The Stones kick off this season's Zip Code Tour at Petco Park!
Moves like Jagger because he is Jagger!

In the hours leading up to Sunday's opening night of the Rolling Stones 2015 Zip Code Tour at Petco Park, the atmosphere in the Gaslamp Quarter was on fire. Every bar, every restaurant was at or over capacity with crowds overflowing into the already crowded streets. Thousands of fans without tickets gathered outside the park just to hear the band and be part of the experience. Much like the 1969 Woodstock music festival, over 42,000 people actually got in, but many more than that will claim to have been witness to Mick Jagger and the boys’ epic performance.

Keef!

With a youthfulness not seen in acts 30 years younger, Jagger danced, shucked, and jived through the two-hour plus set, digging deep into their extensive catalog. Opening with "Jumping Jack Flash" and "It's Only Rock And Roll (But I Like It),” Jagger wasted no time in getting the sold-out crowd on their feet and kept them there throughout the show. Local sax master Karl Denson caught the ear of the Stones, who correctly drafted him for this tour. The 2015 Zip Code Tour continues in Columbus, Ohio on May 30, after a “private” concert at Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach on Wednesday, May 27.
