The Rolling Stones hit NYC

Fans watch as the Rolling Stones perform during "The Stones - 50 and Counting" tour December 8, 2012 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

"If you like the Stones, this was as good a show as you could have had," said one fan, Robert Nehring, 58, of Westfield, N.J., who'd paid $500 for his seat. "It was worth it," he said simply.
