"Go See A Show!" Your Guide To L.A.'s Best Live Music This Week

::Friday, May 3::

The Rolling Stones at Staples Center

In honor of their 50th anniversary, the legends that are the unstoppable Rolling Stones are giving the younger generation who grew up listening to a band that survived the flower child 60s, disco 70s, electric 80s, grunge/alt 90s and whatever it is we are currently living in, a series of shows that are sure to go down in rock history. With an anthology of hits throughout the decades and household names like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones have forged an iconic image and created music that transcends time. Even with 50 years under their belts, The Stones have kept their rockin' image alive and kicking serious ass, and with a recent surprise performance at a basement hipster venue in Echo Park, it seems they are all about living this tour up to its full potential. So don't miss out on your chance to see them bring down the house this week at the kickoff show for their "50 and Counting" tour. [Details] [Photo via]

Bag Raiders (DJ Set) at Lure

This Australian duo not only kicks out hits like "Shooting Stars," but they also take hits and make them even better with their always awesome remixes. So if you are a fan or you haven't even heard of Bag Raiders, here's your chance to dance the night away to DJs who actually know what's up and won't be caught dead playing top 40 unless they give their special mashing touch to it. Also, with Jason Bentley DJing this party at Lure as well, you know you will be getting that special touch and hear some new jams spinning all night long. [Details] [Photo via]
