Saw both the 17th and the 18th @ the Stick....Opening bands rocked and so did the Stones! Even with all the plywood they put down the turf it was still a muddy mess.

You and I were part of the same 50,000.... we were up front too and it was not too tightly packed... I had a blast with you that day... crisp beautiful Colorado weather for a great daytime show. It was awesome. We also went the first day too... back to back Stones shows are happy days.... it was blast.. then we saw them 4 more times on that tour.Quote

Saw them Boulder 2nd day and Minneapolis. Boulder was outdoor big football stadium No seats on the field so we were cramed in the 4th row like sardiens. GT was great but Heart got booed. Stones rocked. Camped out with 50,000 stones fans and partied.

The Stones put out, before the BIGGER BANG TOUR, a brand new shirt design (below) for that very date you saw. A pseudo-"vintage" shirt designed in 2005....for a 1981 show. I bought it in 2006 (same image but a different style shirt) and wore it to an MGM Grand, Vegas Stones show shortly after. Some older fans sitting near me were sort of perplexed. "You say this was designed recently? But it says 1981? Hmmm...." They finally understood "vintage" ain't always actually vintage.
Designed in 2005
