| Comment | 8.25. Stadium lights out - crowd shouts, screams, adrenalin pumping, expectancy heightened; background music on the pa, tempo quickens; beams of white light strike out randomly across the stadium.
The effect is electrifying - it continues for several minutes as the crowd works itself into a frenzy; something has to give, like a pressure cooker about to explode.........and then.........wham, Keith Richards centre-stage, white light picks him out as the first notes of Brown Sugar burst through the air. The crowd's frenzy is sated, relief and celebration as one - The Rolling Stones are here and the stadium rocks. Openings to a Stones' show never fail - this was as good as any. The show itself - very good in my view, the boys seemed to be putting in that bit more into their last show on home soil. And everyone was on their game tonight - Keith and Charlie especially strong. Acoustics a little patchy from my position left hand side from the stage, half way down the stadium. But - no-one, but no-one can put on a show like The Rolling Stones. They are sanspareill. Highlights - a totally unexpected "Salt of the Earth" with great intro and vocal from Keith, "Rock Me Baby" really rocked - the impact heightened by the two AC/DC guests whose guitar playing inspired Keith and Ronnie to really let rip, a great "Slippin Away" and "Sympathy for the Devil". Mick........ as usual the centre of attention, worked the crowd as always quite brilliantly......... vocals strong through the show. 10.30 - the curfew time - in days of yore I've no doubt their regard for such an imposition would have been simple and to the point - ignore it. Not this time - the show draws to a close with a rousing encore, Jumpin' Jack Flash. Last bows, fireworks - a totally satisfied crowd. Another day, another show by the world's greatest rock n' roll band. Keep it going.........please ! |
