Don't know why you confuse enjoying a 2017-show with a comparison to a 72/73-show, as no one did that..
Hey, Dandee, mate. A personal note, from an online friend.
Don't respond to everything. All that counts to many of us, is that you and your friends
had a great time at the show. That is encouraging for us who are still looking forward
to having that experience.
Having a great time, that's what these shows are given for.
Not for recording videos on cellphones. Not for uploading poorly recorded songs on the internet.
Not for writing acid reviews of these videos on the internet. But only for the fun
of those who came looking for a night without any worries.
I could use some of your patience and understanding, mate
It's not easy, but if you try some time ... you would feel much better. Really, believe me Cheers

"Why a double negative makes a positive. (Mathematics)...
...I looked into why a double negative makes a positive.
Essentially, we must first agree that a negative number is simply a positive number multiplied by -1. In other words, to get the negative of 2, we multiply by -1. -1 * 2 = -2.
If we accept this as correct, then we can write the multiplication of two negative numbers like so:
-2 * -3 = (-1)(2)(-1)(3)
-2 * -3 = (-1)(-1)(2)(3)
-2 * -3 = (-1)(-1) * 6
So, the question is, (-1)(-1) = ?
The convention (-1)(-1) = +1 has been adopted because anything else causes the distributive property of multiplication to break for negative numbers.
For example, let's assume (-1)(-1) = -1.
(-1)(1 + -1) = (-1)(1) + (-1)(-1)
(1 + -1) on the left equals 0, so the equation can be written:
(-1)(0) = (-1)(1) + (-1)(-1)
Since we agreed that any positive number multiplied by negative 1 is the negative form, and that (-1)(-1) = -1, we can further simplify this:
(-1)(0) = -1 + -1
So:
0 = -2???
If we place any other number (apart from +1) as the answer to the calculation (-1)(-1) = ?, the same thing happens. This is why two negatives make a positive in mathematics."

Promising ... but far too abstract for this board. Let's try to bring it back down to Earth:
Let (Keith can't play) = -1
Let (Keith's on fire) = +1
So 1*(Keith can't play) + 1*(Keith's on fire) = 0.
(Where "0" is a neutral state in which Keith neither sucks nor shines ... kinda like Crosseyed Heart.)
Therefore, assume the following thread:
4*(Keith can't play) + 7*(Keith's on fire) = +3 (roughly equivalent to "Run, Rudolph, Run")
Or the following:
6*(Keith can't play) + 2*(Keith's on fire) = -4 ("Scarf Me Up" territory)
It should be fairly easy for Bjornulf to auto-assign a numerical value of +1 or -1 to each post and then to carry forward a running total. That way we could know at a glance from the Tell Me homepage whether a thread was running toward suckle or on fire and we could enter at our own risks and/or self-select the environment we were most comfortable in. Kinda like choosing between Drudge and HuffPo.

algebras easy, not always to get the answer in its simplest form but to understand the need for trying to find its simplest form, its not complicated to understand multiplying 2 negatives forms a positive.
unfortunately this dosent work with bank accounts.
if your in debt by 1 grand, you are - 1 grand.
if your partner is in debt 2 grand, she has -2 grand.
trying to multiply your 2 accounts together wont impress the bank manager.

Age brings negativity. Old people complain about the price of milk, birds singing in the morning, the neighbour washing his car on a Sunday, dinner being late, not being able to read the newspapers without glasses, the comlexity of Internet and mobile apps and so on.
Some complain about magazines and the world is so different, the weather was better before, and life was easier. Some remember their younger days when they were in love for the first time and they want this feeling back.
Sorry folks, we all get more and more grumpy as we get older. Nagging and complaining is what we are best at, when there is nothing else to do or to talk about.
A beer may be half empty or half full.
If you don't like the Stones anymore then why bother those who still enjoy them? It is like dumping yourv wife for a new one, and telling everyone how bad your ex was. It does not make any sense to me.

Having the read the reviews and the threads concerning the Stones tour, I am at a loss for words to explain all the negative comments from the Stones look old, keith playing is off, Mick is confused, Charlie is tired on the end, etc. etc. etc..
Well the reality is the Stones members are old. They are all in their 70's. Since they don't play together most of the year, it should be expected that are "rusty" and out of sync just starting a tour. I saw them back in 2012 in their first appearance in Brooklyn NY to kick off that tour and they were not that good. But they improved as the tour went forward and I am expecting that will happen as this tour matures.
I am 66 and still a runner since high school. However, it takes me a little bit longer to warm up and get into a 3 mile run. The Stones need more time to play together to improve their synergy. They changed their order of and added new songs to the play list which they have not preformed in many many years.
YOu nailed it, man. Nothing more to say!!! Let´s have a ball ev´rybody!!!
I would be thrilled to see the Stones again. What a rock n roll musical journey from the greatest rock band of all time. Enjoy ever moment while we can.

I heard some notes that were out of tune,
I heard some breaks that could have been better,
I saw Mick's not running as much as 20 years ago,
etc etc...
But hey, I can say I was very excited and happy on that great night in Hamburg
Excited to see them again in Amsterdam and Arnhem !
