Turd On The Run
Kind of a mess. Jagger looks fit, but he's still in that mode from Shine A Light, where he mistakes frantic, kinetic movement for intensity of performance. It is as if proving that he is ageless is the point of his performance...and this has become self-parody.

-5, does that bring us back to even? I saw about thirty seconds of it, which was enough. It was exactly what I thought it would be. Mick's tired histrionics thrown on top of a dull, slick, American Idol-type production. How can you people buy into him still. I just don't get it.

what a thread! just reading through I kinda agree with these very-much-in-the- minority guys in that mick's schtick the last decades has increasingly meant that histrionics and frantic constant movement means 'being mick jagger' and his actual singing takes a very secondary role. the song at the grammys was a no-brainer with 3 lines total. so it allowed him to typically over-emote and flail about and strut his 'mick jagger schtick' without any danger to the song itself, and the bored jaded crowd dug it but I hoped that he would go for something less obvious and do something more challenging and go deeper. did mick want to do homage to burke or to himself doing burke? does mick narcissistically want his audience to constantly marvel at how 'fit' and 'energetic' he is as he runs around maniacally trying to sing and run and cheerlead at the same time, or does he want them to appreciate his growth and depth as an artist and singer and show his appreciation for the great burke by digging deeper? the answer at the grammys was obvious and that means that he is in fantastic shape to tour but if us fans expect anything different at all from the last vegas-style tours we are in for a disappointment.

if this type of hyper-analyzing is going to occur after each concert of their supposed tour, then man oh man, there will be plenty of threads on this board that i won't be opening.

Almost. Big budget for the Hollywood crowd though.
With the Stones, Mick economizes...
One backing vocalists plays one of the rhythm guitars, another the percussion,
the horns are limited to around 2.

Um, I've heard of her. She's immensely talented.

spot-on post. i also thought it wasn't much of a tribute to solomon in that sense. reaaaaaallly was hoping it would be "if you need me," sung with conviction...the way burke himself used to do....

The performance is pure Jagger, he's pretty much doing what he's always done. I thought it was great, it was him being the Mick Jagger the world has always known, and doing what Mick Jagger does best. I imagine the good reverend would be looking down fondly and nodding his head with 100 percent approval. Ten out of ten Sir Mick.
+1
I Agree Beast +1 from you, +1 from Paul, +1 from me...., so so far we have +5 !!! (so let's round up even more !!! ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT !!) ") (the Math Genius)

Because he still delivers. Don't worry about not getting it, just leave it to those of us that do. It would seem there's still a few of us lurking here n' thar !!
Loadsa thangs I 'don't get' ... jazz, jazz fusion, rap, the Sex Pistols, how the f**k Queen Elton and Lady Furnish have ended up with a baby ... ?? Each to theirs I guess ??

Well, After that performance I don't think we'll be hearing the Geritol and Dinosaours jokes for a while.
