Satisfaction Brings The Music of The Rolling Stones to B.B. Kings.
December 1, 12:48 PM NY Hard Rock Music Examiner Elliot Levin
Costumed tribute act Satisfaction performed at B.B.Kings Bar & Grill last night, playing classic Rolling Stones songs to an enthusiastic crowd.
B.B. Kings often plays host to a number of classic rock tribute bands, such as Pink Floyd act The Machine, and Sublime tribute Badfish. Last night’s show was atypical, however, as concertgoers were ushered directly into seats in the venue’s dining area upon entrance, leaving the main floor empty and creating an ambience of a higher class atmosphere.
However, at 8pm the lights dimmed and the band took the stage playing Jumpin’ Jack Flash, and fans quickly moved to the front of the stage. The group’s setlist for the night was a song for song tribute to the famous Altamont concert of 1969, albeit with B.B. King’s black-clad waiters replacing Hell’s Angels security.
Satisfaction is a production that outputs an impressively high end performance. The groups’ two guitarists were top notch musicians, trading off on solos with all the fervor of Keith Richards himself. The group’s look-alike singer, meanwhile, pranced about the stage so flamboyantly he arguably out-Mick Jaggered the actual Stones frontman himself. The band had a roaring, amplified sound that clearly hit every corner of the room, and blasted into the dancing groups of fans that gathered at the front of the stage.
Playing through the Altamont setlist song by song, the group flawlessly performed hits like Sympathy for the Devil, Honky Tonk Woman, and Under My Thumb in between lesser known songs such as Love In Vain and Little Queenie. Especially notable was Gimme Shelter, as band didn't let the lack of a female vocalist stop them from wholeheartedly plowing through the classic protest song as the audience sang along.
Ending the Altamont set with Street Fighting Man, the group then announced a second set after a brief intermission, giving them a chance to perform many of the Stones favorites from the later eras, such as Start Me Up, Paint It Black, and the always passionate Wild Horses. The faux Mick Jagger also left the stage a number of times, allowing the rest of the musicians to jam out slow, bluesy tunes, as well as giving the faux-Keith Richards, resplendent in full earrings and banada get-up, a chance to sing as well.
The band wrapped up with Can’t Always Get What You Want, stopping the music on a dime to let the revved up audience sing the famous chorus. After a quick exit from the stage, the group then returned to encore with Tumbling Dice, making sure to thank the exuberant New York crowd.
Satisfaction demonstrates such an enthusiasm and love for the music that the audience couldn’t help but be caught up in the rock n’ roll passion that defines the music of the Rolling Stones. From slower blues to hard-hitting rock songs, Satisfaction fully summed up the Stones experience, while mimicking the original band’s sense of movement and style with a true-to-form, yet tongue in cheek aplomb. Until the Rolling Stones announce another US tour, any die-hard fan would do well to catch Satisfaction the next time they’re in town.
