Rolling Stones are back in Glendale as legendary Valley promoter recalls their greatness
GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Rolling Stones are rocking in Glendale on Tuesday.
One of the longest-touring rock bands of all time is expected to bring thousands of fans to State Farm Stadium.
Legendary Valley promoter Danny Zelisko shared some of his experiences with the band as they return once again to Arizona.
"They're the kings. I mean, they're not only the longest lasting group out there but they're the biggest!" Zelisko said.
Zelisko has had had more than just a backstage pass watching The Rolling Stones over the last 40 years, he says the concert-goers are able to feed off the group's energy.
"The people go there and have a blast and it's just amazing that they're so good after all these years," he said.
Mick, Keith and Ronnie are household names that span over generations.
"It's going to sound as fresh as the day it was created," he said.
