After a nearly 50 year absence the Rolling Stones returned to Berlin, playing a concert at the city's Waldbühne.

According to organizers, 22,000 tickets for the show sold out in within minutes.

Klaus Meine, singer for the Scorpions, was in the crowd, and told Euronews that he was looking forward to the gig:
"I am looking forward to an awesome concert. Great mood here at the Waldbühne, awesome gig, and the Stones . . . It doesn't get much better than that."

The Stones pick up their tour June 16 at Vienna's Ernst Happel Stadium, and continue on in Europe with stops in Dusseldorf (June 19), Rome (June 22), Madrid (June 25), Werchter (June 28), Stockholm (July 1) and Roskilde (July 3).
