Review Jagger and crew sum up classic rock: by JOHN WILLIAMSON, The Herald THERE are many intriguing aspects of a Rolling Stones concert in 2003, not least the relationship of the music to the sums of money involved. With some tickets priced at more than £100 and with unspectacular seats clocking in at £85, it was hard to know whether expectations are merely raised in proportion to the bank balances of the huge entourage putting on the show. The Stones, without a cash care in the world, explode out of the blocks with Street Fighting Man and Start Me Up, but it also sets a standard to which they only sporadically return during the 110 minutes on stage or the 20 songs they get through. From a distance, Mick Jagger looks for all the world like he does on an archive version of Ready Steady Go: pirouetting and pouting, his physique seems largely resistant to the passage of time. A catwalk extends into the audience, though Jagger rarely ventures on to it until the end when it becomes the route to a small stage in the middle of the arena. Here, they return to their blues roots bashing out a mildly punk take of It's Only Rock and Roll. Even at a fraction of their heyday power, it takes only the likes of You Can't Always Get What You Want or Sympathy For The Devil to reinforce their influence on the history of rock music. The other overwhelming feeling is that life for the Stones was effectively paused in the mid to late 1970s. If it is a stagnant performance, then it is also an impressively robust way in which to probably say farewell to Scotland. Whether it represents value for money at £4.25 per song for those in £85 seats is another issue. Review from you:
