Beacon II was the last show I saw.
I got all emotional beforehand, as I was really grappling with the possibility that it would be my "Last Time." As saddened as I was at the prospect, I was thrilled by the event and delighted to be saying goodbye in that setting.
Then the Stones came out and slashed and burned right through all my sentimentality. Burned it to the ground. Forget the hall, the cameras, the celebrities, the hoopla; it was simply a night of great rock'n roll.
Now I'm waiting for another opener like Fenway or Chicago '97 or Oakland '99. I love the promise of a new tour and the steady excitement of having the Stones out there working their way across North America and the world.
I like to tell myself that I've seen them enough and that I'm prepared for it to be over. I'm not.
