Best: 1969
Worst: This One

Out of curiousity, tatters, did you catch the 1967 tour as well?

No, but I don't see how any tour where they only played for 30 minutes, no matter how frenetically, could possibly be their best tour.

40, to be precise

I just wondered. Would have been great to get a closer report on how the band sounded.

Best I've seen are 72, then 75

Worst was maybe 89?

Worst is the wrong word to use.

I think this one is very good, so far.

Needs:

1. More MT
2. Keith thinking outside the box on his solo set
3. Guests who are more prepared and more appropriate for the song
4. Less expensive tix

Very good points those needs!


In my opinion the best tours are 72/73 and 81/82


Not been there physically but Brussels Affair -73 and Live at Leeds -82 recordings are just amazing. I mean the playing is so energetic and guitar driven, I personally also like the unreal speed in the Live at Leeds.

The worst is maybe 2007 tour like many others have also said.

Not been there either but for example in Shine a Light the playing is not very good, and there are some youtube clips from 2007 where Keith is obviously drunk.

I've been to concerts in 1990, 1995 and 1998 and from those one I liked most the 1998 tour, but it's difficult to compare those because in 1998 I was in front of the B-stage and in other ones I was not at very good seats.

Mr More Hot Rocks phoned me and said that his keyboard isn't working, so he can only read the board today, but not post.
He wanted me to say that "the best tours were 1978 and 1981; as the band was REALLY letting it all out, and rocked like never before". The worst tours, he says, "are the oh-so-dull Vegas tours with all the safe arrangements and sub-standard guitar-playing. After Bill Wyman left, they never got it to swing"

That "Vegas tours" word is his, not mine, btw

Eric if i ever meet you I'll buy you a beer. Maybe two. And we'll toast to a great 50 years. Including 78 and 81.

That's how it should be, guys

Best: Licks Tour 2002-2003 because of great setlist and wonderfull playing, closely followed by the Bridges To Babylon tour.

Worst: The Bigger Bang Tour 2005-2006 (2007 was in fact not that bad even if Keith was a bit lost) closely followed by The 50 & Counting Tour 2012-2013 - boring setlist, bad versions of warhorses, bad drumming by charlie, too expensive tickets.

I'd love to see someone look Charlie in the eye and tell him be was drumming badly. And see his reaction.
