Even if it was a little - OK, a lot - further South than Cleveland, whom they last visited when Jimmy Carter was president, would’ve preferred. Jagger, who hasn’t gained an ounce since the doctor snipped his umbilical cord 71 years ago, remains the consummate showman. That’s necessary when you surround yourself with guys like guitarists Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards and drummer Charlie Watts (who actually SMILED during the show at least once). Remarkably, the trademark Jagger strut has not gone away, or even lessened that much. And I think Bob Fosse’s estate owes him a commission because I truly believe it was Jagger who invented - or at the very least perfected - “jazz hands”… But let’s not kid ourselves. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers’ show was all about nostalgia. The set list - from opener “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” to the final encore “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” - it is all about trying to recapture, or at least remember, our lost youth… But perhaps no song better captured the jam feel of the night better than “Midnight Rambler,” with Jaggers’ rockin’ harp solos. And it WAS a jam night. Many times, you could see Watts looking at Richards looking at Wood wondering when the heck Jagger was going to end a song. Truth be told, that DID lead to a couple of rather ragged endings. But more than that - MUCH more than that - it highlighted the difference between the sometimes sterile, calculated “rock” of today and what real rock ‘n’ roll was. I know it sounds like I’m an old fogie, standing on my porch and railing against “you kids today.” But the reality is that THIS is what rock ‘n’ roll is all about. + + + + + Thanks to ironchef for recording and sharing the show (the fans are very grateful). ironchef noted: Recorded from Section E row 41 (Ronnie’s side on the floor). My seat was supposed to be quite a bit further back on the field, but they upgraded a bunch of us to the front section, so I ended up being much closer than expected. Despite the threat of rain and that there had been storms earlier in the evening, the weather was perfect for the show. I just love the fact that these guys are still going strong and are capable of putting on a sold show that is very entertaining besides the fact that they are living legends. Catch them while you can, and you won’t be disappointed. Long live the Stones! Enjoy! Pictures by Bjornulf Vik, posted at iorr.org - Thanks!
