The Rolling Stones are currently in the midst of their European No Filter tour, which will see the group perform thirteen shows at twelve different venues across September and October. Last night, the iconic rock group hit Letzigrund Stadion in Zurich, Switzerland, and during the performance, the band live debuted their cover of Little Walter’s “Hate To See You Go.”

The Rolling Stones previously recorded their own rendition of Little Walter’s “Hate To See You Go” on Blue And Lonesome, the twelve-track studio album they released last December, which marked their first studio album in over ten years. Blue And Lonesome is chock full of classic blues standards that inspired the group during the beginning stages of their career, with the album also featuring songs originally written or recorded by the likes of Howlin’ Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, and Eddie Taylor. “Hate To See You Go” is the second Little Walter track on the album, joining Blue And Lonesome‘s lead single, a cover of “Just Your Fool.”
In addition to the live debut of “Hate To See You Go” last night, the Rolling Stones also played a number of classic favorites including “Sympathy for the Devil”, “Tumbling Dice,” “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” “Paint It Black,” “Start Me Up,” “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, and an encore of “Gimme Shelter” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” The band also took the time to play another number from Blue & Lonesome with their rendition of Jimmy Reed’s “Ride ‘Em On Down.”
