The Rolling Stones’ 1973 Kooyong Concert 50th Anniversary Show is coming to Yarraville for a night of old school rock.

This year marks 50 years from when The Rolling Stones wowed viewers at the Kooyong Tennis Centre, during a matinee performance on their infamous Exile On Main Street World Tour in 1973.

Now five decades later, Cherry Rock & Leicashow are presenting a local all-star act from THE MONKEY MEN.

Guitarist Andre Warhurst said he has enjoyed playing the show twice already in Upwey and Warragul.

“It has been so much fun, some of the songs we play are my favourite songs ever recorded,” he said.

“It’s been a bit mind blowing to be honest, I have focused heavily on original music personally, so to be able to do something like this is just so much fun.”

Andre said everybody has been unanimous in saying that this show has revived the electricity of the stones.

“It is just a fantastic show and we have gotten great feedback.

“I think this show depicts a Holy Grail era of rock music, everyone involved is putting something in to bring it back to life, we have such a talented bunch of people.”

Some of the songs in the set list include, Brown Sugar, Bitch, Rocks Off, Gimme Shelter, Happy, Tumbling Dice, Love in Vain, Sweet Virginia, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Honky Tonk Women and Down The Line.

The rest of the music talent comprise of Tim Rogers, Davey Lane, Stephen Hadley, Matthew Cotter, Bruce Haymes, Paul Kelly, Jack Howard, Ben Marsland, and Eliza and Talei Wolfgramm.

The event will be held on Friday, November 10 at the Yarraville Club.
