Rolling Stones U.S. shows sell out in a flash; Paris set list, videos revealed (Video)


Tickets to the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary shows at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., sold out in just minutes, the band announced Friday.
Fans can still see the band live in concert on pay-per-view at 9 p.m. ET in a show being presented by WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment). “One More Shot,” as it's titled, will be the band’s final performance of its 50th anniversary shows and will be made available through various providers.
The Stones also posted clips today on YouTube from their club show last night at Le Trabendo in Paris. One clip posted by the band shows Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts performing “Jumpin' Jack Flash.”
Another very brief official clip featured the band doing “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, while a longer unofficial one filmed from the audience has “Shattered” and “When the Whip Comes Down”. Despite the long layoff, the band sounds very tight.
According to Rolling Stone magazine, the group played 12 songs: "Route 66," "It's Only Rock & Roll (But I Like It)," "Shattered," "When the Whip Comes Down," "Champagne and Reefer," "Doom and Gloom” (one of their two new songs), "Miss You," "Start Me Up," "Midnight Rambler," "Tumbling Dice," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar."
