A particularly fiery, extended guitar solo by Keith Richards, full of signature swagger and bluesy grit, perhaps during a classic like 'Sympathy for the Devil' or 'Brown Sugar'.

Mick Jagger's call-and-response with the St. Louis audience, showcasing his command over the stadium and the band's enduring connection with their fans.

The tight, propulsive rhythm section of Charlie Watts and Darryl Jones locking into a deep groove on a track like 'Start Me Up,' a masterclass in rock drumming and bass.
