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.

The stones have not played in most places since 2006. This is supposed to be a 50 year celebration and the prices they are charging are through the roof. I would think they should be able to play for 2 1/2 hours at least 22 to 23 songs each night for what we are paying.

An extra minute for Brad's guitar solo on Dead Flowers + 3 extra minutes for Midnight Rambler.
That adds up.

if the price tag is to steep for you then you will find 100 things that might add up to more worries. Like how many songs, how many MT are on, how many times Keith or Charlie are smiling, the guy next to you singing, the wrong set list, the rigged vote, Charlie not walking all the way up front stage last night (like he use to do), or Matt Clifford suddenly on Ronnie side, or the show starting as usual 8:55pm and not early start 8:45pm like they did 2-3 times. If needed I could make a list of 100 things that were unusual or out of order last night, or in fact every night, but is that how we treat our love of 50+ years?
I never rate my wife, kids or friends, and I never rate the Stones. I appreciate every moment, they might not be here next week or next year, but they are here now, still. And that makes me happy.

Do you think they keep a little taxi-meter on stage (down next to the drumkit, maybe) to clock up the $-per-song mileage, and when it gets to $600 then it's Game Over, thank-you-and-goodnight?

Yesterday I broke my rule of never drinking foreign beer so I ordered a Stella and it cost me $7. Like an old fart I was pissed off for like ten seconds because the domestics are $4 but then I said to myself why worry - my next one was Yuengling and that was fine at the regular domestic price. Too many worries makes no easy life.

I know this video has been posted before but here is my shot from the pit. Interesting moment at 4:03, Mick returns to the mic at the end of Ronnie's solo and kinda biffs him out of the way. If you listen closely you can even hear the guitars make contact. Afterwards Ronnie had this "oops" look on his face. Dead Flowers
