First Warmup : 6:20pm - 7:10pm Second Warmup : 7:40pm - 8:40pm Rolling Stones : 9:50pm - 11:50pm
This was the rainy gig!The rain actually got heavier throughout the evening,yet strangely stopped once the guys had left the stage.
On arrival at the River Plate Stadium there was a tension in the air.The rain was heavy and the taxi driver is telling me to be careful.There are hordes of youths jostling the crowd who are entering.Police with riot shields and batons stand by.This is the Street fighting man gig ,but we do not get the song.On approaching the stadium I feel uneasy.People are having their tickets snatched ,and I am glad to get into the stadium safely.
The Stones delay their entrance by 30 minutes,and its around 10 pm when they arrive on stage belting out Jumping Jack Flash.And" I cried at my ma in the driving rain "takes on a whole new meaning.Mick is in raincoat and hat and moves around the stage extra carefully.Keef is wearing a hat too,and Ronnie seems to be oblivious to it.And Charlie is sheltered away,but produces an umbrella during his intro and at the final bow.Quite comical.
The audience are still wild but its not as wild as the previous night.The rain never stops.Keef appears to be eager to get home,and even hurries Mick along and says "I could stand and talk for hours but it's raining and I have a show to do."
The rain actually gets hevier throughout the show.It's torrential rain,but the Stones don't let this detract from their performance or willingness to please.The audience don't care about the rain .The vibe in the stadium is good,a total contrast to the one outside. And the highlights for me has to be Start me up,the whole field are jumping up and down going crazy.Get off my cloud on the B stage was a true delight.
They play miss you as the stage moves to the centre.It appears to get stuck,and the band are quite cool about it.Mick changes the lyrics to Argentinian girls are dying to meet you. Lisa does a great vocal on Gimme Shelter,and the crowd sing along to Angie.Nice to hear Bitch and Shes so cold too.
At the encore we get Mick all alone in the torrential rain singing YCAGWUW.Amazing. The final number is Satisfaction.The Glimmer twins are ignoring the heavy downpour and take the show up a gear.Mick is in his open shirt driving the fans crazy.
And the song for tonight of course Rain fall down.Funky and jazzy.Well done Daryl. Another great gig at the River Plate.Outside the stadium the tension is back.There are battles between youths and Police.But the true Street fighting men were long gone.Thanks guys.See you in Europe.
The band was very in was on FIRE!!!!!!, Mick seems to be happy and he talked to the people a lot of time, asking if they were feeling good in spanish: "La est�n pasando bien?", or "Tirenlen la ropa a Ronnie", he also asked about the rain: "Se mojaron mucho?"
It was a basic setlist, i think the first show had a better setlist than this but i think it was ok, because people knew almost all songs.
You Got Me Rocking was very very welcome by the crowd, they sang with Mick every word of the song.
Oh No Not You Again: The new album had very good reception here because people sang this song and danced with Mick.
Shes So Cold: Mmm i dont like this song too much but it has a lot of power live, and i think it works very well and people seems to love it.
Angie: Keith has played the intro very bad we didnt know witch song was until Mick started to sing "Angie...."
Rain Fall Down: Maybe the best song of the new album, IT WORK SO GREAT LIVE, people love it!!!!!!!, it sounds beautifull.
Gimme Shelter was so great, with Lisa singing with Mick it was perfect, i cried all the song, i couldnt believe it, i just love Gimme Shelter, and it is perfect live.
Keith in his set was ok, it was the same, he played the same songs both shows but i think he was better on tuesday show, on thurday show his voice was not good.
People love warhorses, Miss You, Start Me Up, Symphaty, Brown Sugar and You Cant Always...
Satisfaction was SO SO SO SO AWESOME!!!, THE CROWD GONE WILD!!!!!, it was amazing, i had never seen anything like that!!!, it was incredible.
I have no words for this show, i will never forget, thank you stones for coming back, i hope to see you again!!!!!
De todas formas, el concierto fue incre�ble. La ceremonia comenz� (al igual que el martes pasado) con "Jumping Jack Flash e "It`s only rock and roll", pero en la tercera canci�n se produjo la primera variaci�n en la lista de temas: "Shattered" fue reemplazado por la muy efectiva "You got me rocking", la �nica canci�n de los '90 hecha por la banda en los dos recitales argentinos. Un dato significativo: revela que la banda sabe muy bien que sus p�ginas de gloria (en lo que a discos de estudio se refiere) no fueron escritas en la d�cada anterior.
A "Oh no, not you again" le siguieron dos maravillosas sorpresas ausentes el d�a del debut: "She's so cold" y "Angie". La primera fue bailada y coreada por todo el estadio y la segunda seguida con devoci�n mientras el p�blico iluminaba el estadio con sus encendedores. A continuaci�n, "Rain fall down" un tema m�s que apropiado para la jornada, la lluvia ca�a sin parar y Mick repet�a ese estribillo ("and the rain fall down...") que todos sent�an en su piel. Luego, los Stones arremetieron con uno de los temas m�s calientes de la noche: "Bitch", una versi�n alucinante con Jagger contorsionando su cuerpo y la banda - y la secci�n de vientos - sonando en forma ajustada.
"Tumbling Dice" volvi� a hacer vibrar al estadio y "Gimme shelter" (otro momento supremo de la noche) permiti� el lucimiento de la corista Lisa Fischer, su voz poderosa y su imagen sensual arranc� merecidos aplausos El set de Richards fue similar al del concierto anterior con "This place is empty" y "Happy". El desempe�o vocal de Keith fue mejor en esta oportunidad, aunque hubiera sido interesante que variara alguno de los dos temas por joyas como por ejemplo, "Before they make me run" que s� toc� con los Winos en el Estadio de Velez Sarfield, en noviembre de 1992.
Cuando sonaron los primeros acordes de "Miss you" todo el estadio se convirti� en una gran disco, mientras una parte del escenario depositaba a los m�sicos en el centro de la cancha. Una vez all� el rock and roll sigui� con "Rough justice" (Mick cantaba y al mismo tiempo devolv�a al p�blico las remeras que �ste tiraba en se�al de tributo) y con la joya de la noche: "Get off of my cloud", en una versi�n que al principio cost� reconocer debido a un nuevo arreglo de guitarra pero que luego fue cantada y saltada por la multitud.
La banda volvi� al escenario principal al ritmo de "Honky Tonk Women", una vez all� la m�quina rockera no par� gracias a una seguidilla de hits fulminantes: "Sympathy for the devil", "Start me up" (en la que Jagger se equivoc� empezando a cantar el estribillo de la canci�n antes de tiempo, pero bueno as� es el rock and roll a veces !!!) y "Brown sugar". El final formal del concierto se hab�a producido, pero apenas unos segundos despu�s la banda volvi� para los bises de rigor: "You can't always get what you want" y "Satisfaction" que dejaron al p�blico feliz y con la certeza de haber formado parte de un momento hist�rico.
Los Stones pasaron por Argentina, la tercera visita de la banda dej� a todos los que presenciaron sus conciertos la sensaci�n de que si esta vez fue la �ltima (con �stos chicos nunca se sabe) la despedida ha sido hermosa.
Long live for The Rolling Stones !.
