hmm...they just slowed down a bit on the 1982 Steel Wheels tour...
Nope, it's still the Ferrari, albeit a little older...
Steelwheels was 1989
jeroen
No,that was the 2019 tour...
I saw two shows in 81 and I agree - worst sounding tour I've attended.
Bingo!

Despite the fact that I liked the 81/82 Tour as well as earlier and later ones I see the pace in songs and how they have been finally presented in the London shows 2012 for good. They may charge Ferrari ticketprices (not again that threas), but they deliver Rolls Royces IMO. And I think this is why a lot of people can't cope with what they delivery today.
Yeah well, they should realize that they are not the same also,and lower tickets prices to see them, not charge the crazy amounts that they are charging,as if they were in their prime,l mean they are OLD and can't hardly play anymore,look at Keith in those videos from the club show the other night,he doesn't move,having to concentrate so hard to play Brown Sugar,a song he ought to play in his sleep,and with one hand......

So much grousing here about the Stones playing their songs at studio tempo, which is slower than what they used to do live. So what already? These guys are pushing 70. Charlie's older, Ronnie's a bit younger. Who ever thought a few decades past that the greatest rock and roll band in the world would still be touring in 2013?? Taking their age into consideration, they're in amazing shape and playing better than anyone has a right to expect. To complain that they're not as wild onstage as they were in their younger days is ridiculous. From the videos I've seen of the club show, plus the shows they did in London and Newark, they still sound like The Rolling F#@%ing Stones! Even if the tempos are a bit slower. Actually on some songs they sound better than they did a few years ago on the ABB Tour. And we also get Mick Taylor for a little bit. Hell, people once expected Keith to be dead decades ago. Now he's playing his trademark licks with passion and focus even if he can't play as fiery as he once did. He's 69! Give him a break! And Jagger moves like most performers that are much younger could never match. I see nothing to bitch about. I, for one, am very jealous as I can't afford to go to this tour...but maybe I'll find a way...And thanks to BV for running this great site!

Maybe I should have called this thread You Can't Always Get What You Want- but you get what you need. Be grateful The Stones are still rolling at an age many people never expected some of them to live to! God bless The Rolling Stones.It's only rock and roll - but I LOVE it! Yes I do! Thank you Stones!

The aber is though that you pay for a Ferrari and they deliver a run down Ford with a lot of milage. If you accept that, it's all fine!

I feel lucky that they are still here.
There's no way in hell I think that they deserve what they're charging for tickets. But it's nice to check iorr to get glimses of recent pics and videos from time to time, just to know they're still alive.

I read this about this supposed bad sound stuff from time to time, but I guess I am just lucky that all of the shows I have gone to have sounded awesome. I saw/heard 4 shows in 1981; both days in Boulder, 1 show in St Louie in and 1 show in KC... and they all sound great.
