The Rolling Stones rocked Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, on Monday, June 3, and they threw in a little twang for good measure. The show featured a 19-song set that included the tour debut of the legendary British band’s 1971 country-rock classic “Dead Flowers.”

For the performance, frontman Mick Jagger invited the support act, country singer/songwriter Tyler Childers, to join The Stones onstage. Childers contributed some harmony vocals and shared lead with Jagger for one of the verses, while strumming an acoustic guitar.

This marked the first time the band had played “Dead Flowers” since a July 2022 show near Lyon, France. Jagger hinted that The Stones might be dusting off the song for their Hackney Diamonds tour when he recently posted a video of him rehearsing “Dead Flowers” with the band’s backing singers on his Instagram page.
The Orlando show also featured the tour debut of The Stones’ psychedelic gem “She’s a Rainbow,” which was a Top-30 hit for the band in 1967. The song was chosen for the band to play by a fan vote. Before kicking into the tune, Jagger quipped, “Oh dear, I don’t know if I remember it. I’ll give it a go.”
The last time the band performed “She’s a Rainbow” was in June 2022 at Hyde Park in London.
The Stones’ Post-Show Message
The Rolling Stones posted a photo gallery from the Orlando concert on their social media pages after the show. The post also included a note that read, “Amazing night in Florida! Thank you Orlando … Special thanks to [Tyler Childers] for joining on Dead Flowers!”
