Although Bruce didn't quite fit on "Tumbling Dice" there was something real real and special about him showing his enthusiasm about being on stage with The Rolling Stones!
The Joy of Music is just as powerful for "stars" as it is for the audience.

Give Mick a break.
You think you would do a better job?

Get Off Of My Cloud - Fun track. A little rough but Ronnie was playing beautifully. Guitars too low in the mix.
The Last Time - WEAK. LAME. This is one of my all time favorite Stones songs. The version in 97/98 was FANTASTIC. This was more like the original and had that jazzy/Ringo beat instead of the train-going-down-the-tracks pacing of the 97/98 version
It's Only Rock 'n' Roll - Just fine. Good warmup song.
Paint It Black - Great version.
Gimme Shelter (with Lady Gaga) - All about the vocals. Gaga did just fine but looked stupid and detracted from the song. Bad choice but I'm sure it added a few thousand viewers to the PPV.
Wild Horses - Why not Moonlight Mile? As Tears Go By?
Going Down (with Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer) - Great performance but they should have split this up! Put Mayer in the set on Respectable!! HE NAILED THAT.
Dead Flowers - I'll take it. Let It Bleed or Around and Around would have been far better.
Who Do You Love (with the Black Keys) - This was a wasted opportunity in my opinion. Almost any other song would have worked better, but atleast they did a blues. Did anyone else find it funny that Mick forgot that they played this with Bo Diddley?? And he said he thought it was the first time they had played it live! HA! Senior moment apparently. Probably one of those moments where fans remember it better than the musicians...
Doom and Gloom - Love it! Need more guitars in the mix! Sound guy loves Darryl more than Keef/Ronnie.
One More Shot - The song just isn't any good. Had It With You, Under The Radar, She's So Cold, anything would be better here.
Miss You - Tired of it. So very tired of it.
Honky Tonk Women - Great song, nothing new here tonight.
Before They Make Me Run - FANTASTIC. Keith, best version of this song I have ever heard. Hats off to ya.
Happy - Where is the Keith solo? Just a little lick, nothing serious. Really wanted him to tear this one up.
Midnight Rambler (with Mick Taylor) - HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT. Nuff said.
Start Me Up - They should open up every show with this just to get it out of the way. I can't even begin to count how many times I hear someone in the audience say "here we go" when Keith hits the opening riff. As if the show hasn't started til they hear that.
Tumbling Dice (with Bruce Springsteen) - Bruce did not add anything to this. Love to see him smile, but he did contribute. The fish dance at the end cracked me up though.
Brown Sugar - Great version, but the guitars are still too dang soft in the mix.
Sympathy For The Devil - The first Keith riff is the highlight. After that I'm bored. I know it remains a favorite for a ton of people, but I wish they'd play something different.
You Can't Always Get What You Want - Ronnie's solo is the only reason I listen to this song. The choir is just fine.
Jumping Jack Flash - Boring.
Satisfaction - Boring.
Seriously guys I LOVE this band, but I'll take the bootlegs of the show on the 13th with Around and Around and Respectable to this whole show. Apparently I can no longer be entertained by the same songs for every single show.

Unfortunately, this is about as close as I saw Mick and Keith come to actually interacting during the entire evening. Really wish these two would find a way to patch things up!
Yes, the look on Mick's face says it all--that his relationship with Keith these days is purely professional and not personal. In the recent Nightline interview, Jagger was all smiles when discussing his exercise regimen, but soured to a reserved, almost tentative and frowning monotone when discussing Keith, mentioning that they have a "good...working relationship." Then Charlie also in the Nightline interview mentioned that their activity this year almost didn't happen. I think the IORR poster stonesrule was right when recently posting that Keith's Life memoir caused a lot more trouble and friction in the Stones' camp than they are publicly admitting to.
rolling eyes, I was in the pit (and close to the stage) for 2 of 3 shows I attended this tour and they interacted the whole concert long. Often smiling and exchanging a few words. I don't make out of that they are best friends, but there was zero indication of any tension whatsoever.
Sentimental old fool that I am I do hope M & K are getting on OK. I've always enjoyed the moments when they exchange a look or a smile.
To be fair haven't watched all the show yet but so far (up to I'm going down) Mick doesn't seem to have really interacted with the Stones much. They look a bit like his backing band.

OpenGSpot, interesting shot of Mick and Keith, bumping fists.
Do you remember what song that was from, or after?

Also, so nice meeting a few of you at the shows!
I preferred the 13th, fewer distractions from guests, and then too,
I was in the pit. Apparently I made the screen a few times, ha.
"Going Down" was good on the 15th, and "Rambler", again terrific,
maybe even better. Seated on the side near L'Wren, I saw
Mick sing directly to her more than once, such as in "You make
a grown man cry". Ah, love.
