Simply an AWESOME SHOW!

REVIEW: Rolling Stones hit Portland
By MARTY HUGHLEY
The Oregonian

The Rolling Stones, the only group with both the chutzpah and the track record to use the phrase "world's greatest rock 'n' roll band" as part of its brand identity, played to a packed Rose Garden arena on Tuesday night.

And as you might've expected, the energetic two-hour set was dominated by the Stones' still staggering catalog of classics from the 1960s and '70s: "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll," "Tumbling Dice," "Miss You," "Honky Tonk Women," "Sympathy for the Devil," "Brown Sugar," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Jumpin' Jack Flash."

And yet, it was a line from "Rough Justice," one of three songs of the night culled from the recent Stones album "A Bigger Bang," that seemed to sum up what the evening was all about:

"I know you still got that animal attraction for me/It's been a long, long time."

It's been a long time indeed, a solid 40 years since "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" became the band's first No. 1 single in America. And to judge by the dancing, the screaming, the involuntary excitement in the face of Mick Jagger's cock-of-the-walk charisma, the reverence in the presence of that paragon of cool, Keith Richards - oh, and let's not forget tickets priced at up to $350, plus "service charges" - it would appear that the attraction remains very strong.

As well it should.

You can argue about whether or not the Stones still are important to the larger cultural conversation. But when they can put on a show packed with as many unassailably great tunes and played with as much grit and joie de vivre as Tuesday's show, there is no way you can claim they're old and in the way.

One thing about getting older: Now as always, there's a lot of it going around. If you haven't learned that already from your mirror or your knees, you could tell from a glance around the arena concourse after (or during) the warm-up set by the unspeakably awful Mötley Crue (about whose performance the less described, the better - though it's worth noting that the band's guitarist, 49-year-old Mick Mars, looks much more cadaverous than the weathered but unreasonably caricatured Richards.)

But there's little as good for the spirit as the chance to witness an age-defying rock 'n' roll hero, and the greatest of all was on hand Tuesday.

Not Jagger - though his voice remains strong, he's still boyishly thin and he still preens, prances, shimmies and twitches, like a runway model struck by a downed power line. Not Richards - though his ragged-but-right riffage and epigrammatic solos showed yet again why he's been a more-important guitar stylist than most of his flashier counterparts. No, we mean drummer Charlie Watts.

That's right, folks, address whatever force you hold most high, and give thanks for Charlie Watts. At 64, he's the band's elder statesman, and he battled throat cancer last year. But he's as remarkable as ever. His playing Tuesday was so crisp, so tight, always propulsive, yet admirably economical. Watts is the band's engine, Richards says (which must mean Keef is the drive shaft).

The core trio of founding members had a great support staff: second-guitarist/junior-partner Ron Wood and nine other musicians including longtime cohorts bassist Darryl Jones, pianist Chuck Leavell and saxophonist Bobby Keys. The whole package came together best in an absolutely thrilling cover of Ray Charles' "(Night Time Is) The Right Time," with Watts and Jones locking in fiercely on the groove, while Jagger shared vocals with powerhouse soul singer Lisa Fischer.

You could say that the right time for the Rolling Stones still is now.

One of the best songs was Ray Charles' "Night Time (Is the Right Time)". Mick sang it with a black chick who was one of the backup singers. Kicked Ass!

The Rolling Stones kicked the best looking person out of the band. Talk about collective hatred towards the more beautiful band members.
