The activity on this thread makes me sick.
What the hell is wrong with you people?
The Stones had a show last night, and all most of you want to do is Bitch.
Sad, Sad, Sad.

Thank you for IORR.

It was loud as f**k at the O2. Our ears were ringing after a telecaster assault in the pit.
Keith's sound on the PPV broadcast was a joke - like he was playing in another building.

You're right, the sound for the PPV was indeed a joke. However, I was at the live show and trust me, it was loud as hell, sound was just about perfect. I was shocked when I got home and watched the PPV I had recorded, didn't even sound like the same show.

BV, glad you enjoyed the Echoplex gig...always fascinating to hear of your adventures.
You must be exhausted. I was a little puzzled by your words "final cliche" quoting Mick..."You gave us love, hope and understanding."
Sounded sincere to me. Am I wrong?

May be I picked the wrong words. Remember I am not English spoken by birth. I felt he said it like partly a joke, partly in it's own meaning, and partly so that everybody should be happy, and like a good ending of an important event. It was more about the timing, at the final bow sort of. It was unusual of Mick, like he did many other small and a bit unusual things last night. May be I am reading more than there is in these small moments, but he was closer to Keith many times, he used a harmonica on Miss You, for me he was a slighly different Mick, nothing negative, just different. May be I have seen him too much, and I expect the exact same Mick on this tour too.

I have barely been online since I left home in Norway Friday morning at 3am. It is now 62 hours ago. My priority has been on getting to see and hear The Rolling Stones as much as possible, as close as possible and not to loose any moment of whatever they did here in LA. I never got time to make the countown or publish news, because distances are so big, both from Norway to California, also between locations here in Los Angeles. Jetlag and being ovewhelmed by the Stones and they North American tour start is still keeping me a bit knocked out.
Banana and Grolch beer for breakfast. Perfect match for the patched setlist I have in front of me. It has got a handwritten "Rip This Joint" as number 9, replacing Miss You, and may be they planned it that way, with Mick Taylor entering there already. It would have been just perfect. Anyway, I can't complain. Mick Jagger signing for 20-30 fans out at the rehearsals the evening before, as they left. I could see how the excitement and the intensity of the fans was in the air.
"We're going" Mick said. And they left. They came back for BS and JJF. He gave us a final cliche saying "You gave us love, hope and understanding". He talked about the lottery, and made a bit of fun of it. To many it was a nightmare, not much fun. And Mick Taylor was waving Keith forward several times. What a strange show. Mick and Keith was so close and smiling big smiles to each others many times during the show. Just that part paid off for the entire hazzle of getting there.
The Mick Taylor solo on Midnigh Rambler paralyzed me, I did not expect it to be that strong. He added something extra which we have been missing since he left, something that is unique to Mick Taylor, his style and his playing. Yet, Ronnie had a great and extended solo which stood out like no others, so I need them both. I am looking forward to the complete show at the Staples Center next Friday, this was just a taster...
