Mick introduced the song saying, “we are going to slow it down a bit for you now, do a ballad we haven’t done for quite a long time. It is very passionate. It was almost the first song Keith and I wrote. We didn’t do it at the time. We gave it to a young lady to sing. But we are gonna do it now.”
The Rolling Stones have only ever performed ‘As Tears Go By’ 19 times including tonight.
The Chicago audience was also treated to ‘Sway’ with Mick Taylor as well as Taylor’s regular spot for ‘Midnight Rambler’ and the occasional appearance on ‘Satisfaction’.
