Rolling Stones Release Expanded 2002 Live at the Wiltern Concert
by Best Classic Bands Staff
The Rolling Stones have released expanded editions of their 2002 Live at the Wiltern concert. The title, with many rarely played classics recorded at the intimate Los Angeles venue on November 4 of that year, arrived on March 8, 2024, via Universal Music and Mercury Studios on 2-CDs + Blu-ray [U.S.], 2-CDs + DVD [U.S.], 2-CDs [U.S. and U.K.], 3-LPs on black vinyl [U.S. and U.K.], and an Amazon exclusive of 3-LPs on bronze-and-black swirl vinyl [also available in the U.K.].
The set includes such classic rock standards as “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Honky Tonk Women” and “Brown Sugar.” But the 2002 performance shines with such rarities as “Stray Cat Blues,” “Neighbours,” and “Everybody Needs Somebody To Love,” with a guest spot by Solomon Burke. See the complete track listing below.
From the Jan. 9 announcement: Over 80 songs were performed on the “Licks World Tour” from all eras of the band’s history. Mick Jagger played guitar, harmonica and keyboards at various stops. Keith Richards, stellar on guitar and vocals, provided both visual and musical highlights throughout the night. On stage right, Ron Wood’s complimentary guitar work weaves seamlessly with Richards’ playing. Drummer Charlie Watts [1941-2021], as always, was the heart ’n’ soul backbeat that drove the band forward. Bassist Darryl Jones, keyboardist Chuck Leavell, saxophonist Bobby Keys and backing vocalists Lisa Fischer, Bernard Fowler and Blondie Chaplin added immeasurable flourishes.
With Tom Petty, Neil Young, Sheryl Crow, Johnny Depp, Stephen Stills and Eddie Murphy in the audience, The Rolling Stones proceeded to raise the roof.

Jump into a conversationNo Satisfaction? Stones concert without it must be the ninth miracle of the world!
It’s hard to believe, but they did not play the song on their 1975 Tour of the Americas either.
I’ve seen the Stones live many times (over 15X) and “Satisfaction” was rarely played.
I’ve seen them over one hundred times, and they’ve played it at every single show I’ve been to since the late 80s (and that’s 3-4 per tour). In fact I wish they’d stop playing and pick something from their 90s hits
Isn’t this just kind of a rehash of the “Live Licks” CD set?
