The Adelaide Guitar Festival presents a smorgasbord of guitar music from strictly classical through Flamenco to Rock and Roll. Last night at Her Majesty’s Theatre it was Rock and Roll with a group of experienced and intrepid musicians featuring the legendary Rolling Stones.
The Revue played songs from the Sticky Fingers album in the first half and after interval pulled out all the stops with such favourites as Honkey Tonk Woman and as a their final song I can’t get no satisfaction.
The audience was primed right from the get go to plunge themselves into the world of the Stones, but they really hit their stride in the second half, singing along, clapping in rhythm and cheering and dancing at the end. It would seem that the fans had got satisfaction.
And why not? Ted Perkins, Sarah McLeod, Adalita and Steve Kilbey, all noted performers in their own right sang, cavorted, and engaged the audience. Opening with Brown Sugar and including such hits as Dead Flowers and Moonlight Mile, they brought the music alive, helped by the very effective images as backdrop.
Supported by a fantastic band of musicians comprised of Jak Housden (guitar, Dario Bortolin (Bass) Gordon Rytmeister ((drums) Rob Woolie (keys) James Christowski (Guitar and Winston Smith (saxophone) the show energetically rolled and rocked for two hours paying tribute to the Rolling Stones who are considered by many as the greatest Rock and Roll band, until the audience reluctantly let them go.
