Stones lounge aroi
LUPE EYDE Carolina! Editor
If you like the Stones, and you didn't go, you're
probably sick of everyone talking about Sunday's
Rolling Stones concert at Williams-Brice Stadium. ? m
With fireworks heard all the way to Aiken, even
those that didn't attend have something to talk
about, which is exactly what the Stones intended.
The Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge show is the "
tour to end all tours--a spectacular show of lights, Hif y ,
video, music and audience participation that more Hi /
than makes up for the once in a decade appearance Hf Jt /
the band puts in. Young and old (and I do mean old)
rocked with Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ron to a va- HjmL
riety of songs spanning their long list of hits, from
"Jumping Jack Flash" to Voodoo Lounge's "Love Is
Strong."
It's hard to review the concert of a band as legendary
as the Stones. The mere fact I was within
50 feet of Mick Jagger is enough to send me gushing.
However, the music sounded great. Anyone
who says Keith Richard's playing has gotten worse
is just jealous, and Mick can still belt out those
tunes. Although I haven't heard anything off the
new album I could recognize (during those parts of
the show I drunk in the visuals instead), the boys
had their act down.
I guess one thing that upset me (for about five c*V*r,j? Watts> Ml'
seconds) was that they didn't play many of their their new alb
older hits. Being that their trademark "Sympathy
for the Devil" is one of my favorite songs, you'd think cially if.
