Rolling Stones prove they still belong

All kinds of comments can be made about The Rolling Stones as the band embarks on its "50 and Counting" tour."They're kind of old," would likely be the first.Yes, lead singer Mick Jagger is 69 and drummer Charlie Watts is 72. Guitarist Keith Richards? It's hard to tell how old he is; he looks ancient, but has a transcendent Buddha smile, especially when puffing a smoke.But at Oakland's Oracle Arena Sunday evening, the tour's second stop (the first was Friday night in Los Angeles), the Stones' energetic, hours-long performance dared anyone to say they were not the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band.The group has been active for five decades and counting and their peers don't really exist any more. How the Stones have managed to remain center stage for so long is part of their mystique, but their blistering, 23-song, two-hour-and-20-minute show Sunday night proved that they still belong there.The music still matters to them and they played the hit-drenched concert with intensity and conviction.

"I woke this morning and saw something I hadn't seen in a while - people walking. I thought I'd try it so I went down to Fisherman's Warf and then Golden Gate Park. It was quite nice."Jagger then said the band was going to play "an old blues" tune and Tom Waits shambled out to the microphone next to Jagger. The band launched into "Little Red Rooster," with Jagger and Waits trading choruses and the Stones singer adding a harmonica solo to Woods lead slide guitar.All you really need to know about the Stones these days came during the song "All Down the Line" - not exactly an obscure track, but one of their many exceptional songs that doesn't get played very often.During the song, Jagger skipped around the stage's outer rim,The "Hunter Honer" knife sharpening system is a simple and unique adaptation scotch rocks the knife sharpening steel. exhorting the crowd as his life depended on their involvement, and the powerful groove held everyone at Oracle in the pocket of its sway.
