frankh Still drawing blood
from the Stones

By LANCE GOULD
DAILY NEWS FEATURE WRITER


Mick Jagger leads Rolling Stones in tune-up show for tomorrow’s live HBO concert at the Garden, reprising several tracks from classic album 'Let It Bleed.'

The Rolling Stones may seem cute and cuddly now - sort of - but there was a time when their "Bad Boys of Rock" title packed more than a cartoonish wallop.
One album that best exemplified the Stones' debauched and dangerous side was 1969's "Let It Bleed" - the album the band featured most prominently in their show last night at Madison Square Garden.

On their "Licks" world tour, which kicked off last September in Boston, the legendary British rockers have mixed more obscure songs from a particular album into their set list of greatest hits. The album that often got the most attention during the first three months of the tour was "Exile on Main Street," the Stone's 1972 classic double-album.

"Let It Bleed," less fully realized than "Exile" but nevertheless possessed of some of the band's greatest songs, has been getting more attention since the band resumed touring last week, following a month-long break for the holidays.

The five "Bleed" tracks - "Monkey Man" (which can be heard in "Goodfellas"), "Live With Me," "Midnight Rambler," "Gimme Shelter" and the leering title track - made for some of the least predictable and therefore most exciting moments.

The band opened with "Street Fighting Man," their '60s call-to-arms.

But Mick Jagger, the Stone's tireless singer and front man, hardly seems the revolutionary type anymore, especially dressed in a spangly white sports jacket. But he has shown no worse for wear as either a vocalist or performer in the 40 years since he started. Manically pointing and gesticulating like a tourist in search of a cab, Jagger pumped energy through the entire show.

In fact, when Jagger took a two-song break and let the Stones' riff-happy guitarist Keith Richards take over for "Slippin' Away" and "Before They Make Me Run," the show's energy level deflated noticeably.

Still, over the course of the three-hour, 22-song set, the Stones were marvelous, especially the blistering interplay between Richards guitarist Ron Wood.

The evening ended with a run of standards, including "Brown Sugar," "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash."

The band reprises this show Saturday night in front of a live national audience on HBO. In spite of their advancing age, the boys show they can still leave blood on the stage.

quackenbush What does Lance Gould by saying Let it Bleed is not as fully realized as Let It Bleed? He's just talking out of his behind. Let It Bleed stands defiantly on its own.

Pants Make the Man So "Gimme Shelter", "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Midnight Rambler", et al, are half-baked? Where do they get these people from? Uranus? He certainly pulled that one out of his ass.

Yeah the stupid fuck-- "when Mick took a two song break the energy level deflated noticably"? WTF??

And, incredibly worse still, this pompous personification of "Ignorant"--hello!--no mention of Sumlin on Let It Bleed?
