Earlier this week, Philip Brunelle of VocalEssence was unable to reveal how many and which Rolling Stones songs the local choir would perform on Wednesday night, but speculation was rife that VocalEssence would perform at least one song, "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
That speculation proved correct.
Twin Cities arts blog Cake in 15 released this video of VocalEssence performing with the Rolling Stones:
Although the video quality is not necessarily the best, the audio is quite good for how and where the video was shot. The different choral parts are audible, plus the staging makes clear why Brunelle and VocalEssence associate conductor Phillip Shoultz were both asked to direct.
One can also see a rare turn on guitar by Stones frontman Mick Jagger.
You can find a a complete review of the concert, written by MPR's Andrea Swensson, on the Local Current blog.
