(hennemusic) The Rolling Stones made big news in early October when they performed a surprise show for 1,200 truckers at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas on October 3rd and, a day later, issued a pair of video clips teasing news of their first new album in a decade.

The concert was part of a customer appreciation dinner for truck manufacturer Freightliner during the 2016 American Trucking Associations' annual Management Conference & Exhibition, according to TT News.

The band delivered a 14-song, 90-minute set of classics inside a conference room converted into a concert venue at the Bellagio that includes the first live performance of the "Steel Wheels" single, "Mixed Emotions", since 1990.

The secret Las Vegas gig doubled as a warm-up date ahead of the group's appearances at the Desert Trip festival in Indio, CA on October 7 and 14. The band also offered up two short video previews of a release coming October 6, which is expected to be the lead track from the group's new blues album that was recorded late last year.
