It was a gas, gas, gas in a club on Manhattan's West Side late on Thursday, where the Rolling Stones held a private launch party for their first new album in 18 years.
The Stones, in their seventh decade as a rock 'n roll band, tore through a half-dozen songs for a crowd of hundreds at the Racket NYC club in support of the album "Hackney Diamonds," which has garnered the band some of its best reviews in decades.
"We were missing the launches so much we had to go back and make another album," he told the energized crowd in the middle of a set that alternated new numbers and well-known tracks including "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Tumblin' Dice." The Stones closed with an appearance by Lady Gaga for "Sweet Sounds of Heaven," a slow, blues-infused number off the new album that recalls the band's 70s classic "Moonlight Mile." Gaga and Jagger mimicked each other's dance movies as they alternated vocals, Gaga in a shimmering red-and-black one-sleeved jumpsuit, Jagger wearing a customarily tight black shirt.
The latter has been a member of the band for nearly 50 years despite joining in 1975, 13 years after the Stones were formed.
