Don't know if it already happened on the first O2 Show but it would be great to see the Portraits of BJ and IS shining on the Second O2 Show while the RS play one of the Sixties Rocksongs...
Cheers

Okay yeah, I'm pretty sure Keith hasn't done that lick at 3:38 in probably 20 years...in ANY song.
You're right! Keith rocks better than ever!
Thanks by the way for posting this great video

Fantastic, show last night, I managed to get a tongue pit ticket for £200 just 15 Mins before show time. I'll share with you how I managed to get so lucky.
I tried to get ticket's for Sunday's show first. I went to seatwave outside the venue and I was offered a general ticket for £100 ( the ticket was unclaimed) as the show was just about to start inside. I was offered the ticket because I walked into the office thirty seconds in front of a girl right behind me about two hours previously.
We both had been there for waiting to see if we could get lucky. The ticket offered was the very last one, they had. I Saw this girls face and I could not bring myself to take the ticket, so I done the decent thing and offered her the ticket (The ultimate sacrifice!!!!!!)
The girl had never seen the stones and I have many times down the years, and i thought "oh what the hell", she deserves it.... One very happy and grateful girl left the office and made her way to the venue.
For my sacrifice I was given a beer from the office fridge (Happy day's), by a member of the booking team for my kindness. I mentioned I would try my luck Thursday, i figured I got nothing to lose right!
I got to the office again last night and it was packed with people trying to buy online. The same member of staff saw me and at around 15 Min's before show time after all online sells had been completed, I was offered a tongue pit ticket which was unclaimed for £200!!!!
I was in dreamland to say the least!!!!!!!! Just goes to show one good turn deserves another. The rock n roll god's were looking down on me, so thank you all so much and also to the fantastic staff member who also played a part in providing me with the ultimate ticket.
I've seen the Stones countless of times all around the world since my first show at Wembley Stadium aged "21" on the Voodoo lounge Tour. Some amazing experiences and some wonderful friendship made in that time watching them followed.
Watching them from where I was standing last night reminded me of the countless hours queuing up 10 hours before show time to get down the front, when It was so much easier to get ticket's and get around and see them.
The show was amazing (But that's just par for the course i guess) and I saw some very familiar faces from stones gig's from the last 15 years!!! The Last time ??? Somehow i seriously doubt that!!! This ride aint stopping yet my friends.
Hope you all loved the show, those who were lucky enough to be there and for those he weren't as lucky, keep the faith and keep persistent and you will receive the ultimate prize, to see the "Greatest rock n roll band in the world!!!!

It's still so amazing and unbelievable to see how in shape Mick Jagger is. Guys, this man is 69 years old! He is in a better condition than an average persone of 25 years old!
Deeply respect for that. Rock on Sir Michael Philip!

A quick review following my essay on the ticket drop thread of how I actually got into the gig.
I didn't go on Sunday, as I had something else lined up, but deliberately avoided checking anything on youTube or here on the site. I had read the reviews, but still wanted to come to the experience fresh, as it were.Therefore I'm not in a position (yet) to compare Florence with Mary J or Beck with Clapton.
Really enjoyed the first four songs dating from mid-60's. Gimme Shelter sounded great to me - Florence was certainly matching Mick for both vocals and moves. Lady Jane was most welcome, considering it and Satisfaction were dropped Sunday night. Eric certainly proved his mettle on Champagne and Reefer - first time I've seen him playing with them. One More Shot worked better live than the studio version, while Doom and Gloom (which I think is a much better song), was less impressive, I'm afraid. Seeing Bill again was cool...but didn't really add too much from my perspective. He just stands there...but that's what he always did, I shouldn't have expected anything different, I guess. Keith's numbers were pretty good, but pretty much par for the course. MR was certainly the highlight for me - Mick Taylor, who I have never even before, was a revelation, what a superb player. Nice to see him join in the final bow with the rest of the band - funny Bill wasn't in that line-up? The warhorses to end with were predictable, but hey, I'm sure there were a few first-timers in the audience. I heard of someone from Israel that saw their first Stones gig on Sunday...and didn't get to hear them play Satisfaction!
Some people have mentioned they miss Blondie...but I certainly don't. Nothing against the guy, but three guitars is just too much. OK for one song, if Mick Taylor is playing, but not all the way through.
Overall impression for me is that Mick Jagger is still the frontman par excellence, he pretty much carried most of the gig as far as I was concerned. Charlie was as good as ever, of course!
Finally, well done CamdenRamber, I also scored a last minute ticket from Seatwave, but you got a much better deal. Karma paying you back for your good deed on Sunday, no doubt.

Just watched the Gimme Shelter video, it seems like Florance Welsh put a lot of energy into the song. Too often, the female guest including Lisa play the sexy game With Mick. From what I have seen, Florence was a bit more energetic, I like that !
