The concert was the result of months of diplomacy after the United States and Cuba announced that they would repair decades of broken relations.

Perhaps aware that many of the Cubans attending had not heard much of the band's music, the Stones played many of their most familiar classics, like "Paint it Black," "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Brown Sugar."

Given the low wages of most Cubans, the show was free.

Cuban police and soldiers walked around the concert but it was marked by a mostly joyous atmosphere.
