Rolling Stones performs “Mercy, Mercy” for the first time in 50 years

Yes, the Rolling Stones has a long career, so the news that they are playing a song for the first time in 50 years doesn’t come as a surprise. The song recovered by the band was “Mercy, Mercy,” which rolled out at a concert in Landover, Maryland, in the United States last Wednesday (3). Currently, the band is in a new American stage of the “No Filter” tour.

“Mercy, Mercy” is actually a cover of Don Covay. The track included the album “Out of Our Heads”, released by the band in 1965 – the third of the group discography. She had not been part of the repertoire since a concert in 1969, held at Hyde Park in London after the death of guitarist Brian Jones.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
