My first Stones gig after a lifetime as a fan .... reviewed for The Arts Desk. A great, raw, louder than war performance. Hope you enjoy the read.

Excellent review - thanks!

Loved these lines:

"they remain the first and last word when it comes to rock 'n' roll and its founding spirit of self-liberation"

"teetering on the brink of chaos, but always pulling in and pulling it together"

"but what’s torn and frayed is overarched by a cool, casual raggedness and precision that no other player possesses"

Fantastic review, sir! Also, "louder than war" - I absolutely love that.

A great review that also sums up my own feelings on the show perfectly.
