They played way above my expectations.

mine too....although, in fairness, i believe my expectations were way below yours.

So; how much one appreciate a Rolling Stones show is basically depending on what expectations one have....
How low were your expectations on a scale -10 to +10 ? Do you think other people with higher expectations than you will lower their real expectations when actually attending a show because they know that it will make them able to praise the concert and still having an interest in the band, instead of having to modify their future expectations into the negative scale, and therefor just has to find a new hobby?

That's a lot of comments to go through. All I want to know is which songs they performed.

Hi all,
I'm glad to join the forum!


I was part of the lucky ones who were able to go without a ticket trabendo just before the concert!
Je ne sais pas a qui nous devons ca, les organisateurs ou les Stones eux même. Mais quel geste !! Il m'a fallut quelques minutes pour vraiment réaliser que ma patience et ma perseverance auront payé (j'étais passé la veille au trabendo grace au blog de zegut, j'étais arrivé trop tard au virgin pour avoir une place).
Une petite bière et direction la gauche de la scene coté Keith !!
1h15 de show incroyable. Mick en plein forme, sautant, faisant quelques blagues, entraînant le public. Keith était un peu en retrait et c'est Ron qui a assuré quasiment tout les solo. Charlie top comme d'hab.Un super geste de Keith à la fin qui est allé chercher Charlie pour que l'ensemble du groupe remercie le public. Son très blues et setlist de rêve !!



Petit clin d'oeil au gars qui a fait la vidéo, j'ai la chance de le connaitre !!

Hello all, as a disgruntled stones fan i enjoy this forum and reading people's opinions&reviews. I too see chuck leavell as the antichrist, and the horn section makes me want to vomit with considerable force.

Why i'm posting is that i'm not buying that keith was drunk on the 2007 tour & that's why he sucked. I still enjoy the stones for the cringe factor on youtube. What's the most alarming to me is how much keith and ronnie omit these days. Integral guitar parts& intros just implied rather than played. It's strange to watch. Along with the songs all slowing down. Anyway, i know i'm not covering new ground. Can't wait for more footage of these shows on the youtube. Nice forum you have here.

why such a nasty reply? Cave? Troll? The guy was just giving his opinion. Wow real "cool"

Welcome, bienvenue !

Great that you could come in like this! Based on what I saw when I got in, i.e. not that many people in the queue, I wonder if they didn't actually let in everybody that was waiting in line without a ticket? I'm wondering though, why were you queuing up if you didn't have a ticket?

In French just in case : D'après ce que j'ai vu quand j'ai eu la chance de passer le premier barrage parmi les premiers il n'y avait pas tant de monde que ça dans la queue, donc les 50 personnes rentrées sans billet représentaient peut-être tous ceux qui attendaient dans la queue ? Question quand même, pourquoi faisiez-vous la queue sans avoir de billet ? Il y avait eu des indications disant que ça pouvait être utile ?

@riverat - this pic is now my phone's lock/background screen, reminds me I was really there ;-)

Gotdablouse--You are sssOOO lucky to have been able to go to the Stones' 50th Anniversary Club Show with just the small band without all the extras in a small, intimate environment, like when they started out! And the first time they played out in 5 years. That is every Stones' fan's dream come true. You must be on an adrenaline high still. You should always keep that pic as your background screen!

And to everyone else who calls themselves a "fan" who has the balls to diss the Stones, you need to listen closer to the lyrics of IORR, 'cause you still obviously just don't get it and you should be banned from all shows except for their F OFF Tour. Those tickets are for free. Some people just can't be pleased. Try appreciation and gratitude for a change. I'm thankful they all survived the 1970's, are still ALIVE and kicking, around AGE 70 themselves,and still writing and playing, and above all, still TOGETHER! Most bands can't keep it together due to their personal battles. Thanks to Mick and Keith for laying down bitterness and pride and picking up forgiveness and humility. WE are the beneficiaries of that. They're ok financially. They don't need us as much as you think. They're doing 2 clubs, 4 arenas w/ 1 on PPV, and hopefully a stadium tour after, God willing. That's what everyone here has been asking for. So, THANK YOU ROLLING STONES! You're awesome!

He's got a point. Ronnie's lead in Shattered has been the same now since the Bang tour and now the Paris show - he plays the first lead and then the next stanza does the riffs, both times around. What happened to playing the entire lead? Same thing as what's on SAL.

No guitars, really? What are you talking about?

Come on Dandy: this is poor quality! Don't be selective deaf.

I wonder why a newbee on this board calls me selctive deaf because I like something? Really?

Musically and historically I know more about the Stones than most people I know of, and I´ve proven that. I don´t need anybody to tell me what I think should be good or not when it comes to the Stones.

I´ve heard ridiculous trainwrecks of JJF from all eras; 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979(!), 1981, 1982, 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007 before this version - that we heard a one minute clip from at the end of the show.

If I like what I hear (and see), it is because I´m really impressed by the magic this bunch of 70 year olds still can create, although in smaller doses than before.

If you or other guys here only judge the Stones from how good the guitar solos are, I´m vowed by your short term memory. There is no guitar solo on the original JJF-version, and it stands as a rock among popular music recordings of all time. Think of that - just for a second.

A bunch of 70 year olds (that IS what they should be judged by anyway) playing our favourite music (that´s why we post here, right?), maybe with some former band members guesting later on - what more can we ask for?

I'd echo those sentiments exactly.
(..although I've only been witnessing JJF trainwrecks since 73...]

I loved it, was so cool to hear JJF without all of the back up signers for the first time in decades!

You see the small capital t and the big capital t up there when you're typing? That is your font size.

At the end of the day so what. I sincerely believe you guys would vote to slaughter your grandmother if she failed to make the Yorkshire pudding like she did for Boxing Day in 1967. I can hear rants of kill the bitch echoing from the dining room.

It has been a great run; I don't understand why everyone wouldn't appreciate the opportunity of seeing them one more time. We all know we are not going to see a young Keith Richards solo on SFTD like the one in the urban jungle video. But at least he is there.

I will agree the ticket prices’ have placed a bad glow over this entire show. I believe from the majority of the posts this type thing was to be expected. I really don't think the talent actually has a much control over that as some of you might believe.

One more observation of the Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor issue. I keep hearing the "Only if" crowed almost beg to see these two reunion. But what if they play badly. Miss a chord or note, maybe can't follow Chucks tempo count in. I can here you guys now. “Worst performance in the history of the world. The sound and playing not what it was when they were 26.”No shit folks.

I plane to be at the NJ Saturday show. If I have to lurk around the venue the night of the show, then so be it. Give them a break, unless you have already chopped up your Grandparents.

It is what it is and I say thank you for the opportunity.

It's amazing what you can do if you pay attention to the format ribbon at the top of the box where you draft your Post

Not Only size, but Color and FONT

It seems to me, although appreciative of videos posted of Paris, the sound is somewhat trebly unlike how they would normally sound in presence. Of course, sound was cpatured by Telephony. However, Band seems tight at this point, and will improve as tour chugs along. I wonder if they wil have a big Gorilla on the side of stage just as the fire breathing snake was presented during the VooDoo Lounge tour?
