Granted....but if you can play MR or JJF, you can play Sway. I do wonder if this isn't Keith being Keith, "making it his"
Hi Gripweed. Not sure if you're talking about the 12th but it was far from a sub-par show.
Sorry KM , only a french can get this pun, but I couldn't resist >

Apparently this was one of the strongest shows for the whole band during this tour and especially for Keith, even SFTD seemed to be very good this time (based on a video), I hope they will keep the level! That IORR-opening thing seems to steal way too much attention here and doesn't give a right picture of the concert as a whole.
Is that really true??
How many guitarist does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to change the bulb and the other to say "yey, I can do that".
thanks for the link - my son wanted to hear it.
So Chuck has now been officially granted a full membership of the band?
he's the granter...it's his band.
He did say that "they" haven't played Hyde Park since 1969.
Ohhh, now I get it! That IS funny, gotta love Keith!
Talk about your favorite band.

Keith had nothing to do with Sway when it was recorded except for backing vocals. I would say his intro is his best interpretation.

"Christ, you know it ain't easy (being stonestod) You know how hard it can be... the way things are going, they're gonna crucify stonestod"... he seems harmless to me... some of you just seem a bit wound up after a sub-par performance... HEY!! they will be back on stage & may be more "ON" for the next show... I think we are all a bit over ANALIZING all of this, enjoy it for what it is

I was there last night and Rambler was a highlight. Jagger was great during the whole show, He is amazing. The whole band is. After attending a show I am tired of hearing all of the BS on this site that they can't play anymore. Especially in regard to Keith. Keith and Mick flubbed the opening of IORR but were very very good the rest of the show. Keith was really good on Gimme Shelter and dare I say SFTD. He did very little posing and I am mystified about some of the negative comments about his playing. I can't wait for tomorrow!

BOSTON — Do yourself a favor, if you didn't see the Rolling Stones' Wednesday night stop on their monumental 50th-anniversary “50 & Counting Tour,” cough up the $600 bucks and see them Friday night. Go ahead and declare it as a living expense on your taxes. You will be glad you did. And, who knows, this could be the last time. Maybe, the last time. I don't know, oh no, oh no.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are both 69, while Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts are 66 and 72, respectively. Even though they are at the age when they should probably be singing songs such as as “(I Can't Get No) Cialis,” “Midnight Rheumatism” and “You Can't Always Remember What You Want,” the Rolling Stones show no signs of rigor mortis settling in.
In fact, the Stones arguably haven't sounded better or more vital in years as they did during their triumphant, two-hour-and-20-minute, 22-song set (which included a three-song encore) Wednesday night at the TD Garden.
With an elaborate set-up to make the stage and the extending catwalk look like the band's infamous tongue logo, the Rolling Stones immediately and consistently showed why they are the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, and when it comes to song catalogs, they have no equal.
Jagger was at his lip-smacking best, strutting out on the outer-edge of the catwalk. There is only one Jagger. He is the quintessential showman and ultimate rock 'n' roll frontman, with enough energy to power a small city. Not only does no one move like Jagger, there is arguably no one in rock 'n' roll that is in the same class as Jagger.
Dressed in a sparkly black jacket, long black shirt, slinky black jeans and black leather boots, the skinny-as-a-rail (but, at the same time, larger-than-life) singer jumped right into the 1965 single “Get Off of My Cloud.” And Richards was right behind him.
With his messy gray hair shooting up in the air due to a snug bandana, Richards — wearing an unwrinkled gray blazer, green shirt, black T-shirt depicting a photoshopped “Mona Lisa” and black jeans — looked like he just rolled out of bed. That is, when he wasn't shooting off tasty guitar licks like a master. In fact, Richards seemed so pleased with what was happening around him that he showed off his pearly whites almost as often as his winning guitar chops.
The Glimmer Twins had the crowd on their feet and in the palm of their hands by the time they got to the evening's second number, the aptly-titled, crowd-pleasing, arena rock anthem, “It's Only Rock 'N' Roll (But I Like It.)”
Richards' performance of the opening riffs to the Stones' nihilistic masterpiece “Paint It Black” was absolutely sublime. That is, until Wood (“the ultimate sideman” and one of the most underrated guitarists in rock 'n' roll) unleashed a mighty roar on his guitar and Watts shook the rafters with his propulsive drum beats. With dramatic hand and body gestures to accompany his gut-wrenching urgency, Jagger gave an intense reading of the Stone's dark, trippy classic.
While the one-two punch of Richards' and Wood's duel-guitar assault was enough to make “Gimme Shelter” an evening standout, transforming it into a scorching duet between Jagger and powerhouse backing vocalist Lisa Fischer made the number a bona fide showstopper. Fischer belted out the tune with so much fiery passion that some of the people upfront are going to wake up to singed eyebrows.
With his cock-of-the-walk swagger in overdrive, Jagger took a few moments to address the crowd, saying it was great to be back in Boston and how Boston brings back a lot of fond memories, including the time former Boston Mayor Kevin White got the Stones out of jail.
Gary Clark Jr. joined the Stones for a heavy-duty cover of Don Nix's “Going Down,” which made the Texas blues guitarist and singer the latest guest-star to join the Stones onstage (others have included Arcade Fire singer Win Butler, Dave Grohl, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and Tom Waits). I bet Peter Wolf, who was wandering around the side of the stage prior to the show, was disappointed he wasn't asked to sing “Dirty Water.” Clark, Wood and Richards all took center stage with their guitar pyrotechnics and played like their lives depended on it.
For the request “Sway” (from “Sticky Fingers”), Brian Jones' replacement Mick Taylor (who played guitar for the Stones' during their fruitful 1969-74 period) joined Richards and Wood (who was Taylor's replacement) and proved that once you're a Rolling Stone, you're always a Rolling Stone. Richards gave his former bandmate an encouraging smile when Taylor let it rip with the roaring guitar licks.
Never performed in concert prior to the latest tour, the Stones' last day of disco foray “Emotional Rescue” sounded like it was meant to be played live, with Jagger's flawless falsetto meshing with the funky bass line. By the time Jagger was serenading the audience with, “You will be mine. You will be mine, all mine,” he was speaking the obvious.
The only songs that dated later than 1981 were the post-apocalyptic ditty “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot,” two numbers off the Stones' latest greatest hit package “Grrr!” Both were confident, arena-rockers with the snarly guitar licks, indelible hooks and solid vocals you have come to expect from the Stones' better material.
After the always dependable “Honky Tonk Women” had the crowd singing in unison, Richards took center stage, singing lead on “You Got the Silver” and “Before They Make Me Run.” The former had a back porch blues vibe with Richards and Wood both strumming acoustic guitars and Richards' weather-beaten vocals giving authenticity and intimacy to the lyrics. On the latter, Richards, who returned to electric, seemed to come alive, so much so that it magically appeared that some of his harshest wrinkles monetarily faded away while he was singing his heart out.
Taylor came back to the fold for the fierce and ferocious “Midnight Rambler.” Jagger's blistering harmonica was answered with a series of riff-shredding, awe-inspiring blues licks from the three guitarists and some mean slide (courtesy of Taylor).
Another memorable highlight was Jagger “Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh”-ing to the audience while Richards and Wood strutted their collective stuff on “Miss You,” from “Some Girls,” which was followed by an adrenaline-pumping “Start Me Up,” from the Stones' last great album, 1981's “Tattoo You.”
“Brown Sugar” is still as raunchy, politically incorrect and irresistible as ever. Not only did Jagger deliver the naughty classic with his signature, unabashed and in-your-face swagger, he was sporting jazz hands to the audience, which they rabidly mimicked back.
Sporting a furry cape that looked like he skinned a wooly mammoth, Jagger embarked on the darkened stage as a “man of wealth and taste” on “Sympathy for the Devil,” one of the great literary marvels and complex character studies to emerge from the rock 'n' roll era.
The Stones' encore was a triple treat, starting with a stellar “You Can't Always Get What You Want” (complete with the Boston University Marsh Chapel Choir), followed by a stomping “Jumping Jack Flash” (which is still a gas, gas, gas) and ending with arguably the greatest rock 'n' roll song ever recorded, “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.”

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
June 13, 2013Fourteen years ago, I covered the Rolling Stones at what was the FleetCenter and is now TD Garden and pondered the notion that Mick Jagger had to be rock 'n' roll's Dorian Gray. He was spry, lithe, ageless. He possessed a full head of dark hair, a babe magnet still as he exhorted the graying and well-heeled nation of Rolling Stones fans to relive their youth via his group's adamant decision not to be put out to pasture.
All I can say is: At 69, before a near-capacity crowd of more than 12,000 at TD Garden Wednesday night, he was all that and even more of a miracle.
Reservations: ticketmaster.com or TD Garden box office
Sure, on the HD large-screen video behind the stage (and when he came out on the semi-circular catwalk to prance and dance) you could see the cragginess of his face. But, really, no matter. Jagger and his mates – including the pirate-like guitarist that is Keith Richards, 69, and the ever stoic drummer that is Charlie Watts,72 – want to prove there is something both ephemeral and eternal about rock 'n' roll pleasure.
It's not unlike the attitude of the (mostly dead) blues guys they worshiped; they can bring their music to all generations and not succumb to self-parody. And they brought out young Texas blues guitar ace Gary Clark Jr.to jam on the Don Nix blues tune “Goin' Down” early in the two hour and 25 minute show.
Would I have swapped the two new songs, “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot,” for, say, “Lady Jane” and “2000 Light Years From Home”? In a nanosecond. But the Stones' catalog is immense, diverse and potent. So many choices. I can't really fault them for tucking a couple of newbies into a show composed mostly of greatest hits. While those new tunes are not keepers, they at least suggest that the Jagger-Richards songwriting team has not retired.
This was a generous and extremely lively set – 22 songs, with no ballads – starting with the pop bang of “Get Off of My Cloud,” moving through a slinky “Beast of Burden,” and then the Internet request winner, “Sway,” where they were joined by early '70s Stones guitarist Mick Taylor. Taylor also jammed on “Midnight Rambler” and the closers, “Jumpin' Jack Flash” and “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.”
How “Boston” was it? Jagger reminisced about playing here in 1965 and being bailed out of a Rhode Island jail by Mayor Kevin White in 1972 to rescue a Garden show. He brought out a Bruins jersey with JAGGER 50 on the back (this tour is called “50 & Counting”) before “Emotional Rescue.” Prior to Richards' vocal turn in “You Got the Silver,” he introduced the band, and Ron Wood,the spikey-haired second guitarist, was noted thus: “As Mayor Menino would probably say, 'Wonny Roods.” (The mayor famously scrambles famous names now and again.) Oh, and of course, in “Midnight Rambler” – bluesy, swaggering, ferocious still – Jagger sang, “You heard about the Boston …” letting us, in our minds, fill in the blank with “strangler,” before he sang, “Honey, it's not one of those.”
There was intermittent punchy sax work from Bobby Keys and Tim Ries and sublime backing vocals from their longtime duo, Lisa Fischer and Bernard Fowler, especially on “Gimme Shelter.” That song, written during the height of the Vietnam War, captured the chilling horror of armed conflict back then; it did so again Wednesday as fans could reference any of the numerous wars going on around the globe. It gave little shivers.
They skimmed a bit of cream from the early-to-mid-'70s – “Tumbling Dice” and “Brown Sugar” – and did justice to their disco phase with “Miss You.” Darryl Jones – Bill Wyman's replacement and Stones bassist since 1993 – played a monstrous, strutting bass solo in the latter. Their only real misfire was “It's Only Rock 'n' Roll,” as the guitar tag-team simply hit the wrong notes. But it was a pleasure watching Richards and Woods swap both smiles and rhythm and lead roles all night. When the Stones came back for the first encore, “You Can't Always Get What You Want,” the Boston University Marsh Chapel added the celestial backing vocals and pianist Chuck Leavell kicked the tune into overdrive.
Highlight? Many, but I'll go with the closing song of the regular set, “Sympathy for the Devil,” where Jagger took the stage wearing a feather boa over his skintight black outfit and an atmosphere of joyous menace engulfed us. With its incessant “woo-woo” background vocals and Jagger's pose as a man “in need of some restraint,” it remains, strikingly, the most original song in the Stones' repertoire, as well as Lucifer's best rock 'n' roll cameo. And he's had a few.

Any else catch the spectacular double rainbow over Boston upon walking into show Wednesday?...perhaps the most vivid rainbow I've ever seen. Of course now I'm thinking "She's a Rainbow", but fully knowing it would not be played.
At the same time while walking in, I notice what appears to be a baggie of buds
just laying on the pavement. Upon closer inspection, sure enough it is a bunch of weed and a pipe..I snatch it up and hand over to my show accomplice...it was then I looked up and saw that amazing rainbow. If anyone lost their weed on way in you can check the TD Bank Garden Lost & Found 
LoL.
Double Rainbow Pics Boston 6-12
Anyway, a fantastic first night. I had Balcony 328 Row 3 via the $85 lottery...which was just fine with me, knowing I have great seats for tonight. Seriously, the seats I had for Wednesday provided a good sightline looking down into the lions den from stage left. Sound up there was loud, crystal clear, and I had no problems there whatsoever. Great energy in the garden Wednesday and the Stones delivered. No play by play here as it has been covered by others, but I'd advise if you are still on the fence at all....GO!!!!!!!!! Youtubes will not do the experience justice. These are probably the only shows I see this year of anyone..I know I already made the best decision. Can't wait for tonight!

It's not unlike the attitude of the (mostly dead) blues guys they worshiped; they can bring their music to all generations and not succumb to self-parody. And they brought out young Texas blues guitar ace Gary Clark Jr.to jam on the Don Nix blues tune “Goin' Down” early in the two hour and 25 minute show.
Would I have swapped the two new songs, “Doom and Gloom” and “One More Shot,” for, say, “Lady Jane” and “2000 Light Years From Home”? In a nanosecond. But the Stones' catalog is immense, diverse and potent. So many choices. I can't really fault them for tucking a couple of newbies into a show composed mostly of greatest hits. While those new tunes are not keepers, they at least suggest that the Jagger-Richards songwriting team has not retired.
This was a generous and extremely lively set – 22 songs, with no ballads – starting with the pop bang of “Get Off of My Cloud,” moving through a slinky “Beast of Burden,” and then the Internet request winner, “Sway,” where they were joined by early '70s Stones guitarist Mick Taylor. Taylor also jammed on “Midnight Rambler” and the closers, “Jumpin' Jack Flash” and “(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.”
How “Boston” was it? Jagger reminisced about playing here in 1965 and being bailed out of a Rhode Island jail by Mayor Kevin White in 1972 to rescue a Garden show. He brought out a Bruins jersey with JAGGER 50 on the back (this tour is called “50 & Counting”) before “Emotional Rescue.” Prior to Richards' vocal turn in “You Got the Silver,” he introduced the band, and Ron Wood,the spikey-haired second guitarist, was noted thus: “As Mayor Menino would probably say, 'Wonny Roods.” (The mayor famously scrambles famous names now and again.) Oh, and of course, in “Midnight Rambler” – bluesy, swaggering, ferocious still – Jagger sang, “You heard about the Boston …” letting us, in our minds, fill in the blank with “strangler,” before he sang, “Honey, it's not one of those.”
There was intermittent punchy sax work from Bobby Keys and Tim Ries and sublime backing vocals from their longtime duo, Lisa Fischer and Bernard Fowler, especially on “Gimme Shelter.” That song, written during the height of the Vietnam War, captured the chilling horror of armed conflict back then; it did so again Wednesday as fans could reference any of the numerous wars going on around the globe. It gave little shivers.
They skimmed a bit of cream from the early-to-mid-'70s – “Tumbling Dice” and “Brown Sugar” – and did justice to their disco phase with “Miss You.” Darryl Jones – Bill Wyman's replacement and Stones bassist since 1993 – played a monstrous, strutting bass solo in the latter. Their only real misfire was “It's Only Rock 'n' Roll,” as the guitar tag-team simply hit the wrong notes. But it was a pleasure watching Richards and Woods swap both smiles and rhythm and lead roles all night. When the Stones came back for the first encore, “You Can't Always Get What You Want,” the Boston University Marsh Chapel added the celestial backing vocals and pianist Chuck Leavell kicked the tune into overdrive.
Highlight? Many, but I'll go with the closing song of the regular set, “Sympathy for the Devil,” where Jagger took the stage wearing a feather boa over his skintight black outfit and an atmosphere of joyous menace engulfed us. With its incessant “woo-woo” background vocals and Jagger's pose as a man “in need of some restraint,” it remains, strikingly, the most original song in the Stones' repertoire, as well as Lucifer's best rock 'n' roll cameo. And he's had a few.
Is that really true??

Great show despite what appeared to be a few minor technical problems and a few obvious (IORR into) and not so obvious mistakes. The band fought thru them and played a fantastic set. The energy and intensity of this band is astounding.
My 1st time in the pit -- which was a real thrill, but a bit of a challenge since I'm using crutches because of a serious foot injury. Thanks to all the big Stones fans and good people standing by me who helped me out. I appreciate it.
Only a few more shows left -- if you haven't seemed them on this tour, find a way to catch them tonight or in Philly, DC or London.
Here are a few pictures I took:

there's nothing complex about sway, for crissakes. 3 chords. i've seen lame stones cover bands play it better than the stones do.
So why do you waste your time with the Stones then?
dont waste your time and energy on StonesTod Bjornulf. He is a lunatic and not a stones Fan. Forget about him.
Stonestod is a waste of time.

Sure I have "friends" i.e. people I do know who claim they can play better than Keith. I hear what they saying and I do always smile when they say so. Some times the ego is bigger than real life.
How many guitarist does it take to change a light bulb?
Two. One to change the bulb and the other to say "yey, I can do that".

Really wonderful photos, thanks GS1998!
Keith's t-shirt is very cool looking, does anyone know why he's wearing Mona Lisa?

This was an amazing show on several levels; Sway was incredible with back up vocals by Lisa and Bernard and I disagree, I don't think the band let Mick Taylor just float out there in space alone. He was doing his thing and they let him, and it was well done. No, not lick for lick like the studio version but very nice! It took my breathe away. And, never a fan of Emotional Rescue, this song was great LIVE!! And then seeing Lisa doing a KILLER Gimme Shelter and MT on the encore, Satisfaction...well, I was in Heaven!

I find the fact that they sometimes botch the intro to IORR funny it is simple riff and they get it wrong. Friday they got it right. However, they are somewhat like a professional golfer in that regard their recuperative powers are beyond us it kind of kicks them in the ass and they recover the song and play better. Hey ragged Stones sound is what we all really liked about these guys in the first place.
