The Stones 89 New Orleans show was the toughest Stones ticket to date. The show had sold out in three hours. I was down front for the 78 and 81 show, but these were reserve seats. Our seats were dead center, but on the very top row of the Dome. I believe during Miss You, Jagger, dressed in the goldish / green short jacket of that tour, came down to the floor to get the crowd to sing along on the chorus of Miss You. It looked like he had planned to wander farther along the crowd lines, but the crowd surge scared him and his security and he made it back up to the stage. I was wondering if they could still cut it. It had been a very long time since 1981....when they came on with Start Me Up....it was all over. What a triumph! Better than ever. I love all the tours, but what a grand and glorious way to Get Back!
