The Rolling Stones at Glastonbury

Hello, I’m Jane at DailyStep English and welcome to my Audio Blog.


London is having a heatwave and we are loving it, although sometimes it can be a bit too hot to work.

In this blog, I’ll tell you about how a rock band with an average age of sixty-nine (69) years old rocked Glastonbury music festival.

So come with us now for the Rollng Stones at Glastonbury Festival.

 

 

The Rolling Stones at Glastonbury Festival

It is fifty years since Mick Jagger and Keith Richards formed[1] the legendary[2] rock band the Rolling Stones. The world has changed a lot since nineteen sixty-three (1963) but one thing remains the same – the Stones are still one of the best live bands in the world.

This was the first time that they had ever played at Glastonbury, Britain’s biggest music festival. They may be as old as your grandfather but the Rolling Stones can still rock!!! You can see in the pictures how they looked in 1963 and how they looked on the stage at Glastonbury in July 2013!

They played on the same stage[3] as some bands who were around half a century younger than them but at this Glastonbury festival the Stones stole the show[4]. I watched the concert[5]live[6] on the BBC and thought it was brilliant.

The band have written so many fantastic songs and still play them with great passion. Mick Jagger, the lead singer, danced across the stage with the energy of an 18 year old.

The band have calmed down[7] a lot over the years but Keith Richards, the guitarist, is still a bit of a hellraiser [8]who can drink a bottle of Jack Daniels whisky. I wonder[9] if the band will still be playing in 10 years’ time? (the sound of Brendan on his guitar pretending to be a rock star!)
