Normally Keith opens with a furious riff, but this time Charlie Watts sat alone behind his drums and did the honours. Watts at 76 is the oldest member of the band, but his energy never once slowed during the night, and the normally dour percussionist gave more than one huge grin as he played. &#8216;Sympathy&#8217; has forever been shrouded in controversy, but the audience lapped it up, singing along. It was the perfect opening, leading into &#8216;Tumbling Dice&#8217;, before segueing into &#8216;Paint It Black&#8217;, a very clear crowd favourite.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36064\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36064\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"36064\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/05\/the-rolling-stones-satisfy-deeply-on-opening-show-of-nofilter-tour-at-dublins-croke-park\/846dcea9-679a-4ea0-b3e9-0fa1cf7ef835\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/846DCEA9-679A-4EA0-B3E9-0FA1CF7EF835.jpeg?fit=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S9400W S9450W&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1526586077&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;215.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0023809523809524&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"846DCEA9-679A-4EA0-B3E9-0FA1CF7EF835\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/846DCEA9-679A-4EA0-B3E9-0FA1CF7EF835.jpeg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-36064 size-full\" title=\"Keith Richards and Charlie Watts, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin - Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/846DCEA9-679A-4EA0-B3E9-0FA1CF7EF835.jpeg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Keith Richards and Charlie Watts, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin - Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36064\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keith Richards and Charlie Watts, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin &#8211; Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Jagger was in fine form, lithe and sleekily sexual, still able to seduce everyone in the audience at the age of 74. Chatting away about how the band had visited Temple Bar the previous evening and had a spice bag (a local Dublin delicacy involving chicken, chips, and lots of spices &#8211; including chilli peppers) he announced that they would play a couple of blues numbers, &#8216;Just Your Fool&#8217;, and &#8216;Ride &#8216;Em On Down&#8217;. Much as the rock songs are what people remember of The Rolling Stones, it&#8217;s the blues songs which define their style, and ultimately work best with Mick Jagger&#8217;s voice, and also give him the opportunity to show off his skills on the harmonica. Following on from this they performed &#8216;Neighbours&#8217;, from 1981&#8217;s &#8216;Tattoo You&#8217;, a song that they hadn&#8217;t &#8220;done in a couple hundred years&#8221;, and indeed, they&#8217;ve not performed it live since their &#8216;Forty Licks&#8217; tour of 2003.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36050\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36050\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"36050\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/05\/the-rolling-stones-satisfy-deeply-on-opening-show-of-nofilter-tour-at-dublins-croke-park\/3147ecad-c369-4e41-a2fd-14a3e9d655cd\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/3147ECAD-C369-4E41-A2FD-14A3E9D655CD.jpeg?fit=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S9400W S9450W&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1526586624&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;215.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0047619047619048&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3147ECAD-C369-4E41-A2FD-14A3E9D655CD\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/3147ECAD-C369-4E41-A2FD-14A3E9D655CD.jpeg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-36050 size-full\" title=\"Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin - Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/3147ECAD-C369-4E41-A2FD-14A3E9D655CD.jpeg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin - Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36050\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin &#8211; Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Rolling Stones are quite savvy when it comes to using social media: in the lead up to the show both Keith and Ronnie had posted pieces on Instagram and Twitter, as did their official band accounts. In leading up to the show they asked on social media for fans to choose between three ballads to play at Croker, out of which I was sure it would be between &#8216;Angie&#8217; and &#8216;Wild Horses&#8217;. The latter was the winner, and the song proved to be the perfect choice, giving Mick the opportunity to demonstrate that his vocal skills were still very much in tune. This was further supported by the glorious &#8216;You Can&#8217;t Always Get What You Want&#8217;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36045\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36045\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"36045\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/05\/the-rolling-stones-satisfy-deeply-on-opening-show-of-nofilter-tour-at-dublins-croke-park\/210b198e-28b6-4ab8-bb17-7cb2fb911bf4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/210B198E-28B6-4AB8-BB17-7CB2FB911BF4.jpeg?fit=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;6.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S9400W S9450W&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1526587821&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;215.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1600&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"210B198E-28B6-4AB8-BB17-7CB2FB911BF4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/210B198E-28B6-4AB8-BB17-7CB2FB911BF4.jpeg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-36045 size-full\" title=\"Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin - Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/210B198E-28B6-4AB8-BB17-7CB2FB911BF4.jpeg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin - Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36045\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stones May 17 2018, Croke Park Dublin &#8211; Photo Credit: Lisa Hafey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keith Richards, who had not only played guitar and saxophone during the night, took his turn at the mic, singing two of his own songs. &#8216;Before They Make Me Run&#8217;, from their 1978 album, &#8216;Some Girls&#8217;, was written in response to his arrest in Toronto the previous year on charges of heroin possession.
