Thank You, Texas — Or Was It Goodbye?

Keith Richards’ tribute wasn’t just a passing gesture—it was the emotional core of the Rolling Stones’ Arlington concert. As he stepped forward under the lights in a bright green jacket, tossing a cigarette behind him with flair, he called for a round of applause for the late Bobby Keys, the Stones’ longtime saxophonist and Richards’ close friend. Then, with ragged charm, he sang Before They Make Me Run in Keys’ honor, trading licks with Ronnie Wood and suddenly looking more alive than he had all night. The moment cracked through the glitzy surface of the stadium spectacle, reminding everyone that behind the myth and money were old friends playing for the joy of it—and for the ones no longer there. When Richards ended his short set with a gruff “Thank you, Texas,” it didn’t feel like routine banter. It felt like a farewell whispered beneath the roar of 60,000 fans.

From Sluggish Start to Fiery Finish

Earlier, Richards had barely played, leaving Jagger to drag the show through its uneven first half. But Jagger was tireless—dancing, joking, even crooning “All My Exes Live in Texas” with a wink. Still, it wasn’t until Richards woke up that the band clicked. Tracks like Midnight Rambler and Sympathy for the Devil might now be stadium-friendly shadows of their raw origins, but they still hit hard once the Stones started behaving like a band again. Jagger may be the show’s engine, but Richards is its soul—and Saturday night proved the Stones still have both.
