The Rolling Stones – Hackney Diamonds: Live Edition (2-CD)
Product Details
Hackney Diamonds arrived nearly two decades after A Bigger Bang, and the Stones met that long wait with a record that sounded hungry rather than nostalgic. The Live at Racket NYC disc captures the band road-testing new material in a club-sized room, a rare glimpse of Mick, Keith, and Ronnie playing to a few hundred people rather than a few hundred thousand.
Hitting #1 in 19 countries on release, Hackney Diamonds marked the return of the Rolling Stones as their first
original studio album since A Bigger Bang in 2005. The album includes the GRAMMY-nominated lead single,
“Angry,” alongside “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” featuring vocals from Lady Gaga and piano and keyboard from
Stevie Wonder. Late drummer Charlie Watts features on the tracks, “Mess It Up,” and “Live By the Sword,”
alongside Bill Wyman. The album also includes collaborations with Paul McCartney and Elton John. This special 2
CD set of Hackney Diamonds includes Live at Racket NYC, featuring 7 tracks the band performed at the intimate
launch event in New York City on October 19, 2023, with debut live performances of “Angry,” “Bite My Head Off,”
“Whole Wide World,” and “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” with Lady Gaga. The 24-page booklet includes photos from
the performance by Kevin Mazur. Limited Edition.
