I react quick to whiner, and the whole fan thing. I assure anyone, when I was 8-9, in 1980, in WV, I received all kinds of white because I wasn't into Hall and Oates, or terrible clichéd country music. Picked on, made fun of, but I knew what was what. I earned mine, I guess I get kind of "Keith" uptight about it.....the blade...lol

Constructive criticism is always welcome. It's just that when certain individuals show absolutely no enthusiasm for the band as they exist today, and never have anything positive to say, it raises a red flag. I give credit to those that motivated Keith to get his act together for this tour.

Yeah...I get it. I am at fault in assuming we are all hardcore fans here. I do see a lot of good this tour, especially with Keith. The fall, combined with the meds...the drink, 2007 had some low points. The realist in me knows it can't last forever, so I am a bit desperate to do the 3 generation thing with my Dad and my son. I am actually thinking 2 pair of 85's. If we draw two pits, let the old man and the 18 year old go, I can rock out in the parking lot! Hopefully we can stick together. Plus we would end up with an extra to turn someone on to. Still be cheaper than 450$ on three marginal seats with no chance of upgrade.

I was across the street at the Philles-Nats game thinking about being ther on Friday! Can't wait!!!

would love if they'd picked if you can't rock - that's never ever been played outside of the medley, right?

wrong. a featured song at most licks arena shows

Yeah, it's the opener for the MSG PPV which is on FOUR FLICKS. And it's on LIVE LICKS but I think it's only on the Japanese version.

This is the performance that's on both FOUR FLICKS and LIVE LICKS:

SFM was the opener.

it may be true that there are a few who only complain, who never have anything good to say, I'll give you that.

But much of the criticism is legit and should not result in one's fan credentials being questioned. And all those people are painted, by some, with the same broad brush.

D'oh, you're right. IYCRM was the second song right?

sounds like fun. Did they play Stones between innings?

Can you tell me if it is possible to get a cab from the arena after the show . . . what's the best corner to try (on Friday)?

Just got back from the concert. They blew me away even with the stagnat setlist. They are a completly different band with Taylor on stage, more powerful, serious and just simply better. I read that they performed less songs tonight than previoulsy? It didn't matter. Midnight Rambler was extended and everyone in the band was feeding off the energy from the crowd. Keith seemed to shed years off himself, I swear he got younger as the night went on. I have see them on every tour since Steel Wheels and Mick's voice is in top form. They are incredible. This was the loudest that I ever heard them. Keith's guitar was screeching so loud on SFTD that it muffled Mick's voice. I liked the sloppiness of it all. Just an incredible noise. Charlie is a machine.

Is there a reason they dropped a song?
Did they start late?

A pity they dropped a song from the most intresting part of the show.

If they drop a song for a longer Midnight Rambler, that's great. They need a full out improvisational song like this.

I just wish they would give Sympathy For The Devil the same guitar treatment that they used to give it from 69 to the 70's. Now it's all percussion dominated it seems with sparse guitar.

The number one question following this tour will be - why the limited use of Mick Taylor? And enough of the garbage that's he no longer a member. Neither are Lisa or Bernard but they're on every song.

Lisa and Bernard, and Chuck actually, have been in the band 24 years - Chuck actually 33 years.

Taylor was in the band for just over four.

What I don't understand is how/why they trot him out for one number, send him back, then bring him out again, then send him back, and have him for the encore.
Just put his bloody songs together in a mini set.

awesome, glad you had a blast. your observations are similar to mine when i saw them on the west coast. it's a nostalgia show, but they are playing very well all things considered, with keith much better than in recent past and mj just incredible for his age.

What happened with Keith on Rambler?

Just before he was stopping the band he looked like he was in a trance or something Charlie sure didn't understand his "cue". Taylor and Ronnie were smiling.

Priceless!

BV you should have gone to the game last night. You would have enjoyed it.

I watched the hockey game Chicago @ Boston live on TV and I must say it was a great game and I would not have missed it. Don't have a clue about baseball, but it was on the screen next to my hockey game...

Few observations form my 20th career show

1. Little disappointed for the dropping of 1 song but hopefully we get 22 or 23 on Fri.

2. Rambler isnt 1 of my 7 or 8 top songs but was by far the best song they played tonight. That was awesome

3. Mick was on fire tonight. the energy for what ever age they say he is (i know 69) is amazing and actually looked closer to the Mick of 89. And how he gets uo for every show is just simply incredible

4. As for Mick Taylor. I would imagine he is having a blast being on the road again with the boys and I am sure they are making it worth his while for basically 20 minutes of stage time

5. Brad Paisley wasnt bad ( i am so not a country fan and couldnt tell you 1 song by him). Looking for a big name on Fri hopefully

6. Philly is known for being a blue collar yet intense crowd and I think Mick feeds off that tremendously.

Any thoughts?

Dead Flowers with Brad Paisley but never with Mick Tayor on this tour. Maximum suckage!

Tour is almost over and Mick Taylor was never given a real chance////Lets just hope he was generously compensated for what his playing w Stones in 2013 and for recording royalties 1968-1974 not paid after 1983 according to Mick Taylor in the Daily Mail 2009

what did he record with them in 1968? he was with the bluesbreakers then.

whats going on here? did they drop a song?

It sure looks like it, getting lazy at the end of the tour as they have done in the past.

Hate the way they do this every tour and usually drop another when they get to Europe. Is another five or ten minutes so hard to find the energy for? They don't charge any less as the tour goes on.

Re Brad Paisley, Chuck's wife, Rose just posted this on Facebook

Oh dear, another fixed vote. With a country singer as guest and Dead Flowers on the ballot I should have known not to waste my time voting. The alleged "retards" who vote for DF in droves just don't exist, do they. Not that liking DF makes you a retard - I quite like it myself, but being landed with it so often as the alleged winner of a fraudulent vote can put you off a song...

Why do the Stones do this when they have a guest, when the deception is so obvious? What's the point?

Or do all those hordes of zombie DF-worshippers really exist?

He he, DF is a nice song, but I really think the Stones should have played both DF as well as another of the songs you could vote for...

maybe I'm a zombie but I really like Dead Flowers - more than every single song from that list

DEAD FLOWERS - PHILLY 6/18

Sorry - I'd got as far as talking about the hordes of DF-worshippers and then Doom & Gloom kicked in and they became hordes of zombies... If they are, then I'm one too because I do like it - it just wins the online vote too often to be plausible.
