The show featured some songs that had yet to be written in 1969, including "Beast of Burden" and the recent "Doom and Gloom," as well as 1960s favorites like "Sympathy For the Devil," "Paint It Black" and "Gimme Shelter."
Former band member Mick Taylor, who played with the band for the first time at the 1969 show, joined the Stones onstage for "Midnight Rambler."
"We just found him in the pub and put him onstage in front of 200,000 people," Jagger joked of Taylor's debut.
The band nodded to its past with big-screen footage of old concerts, and saluted its inspirations with clips of blues greats from B.B. King to James Brown and Etta James. Young Texas bluesman Gary Clark Jr. was invited onstage to play with the band on "Bitch."
It all ended with fireworks and "Satisfaction" -- and for fans in the crowd, satisfaction.
"They're the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world," said 25-year-old James Williamson, who inherited a love of the Stones from his father.
"At the end of the day, they're more talented than any band that's around today. They've still got an edge to them."
