Rolling Stones take on Toronto; Carrie Underwood is a guest on stage



On May 25, 2013, Rolling Stones performed at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, where they were joined on stage by guest Carrie Underwood for the Stones song "It's Only Rock N'Roll (But I Like It)." According to an announcement on the official Rolling Stones website, this concert was the first time that the Stones performed "Angie" on their 2013 tour.
AEG Live is the promoter of the Rolling Stones' 2013 tour, which features former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor as a guest on all the tour dates. The tour has been named "50 and Counting" as a celebration of the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary.
The concert also marked the return of "Happy" to the set list. "Happy" (which has guitarist Keith Richards on lead vocals) has been a mainstay at most Rolling Stones concerts since the song came out in 1972, but the Stones skipped playing the song at their Los Angeles concert on May 20, 2013.
As of May 8, 2013, select concerts on the tour will feature a song performed by request from fans who voted online via the official Rolling Stones mobile app. For each concert, fans will be given a choice of five different songs to vote for, and the Rolling Stones will perform the song that gets the most votes for that concert. The Rolling Stones also did this for their "50 and Counting" concerts in 2012. At the concert on May 25, 2103, the song performed by request was "Street Fighting Man," which the Stones previously performed at their surprise show at the Echoplex in Los Angeles on April 27, 2013.
