Hi Max! Mediocre because of Miss You, Start Me Up and a few too many over played war horses. I expected as much but still hardly a risk. I'd have preferred Rocks Off, Ventilator Blues with MT, and some California country-ish stuff, maybe 1000 Light Years from home and at least one never before heard song or jam to surprise and delight. I've just heard all those tunes played live so many times I was hoping for a change. Besides I always hated Emotional Rescue.., lol.
If Bill Wyman was playing bass I might have enjoyed the disco tunes for that fact alone!
I was just saying medicore might be the wrong term. I might suggest "middle of the road", "average good", "typical great Stones"... because we should know our Stones by now, and we know they are not going to play little known songs, so we (actually those of you who were lucky/skillfull/fortunate enough to be there)(you have no idea how much it suks for me to be missing these LA shows) should be just very happy to hear them playing any Stones songs at all. It is all bigger than a set list, It is bigger than.... well you know the deal.
Good to see you posting NL, happy all is well with you.

I hate to say it, but these Stones are the laziest bunch of musicians I've ever seen.

There in lies our quagmire. They insert two songs "Lady Jane" and "Factory Girl" and guess what, it really works. Not only does it work but they blow it away with ease. This tour should be a 30 song tour to accommodate such a mix of shorties. (songs under 3 minutes). Instead they opt for the run for bus line of warhorses that have staled this tour once again.
I hate to say it, but these Stones are the laziest bunch of musicians I've ever seen. To charge people hundreds of dollars and absolutely no diversity to their song list is just plain ignorant. Where is the fun and interaction on stage? It looks like a bunch of solo artists playing a benefit.

Pushing themselves at 70 years old do you really think that they are going to stop doing what works pretty damn good for them. I beleive that they enjoy playing what they play and its raked in billions of dollars. Are you really expecting this band to push and create at this point??

It's great to know that so many of you who have posted in this thread are slim, handsome and authorities on health and music.
Maybe it's just me but I think the tacky and cruel remarks re Mick Taylor's weight are unnecessary. We know that he's had medical problems. Does the guy have to disappear or die to please you?
I'm disappointed in BV -- seemingly the ultimate Stones fan -- and his willingness to let the constant attacks on Mick Taylor go on and on and on...
