Hartford was for 1 night the Rock n Roll capital in the world.Rolling Stones played at the Rentschler Field on the 26th of August2005 during their A Bigger Bang tour. A friday night with perfectweather and a show with amazing sound and a band that were full ofenergy. Keith was sprinkling his magic on each song and Micksounded and moved agelessly. Ruby Tuesday was one of the greatsurprises as it only appears at a few shows per tour and the crowdsang along. The Stones made it more clear that they were mixing upthe set tonight, when we got another welcome surprise with All DownThe Line, Ron and Micks guitars interlocking, horns blaring,Charlie smiling. It seemed like a song of celebration that theStones were back on the road, sounding better than ever, takingmore chances, and seeing to it that each show will be a uniqueexperience. The highlight of the night was Get Up Stand Up, a BobMarley tribute replacing the Ray Charles tribute of the Bostonshows. Here Keiths backup vocals were strong, the reggae soundperfect, with guitars and drums in machine like rhythm, allowingfor Mick to scowl and let it all hang out, being greatly versatilein his singing, displaying contrast to the rock and roll or balladswe are used to. The back up singers blended in on the refrains,drawing in the crowd, as the tremendous Bigger Bang stage lookedbetter than ever, lit in the green, yellow, and red colors of theRastafarian flag. Lisa Fischer and Bernard roamed around stage,making the Stones seem 100% like a reggae band in sound and lookwith the number of people moving about stage to the beat. To endthe song, Mick had the crowd take over on vocals, the band quiet,leading to a big finish with the band kicking back in for a finalverse. It was one of the better moments so far of the tour. Mickintroduced Keith as Local boy made good, in reference to KeithsConnecticut residence, a theme also used in 1999 at the HartfordCivic Center when Keith called him self a homeboy. It was again funto see the crowd take Keith as one of their own, recognizing thisas a homecoming as much as if not more than a return to England.For his set, Infamy was played first (this song is getting betterand better), which sparked anticipation of what would follow(thinking maybe a more up tempo song?). It was a bit strange tothen get The Worst, so the two songs of the Boston sets were simplytransposed. While this still worked, the switch did not make for animprovement in the set flow. The shows final run were made of justclassic Stones songs. Sympathy For the Devil takes completeadvantage of the stage, with Mick using the walkway over the rearof the stage, giant red snakeskin patterns rapidly flashing on thebig screen, and periodic bursts of flame from the stage top thatthrow an amazing amount of heat and light throughout the stadium.While Mick got a late start on the vocals in Jumping Jack Flash,awkwardly jamming the first line into a few seconds, by then itreally did not take away from the show. A few miscues, a littleunevenness are small price to pay for all the variety in musicalstyles and spectacular set list changes which makes us curious asto what the next song will be, or what the next show will include.So before we can complain that Back of My Hand was not playedtonight, we are busy replaying in our minds how Get Up Stand Uptransformed Connecticut into Jamaica for several minutes, or what arush it was to see and hear Ruby Tuesday and All Down the Lineagain. Sometimes people ask, How can you go to all those shows,arent they the same? perhaps thinking of ballet, opera, orrehearsed precision required by less talented musicians. Tonightwas the perfect answer to that question, showing that a RollingStones show is not a disciplined repetitive tribute to 40+ years ofrock n roll, but a fluid, unpredictable blast that draws itslarger-than-rock n roll spirit from many styles, sources, and sheercourage for entertainment adventure. So you just need to go and seethis band if possible. Not because "it could be the last time". Notbecause you want to see if guys this age can still bring it. Go seethese guys because they rock.
