Rolling Stones at Oracle Arena | Oakland, California | 5/5/2013 (Concert Review)

May 6, 2013 by Jason DeBord 3 Comments

Rolling-Stones-50-And-Counting-Tour-Concert-Review-Oakland-Oracle-Arena-May-5-2013-85-Tickets-FIa

69… 69… 71… 65…  Years old, respectively.  Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ronnie Wood.  The Rolling Stones.  Synonymous with rock and roll.  They rocked Oracle Arena in Oakland, California last night for two and a half hours.  There were more people than seats (more on that later) and (mostly, well initially) very expensive seats at that (and more on that later too), but it was a remarkable night to witness one of the most (and last standing) legendary rock bands of all time plow through 23 songs.  Sure, some will point out some occasional sloppiness, but I always heard a bit of that in their studio recordings.  It’s the Rolling Stones.  They more than make up for some lack of precision and complexity with enthusiasm, and Mick Jagger has moves like, well, him.  He possessed fans in the audience of all ages who mimicked his moves with pure glee.  And really, any time Keith Richards did much of anything, the two 52-year old women sitting to my right could barely contain themselves.  I quizzed them about this deep into the set, between songs, and one of them said, “the fact that he’s still alive and standing there is nothing short of a miracle”.   Some miracles are self evident, and others are in the eye of the beholder.  I think one’s take on the show last night is likely more about and reflective of each person as much as it is the show itself.  Each person’s connection with the Stones and what they mean to him or her.  Given the reactions from the crowd, I would guess a majority found it nothing short of miraculous, and certainly unforgettable.
