Man, I wish we had something substantial to discuss, like a new (solo) record. This 'debate' is growing tired.

A Stones concert is absolutely the "Greatest Show On Earth" and worth every penny paid. It's two hours of wall to wall emotion! Yeah, they may not be firing on all cylinders these days, but who cares, (outside of a few critics) they still deliver the "goods", the "goods" meaning a high energy performance that has their audience in a "state of frenzy"!

If you have expectations from a band that lost its edge years ago with the price for a ticket that should have a band firing better then ever before then the saying "a fool and his money are bound to part" comes to mind.
As do more redonkulous threads.

thewatchman..yea'.. I've said all this before but I'll say it again just for ya' because ya' new here.It's all to do with The Stones ticket prices.Right ya' go and buy a new or even second hand Rolla' or Ferrari ya' know they're going to be expensive ..and why are they expensive because they're a great motor vehicle..they're the Best..ya' go and stay a few nights at the Ritz..its common knowledge a few nights there does'nt come cheap..and why does'nt it come cheap because..they're the Best.The same applies to The Rolling Stones when ya' buy a ticket some of them don't come cheap and why because.. they're the Best.Its just the way it is ya' paying for quality.I don't have a problem with the prices of Rolling Stones tickets at all not like some fans here that are always banging on about it.Anyway whats a few hundred dollars every time a Rolling Stones tour comes around..ya' probably just waste it on something and have nothing to show for it..cheers mate.

When when the guitarists "can't play" and the "goods" are priced "higher than ever", then it is no longer "the greatest show on earth" and the only "state of frenzy" some of us are in is one of frenzied "disappointment".

A Stones audience in a 'state of frenzy' ? Huh?
Outside of the likes of Argentina, they're more likely to be in a state of incontinence due to their increasing age and infirmity.

Madonna tickets cost just as much. Is she also the best? And if Madonna tickets cost five times as much as Bob Dylan tickets (which they do) I guess that means Madonna is five times better and/or more important than Bob Dylan, right?

i didn't realize argentina was home to all the young stones fans.
but, yeah, i've been to a lot of stones shows, i guess i've missed out on all these states of frenzy. i get those at pogues shows, though....very fun.

Stones fans who continue to critically analyse every wee thing about The Rolling Stones members.. their music and how they perform.."will only have themselves to blame" if they feel disappointed about any future Rolling Stones performances that aren't up to their unrealistic expectations of a band thats being around for as long as they have.Because the everyday fan on the street are alot more understanding and if The Stones were to make a small mistake on the night..does it really matter..99.9% of the crowd probably would'nt of noticed it anyway..

Would wildly enthusiastic work better for ya, mate? Can't think of one live performance I have ever seen that wasn't at least that.
