Attending a Rolling Stones Concert in Atlanta

Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta reached capacity for the Rolling Stones' June 2015 concert.

Seeing the Rolling Stones live in concert has become a rite of passage for generations, and this is one experience Mary Clark can cross off her "bucket list" after braving a stadium crowd and witnessing Mick Jagger and company in Georgia.

The years have done little to slow down the ubiquitous British rockers. The band still plays frequently, and recently wrapped up a North American "Zip Code" tour which included a stop in Atlanta, where Mary and her husband were visiting.

Traveler is heard Tuesdays at 4:50 or 5:50 during All Things Considered on KETR.
