The concert took place after the London-bred band first performed in San Diego and Los Angeles. Singer Mick Jagger, at 80, remains a constantly in motion showman at the top of his game.
The Rolling Stones perform at SoFi Stadium on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. The Stones will play a second concert at Sofi Stadium on Saturday. Shown from left are lead singer Mick Jagger, drummer Steve Jordan and guitarist Keith Richards. There wasn’t a hint of irony Wednesday night at SoFi Stadium when Mick Jagger, still improbably slender and energetic at the age of 80, sang the line “Let the old believe that they’re young” during “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.
Just as impressive was the concert-opening double-shot of “Start Me Up” and the once-controversial “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” which was recorded in 1966 when Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards were both 23. Mick Jagger, an improbable 80 years old, performs with The Rolling Stones at SoFi Stadium on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. The Stones will play a second concert at Sofi Stadium on Saturday.
“Our first gig was in San Bernardino. And then we did this famous television show called ‘The T.A.M.I. Show.’ That was so long ago some of you probably think we were dug out of the La Brea Tar Pits.” Their pandemic-delayed 2020 tour moving to 2021 notwithstanding, the Stones typically tour the U.S. once every four years or so. It remains to be seen if the London-bred band’s next concert trek on these shores will be in 2028, when Jagger and Richards will be 84.
Jagger, Richards and guitarist Ronnie Wood, 77, who joined the group in 1976, performed with palpable conviction and focus. Jazz and rock drum dynamo Steve Jordan, who became Watts’ handpicked successor three years ago, vigorously propelled the music but never overpowered it.
