Seriously... just frackin brilliant!!!!!
Where did this Keith hide for 10 years?
Great performance by everyone including Florence.
I agree. I wish I was there.
If you haven't already, you all should watch this version of an AMAZING performance. Florence Welch inspired and pushed the Stones. Watch Jagger, Richards & Watts' faces -- they are all locked in. Her brilliance and energy made them raise their game and showed that she's a very talented girl they still are the greatest rock n roll band in the world (at least on some nights...).
note to the stones: get a version of this on rollingstones.com, facebook, rolling stones app, etc today
Man!!! this one rocks ................
Nice observation rrronnie,I trust your opinion since i've seen a few show's with you.I've watched the video's and yes it sounds pretty unreal i can't wait to hear it live myself.GS sounded insane Keith was fabulous at the end sounded like the album version pretty much.Quote

Back in Germany after three great days in London. The concert was just amazing.GOOMC worked well as the opener and it sounded better than Sunday. So did IWBYM.The first numbers just worked fine and Lady Jane was performed so brilliantly. GS - what can I say? I thought Florence had problems to get into the song but then it improved and they did a fantastic rendition of that great song. Clapton just fit much better than Beck, Taylor played well but I wouldn't compare his contribution to this song to 72/73. After all it was more a good jam and definitely a historic event that we have been waiting for so long. The band played so much better than at most shows I saw them on the last tour. I even liked Miss you last night.I was so happy to be there and I want to thank my new friend Heart for Stones who helped me out with a spare ticket.

NO Plexiglass with Charlie, where was the setlist posted or was it even?

Fantastic version, just brilliant.
Why is Keith and Ronnie sitting way back by the drummer kit? They should all be out front. That ruined the visual of the song. What is the matter with these guys? No interaction, that scene is not very friendly. 50 years and they can't collaborate for a slow acoustical gathering at center stage.

Re comments on where each band member was during Lady Jane, This is similar to how it was when they performed it in 1966. The "teller of the story" Mick is out front
Brian was prominent to the left on dulcimer.
The staging of a live performance in concert is for the audience. The thought of all members of the band crowding together for Lady Jane would take away from the mood and the words of the song.
Sorry if people who are just as happy with videos seen on a screen can't control the staging.

I absolutely and unequivocally disagree. There is too much separation, they could have sat in those double circles on both sides just behind Mick giving everyone plenty of comfort zone. Besides the guitar parts are equally important to the song as the singing. This is practically the only song that this arrangement would have been possible on this night.
Without a doubt if that arrangement had Keith and Ronnie up front everyone would be talking about moment. Banishing the guitarists to the sides of the drum kit is plainly separation, they may have well been sitting on the steps off the back of the stage smoking a cigarette.
Did as well, but no decent curry yet. Got lots to read...Quote
