Rolling Stones have paid tribute to the pop rock music veterans The Beatles at Desert Trip festival in California.
The band, which is composed of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, performed a cover song of The Beatles as they hit the stage on the opening night of the festival, reported Femalefirst.
"This may be strange to you now. We're gonna do a cover song of a sort of unknown beat group. I think you might remember (them), we're gonna try a cover of one of their tunes.
"Tonight we're not going to do any age jokes or anything, OK? Welcome to the Palm Springs retirement home for gentle English musicians," Jagger, 73, told the crowd.
Jagger, also the lead vocalist of the group, talked about their upcoming album "Blue & Lonesome", which features their rendition of "Ride 'Em on Down".
