On Friday night the second weekend of Desert Trip started at the Polo Fields in Indio, California. The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan kicked off the festivities with full sets ahead of tonight’s performances from Paul McCartney and Neil Young & Promise Of The Real and Sunday’s sets from The Who and Roger Waters.
Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan started the day with a set that didn’t stray too far from what he and his band laid down one week prior. Dylan’s 15-song set was exactly the same, but he did have a different encore in store for Weekend Two. Instead of encoring with “Masters Of War,” Bob treated festivalgoers to “Like A Rolling Stone” as well as a cover of Cy Coleman’s “Why Try To Change Me Now.” The Minnesota native filled the set with plenty of his most beloved songs including “Rainy Day Women #12 & #35,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” “Highway 61 Revisited,” “Tangled Up In Blue” and “Desolation Row.”
The Rolling Stones changed up their set in a big way between the first and second weekends of the event. On Friday Mick Jagger & Co. kicked off their 18-song main set with “Jumping Jack Flash.” They then went through a series of big hits “Get Off Of My Cloud,” “It’s Only Rock And Roll (But I Like It)” and “Tumbling Dice” ahead of the live debut cover of “Just Your Fool.” The Stones then busted out “Sweet Virginia” for the first time in nearly two years, played their first “Angie” since March and dusted off “Live With Me” after a span of more than two years.
“Paint It Black” returned to action for the first time since March and from there the rest of the set followed a similar game plan to the previous week’s performance though Keith Richards subbed “You Got The Silver” for “Slipping Away” during his two-song run leading the band. The set ended with one huge hit after another and The Stones encored in typical fashion with “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.”
