You can't always get what you want
Article Abstract:
The Rolling Stones' new 'Bridges of Babylon' tour has the energy and spectacular effects which have come to be associated with this group. However, there are also signs of errors of judgement and insecurity. On the opening night of the tour, Mick Jagger seemed tense and nervous, and this was emphasized by the large and very clear video screen. There were a number of elements in the show which did not really work, but the climax was as spectacular as in previous Rolling Stones shows.
