Mick Jagger went out to a local bar the night before a Rolling Stones concert in North Carolina, but the Thirsty Beaver Saloon patrons didn't even see the Rolling Stones front man.

Jagger posted a photo of himself having a beer at the Thirsty Beaver on Thursday, with the caption: "Out in Charlotte, NC last night." In the picture, the 78-year-old musician can be seen in a jacket and long pants, which he complements with a baseball cap on his head.

In the photo, the musician is wearing a baseball cap and sipping his drink as discreet customers chat behind him. The Rolling Stones had a concert scheduled at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte the next day, but Jagger still didn't cause a stir at the bar.

According to a local reporter quoted in an NBC article, Jagger went virtually "unnoticed" during his outing at the Thirsty Beaver.

Speaking to The Charlotte Observer, the bar's co-owner, Brian Wilson (not to be confused with the Beach Boys), described the venue as an "eclectic place" and confirmed that Jagger went unnoticed by both staff and patrons. "He was here and then he left," he said to the middle.

Jagger's appearance in North Carolina is part of one of the many stops he and The Rolling Stones are making on their No Filter tour.

When the concert series began Sunday night in St. Louis, the band kept the spirit of the late drummer Charlie Watts alive by performing their first tour without him. There, they paid tribute to Watts by opening with an empty stage and a single drum beat, according to the Associated Press.

A large photo of Watts, who died Aug. 24 at age 80, appeared on the screen, something frontman Mick Jagger said was "really very emotional," according to CNN.

After performing "It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It)" as their second song of the night, Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood walked to the front of the stage together, apparently thanking fans for Offer your love and support in light of Watts's death.

"This is the first tour we've done without him," said Jagger, who held hands with Richards, 77, as he spoke. "We will miss Charlie very much, on and off stage," he said.
