Rolling Stones: Live Debut of “Tell Me Straight”

Last night, May 26, the Rolling Stones took to the MetLife Stadium stage in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for one date of their new North American tour in support of their latest album, 2023's “Hackney Diamonds”. During the evening, halfway through the concert, the historic British band decided to let the audience listen to a song they had never performed live.
