Yeah, it was a wicked nite ... rain kinda threatened but never
really entrenched itself. Three towering video screens covering the back of
the stage captured every pulse of the bands collective heartbeat ...
 |
| Started Up |
Jagger the focal point really, flicking his hips 'n pouting
his lips to every funky snare drum shimmer from that metronomic master of
rhythm Mr Watts, 'n Charlie's partner in crime on thumping/pumping bass guitar,
Darryl Jones. Oh yeah … Ronnie 'Faces' Wood resplendent in body hugging red
leather jacket, just keeping it all so tight and funky for his mate Keef to
take centre stage and carve it all up.
Lisa Fischer on backing vocals was a real highlight ... Soul
Sista #1 in the house all nite long, just adding that groove to every song ...
a cameo appearance from Mick Taylor on 'Midnight Rambler', an extended blues
workout that incorporated part of their famous cover of Muddy Waters 'I'm A
Man'.
The NZ National Youth Choir on 'You Can't Always Get What
You Want' was another highlight, which I thought was a nice touch from the
band, then 'Miss You' turned into an extended disco/funk workout … man, I was in
7th heaven when that happened.
Way too much fun for one night really and yep, I'd do it all
again at the shake of a phunky tail feather ...!!!!!
