Midway through The Rolling Stones’ concert Saturday night at Cleveland Browns Stadium, frontman Mick Jagger referenced the band’s first full show in the Forest City six decades ago. “It was pretty empty but it was still rowdy,” Jagger said of the 1964 Public Auditorium show.
Midway through The Rolling Stones’ concert Saturday night at Cleveland Browns Stadium, frontman Mick Jagger referenced the band’s first full show in the Forest City six decades ago.The comment was no doubt a throwaway line meant to amp up a capacity crowd at one of the biggest shows the city will host this year. Still, it highlighted that the British rock ’n’ roll band has put out music and toured for 60-plus years.
Like so many of the band’s tours in the back half of their career, most of the focus was on a core set of their best-known songs. Opening the show with rocker “Start Me Up” and closing with the sneering “ Satisfaction,” the show was heavy on the hits and light on the deeper cuts that make their catalog so rich.
Jordan lacks some of the finesse of his predecessor but his pounding drums kept the show moving at a brisk pace. They powered a show light on frills but heavy on expert instrumental interplay, like the work Jordan did with bassist Darryl Jones on a groove-heavy “Miss You.”, the band’s first in seven years, was represented with a handful of cuts that, well, sound like the Stones.
