Mick Jagger rips the joint at tiny L.A. club
By Dean Goodman

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As showbiz celebrities and hired models watched in 
awe, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger let it loose during a rare solo 
concert at a tiny Los Angeles club Thursday.

Jagger's new album hits stores next week, and he chose the 770-capacity El 
Rey Theatre near Hollywood as the venue for his only concert performance to 
promote the release.

``This is the world tour for this album, 'Goddess in the Doorway,''' Jagger, 
58, told the invite-only crowd. ``You can say you were at every gig, OK?''

Wearing a sleeveless red T-shirt emblazoned with the Statue of Liberty over 
the slogan ``Liberte,'' and black corduroy jeans, Jagger whipped through 
seven tunes, including Stones nuggets ''Respectable'' and ``Miss You.''

He began and ended with his new single ``God Gave Me Everything,'' which ABC 
will screen during a Jagger documentary, ''Being Mick,'' next Thursday.

Organizers paid dozens of young models $100 each to surround the small stage 
and catwalk, and shooed away regular-looking people. The cute young faces 
earned their money by shrieking and clawing at Jagger's skinny legs as he 
pranced past them.

Almost as excited was former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.

``It felt like it was 1978 and people were worshiping the idea that Mick 
looked exactly like he did 23 years ago,'' Page told Reuters. ``He looked 
great.''

Other rockers in attendance included Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes and 
his actress wife, Kate Hudson, former Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan, 
Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit and Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray. Actors included Meg 
Ryan, Billy Crudup, David Spade, and Heath Ledger, as well as supermodel 
Naomi Campbell. At least two of Jagger's daughters, Karis and Elizabeth, were 
also there.

As he exited the stage along with his six-member band, Jagger told the crowd: 
``I loved every minute of it.''

He then retreated to a luxury trailer parked on a residential street behind 
the theater and received well-wishers.

``Goddess in the Doorway,'' Jagger's fourth solo album, will be released in 
North America Nov. 20. He has toured only once without the Stones, swinging 
through Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia in 1988. He promoted his 
last album, 1993's ``Wandering Spirit'' with an MTV concert at Webster Hall 
in New York. Along with Stones guitarist Keith Richards, he performed two of 
the band's songs at the ``Concert for New York'' fundraiser at Madison Square 
Garden last month.

The Rolling Stones are in talks to hit the road late next year, ending a 
three-year break from touring.
