The Rolling Stones performed an intimate club show on June 8, 1999, at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London for “1,800 lucky dogs,” according to Paul Sexton’s liner notes for Welcome to Shepherd’s Bush, the upcoming album and DVD video release arriving on December 6th, 2024.

This “secret gig” took place several days before two sold-out shows at the 70,000-seat Wembley Stadium. The shows followed the release of the band’s 1998 live album, No Security, a series of North American gigs between January and April that year before returning to the U.K.

The star-studded audience at the gig marking The Rolling Stones’ return home included Anita Pallenberg, Aerosmith, Jerry Hall, Jon Bon Jovi, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Bob Geldof, Pete Townshend, and Lenny Kravitz.

Welcome to Shepherd’s Bush will be available in various formats, including for the first time ever for a Stones video, 4K UHD with a Dolby Atmos audio option.  Other formats include Blu-ray + two-CD set, a two-CD limited edition package of 15,000 worldwide, a two LP black vinyl package, and a direct-to-consumer two-LP set in 180-gram white vinyl.

The 90-minute set featured several deep cuts, including the only known performance to date of “Moon Is Up,” from Voodoo Lounge, along with “Melody” the Black and Blue selection performed only once before. Another highlight featured opening act Sheryl Crow joining the group on-stage for Honky Tonk Women.

Keith Richards plays solo numbers “You Got The Silver” and “Before They Make Me Run.” Between them he declares: “It’s good to be home, I’m telling you now. It’s only rock ‘n’ roll, y’know what I mean?”
