I can't stop watching that "Commit A Crime"... it is a long time since I've heard that kind of old riff rock blues sounding so good. Jagger and Beck are perfect partners in crime. The edge in Jag's voice, the meanness in Jeff's guitar. I think no any British singer or guitar player of that generation could suited better there than those two. Both of them as strong as ever, defying the age. Can't think anyone else doing that thing better now (2012). Jagger is actually cool. He has left all the aerobics, finger pointings and other embarassing peter pan trademarks out, and just concentrates on the delivery, moves naturally to music while communicates wonderfully with Beck. Simply stunning. Edgy and mean stuff, indeed.

Doxa, you really think Mick's voice sounded " thin" and he looked like he was about to collapse? I remember thinking that his voice never sounded better, and it appears others here feel the same way. " Commit A Crime" was over the top...maybe it will be released as a " single"...New hit for Jagger....duet with Jeff Beck climbs up the charts! Cool! I need to watch the entire show again..I do recall Mick looking like a caged tiger, waiting in the audience for the techies to get a new guitar for Buddy Guy after be broke a string, towards the end of the show....not nervous?? Oh, contraire!
Sorry, I won't rise to the bait, won't respond to political comments because this SHOULD BE about Mick and his big night.

Funny how things change, 236 years ago Washington and the Americans were being chased across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania by the British. Now, Washington in portrait, stares down in comfort at British and American musicians playing music together in the house of the American President.
Anyways, I thought Jagger was singing quite well, after an over the top opening "Can't Turn Me Loose." All that showesy annoying pointing and jabbing just made me cringe. The banter after the song was a sort of uncomfortable moment because Jagger is out of element with an attentive audience that is not cheering and yelling. I think that by the time Buddy Guy came out he was much more relaxed and in control.
Happy 280th Birthday George Washington!
Absolutely agree on degree of relaxation, improving after the first number.
I mean, I love Mick being Mick, but that was almost an impression of Jimmy Fallon doing him.
Different kind of audience for sure.

He was playing to a small audience of stiffs who remained stiff till the Jagger master made some magic happen.
That was as intense and hard a crowd to play to as you are ever likley to get, hence, IMO, the high levels of nerves. Mick was the main attraction and he delivered the goods.
All these little mistakes and stuff, it's part of what makes live music so compelling. Seeing and hearing how people work their way around things as it happens, no hiding, pure talent verses the potential big public fall that is ever present when music is purely live.
The live broadcast was odd, but fascinating... I'm glad I saw it, warts and all.

I do not like Michelle Obama at all here. Do not know why
She seemed a little 'detached' during MJ's performance didn't she?
Maybe it's just an unfortunate expression but to me she looks like she's thinking...."What the f uck are you lowlifes doing in my house and when are you going to f uck off ?
exactly, point on!
or even......................

It is kind of an odd expression but as someone else said, the video can take a funny picture. Everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt once in their life so I'll give her it on this. What I do find more interesting in this picture is the expression on everyone else's face. Pure enjoyment! I wouldn't be surprised if the Whitehouse has a few new Jagger fanatics after that show. Mick was awesome. He sounded great and I loved his choice of clothing...his jacket is killer!
As I said earlier in the thread as a response to Sweetbutnotthesharpesttoolintheboxlife's critical post above, my post was a joke,(esp. the 'or even' bit)... or maybe me 'tourettes' ...can't make me mind up......I'll have to remember some people were short changed on the IQ and humour rations.....would be a good photo for a caption thread..............sorry to hijack your post but my earlier response got left behind and so the context lost..(wouldn't want to get lambasted again for no good reason)...........yep, Mick's always had great taste even when being tasteless.........('81/'82 imo)
