How many times have the Rolling Stones performed 'Start Me Up' live, and which album is it from?

‘Start Me Up’ comes from the Stones’ 1981 album Tattoo You — a patchwork record assembled from leftover studio tracks, but you’d never know it from how tight that riff is. It’s become one of their most reliable setlist anchors, typically closing main sets or kicking off encores.

As of 2024, the band has played it live well over 1,100 times, making it one of their ten most performed songs. The count keeps climbing because it’s a guaranteed crowd-igniter — even when Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood trade off the riff a little looser than on record.
