We've all seen the UTUBES and many of us went in person... Which was the best show? I was in Brooklyn and did not feel shortchanged without Taylor but show #4 seems the tightest with the best setlist..

Agreed. Not a knock to Brooklyn, but that would definitely be the last if I were to rank them. I think 4 had a great combination of not quite knowing exactly what was coming next, John Mayer as a good guest, addition of respectable, tight performance, Lisa on Gimme Shelter. The first show in London was amazing because of the surprise but probably not the tightest. Night 2 lost a bit of magic but had some good changes and a tighter Wyman and Taylor.

I would rank it as: NJ 1, London 2, London 1, NJ 2, Brooklyn. (Possible tie between London 1 and NJ 2).

I like RollingFreak's assessment, as I attended the 2 shows he ranked first and second.

London 1 because we didn't know what was coming or how f*cking on the band would be,especially Keith.The unannounced entrance of Mick Taylor at the start of Rambler has to be one of the greatest moments EVER.

London 2 - Really hit there Stride

NJ 1 - For Around and Around -I think they manipulated the vote as I was only asked to vote for the PPV and Respectable , which summed up the spirit of these shows - Million note solos followed by the riffster walking to the front of the stage with a "this is how you play rock n roll" break to die for....go Keith !

Brooklyn

NJ 2 - too many guests IMHO

My order of preference will probably change completely over time

All the shows where on a level I never thought I'd see again from this band........Amazing, life affirming ROLLING STONES.
