How about the echo we could hear sometimes during the concert ? I think everytime Keith was soloing, they increased his sound level and his speakers... which reflected on the Hospitality stand, and created a very nasty delayed echo, everytime it occurred dozens of people around me all looked behind wondering "what the heck is this ?", i was quite close to the cat walk so I assume it must have been quite an annoyance to Lisa and Mick when they were there.

That was really annoying actually and as far as i could tell by the fence/catwalk, it was caused by monitors on the catwalk playing primarily the snare-drum but with a time-delay. I say that cos it only happend when Keith started to move towards the catwalk. The first time it happened i was watching charlie and thought "he's lost the timing", but although he did lose the timing once, it wasn't that, it was just it looked like he was out of time because his snare stick wasn't in time with the delayed monitor sound of the snare.

BUT, oddly it didnt happen every time mick came down the catwalk. It was a rogue delay-feed anyway.

Our only dissapointment was that Keith and Ronnie didnt come down the catwalk.

On "Miss You" they both did to make some plain posing...

I'm sure Scarf me Up will come out soon when an interviewer will put it to Keith.

oh, he was using in-ear i have now seen on video, so perhaps the snare was for keith, and it didnt work and hence he never came down the catwalk?

MaryNo, thank you. Being in close proximity to strangers for hours in very hot weather clearly requires everyone to behave reasonably and for the most part that is what I saw in T1 on both dates so well done to all of us.

I think the Stones know that punks like them - "No Elvis Beatles or Rolling Stones" was very obviously Bernie Rhodes nonsense when Mick Jones was clearly a total fan of Keith Richards and Strummer, Matlock, Thunders etc were all big Stones fans. The Only Ones guitarist John Perry has written the best book on Exiles..

And gotdablouse thanks so much for your HP recording. I converted it from FLAC to mp3 using ALL2MP3 and am hoping to listen tonight at home.

gotdablouse, no camera on a track between rail and catwalk on the 13th. But I think there were more cameras on stage to compensate.

Here is my review:

What a show in this second Hyde Park. The Rolling Stones were unbelievable and the crowd was wonderful. It was my 7th show in this 50 and Counting Tour and it was one of the best that I saw. I arrived the first in TIER 1 so I could choose my spot. I chose the catwalk very near to the front row. It was a very hot and hard day. Worst than Hyde Park #1! The hospitality Garden was a big success. The food was good. We could drink sodas or beer all day. They had cookies, ice cream, strawberries, etc. I became also a waiter. I brought many cokes to the security guards, and to the people who didn’t have the access to the garden. The ambiance around me was really nice. I was with many nice French people that I met there in TIER 1. Actually, the ambiance before the show in all the categories (TIER 1, 2 an 3) was really pleasant, cool. A wonderful atmosphere of British Festival.

The Stones began the show a few minutes earlier than Hyde Park #1. Start Me Up was better than last week but this song is not the best opening IMO. Emotional Rescue was a surprise and it was really good to hear this song in Hyde Park. Mick was amazing and the crowd loved it. Emotional Rescue works more in this disposition than in Arenas.

Street Fighting Man was the request song. I voted for it so I was in heaven when I saw it on the screen. This version killed! It was a perfect song to do it here, in Hyde Park front of 70,000 people.

Ruby Tuesday was a very good surprise and they did it perfectly. Here in TIER 1, everyone knew this song and was so happy to hear it. Ruby Tuesday was a little bit different than I heard in the past. I found it more romantic and emotional.

You Got The Silver was so moving. Very different that the 6 other shows I saw in this tour. Keith sang with his heart. He didn’t sing it perfectly but this is what I loved so much. Sometimes, he whispered some words that made this version very moving.

I remember during Miss You, when it was the time to the crowd to sing, generally we are not in time and Mick says “here we go, like this” and he shows us the way to sing. But this time he was so impressed that the crowd sang the “wouh wouh wouh wouh wouh…” perfectly on time.

There were so many highlights tonight like SFM or Ruby Tuesday but THE BEST highlight of the show was Midnight Rambler. The best version I have ever seen in my life. What a performance of the band, and not only Mick Jagger. All of them! Taylor, Keith, Ronnie, Mick, everyone! I was totally speachless during Rambler. I really want to hear this version again and again! This version has to be on DVD. I don’t have other words than AMAZING!

Gimme Shelter was excellent again but it was very very hard to have a version as good as Hyde Park #1 (I think that Gimme Shelter was the highlight of the first Hyde Park).

The rest of the show is perfect. They killed JJF and Satisfaction. And I will never say enough thank you to all the choirs I saw during this tour. They made YCAGWYW so much better than the others past live versions, before this tour. And to be honest, the choir of Hyde Park was in my opinion the best choir of the tour. Every time I see the choir during this tour, I imagine how good will be their memories. They are teenagers and they sang with the Rolling Stones!!!!! It can open doors in their music career.

I loved seing Mick Jagger running from the B-stage to the main stage during Satisfaction. After 2 hours of show and many many energy spent, Mick is still able to have a fast sprint. He is 70 years old. How can it be possible? There will never have another band like that. I am sure about it. The Rolling Stones are the greatest band ever! No doubt about it.

Now I am home with so many amazing memories in my mind. I spent a lot of money since December 2012 but it was worth it! This 50 and Counting was an amazing tour.

They look much younger than 6 years ago. What happened during these 6 years? Us, fans, we are so lucky because I was really not confident to see them again after my last show in 2007.

See you in October???

Notice that "Doom & Gloom" has 8,554,743 views on You Tube, for the time being. I suppose many people at her age have discovered the song from You Tube.

Were the 2 Hyde Park shows filmed and recorded ?

OK, but i still don't understand:

- the speakers back in the audience with a delay, i understand, that's for the audience only (none of the musicians will ever be there)
- as to Mick being on the cat walk, whatever the catwalk monitor play, he will still hear the stage's speakers with a slight delay... so how does this mess get sorted out ?
