Mick Jagger -Rock Royalty, Not To be Outdone by Genuine Royalty Parties At Shangri-la Glastonbury
"I'm going to tell you something, you know it's great to be here doing this show," Jagger said from the stage before third song 'Paint It, Black', during which two flares were lit up in the crowd. "You all look amazing, after all these years they finally got around to asking us. Thank you Michael [Eavis]." Despite speculation that a big-name guest – rumoured to be Adele or Florence Welch – would provide guest vocals on 'Gimme Shelter', the duty instead fell to the less headline-grabbing backing vocalist Lisa Fischer."I arrived last night," Jagger then told the crowd. "I went to Shangri-La, I saw the Arctic Monkeys, I couldn't get up the tower because the queue was too big." The singer then strapped on an acoustic guitar for little-heard track 'Factory Girl', renamed 'Glastonbury Girl' especially for the occasion, and which Jagger claimed to have written "last night". ' 'Wild Horses' followed, then 'Doom And Gloom' from last year's 'GRRR!' compilation.
Former Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, who played with the band from 1969 to 1974, joined in for the next track, an extended version of 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking'. He left the stage before 'Honky Tonk Women', after which Jagger introduced the band, which included saxophonist Bobby Keys. After his own introduction, guitarist Keith Richards took vocals on a rambling 'You Got The Silver' and 'Happy'. An animated Jagger took centre-stage again for Stones-go-disco track 'Miss You', at which point he invited the crowd to sing along to the high-pitched chorus.
Mick Taylor rejoined the band for a long 'Midnight Rambler', which seemed to test the patience of the crowd, and '2000 Light Years From Home'. The crowd perked up for a run of hits beginning with 'Sympathy For The Devil', which saw a giant mechanical phoenix atop the Pyramid Stage come alive, flapping its wings and raising its head before plumes of fire burst out from the top of the stage.
The main set ended with 'Brown Sugar'. The encore, which saw Jagger wearing another sparkly jacket, included 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', where the band were joined by an all-female choir. They finished with '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction', at which point red ticker tape was released above the crowd. The set ended with bright white fireworks. After a pause, the band returned to take a bow.

Shangri-la now by by appointment to HRH Prince Harry!
Prince Harry parties at Glastonbury with punters until 4AM after rocking out to Rolling Stones
The Prince was encourage to party into the night by festival organiser Michael Eavis
SWNS
Prince Harry gave Glastonbury the royal seal of approval by partying until the early hours of the morning, festival organiser Michael Eavis said today.
The prince was spotted backstage watching The Rolling Stones headline the Pyramid Stage last night and also enjoyed music at the Park and John Peel stages in yesterday's sunshine with girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
But Michael Eavis said Harry's fun was far from over when Sir Mick Jagger finished singing shortly before midnight.
The 77-year-old farmer said: "Prince Harry was great actually.
"I recommended that he should go on into the night, because the nightlife is what Glastonbury is all about.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, you don't get it.

"I told him to get his taxi driver to come back at five o'clock in the morning and do you know what? He lasted until four in the morning.
"His friends were all having a great time. He didn't want to make a formal thing of being here."
Harry and Cressida are believed to have gone largely unnoticed, blending into the young festival crowd.
Harry bought drinks for his friends at the festival's Bar Boulevard during his visit to the site yesterday - and fitted in so well that the barman didn't recognise him.
Bar manager Natalie Newby said he arrived in the early evening and was casually dressed as he ordered a round of rum and cokes.
"We've had a few celebs in before but never royalty," she said. "We'll have to get a royal crest for next year.
"He just blended in with everyone and looked like a normal punter. The person who served him didn't realise who it was until after he'd left.
"We treated him as we would any other customer. Some of the staff who did recognise him joked we should ID him - but we didn't in the end."
The bar is staffed by volunteers from the Workers' Bar Company, raising money for campaigning and trade union organisations.
Harry is reported to have spent much of the night in Shangri-La, at the festival's infamous "naughty corner".
The heaven and hell themed area features a Garden of Eden exclusive bar, where Harry is believed to been seen. The bar, a carpeted yurt with a chandelier and fountain, only has space for 30 people and serves absinthe cocktails.
