Rolling Stones land in Israel for gig

Storied rock band begins first-ever visit to Israel; preparations underway for Wednesday concert in Tel Aviv

The Rolling Stones touched down in Israel Monday night aboard their private plane, festooned with the band’s name and logo. The visit marks the band’s first in Israel, ahead of a much-anticipated concert for 50,000 fans Wednesday night at Tel Aviv’s Yarkon Park.

The band arrived with a 70-person entourage, at least 100 more technical and other staff, and some 1,000 tourists who flew in Monday to attend the Wednesday concert. The arrivals were dubbed the Rolling Stones “airlift” by Israeli television news anchors.

You Can't Always Get What You Want...there may be disputes as to which songs are relevant to which
side in the conflict....for some. lol

I read they'll have a choir used for that song, which they don't always use..so should leave
quite an impact. It was their masterpiece, imho.
