I was at the Milwaukee show (Feb 99). Great show....had good lower bowl seats.
Ran into Bobby Keys before the show. Nice setlist.
Earlier in the day...tried to get a glimpse of them at their hotel lobby.
Blondie Chaplin was hanging out....saw Daryl Jones. Saw the Jagger nanny
taking the kids out sight-seeing. Read in the newspaper that they celebrated
one of Mick's daughters birthdays in the hotel restaurant.
Coach Larry Bird and the Indiana Pacers were checking into the hotel to play the Bucks the following (i assume).

I've seen them on every tour since '78 (except Steel Wheels) and the show I saw at MCI Center, DC (with Coors as opener) during No Security tour was definitely the best. Highlights were Memory Motel, Some Girls, You Got the Silver (with Keith playing acoustic, seated) and Paint it Black - just a manic version.

March 26, 1999 - Chicago at the United Center. That was my first Stones concert. It was wonderful! I would love to see the opening film again. I remember it started off with some security camera footage. It ended up showing the Stones getting in an elevator and making their way to the stage. Loved it! I took a pocket audio recorder with me, but the sound turned out distorted cause it was too loud and my recorder didn't have level adjustments.

Saw them in Hartford the night the UConn men's basketball team won the national championship. The crowd and the band were on fire that night. I remember them playing I Got The Blues for I think the first time since Marquee '71. They also dedicated Route 66 to Bobby Troup who had died a few weeks earlier. Then after the show, they put the final 30 seconds of the UConn game on the big screens and the place really went wild....

Yeah! The black and white intro film was the best ever. Great tunes. Ronnie was getting bashed alot during this tour because of his addictions. Funny I remember people putting The Stones down during this tour. Same old put downs. Now people praise them for this tour. Typical.

Ronnie himself admits that he was pretty much AWOL on that tour. The shows were generally excellent though despite that. Keith being at the top of his game and making up for his partner being MIA helped.

The winter weather here in the eastern U.S. made me recall the No Security Tour, a Stones tour so different than the ones we've seen in America over the last couple of decades.
It was indoor arenas in the winter instead of outdoor coliseums in the summer/fall, and while it was lacking the intimacy of a club tour, it was still better than sitting amongst 50,000 or 60,000, fighting traffic, etc.
And there were a lot of bonuses-
- Song Selection: "Some Girls" "Moonlight Mile" and "Get off My Cloud" were among the tunes dusted off and squeezed in with the warhorses.
- Opening: The short film of the Stones strolling toward the stage was far from awe-inspiring, but was enjoyable.
- Some of the opening acts were pretty good, especially The Coors (whatever happened to them?)
