The Rolling Stones Return to Chicago

The Rolling Stones paid tribute to Chicago's rich blues history during their concert at Soldier Field by performing 'Sweet Home Chicago' along with their classic 'Midnight Rambler.' The band's deep connection to Chicago blues legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf influenced their music significantly. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood delivered an energetic performance, with Jagger still mourning the absence of drummer Charlie Watts. The Rolling Stones' origins trace back to their mutual love for Chicago rhythm and blues, shaping the band's identity. Chicago continues to celebrate its blues heritage through events like 'Chicago Bound: The Great Migration of the Blues,' honoring iconic musicians like Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon who shaped the Chicago Blues sound.
