Rolling Stones Back with Bang
Despite the recent slew of setbacks threatening their world tour, the Rolling Stones were back with a bang Sunday night--A Bigger Bang.
The "Start Me Up" rockers returned to the stage after being forced to cancel two concert dates in Spain last week while frontman Mick Jagger recovered from a bout of laryngitis.
The 63-year-old singer reportedly made no mention of his ailment during the show, but he had no problems referencing those of his coconut-wrangling guitarist Keith Richards, whom he introduced as "Keith Headbanger."
Of course, as with most dates on the Stones' never-ending world tour, the concert was not without its hitches.
Originally scheduled to take place in London's Wembley Arena, the gig was rerouted to the slightly smaller Twickenham Stadium when it became clear there was not adequate time to prep the first location.
"We were meant to be at Wembley," Jagger said by way of explanation. "I think they're going to get Wembley ready for the farewell tour of the Arctic Monkeys."
Still, the new locale made the U.K. gig even more of a homecoming for the boys, as the stadium was no more than a stone's throw, as it were, from where Jagger, Richards, et al. first banded together.
"It's strange how you wind up back where you started, here in Twickenham, in Richmond," Jagger said.
According to critics, the band was back in fighting form as well.
Britain's Guardian newspaper said the concert showed every sign of "going on until the end of time, not unlike Keith Richards himself." Which is at least partially a compliment. London's Independent, meanwhile, proclaimed that there was "no expense spared" on the gig, though they followed up the praise by adding there was also "no taste wasted."
The concert date marked the resumption of a tour that has been almost ridiculously marred by mishaps.
Last spring, shortly before the Stones were set to kick off the European leg of A Bigger Bang, Richards notoriously tumbled head-first from a coconut tree while vacationing in Fiji. His concussed cranium resulted in the group postponing their tour by nearly two months.
In June, when it was slated to resume, reports surfaced that Wood had entered rehab, prompting rumors the tour would again be postponed, though it did begin as planned on July 11.
Last week, the tour was again plagued with misfortune as Jagger was diagnosed with laryngitis and ordered to rest his voice, causing the cancellation of the sole two Spain dates on the tour.
The Stones are due to play their second gig in London tomorrow night.
