In Japan, where rock n roll fans consider the Rolling Stones honmono - the real thing - Mick Jagger`s eight-show solo concert toursold out in a matter of hours. The shows were the first Japaneseconcerts by any member of the Stones, whose 1973 tour of thecountry was scrapped due to drug-related visa problems. Jagger gavefour performances in Osaka, two in Tokyo and two in Nagoya. A totalof about 170,000 fans paid an average of 6500 yen apiece -approximately $50 - for the chance to see the forty-four-year-oldsuperstar. Officially dubbed Suntory Dry Beer Live Mick Jagger InJapan, the tour - although a commercial and artistic success -showed how disappointing Jagger´s career as a solo performer hasbeen. By the time he reached Tokyo´s Korakuen stadium on March22nd, Jagger had dropped three of the solo songs he had performedat his shows in Osaka; the Tokyo concert featured just six songsfrom his two solo albums, She´s the Boss and Primitive Cool.Instead, the fans at the newly opened 50,000-seat domed stadiumwere treated to a heavy dose of Stones classics in thetwenty-two-song, two-and-a-half-hour show. Strutting out to theunmistakable opening notes of "Honky Tonk Women," Jagger quicklyset the tone for the evening. Backing the singer was a first-rateband that featured drummer Simon Phillips, bassist Doug Wimbish andguitarist Joe Satriani, as well as a group of background singersthat included Bernard Fowler and Lisa Fischer. Jagger moved quicklyon to a powerful version of his own Throwaway, from Primitive Cool.Along with second guitarist Jimmy Ripp, Satriani gave a full courseon guitar-hero poses for both the crowd and the cameras filming theshow for a subsequent Japanese TV broadcast. But it was Jagger -never a slouch when it comes to playing to a crowd - who dominatedthe show: though the band was given an ample share of thespotlight, it operated in the court of the king. The show endedwith a scorching rendition of "Jumpin´ Jack Flash" while a swirlingconstellation of lights filled the dome; the band waved goodbye asJagger gave a formal Japanese bow. For the encore, giant hanko(Japanese signature stamps) that bore Jagger´s name in Japaneseletters appeared on the monitors, and the Japanese percussionistStomu Yamashta came into view, pounding the opening drum part of"Sympathy for the Devil." Jagger reappeared wearing a hannya, aJapanese devil mask, and was soon joined by some forty dancinggirls outfitted in black and pink. Smoking volcanoes kicked off theshow´s final number, a furious, metallic version of "Satisfaction."The Japanese fans were elated: it was almost like seeing theRolling Stones.
