The veteran British band, on their first tour since 1963 without Watts, displayed photos and a video of him on huge projections at the St. Louis, Missouri arena, against a drum solo soundtrack. “It was quite emotional seeing those pictures of Charlie up on the screen. This is our first tour that we’ve ever done without him,” said Jagger, holding hands onstage with Richards.

In St. Louis on Sunday, Steve Jordan took the place of Watts on drums. Jordan had been announced in August as a temporary replacement for Watts, whom it was initially thought would return after needing time to recuperate.
