Watch this! Eric Clapton and Florence Welch, live in London with the Stones

The Rolling Stones did their second of two 50th anniversary shows at London's O2 Arena Thursday night, and it was just as much of a spectacle as the first show last weekend. Former bassist Bill Wyman appeared for "It's Only Rock and Roll" and "Honky Tonk Women," and former guitarist Mick Taylor sat in on "Midnight Rambler." Eric Clapton joined the band for "Champagne and Reefer" (not literally; it's an old Muddy Waters song.)
At Sunday night's show, Mary J. Blige filled the all-important role of female vocalist on "Gimme Shelter;" last night the honors went to Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine, on what must have been the most thrilling night of her career. Flo gave Jagger a run for his money when it came to cocky strutting. Take look, and a listen:
The Stones take a break for a week as they travel across the pond for the first of three East coast U.S. shows -- Brooklyn, NYC on December 8.
