More than 50 years after "I Wanna Be Your Man," the Rolling Stones are once again singing Beatles songs. Last night (Oct. 7), they kicked off Desert Trip in Indio, Calif., by covering "Come Together," which is embedded above.

Admitting it was "strange," Mick Jagger said, "We're gonna do a cover song of some sort of unknown beat group. [I] think you might remember. We're gonna try a cover of one of their tunes." Then he asked, "Are you ready?" three times and launched into the Abbey Road chestnut, which also featured a harmonica solo from the singer in the outro.

Paul McCartney, who, according to Yahoo! Music, witnessed the Stones' set from a VIP box and pumped his fist during "Come Together," plays Desert Trip tonight. Let's see if he repays the favor.

The Stones' 20-song set also included "Ride 'Em on Down," a 1955 single by Eddie Taylor, which Setlist.fm says was played at their first-ever performance, at London's Marquee Club on July 12, 1962. "Ride 'Em on Down," the performance of which is embedded below, will appear on their upcoming collection of blues songs, Blue & Lonesome. The album, which was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs over three days and features Eric Clapton on two songs, will be released Dec. 2.

Bob Dylan served as the opening act, delivering 16 songs that saw him perform seven songs from his post-Time Out of Mind comeback, although nothing from his two recent collections of standards. He closed with "Ballad of a Thin Man" from Highway 61 Revisited and encored with "Masters of War," from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.
