The show took place amid thunderstorm alerts, but the weather was calm as we trooped into the Alltel Arena. I was fortunate to sit next to an excited 22-year-old lap-dancer who had driven eight hours from Kansas, and I knew there was no way the show could suck. Country legend Merle Haggard got things off to a great start, and Mick thanked him before dusting off “Dead Flowers,” the first of two consecutive songs on which he played guitar (followed by the welcome return of “Back of My Hand”).
Mick did not say much during the show, apart from noting the 12-year absence, and sardonically commenting, “You haven’t changed a bit. You look fantastic.” The crowd, indeed, was more rowdy than the Los Angeles people on Monday, not needing much incentive to sing along with such tunes as “Brown Sugar” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
This was the 37th and last show I saw on the Americas leg of the “Bigger Bang” tour, and I’m glad that “Satisfaction” finally sounds like it should. Keith is brandishing a white guitar that Ronnie plays in some earlier tunes, and the song packs a lot more heft.
