The Rolling Stones began their 50th anniversary tour with the biggest bang on Sunday night as a host of special guests joined them for a packed show in London's O2 Arena. Former Stones friends, Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor returned to the ranks, while Mary J. Blige and Jeff Beck were also on hand to help with the celebrations. Wyman left the Stones in 1992, and he was greeted with an applause and a handshake from Keith Richards as he returned to play bass on "It's Only Rock and Roll" and "Honky Tonk Women." The biggest cheers came for Taylor, who hasn't been a Stone since 1974, he played trademark blues guitar solos on an extended version of "Midnight Rambler" and looked like he was enjoying every second of it.Bilge brought a gospel feel to "Gimme Shelter," trading vocals with Mick Jagger, and Beck did a flashy guitar turn on 1969's "I'm Going Down." The evening remained very much about the Stones' main members and their remarkable career though, with the set spanning from their second-ever single, 1963's "I Wanna be Your Man" to their latest, 2012's "Doom and Gloom."
The event ended up pretty much like anyone else's 50th birthday party: there were some old friends, some laughs, some tears, plenty of memories, and a lot of embarrassing dancing.
