The Rolling bones

Jurassic rockers deliver satisfaction at Barclays

You can’t always get what you want — but the Rolling Stones showed last night that they still had what they needed to thrill a screaming crowd.

The wrinkly rockers found a fountain of youth springing from the stage at the Barclays Center, where they played a sold-out mega concert that hit the crowd of 18,000 like a crossfire-hurricane.

Although most of his peers are worried about hip-breaking — the timeless, 69-year-old Mick Jagger opened the show with a red-hot rendition of “Get Off My Cloud” that was positively hip-shaking.

Behind him, guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood stood side by side, soaking up the screaming crowd. At the back, Charlie Watts played the drums with that familiar nonchalance that has long made him the coolest Stone.

Ronald AsadorianAFTER 50 YEARS, STILL NO MOSS: The Rolling Stones, all pushing or past 70, had enough Geritol in their systems last night to make one wonder if the ambulance (right) outside the Barclays Center was standing by for one of them or someone in the sellout crowd of 18,000.The group may have looked older than a meeting of the Supreme Court — but they were able to summon the ghosts of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll past.

There were a few, creaky, Metamucil moments at the start, such as when Jagger tried his hand at comedy.

“We came here by the subway,” explained Jagger. “I sat next to this really nice bloke who didn’t have a clue who I was . . . it turned out to be Jay-Z.”

After name-checking the Barclays Centers’ master of the house, the Stones appropriately laid into their iconic classic “Gimme Shelter,” which benefitted hugely from the addition of Mary J. Blige as guest vocalist.

Both she and Jagger combined to lift the sexual tension to staggeringly exciting levels.

Sadly, like grandpa at Christmas dinner, the Stones couldn’t quite keep up the pace through the latter courses.

New songs “One More Shot” and the riotously fun “Doom And Gloom” were used as bathroom breaks by many in the crowd.

By the time the leathery Richards took center stage to perform lead vocals on “Happy” and “Before They Make Me Run,” the show seemed to be going flaccid in more ways than one.

But, before the Stone’s old bones totally turned to dust, the show seemed to be hit with a sudden shot of Viagra, especially when they started laying into classics such as “Midnight Rambler” and “Start Me Up.”

On the former, Richards and Wood trade solos like delta blues brothers with Jagger howling up an evil storm whenever he could get a word (or a sound) in edge ways.

“Sympathy For The Devil” captured the band in their full satanic swing, before Jagger turned preacher man for a gospel choir aided “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

And if there’s a better one-two punch than “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” followed by “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” then it doesn’t exist in this world.

“Are you having a good time now?” asked Jagger as the show sped towards its conclusion.

It took us a little while, Mick. But yeah, we got there in the end.

Another NY paper review and worth clicking on the link as there are some great pictures in the review

Stones give Brooklyn satisfaction with a rousing performance at Barclays Center

Song after song, Stones prove they are, above all, a stellar live band

Mick Jagger delivered his usual funky chicken dance with youthful exuberance as the Rolling Stones rocked the house at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

It started with a flick of a riff. A fleet guitar lick from Keith Richards in ‘Get Off My Cloud” signaled to fellow guitarist Ron Wood to send back a sneaky run of his own. Bassist Daryl Jones fleshed out the framework from below, while drummer Charlie Watts gave them all a hard kick from behind, setting the music in bracing motion.

Together, it created the sleekest possible vehicle for singer Mick Jagger to ride. It also provided the best explanation for how the fifty-year old Stones could take the stage at Barclays Center on Saturday and sound so spry.

James Keivom/New York Daily News

Keith Richards and pals still know how to rock.In song after song last night, the Stones proved that they are, above all, a live band -a working set of musicians who find their highest purpose by pushing and pulling against each other’s cagey rhythms.

In “All Down The Line” Richards and Wood locked riffs and leads like two rams, scraping against each other to intensify the beat. In “Miss You,” the crack of Watts’ taut snare served as a spur, putting the guitar riffs into italics.

Fans wearing tongue masks were pumped for the Rolling Stones at Barclays Center.Ricocheting interplays like this can happen during any Stones song, which explains why they can vary the selections at each of the five shows on their “50 and Counting” mini-tour and still satisfy. It helps that their catalogue gives them so much to mine. Last night’s show, like the two that preceded it in London, balanced work from their earlier era, like the R&B “The Last Time,” or the psychedelic “Paint It Black,” with songs from their ‘70s peak, like “Wild Horses” and “Honky Tonk Woman.”

Mick Jagger, forever young, on stage at the Barclays Center.Almost as tokens, the group tossed in the two new songs that appear on their latest greatest hits package, “Grrrr.” While neither rivals the cream of their cannon, each offers patented, Stones-style riffs the live band made swing.

As 69-year-old Jagger raced around the tongue-shaped stage, he delivered his usual funky chicken dance with enviable energy. Having retained his hair, and his figure, meant, if you squint, he could still look sorta, kinda young. Certainly, he sounded it.

Ron Wood shreds on guitar at Barclays Center.Jagger also added a cheeky modern reference, joking that he came to Barclays by subway. “I sat next to this guy who hadn’t a clue who I was,” he said, “Jay-Z.”

The band made another local reference by featuring Mary J. Blige, who shouted Merry Clayton’s part in “Gimme Shelter.” She gave the piece the right sense of alarm. The band also featured the young blues guitarist of the hour, Gary Clark Jr., who gave “I’m Goin’ Down” his own crisp sear.

In “Miss You,” the crack of Charlie Watts’ taut snare served as a spur, putting the guitar riffs into italics.Unlike the London shows, Brooklyn’s show did not feature bassist Bill Wyman or guitarist Mick Taylor. That’s a particular shame in the latter case, considering Taylor rates as the most elegant and expansive guitarist the band ever had. As if to make up for it, Wood and Richards worked extra hard at the groove on the song Taylor earlier played on (“Midnight Ramber”), chopping out sharp and concise riffs that cut.

The Rolling Stones played three encores at Barclays Center.Richards cackled through his usual vehicles, “Happy” and “Before They Make Me Run.” They’re songs, like so many in this two-hour-and-twenty minute show, that fans have heard a million times before. Yet their delivery in real time, re-defined them. Like all great live bands, The Stones make their music in the moment. Which explains why their music will always of the moment, no matter how many decades threaten to date it.

The Stones' set includes their trademark lips and a classic photo of themselves.

It appears NYCBC was there last night:

I'm on the fence about if I should buy it from them. I don't want to support them at all, especially after having an argument with one of them last week over a Maiden video where they're clearly acting unfairly, but it is the Stones...

Just wait someone will buy it and upload :)

"Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga and the Black Keys"

Which one of these three doesn't belong.....

Also Stones meets Bruce..... :wub: :wub: :wub:

I think she'll do okay if they do Gimme Shelter. He sang Live with Me with Aguilera, so that's possible, too.

Bruce knows his Stones, I'm sure he knows all the old and obscure stuff, so should be interesting what they decide to sing.

I'd think Gimme Shelter is more likely seeing as they've done it with the female guest at every show so far. I think it'll be good.

Great review P5! Not quite as critical as I expected based on your introduction. ;)

Sounds like a great show. If they tour next year I'll make sure I'm there. I've never seen The Stones and this could very well be the last opportunity.

They're a "put your money aside for" band. I would've loved to have seen one of the theater shows.

I heard the 121212 Concert isn't going to be on the regular networks because they don't know how long the bands are going to perform, and who might be added to the lineup at the last minute. Cool that Mick Taylor decided to fly out, the fans will be happy about that. Guess Wyman's sitting it out.

In New Jersey, they might through "Thru and Thru" into one of the dates, because of "Sopranos".

The whole band was on Nightline last night...it's pretty clear that things aren't totally mended between Keith and Mick when you hear them talk about each other.

They've been like that for a while, but they put the differences aside like most siblings do.

Wonder how Keith's taking to this news about the school shooting happening close to home, it's 15-20 miles from where he lives.
