Experience the Timeless Magic of an Age-Defying Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus!
Watching Mick Jagger perform live at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale was like witnessing a spectacle of age-defying essence. Jagger, at the age of 80, brought a level of command and energy that left the audience in awe. His performance was a testament to the agility, athleticism, and grace that he possesses on stage.
Accompanied by the Rolling Stones, Jagger exuded a raw and reckless abandon that has always been characteristic of the band’s rock ‘n’ roll aesthetic. The guitars, played by Richards and Wood, churned out raunchy sounds that encapsulated the essence of rock ‘n’ roll. The entire band, including Jordan and Jones, highlighted their powerhouse rhythm section that was evident throughout the performance.
The touring band members showcased their versatility as they navigated through a variety of musical aesthetics, from classic groove to disco moves, and soulful rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Their recent album, “Hackney Diamonds,” marked a return to original material after nearly 20 years and was a highlight of the setlist.
Jagger’s vocal performance was exceptional, with standout moments in songs like “Sweet Sounds of Heaven” and “Gimme Shelter.” The setlist was filled with iconic hits like “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Miss You,” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” that solidified the Rolling Stones’ reputation as the world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band.
The concert was not only a showcase of musical prowess but also a celebration of the band’s history and connection with the city of Glendale. Jagger reminisced about past shows in Arizona, including the infamous Sun Devil Stadium incident, and interacted with the audience in a playful manner.
Before the Rolling Stones took the stage, opening acts Electric Mud and Carin Leon set the tone for the evening with their distinct performances. Electric Mud channeled early ’70s Rolling Stones vibes, while Carin Leon brought his regional Mexican music flavor to the stage.
Overall, the Rolling Stones concert in Phoenix was a mesmerizing experience that combined nostalgia, raw energy, and timeless music. The band’s performance, led by the ageless Mick Jagger, proved once again why they are considered one of the greatest rock bands in the world.
