				"Hey, hey! You, you! Get off 
				of 
				my cloud!" And with that the Rolling Stones steamrolled through 
				a 23-song set Saturday in New York, celebrating a staggering 50 years as a rock band. The sense of nostalgia at the 
				Barclays Center in Brooklyn was heightened by projections on a 
				huge screen of footage of the early days. At one point, Jagger 
				reminisced about the first time the band played New York, in 1964.
