Rolling Stones rock MetLife Stadium before Memorial Day weekend

[ad_1]

The Rolling Stones sure know how to throw a Jersey Memorial Day weekend party.

Jokes, topical chatter, Jersey diner menu talk and nearly two hours of some of the greatest songs in rock ‘n’ roll were on stage May 23 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

The Stones — whose members Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are both 80 — have found that sweet spot where they don’t seem to take themselves too seriously yet still remain a dangerous force of music. Back-to-back renditions of “Paint it Black” and “Gimme Shelter” rang throughout MetLife with an ominous beauty. It was glorious and a bit chilling.

Mick Jagger is shown during the Rolling Stones May 23 concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

 Chanelle Haynes, who’s making her Rolling Stones live debut on this tour, absolutely sizzled on the female lead for “Gimme Shelter.”

The band grew stronger as the night went on. Jagger made a 50-yard dash from the stage catwalk to the drum kit during “Honky Tonk Women” and didn’t seem to lose a breath.
