"Marhaba!" Mick Jagger's opening comments to the audience as The Rolling Stones kicked off their world tour here at Yas Island Abu Dhabi. He showed off a few more Arabic skills throughout the show including shout outs to Sharjah, Um Al Quain, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah, Dubai...but forgot Al Ain!

Mick introducing the band.
Right after introductions, Keith Richards started a song, but messed it up and had to start over. I think that stuff is great. It's tough being on stage and screwing up, but when you see a legendary band like The Rolling Stones make mistakes, it reminds you that it is all about the music and being in the moment and not perfection.
