The Rolling Stones Revue took to the stage at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle on Sunday night to deliver a show that truly lived up to the legendary band’s reputation.
Opening with the entire Sticky Fingers album, the Revue, fronted by Adalita (Magic Dirt), Phil Jamieson (Grinspoon), Tex Perkins (The Cruel Sea, Tex Don & Charlie) and self-professed Stones’ tragic, Tim Rogers (You Am I), captivated the audience from the first note of Brown Sugar to the final chords of Moonlight Mile.
Each track was performed with a raw authenticity that not only paid homage to the original recordings but also breathed new life into one of rock’s most iconic albums.
Following the album’s completion, the Revue shifted gears into a second set filled with classic Stones hits.
The crowd was treated to an electrifying mix of anthems, including Start Me Up, Sympathy for the Devil, and Jumping Jack Flash. Each song was a testament to why The Rolling Stones are hailed as the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World.
On stage, the band’s energy was infectious, with every member clearly relishing the opportunity to bring these timeless songs to life on stage together once again.
Led by Jak Housden and a red-hot backing band, the Revue came with all the swagger, sweat, and energy that made their 2022 tour such a success.
The performance was a masterclass in rock and roll, reminding everyone in attendance just why these songs have endured for decades.
Whether it was the gritty riffs of Gimme Shelter or the rebellious energy of Satisfaction, the Rolling Stones Revue delivered a night of music that was nothing short of spectacular.
