Notes d'accompagnement originales de Gone With The Rolling Stones: |
Among all the masters the great taper -and Rockin' Rott label's headman- Charlie did make one did shine with a special light and deserved to be released: Atlanta 2005; the recording is superb, the show is great, and for whatever reason it was not published -as a lot of his others masters were- by Vinyl Gang / Dog & Cats. The bands energy was in top form! You can't believe they get THAT fired up and excited for every show, none the less The Rolling Stones certainly were for this Atlanta show. Atlanta is the city of CNN, Coca-Cola, Gone With The Wind, and from the cutting, crunching opening slashings of Start Me Up they kicked ass and took no prisoners! Guitars were mixed high and the punch that a great Rolling Stones show needs was there. Compared with previous tours they made little use of the horn section or backup singers -to go with the spirit of the album-, and the crunching guitar-led sound reminded of the '78 and '94 tours. Keef & Ronnie were in the zone and they once again proved that they rightfully hold the title of World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band. After the rocking You Got Me Rocking, and Live With Me, a soulful version of Tumbling Dice warmed the mood for Wild Horses, which gave us Keith on a 12 string acoustic with such a sharp and great sound you could wish for this amazing sound in every venue through the tour; a beautiful song and a great version tonight, plus Ronnie did his job as well of course. The highlight of the night was Rain Fall Down, another great new song played live. Mick's guitar was key to the song -as he played the fast part that can be considered the song's signature sound-, a classic Stones number that moves in and out of a dance beat -seeming at times blues- with Mick rapping the brilliant dark lyrics. A nice feature in the song was Daryl's prominent bass part -the first since Stray Cat Blues on the Licks tour-, kinda funky, kind of Miss You touch to it. A great example of how and why this band has so much energy and is still so excellent. After this song, Bitch was unexpected but much appreciated: it made people dance and sing again. As they were in Georgia, Mick said they would pay homage by playing Otis Redding's Mr. Pitiful -they showed a huge portrait of Otis Redding behind the stage for this one-, the crowd loved it -and it looked as if the Stones loved it even more- and if some had been sitting down before this song, they were all dancing in the isles by now. During the band introduction Jagger introduced keyboardist Chuck Leavell -a Georgia native- as Macon's own: he got a huge reception -one of the biggest single ovations of the night- and Mick even let him come to the front for a few bows. This was clearly Chuck's night to shine. Richards, at the onset of leading a mini-set, actually seemed to say that it was good to be home but then muttered something about It’s as good as anywhere, and continued OK, Dixie, this is called The Worst, and he proceeded to "beautifully" croon... others might say his voice on The Worst was THE WORST! It soon recovered for a great Infamy: that is the charm of Keith... would you want it any other way? Hands down, the coolest thing was during Miss You when the stage lifted up and carted them all to the middle of the floor to the mini stage. Words do not illustrate how neat that was and how awesome that looked. Even if you were in the back, it brought you right up to the front for a few songs. And when they started Honky Tonk Women -one of the best songs of the night- as it went back to the main stage, it felt just like you were seeing them do one of those flatbed trailer shows from years ago. In between Miss You and Honky Tonk Women, you could check Mick still have a board up with words to Oh No, Not You Again but he don't use it anymore, how could he? He is all over the stage throughout the song. Great set and great hot version of Get Off Of My Cloud that brought the house down! Magic! Paint It Black was magic too, with lots of fun and energy, almost apocalyptic, and Wood tore it up on that electric-guitar-sitar-thing he played. Jumping Jack Flash was the strongest song of the entire show, a highlight that rocks hard, and the faster version they did of Brown Sugar is better too. So seemingly before we could take it all in, the colorful streamers exploded onto the floor at the end of Satisfaction to close the show. This provided the additional cool effect of a few streamers hanging off Keith's guitar neck as he finished the song, and meanwhile Mick trully "lost it" singing and dancing fiercely. From the old favorites to the underappreciated classics, it is hard to find a flaw in this show. Atlanta was a gracious host, providing an enthusiastic crowd. The Rolling Stones not only provided the affectionate familiarity many fans come to see, they also prodded, poked, and pushed the envelope with enough innovation to make this show tremendously interesting to those who have seen multiple performances on the A Bigger Bang tour. All in all A FANTASTIC EVENING! A f#cking great show and the bands on fire! Gone With The Rolling Stones is dedicated to Charlie Rockin' Rott and Mario Dog & Cats, without whom this release would not have been possible. |
