There was a mad rush for tickets as British rockers The Rolling Stones announced a secret Paris warm-up gig on Thursday.
The biggest rock stars in the world didn't disappoint as the lucky few who managed to bag tickets were treated to a night of the band's classic hits.
Giving an energetic and intimate performance, fans found themselves in close proximity to their rock idols as the band proved that they had just as much on-stage chemistry as they did 50 years ago.
The band, who will be celebrating their 50th anniversary with a series of special London and New York gigs next month, opened their set with classic hit Route 66 that also appeared on the group's 1964 debut album.
Frontman Mick Jagger chatted to the crowd in French before they performed a selection of their classic tunes including Miss You, Start Me Up, It's Only Rock 'N' Roll, Tumbling Dice, Midnight Rambler as well as a cover of Muddy Waters' Champagne & Reefer.
One lucky fan said this:
'They were much more tight (tonight). I saw them for the first time in 1979 - worst concert I have ever seen. Tonight - amazing! I saw younger men tonight than I saw in 1979.'
Seeing them in concert is on my 'bucket list.'

Saw them at The Cotton Bowl in 1989. Thought it would be my last chance to ever see them. Still playing 23 years later....
