While many were really into the Dylan song, the effect did not reach the upper level as people sat, perhaps confused that the band was playing their namesake song even though they did not write it. The small stage had an especially spirited version of Manish Boy, followed by Like a Rolling Stone. It would be nice to see that animation as a new techno-era treasure on the Stones' official website (hopefully downloadable), so we don't have to choose between the band playing the great song or the video during performance. It was great to see the band work through the song, though I am always so damn distracted by that great and sexy animation they show during it. For Honky Tonk Women, Chuck Leavell's piano really stood out, complete with the Jerry Lee Lewis foot tap to end his solo. This enabled us fans on that side to get a full view of Keith's raucous guitar solo during the song, one of the high points of the show. For Satisfaction, Keith hung out stage left sharing a mike with Blondie for vocals. It was kind of strange to see the outline of the Stones trademark tongue in fire during Satisfaction, especially because that effect on the big screen had only been used during Sympathy for the Devil before. Keith better be careful as his country song harmonies are of such high quality that soon Shania Twain or Faith Hill will be asking him to add a vocal track to their next effort.Īfter Keith's set, the Stones teased before going to the small stage with Midnight Rambler, Start Me Up, Satisfaction, and Honky Tonk Women. An underrated gem here is Keith's backup harmony vocals, which really rounded out the choruses with a soulful country feel. The main treat of the night was Dead Flowers, with Ronnie's guitar sounding better than ever on this song. Sticky Fingers was the declared theme for the show, with Wild Horses, Bitch, and a sloppy but likable version of Can't You Hear Me Knockin' among the songs. Indeed it was a Texas-themed night, with Mick wearing a cowboy hat on several occasions. "Bobby Keyes never lets me forget how dear Texas is." is the way Keith Richards summed up the evening at the SBC Center (SBC stands for Southwestern Bell Corporation - we finally found one out of the many gun totin' Texas lawmen outside the venue who actually knew!).
