Ok Loudie,
Just to clarify....Stones Never do MEDLIES!! I dont know what you were watching but that is not how a STONES show works.
I do have 27 of them under my belt, so...since 1975 to the present there hasn't been one show I've been to that I've ever heard a medly. And I don't expect to hear one either! Not from them.

And besides, 1978 sucked, really!! The Outfits Mick wore were horrible! The singing was terrible, the band wasnt tight. I dont know what people see in that tour or that time. Pretty much the 80's for Rock-n-Roll sucked...very few bright spots!
As far as I'm concerned the Stones get Better with each tour! But you can't FEEL that by watching VIDEO! You have to be there! The energy is AMAZING!! Butterflies and nervousness till the lights dim. Then the anticipation of the band stepping on stage and the first strum of Keith!!!!
Aahhh Man there is nothing like it! And there isn't a film out there that captures that excitement. But when youve actually been to a show or two, then you really know what it is to look at a film and remember the feeling!
So go to a Show and then comment!

Oh boy!
Listen dude first of all... when I write "medley" I meant that on the 2002 Licks tour they played three songs of a particular album on probably every show, it was like a section; - Mainly Sticky Fingers, Exile, Some Girls and Let It bleed. That is what I meant about a Medley. They did play real medleys on the 75/76 tour so you know.
Second I ve been to every tour since 89' and for me a Mick Jagger outfit does not get the hair on my back to rise, either my pecker. The 78 tour is special for its raw, its rock n roll to the core approach and Bill and Charlies incredible groove. Yes for me is the music not the spectacle. Yes I am very unfortunate to have been only 7 years-old when it happened but it is my belief that this tour is their best.
Third , you write stuff as if I haven't been to a show ... I ve been to plenty of shows since 89' some great some terrible and I'll tell ya , i'll take the 78 tour anyday if I could.
You know I was at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami in 94... the pay per view. great show. I remember at the end, after all the fireworks, this 50 something bearded man sitting behind me, obviously some hippie or stones head or whatever some old fan. And he sat there with his eyes lost, like he was sorry the show ended, "I said hey man great show" he looked at me and just said "I saw them in 69" and I was like no way!!! and he said " they are much better now you know". So I guess everything is matter of taste isn't it, or he was just pulling my leg - who knows.Quote

I'm not an American so i haven't seen the 78 tour first hand, but heard quite some bootlegs of that tour and seen footage and i think it was a great tour with a great album and a fresh new breath of air coming from the Stones, it was also one of their last real album promoting tours, and apart from the awfull clothes Jagger was wearing at this tour he was refreshing to see after his drag-queen act of 1976. No 1978 is defenitly one of the great historic Stones tours, wheter you personally like it or not (we can't like everything the same, some hate Satanic, i love it, some love Sticky i think it is one of the lesser albums, but there you go)

. If You can't rock me leads into get off Of My Cloud with no break. That is not a medley. A medley is probabaly 50 to 60 sec of each tune with a total of maybe 4 or more. Go to vegas if you want to hear a medley.

At least you´re consequent in judging "the overrated garbage" Some Girls
album with the following tour....
What I´ve listened to from this tour is really great...sure there must have been
some "off days",but that´s to say certainly from every tour.

'72 they toured behind a better new release than they did in '73, but I honestly think that performance-wise, the European tour in '73 just shades it. And not JUST because of one fantastic bootleg.

Hard to compare two great tours, but I agree that '73 has the edge. The band went to another place and level of intensity behind Mick Taylor's exquisite playing. They also had the GHS material to draw from, which gave it some different colorings than '72. Preston was just right this tour - much too much in '75-'76.

How can some of you regard the bridges to Babylon tour better than Steel wheels tour considering Wyman was still playing bass... I really believe Wyman's playing changed the bands sound forever. Hey I think Darryl Jones is a great musician, however the chemistry between Charlie and Bill were essential to bands music onstage. I am not knockin the current lineup or current orchestra but you have to admit that Bill Wyman with Charlie Watts is not the same as Charlie and Darryl Jones. I haven't heard a post 94 version of Tumblin Dice swinging? Have you?

Any tour with Wyman better than any tour without.
Any tour with Taylor better than any that came after.
