Columbus 1997 sticks to me mainly because of Satisfaction rumbling through that stadium and the fact a friend of mine and I drove from my college in Shippensburg, PA to the show and drove back afterwards. I probably could have listed multiple moments for each show. Frankly I'm shocked I never found my way to Cleveland for them.

The completely fresh Keith set was my best memory, that was great! C-bus was too ate up with football.... In Cleveland, radios stations play deep cuts and interviews non stop, all day. Downtown, even the cops lay back, "be careful, watch your step sir...have a great time at the show tonight..." too cool. Shippensburg, hmmm, A good friend of mine played football for them, like 91'-95' I think.....my boy Joe Topichack, cool!

It's funny you mention the cops. During Sister Morphine I watched cops go after these two kids for smoking weed with billy clubs drawn!

At the risk of being accused of whining – a popular phrase around here for when people who love the band dare to think critically of them -- I can’t help but feel a little sad today. Tonight is my 36th show and I am left thinking it’s the last time. The journey that began on a beautiful Monday night in Giants Stadium on August 15th, 1994 appears to be winding down. I was 19 and remember clearly Mick rising out of the stage for Not Fade Away. I simply couldn’t believe the Rolling Stones were in front of me. With age comes cynicism but I relive that feeling every time I see them.
So many great memories:
- Baltimore 2006 when Mick looked me dead in the eye and smirked while I was doing his moves during Start Me Up.
- Syracuse 1998 was the first time I was ever really close and for weeks afterwards I told everyone who said that Mick was ugly they were wrong.
- Paying for one of those ridiculous packages in 2002 to get into the Tower Theater because I couldn’t accept the fact I wasn’t going and unworthy people probably were. That was validated by the people in front of me.
- The crowd reaction to As Tears Go By at MSG in 2006.
- The rumble of Satisfaction at the Horseshoe in Columbus in 1997.
- 115 different songs but, sadly, no Sweet Virginia.
I still believe that they could do more on these shows and firmly believe that people don’t need to know every song at a show to enjoy it but I’m grateful for everything they’ve done. My wallet isn’t but oh well.

The 02 on 29 November was my last. I feel at peace with that.

Winter, I'll be interested in your reaction to the DC show. I ended up going to Philly 1 on a whim, though I saw two other shows before that this year. Landed in the pit from an 85, you get what you need.

I felt at peace after the O2 in 2007 but the show rolls on and we have to go! I thought of retiring from Stones Shows but I'll "never stop, never stop"!!

I was walking up to the will call line and I heard some hooting and hollering, looked over and saw this lady with blond hair and a very cool hat and knew right away it was you, angee. I figured you had to have gotten the pit. Very glad you got what you needed
