The Rolling Stones Invade the Northwest

Here's a mini-review from Stephen A.:

11/6/02... Hasn't rained in several weeks, and it rained last night and will continue to do so for the next several days... last night the World's greatest rock and roll band flew into Tacoma on a whirlwind of memories and fans from 15 to 60. Oddly enough, I went with my ex-wife. You can say anything you like about them, hate them if you wanna, I don't really care. You put any of your favourites out there for 40 years and see how you go. The band is sounding good these days, Ronnie Wood on guitar, playing as well as ever. Looking good since he quit drinking last year... Mick, well, if I had a body like his at 58, I'd be doing what he does too. He is the textbook lead singer. Afterall, women all over the world just wanna fuck a rock star, and he is the epitomy of a womanizing rockstar as there is. "Keef" Richards, well, most of what you hear about him is true. He is the epitomy of rock and roll, lots of imitators but, he is the real thing... Darryl Jones is a very fine replacement for Bill Wyman, (another world class womanizer Bill, not Darryl), but, the MAN that we always cheer the loudest for is the cat on the drums, the one and only CHARLIE WATTS!!!!! Can they still rock? You better belive it boys and girls, and if you dont want to, well, you werent there. These guys have been around for four decades and they still can do it better than anyone, with the possible exception of Tool, but, they havent been doing it 40 yrs. (That Danny Carey is a hell of a drummer). So to sum up: can the Stones still bring it? Yes. Should you go see them? If you want to or like them, defffinitly. If not, don't bother. My ex-wife and I will buy your tickets from you... it's only rock and roll, but I like it like it, yes I do.
