By DAVID MENCONI, STAFF WRITER


DURHAM - Say what you will about the Rolling Stones' current relevance or lack thereof: There just ain't a better band of capital-R Rock Stars in the world. Which seems very out of touch with the age of limitations we're now entering, of course, when spending hundreds of dollars to see a rock show seems like an obscene extravagance. Yet these aging rocker barons can still put on a pretty rousing show.
Saturday night, the Stones drew a near-capacity crowd of around 40,000 souls to Duke University's Wallace Wade Stadium, the biggest crowd there in years. In most ways, it was a thoroughly predictable show - a smattering of songs from the current album, "A Bigger Bang" (Virgin Records); most of the big juggernaut warhorses; cool crowd-interaction interlude; lots of pyrotechnics; a few "surprises." Most predictable of all, it was quite good.

A Stones tour is nothing if not detail-oriented, and every "i" was dotted and "t" crossed before, during and after the show. Seconds after opening act Trey Anastasio finished his set, a battalion-sized road crew went to work setting up for the headliners, accomplishing the task about as quickly as a typical NASCAR pit stop.

This tour's stage backdrop is a massive structure that looks like a butterfly-shaped apartment building, with extra seats above and behind the band (concert-goers earned those seats through a text-messaging contest). As a bomb-sniffing dog checked the stage, one roadie gave it a quick sweep with a pushbroom as a few others removed the sponsorship banners from each side of the stage.

After an introductory video that seemed oddly similar to what you'd see in a movie theater (I kept expecting a message to flash, "Welcome to Carmike Cinemas!"), fireworks shot above the stage as the band came out and kicked off the inevitable first song, "Start Me Up." A couple of songs later, someone from the road crew went to each usher in front of the stage and made them all take one step backward so they’d be lined up straight.

The early part of the set concentrated on B-list favorites, with as many as a dozen musicians wailing away on some songs. Early selections included "You Got Me Rockin'" and "She's So Cold" (honestly, one of the silliest knockoffs they’ve ever done).

It did take a while to get over the cadaverous visual impression they made, especially when the video screen behind the stage showed 25-year-old video footage of the band during "She's So Cold." Mick Jagger appears to be shriveling away to nothing but bones and cartilage, Ron Wood has wrinkles the depth of the Marianas Trench and Keith Richards looked positively embalmed. Still cooler than just about anyone else on the planet, but embalmed, and don't think he doesn't know it.

"Good to see you all," he quipped during his obligatory two-song vocal cameo. "Good to see anything!"

One pleasant surprise was "Wild Horses," the Stones' Gram Parsons tribute, on which Jagger strummed an acoustic guitar; the line, "I've got my freedom but I don't have much time" has acquired more resonance now that Jagger is over 60. That led to "Dead Flowers," another song from the twangier pages of the Stones songbook. Also quite nice was a tribute to the late great Ray Charles with "Nighttime Is the Right Time," with a house-shaking vocal from backup singer Lisa Fischer.

During "Miss You," part of the stage detached and traveled out on a track into the audience, coming to rest toward the back of the stadium for a couple of songs. The sound for this part of the show was actually rather poor and echo-plagued, but that didn't stop a woman from removing her bra and heaving it at Wood (who hung it from Jagger's microphone stand between guitar solos). And the echoes created an interesting off-beat effect for "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."

Then it was back to the main stage during "Honky Tonk Women," where a huge psychedelic inflatable tongue-and-lips logo awaited. There was one more also-ran ("Out of Control"), but then it was one classic after another -- "Sympathy for the Devil," "Brown Sugar," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and an encore of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "It's Only Rock and Roll."

We shall not see their like again.

DURHAM -- For a buildup that traded heavily on the band's longevity, all was made young again as Mick Jagger pranced, Keith Richards and Ron Wood traded guitar licks, and Wallace Wade Stadium's fans howled with glee.

The Rolling Stones brought their "A Bigger Bang" tour to Duke University on Saturday with what appeared to be a sell-out crowd. Fans, in turn, brought memories of the past shows they'd seen and high expectations for this one.

With the apparent median age of concertgoers well past halfway to AARP eligibility, there was room for some multigenerational appreciation, as well.

Daniel Emmett Sr. and Jr. were there together from Lexington, and Stones appeal spanned their age spread of 25 years, they said.

Daniel Sr., like many in the crowd, remembered the band from their "Steel Wheels" tour in 1989.

"They've got a great record this year," he said, referring to the new album by the same name as the current tour.

"I think it's pretty special," Daniel Jr. concurred.

A play on the Stones' song title "Sympathy for the Devil," with a slightly more sinister Duke Blue Devil motif, figured on a T-shirt that sold with others in the stadium for $35 and $45. Two men plied the Towerview Drive entrance to the stadium before the concert, hawking flashing pins with the Stones' tongue-lolling logo, $10 apiece.

And, of course, tickets had folks shelling out $350 for field-level seats. The stadium, which officials had said would hold 36,000, appeared full.

Matt Skiko of Raleigh was in the 11th row for his 40th birthday present from his wife, Debbie, who was with him, complete with a limousine ride to the stadium. He had last seen the Stones 11 years ago.

"We're having an absolute ball," he said, before the music had even started. "Seize the moment, you know, carpe diem," Skiko said.

Someone else was having a birthday, too. Lead act Trey Anastasio dedicated a song to his mother, who was in the crowd on her birthday, he announced. The former Phish guitarist got the crowd to its feet with the band's songs and a cover of the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus."

Timothy Tilghman from Baltimore arrived without a ticket but scored a $245 on-stage seat for $91, which was all he had on him, he said. Tilghman, who operates a Web site called RockonTour.net, said it was the 98th Stones concert he has attended.

"The 11th on this tour, the seventh U.S. tour, the 12th overall," he said, rattling off the venues, including several overseas. "I don't think I could go to every show personally," he added. "That would be ... ."

The statement was left unfinished because he accosted a passing a woman wearing a T-shirt from the current tour's initial engagement in Boston.

"You were in Boston?" he asked the shirt's wearer, Nancy Falcone, who was with her husband, Mike. They said they won the Boston tickets and trip there in a radio station contest in New Bern, but wanted more, so they came to Duke. They also saw the Stones in '89 in Raleigh.

"Carter-Finley! I was there! Twenty-five bucks!" Tilghman exclaimed.

Not everyone was so sanguine.

"I don't listen to rock and roll," admitted Joann Tippett, who with her husband Dale, came from Middlesex, near Rocky Mount. She prefers country music, but honored her husband's enthusiasm for the band, she said.

"I've been waiting for this for 20 years," Dale Tippett said.

Several would-be sellers of extra tickets appeared to have few prospective takers.

Evyenia Dunlap held up a couple, saying a relative she had hoped to bring was ill, and she wasn't feeling so well herself.

"I think most people who are coming have got their tickets already," she said. "Actually, it's very low-key compared to most concerts like this," she said as concertgoers gathered near the gate.

But as the 80-foot-tall stage spouted fireworks about 8:45 and the band launched into "Start Me Up," the atmosphere was anything but low-key.

"There's nothing bigger and better than the Rolling Stones," said Daniel Emmett Sr.

moy Generations rally in support of The Stones

There is a reason my ticket cost $113.65.

Never mind that the opening band was completely unremarkable.

Never mind that Mick Jagger welcomed students from Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill, but made no mention of N.C. State.

And never mind that The Rolling Stones did not play "Paint it Black," "Ruby Tuesday" or "Get Off of My Cloud."

None of this is important -- because Saturday night at Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium, The Rolling Stones blew my mind.

On a stage that included a four-story high screen with four stories of balcony seating on either side, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts lived up to their self-proclaimed title: "The Greatest Rock-and-Roll Band in the World."

The Stones began its two-hour set with "Start Me Up" and from that point on I was too enthralled to pay much attention to the set list. From where I was sitting, the aging rockers were only about half a centimeter tall, but they are such powerful performers, they don't necessarily need to be seen in order for one to appreciate the raw energy.

At 62, Mick Jagger is still the sexiest thing I have ever seen on a stage. He strutted, gyrated and flat out ran back and forth across the enormous stage, flailing his arms and belting lyrics like he's 20 years old.

Wearing black leather pants, a studded belt and a tiny black T-shirt with sequins around the neck and shoulders, he embodies everything a rock star should be.

The legendary Keith Richards is everything you would expect. Early in the show, he took the mic for a couple songs, and while he was introducing them with his ever-present cigarette in hand, someone told him there was no smoking in the stadium.

"Sorry, I didn't realize," he said casually as he tossed the burning cigarette to the stage floor.

He is officially the most laid-back rock genius in history.

Towards the beginning of the set, The Stones did a cover of Ray Charles' "(Night Time Is) The Right Time" as homage to an old friend.

This cover served as a reminder of the variety of artists who influenced the band. Even the music that played on the loudspeakers prior to the show reminded the audience of The Stones's wide-ranging influences. As the audience waited for the show, we listened to Franz Ferdinand, Ray Charles, 80s electronica, Motown and disco.

About halfway through the show, a section of the stage with the entire band on it moved along a track into the middle of the stadium.

The giant screen was turned off and the light show was put on hold while the spotlights focused on the platform now in the middle of a sea of people. It was here that The Stones played "Satisfaction."

The audience went crazy.

Children and their grandparents alike lost themselves in a song that will live on forever as one of the greatest in rock history.

Then the rain began.

They were soft sprinkles, like someone had turned on a giant mist machine, but they were enough to prompt Mick to say, "I knew it would bloody rain."

They played "Rough Justice," a song from the new album, and then rode back to the main stage.

With the light rain still coming, the stage lit up red and the screen displayed a black and white snakeskin pattern.

Fire shot from the stage and "Sympathy for the Devil" began. The audience took it upon itself to sing the "whoo, whoo" parts for the entire song.

I will forever be convinced that our whoo-whooing was what put a stop to the rain.

The audience was a huge in factor in how this show blew my mind.

To get an impression of the general make-up of the audience, let's take a quick look at the people who were sitting around us. To our right was a woman who is probably a bank teller during the day. She was in her 40s wearing gold-rimmed bifocals, a flashing tongue pin and either earplugs or a hearing aid. In front of us was a grey-haired man in a Harley-Davidson shirt who alternately smoked pot and Black and Milds throughout the show. To our left was a man who looked remarkably like Mel Gibson, but danced like Forrest Gump wearing leg braces and Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.

And then there's us. Too young to legally procure alcohol and wearing extreme rock-and-roll eye make-up with low-rise jeans, we were some of the youngest people there whose parents didn't purchase our tickets for us.

Any band that can bring these people together to sing "You Can't Always Get What You Want," but recognize that you get what you need, truly is the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.

By the time we got to the table they only had smalls left and thank goodness I am child size......it is really small! But equally cool!

JB to lose that weight I recommend that you Stop drinking pop even the so-called calorie free crap if you drink it at all. Start drinking organic roasted green tea ( a pot a day) I prefer and recommend Eden brand Hojicha. I've been drinking it almost daily for 2 years and I swear by it. I take it on the road it is so soothing and has very little caffeine. The tea not only will help to fill you up so you won't be as hungry if your appetite is OTT ( but do not add any sweetner or this won't work) you will be fully hydrated. LOL The tea cleans your body of toxins and adds antioxidants, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-imflammatory (which you NEED for that back pain madness) properties. I urge you to try it.

Get off dairy if you over eat it and eat more veggies and fruit. Drink at least 2 liters of water a day as well and the weight will begin to melt away.

Your back does not need that extra weight.....

I love you darlin'!

These are all suggestions as they work for me....take what you like and leave the rest.

peace out!
Your sister Martha
