It was great hearing this one with Keith so strong on vocals at the 6/14 Boston show. So far no repeats on it and DC 6/24 is the last on this US tour leg. Great song, I had forgotten how strong the vocals and lyrics were.


What is the odds it will stay on the one hits wonder list for this tour?

Well 6/24 is in the books so the lucky ducks include me and my wife got the only performance of Memory Motel, 6/14 Boston. Speaking of ducks anybody that went to Boston notice the number of duck boats driving around on the streets giving tours? Enough to repeat WWII I would think.

Yes, I was one of the lucky ones to be at that Boston show but I sure would have loved CYHMK too! I AM greedy but I think that with MT in the line-up, it was a SIN not to have him play EVERY NIGHT on this song! ( and for what I paid for tix, I feel I deserved a few more deep cuts!)

In case you want to re-live the moment or for those who were not there:

Thanks Steverogan. I don't get why they'd actually cut a song from the set list instead of adding songs as they go along. Just glad the Boston shows were rather long and very high-energy sets. You never know what you'll get at a Stones show...guess that's part of the fun!

Agreed. I was greedy and wanted CYHMK as well to make it my perfect Stones night. They had my other all-time favorites in the set.

I just read something disturbing about MT seeming out of it before he came on to play Satisfaction....it's a thread here on IORR...I'll have to look up the name of that thread but the gist of it says MT seems disoriented, and came on late to join in the finale....they said they didn't think he was drunk, just not too coherent..so that may be why they cut a song from the D.C. set list....it may be they intended MT to play on CYHMK..

Was that you throwing your bra on stage in protest?

If that was the only time they play Memory Motel on this tour, it'd be ok with me. They did it beautifully.

During the first Boston show, Mick T stayed behind Charlies drum kit because he was bitching about his monitor. That man has a lot of quirks with regard to his equipment. I saw his solo gig a couple years ago in Northampton and same thing he was blowing a gasket about the monitor.

LSTNT, I was watching MT behind the drumkit on June 12th and wondered what was going on...so, are you thinking that he looked disoriented because he was upset about his monitor? That would actually be a relief, rather than thinking he might have been over-using some substance!

Yeah,maybe over-using some substance like food...

He was upset about his monitor either being too low in the mix or off.
