True Rolling Showmen

October 21, 2006 3:33:59 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
I'm not going to write a long review about the Rolling Stones concert we attended last night...seen as some of you might have already had this experience and know this band pretty well.

However, I do want to state how impressed I was with their keen sense of pleasing the audience. Every little move (even the weird Mick ones) was geared toward getting the audience into it, getting them in a frenzy, and mesmerizing them to remain standing through 99 percent of the concert. Not once did Jagger let his energy wane...not once. Wow. And they were all smiles throughout the show...just totally having fun with it all along with the crowd.

The stage display was overwhelming (looked like a modern building, with lucky fans on the balconies), the multicolored lighting and pyrotechnics were awesome...and the traveling stage, well let's just say that the fans at the back of the back of this outdoor stadium were definitely able to get a closer look at the "boys"...I was excited for them even though it wasn't me getting that lucky view...lol.

Of course, they played all their hits and every audience member had a fun time. They even had fans who didn't pay for tickets climbing the mountains surrounding the stadium to take a peek!

Although I do like some of their songs, I don't consider myself a Stones fanatic...but this is one of the best concerts I have ever attended...and I left it so impressed with how they much effort they put forth to please the crowd.

Definitely a great birthday gift.

I saw them in "80 when it was supposedly their first farewell tour!

They do put on a great show and I can agree with you, even up to now it is probably one of the best live shows I have seen as well.

I'm glad you had a great birthday!

lol...I never trust when bands say they are on their "farewell" tour...you just see them popping up again a few years later.
Yep, it was a great show, and glad to hear you enjoyed your experience as well.

Thanks, Serenity...I had a great time...it was an awesome night. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Dave Matthews band opened up...we missed some of their set since we were running late, but from what we were able to catch, I thought they sounded really good. Many people showed up simply to see them, which is no surprise I guess since they are known to have a loyal following.

I've only ever seen live Stones footage, but I've not attended a show myself. I imagine it would be one helluva show, for sure. I have a lot of respect for them, even though I'm more a Beatles man.

Glad you had a good time.

Oh, I envy anyone who has ever seen a Beatles show. A co-worker and I were just talking about them today as a matter of fact...he is a Beatles fanatic who never had the chance to see them in person.

I wish I'd seen them too. The Beatles mean so much to me. One of the earliest memories I have is playing with my matchbox cars on the floor in the kitchen while my mother was humming along to 'Lady Madonna' on the radio. And this is when the song first came out so it is a loooong time ago.
