'Marvellous' retro article on The Rolling Stones in Sheffield - reader's letter
Well, The Stones’ rebirth actually started with the Some Girls album (1978).
This was the rockers’ attempts to combat the emergence of punk and new wave music etc.

As I distinctly remember Ronnie Wood saying “It’s great to be back in the Steel City”.
Then it was in 2006, when they returned to the Don Valley Stadium, and performed their Back to the Blues segment, coming out onto a bridge, Bridges to Babylon in the centre of the stadium.
