I can't believe that people actually break it down like this working out the cost of the show per minute to yourself,have you not got an ounce of romance in you.
Get your ticket and have a fantastic night watching the greatest band in the world or maybe you prefer to sit at home and do some bookkeeping.

I found only one or two songs actually sucked the last time I saw them...disappointing as I was really looking forward to them. They were Doom and Gloom and Rocks Off.
I think D&G could work live, but I haven't heard of a recent version of Rocks Off that came off well.
Well, with some bands the singers actually sing instead of hurl grunts out like Jagger!
Whaddayamean, what? That's just a fact!
the stones fans i know in "real life" (not IORR) who saw the show all said it was amazing.
Sorry, but you have the wrong poster, I didn't say he grunted. I like Mick Jagger and the way he sings. I am one of the people here who actually likes The Rolling Stones, past and present.

Length of Shows--90 Minutes???

So I am in the middle of making travel plans to go to the Stones' Pittsburgh show and now I have put a halt on all plans! I just read the reviews from the Petco Show and the band plays roughly 90 minutes....break that down to cost per minute...over $10 per minute...that includes the cost of ticket, hotel, and travel expenses...AND the set list is NOT awe-inspiring. AND no Mick Taylor and NO Bobby Keyes...I think I need to rethink this.
Was anyone really disappointed in the show? I know the man who wrote the second review here sounded disgruntled. I doubt that BV would ever be negative here on IORR. ( or ANYWHERE where he would be discussing a Stones show). I just don't want my last show to be a downer.

Petco was 2 hours 15 minutes. The 90 minutes in the review section hasn't been updated from the club show review. (I'm sure that will change though.)

No, I am glad you corrected the running time of the show! And NATE, of course I have to think of the cost...and all that's involved in this ordeal. I live in the BOONIES and it is a huge effort. The big thing for me is the outdoor venues. Romance!? Stadium shows are NOT romantic in the least. If you're not a drunk, you spend your time trying not to get beer dumped on you, jostling with people in YOUR space etc. Believe me, I have had romance with the Stones...this may not be one of those times.
Thanks rebelrebel for the correct running time of the show. I still may go, depending on the friend who is the driver!

Will you also pull out the stopwatch to track the length of the breaks between songs?

I am quite amazed that they are still doing 135 minute shows... and every time I read a review of some new artist playing only a 65-75 minute show, I think of my Great Rolling Stones and smile.

It's good that his name is in the clip title, I thought that was Ghaddafi for a second.
But yeah, that kind of stuff.

Oh, just go. It'll be fine. Some songs will suck but it's worth it for those moments when they come together and you're watching The Rolling Stones again.

Pretty sure the contract calls for 1 hr. 45 minutes. That's pretty typical for headliners these days anyway. Anything less and they risk getting paid fully, anything more and it's a gift.
mickschix, judging from your name you are a big Mick fan and from my perspective he is really singing and performing well. It would be a shame to miss the show, at least the one we saw last night. It was indeed great, I promise you.
I don't know how I would have felt if I were in a place the sound wasn't good or I couldn't watch the fretboard work of the guitarists. Stadium shows are just like smaller venues when you're close enough, but I certainly understand your concern if your seats are far from the stage. For me the show is in the first 20 rows or not at all, these days. We were 6th row center for this one. I kind of felt sorry for people like roller99 in row 1 with the security guard presence and even worse for people in the first couple rows but waaay over to the side. It seemed like they probably paid big bucks and the stage was really wide with big screens almost blocking the views from over there. Can't even imagine what it was like in the farthest upper sections, probably like watching a video with 39,999 friends and the volume turned way up.
peace

Rockman, you dream big! I love it! You probably right about going commando...FREE at last! I am not in a pissy mood anymore. And I am the first to defend the Stones but thinking it was a really short show ( short for your typical Stones show), did not make my day. And we ARE spoiled because for many bands, 90 minutes is the norm.
Leonioid, must be YOU haven't seen the Stones in quite a few years. The last tour that Mick grunted the lyrics ( and that's YOUR opinion, not mine), it was '75...and STILL he danced circles around the competition. Guess I talked myself right back into going..on with the SHOW! Thanks all!

If you read my report you will see that the show lasted 2 h 15 minutes. It was a short copy&paste glitch but it isa fixed now. You can not play 20 Stones songs in 1,5 hours...

I was at the San Diego show and they played for well over two hours almost until midnight. Worth every freakin' penny! If you have to break down your expenses to dollars per minute, you should probably skip going to a show if you're going to stress that much over money. Money is meant to be spent on the things you want and love to do. Go and enjoy the show! Buy lots of merch!
Cheers!
