The Rolling Stones are livestreaming past performances as part of a six-part series.
The Extra Licks concert series is the band’s contribution to YouTube’s #StayHome campaign helping people across the world stick to Covid-19 lockdown measures.
A post on Twitter from the band announcing the livestream shows reads: “The Stones have just announced ‘Extra Licks’ – a series of special past performances streaming worldwide every Sunday exclusively on YouTube!”

Extra Licks premiered with footage from their 2016 Ole Tour of Latin America, followed by other shows, including from the 1994 Voodoo Lounge Tour, airing each Sunday until mid-June.
The band debuted Living In A Ghost Town, their first original tune since 2012’s Doom and Gloom last month, which they first recorded a year ago while working on music for a new album but reworked and released it due to its pertinent lyrics amid the coronavius crisis.
