But according to fans in attendance, the emotional high point arrived when the entire stadium joined together during one of the band’s most iconic anthems.
Witnesses described the sound of tens of thousands singing so loudly that Mick Jagger briefly stepped back from the microphone and smiled while listening to the crowd carry the song themselves.
One fan later wrote online:
