Only Rock and Roll
It’s not a joke: The Rolling Stones may look as old as dirt but they sound as strong as they did in the 1970s.
Yes, the Stones can still rock, and all you need to prove that is one listen to the band’s new album, A Bigger Bang, the first Stones album since 1997’s unremarkable Bridges to Babylon and the band’s 24th album of original material.
Lead singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards seem to have put their differences aside to put together one of the band’s best efforts, an album on par with Exile on Main Street.
Atlantic City will be able to see what all of the buzz is about when the Stones perform songs from A Bigger Bang as well as the classics that made them legends when they perform at Boardwalk Hall October 27, presented by Borgata.
When it comes to rock, it simply doesn’t get any bigger than the Stones. Whether you admire Jagger’s frenetic stage presence, Richards’ undeniably catchy guitar riffs or Charlie Watts’ steady drumbeat, the Stones put classic in the term classic rock.
Recent setlists show the band performing "Start Me Up," "Shattered," "Beast of Burden," "Satisfaction," "Honky Tonk Woman," "Jumpin’ Jack Flash," "Brown Sugar," "You Can’t Always Get What You Want," "It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll" and some new tunes, too.
In other words, Boardwalk Hall will rock.
The Rolling Stones perform 8 p.m. October 27 in Boardwalk Hall. Tickets are $60, $99, $250 and $450.
