Eternal is the blues, ageless rock: The Stones in Stuttgart – Rock & Pop

They are back. No, always. Only older. With the same songs – older – beginning with the blues-rock title "Street Fighting Man", with which they protested half a century ago against the Vietnam War and now open his concert in the Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart Arena. One could even consider the song politically updated by the musician as a forbidden street fighter, who can only call for a palace revolt from the scene. If they had not kept it as reliable on the fixed list for years. So it's a kind of selfie of the Rolling Stones, business card of their self-staging

Of course, the next issue, the Mick Jagger – brightly colored jacket, skimpy black jeans – is all the rage on the scene, Rock 's body and voice' n 'Roll (But I love it)' '. It was in 1974, when the "Glimmer Twins" Mick Jagger and Keith Richards produced the "Glimmer Twins". album, not "simply" Rock 'n' Roll, but vaguely ironic expression of a commercial Kalkls – although, of course, it was not yet clear that this group The legend would become and the icon of the stadium rock.Furthermore, it is exactly there that Germany began: In June 1976, as it was the case at the time , the Stones played for the first time a rock band in a football arena Neckarstadion.The entry would have cost 20 marks – this time it was 350 to 800 euros …

The hit -parade is never empty abgegeludelt

And yet the stage is complete, what should we think of greed? , we do not know how long they are still there, the heroes: Mick Jagger turns 75 on July 26, Keith Richards is 74 years old, Ron Wood is 71 years old, Charlie Watts is 77 years old. And if it was their last gig, it was At least one at the same time. That's what younger people want: most in the stadium could be Jagger's children, many even his grandchildren. It's a particularly timeless evening, even though the wrinkled face and the frowning faces that ruthlessly portray the four bas-reliefs of a high sky speak a different language. While the heat of the summer day slowly gives way to a friendly sweetness, the Stones and their fearsome companions heat up with ever more raging energy.

The arena goes with, the retired teacher and the girl on the shoulders of her boyfriend. "Let's spend the night together", the desired title of the public, sings thousands of throats. This will remain so until the finale with "Satisfaction", no surprise, since each Stones concert is a hit-parade of infallible numbers: "Honky Tonk Women", "You can not always get what you want "," Jumpin 'Jack Flash "," Gimme Shelter "and and and. Your stadium, Jagger jokes in German, always has new names, but our songs are always the same. A new album is on the list, "Ride" Em On Down "from their latest album" Blues and Lonesome "(2016) – but it's a cover of Jimmy Reed's clbadic blues clbadic in 1955.

A Rolling Stone Does not Put Foam an

Eternal is the blues, timeless rock. And of course, Stones can use the clbadics. You are one of them for a long time now. For whom would Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone", the second cover of the evening, be better than his? A rolling stone, says the English proverb, does not use foam. Seems to be the motto of the never-ending tour of the world's most useful boys group. Of course, Watts drums the drums with an almost smiling smile and presses his lips to his teeth. Yes, Richards mates in both mandatory numbers as leads to one-time entries, making "You Got The Silver" but all the more intriguing. Okay, Wood seems to be in the old gentleman's wars just like the baby because he's holding it.

Sir Mick, however, does not seem to have been mocked by a moss: an organ whose metal organ still beats every wild gesticulating guitar, really arrogant poser whose haunting does not make any sense. is still not embarrbading, an entertainer in the change of flying outfits – red, pink, glitter and black. On the 26-meter-long stage deck, which licks like a tongue in the audience, it rocks n rolled between the Fankrper. And the harder the evening, the more the frontman seems to fill with spas and vitality

The show is as simple as it is strong

It is the phenomenon of this concert in the first place: the Stones never nibble their hits in one second down. Backed by a visual show as simple as strong historical clichés, collages, monochrome bangers and gentle psychedelic swirls – the post-pubertrenz pussies from their first shows like giant inflatable jets have long left the British -, a lot of a song becomes a session, an event. Black-and-white images on "Paint it Black", Hellfire on "Sympathy For The Devil", neon women's faces Warhol on pop rock act "Miss You", which is driven at high energy nine minutes. The "Midnight Rambler" even arrives on twelve, a highlight of the evening, with beautiful solos, like lush bbadist Darryl Jones, and with orgiastic color flares on the LED walls.

In the end, if the Stones for something more than After two hours of breathlessness, greeting the exhausted public, they seem to derive a great blow of satisfaction from Stuttgart, their station between Marseille and the final round in Warsaw. Fans do it definitely.
