It was a pretty cool thought for me, and certainly confirmed my decision to drive 16 hours to a concert specifically for this song (well, and many others) a wise one. I wondered if I was the only Stones fan there that night who could say they were at the concert where they first performed Paint It Black, 53 years later. About that time, this guy I had spoken with reached over and gave me a "high five". During the show, Mick announced in the introduction that the Stones first played Paint It Black in Indianapolis at the Indy State Fair Coliseum in 1966 and they were going to play it again tonight. Before the show, I was telling a stranger several seats away how I made the long trip from Indy specifically to hear Paint It Black again after being there for it in 1966 and then not in 2015. I wanted to hear it in concert one more time, so when I saw their last American in 2019 had it on the playlist, my wife and I drove out to Denver, CO for the concert. They had played it the night before in Nashville, TN, but only because it was on the ballot and voted as the one fan favorite song to be included. Although it was probably the best concert experience of my life, the only disappointment was that they didn't have that song on their playlist for this tour. I saw them again, for the third time on Jat the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I've always like the song, Paint It Black.one of my all-time favorites.
