Mick Jagger leads the Rolling Stones in an exhilarating 2-hour concert at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones perform during their Hackney Diamonds Tour Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. It’s been 60 years since the Rolling Stones first burst onto the international scene, racing up the album charts with their self-titled 1964 debut — which is known in America under the title of “England’s Newest Hit Makers.”
Jagger, as per usual, was nothing short of miraculous as he worked the full house during a 20-song set that ran approximately two hours. The show began at right around 9 p.m., following an opening set by Canadian rock act The Beaches, and Jagger was still going strong — racing up and down the catwalk that extended from the large mainstage and into the crowd on the floor — as clock ticked towards 11 p.m.
This injection of new material has obviously been great for the Stones, stirring up creative juices that haven’t really been put to use since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang,” and the band members seemed particularly inspired whenever they turned to a “Hackney Diamonds” track in concert. Jagger was the undeniable bright star throughout the show, operating in full cheerleader mode as he used his moves and vocals to continually push the evening to even greater heights. He also took time to charm the crowd, showing his sports acumen as he gave his blessing to the hometown 49ers.
“We first came here 59 years ago, if you believe it,” “There was no Silicon Valley. But there was the Cow Palace. I can still smell it.” The rest of the touring band is also splendid, consisting of bassist Darryl Jones, saxophonists Karl Denson and Tim Ries, multi-instrumentalist Matt Clifford, keyboardist Chuck Leavell and backing vocalists Bernard Fowler and Chanelle Haynes.
