The entire decade boiled down to 5 singles...

Somehow "Like a Rolling Stone" from Stripped was omitted

The Stones were a fantastic band in the nineties. They played great concerts in this decade. They did two decent albums in this decade and a wonderful livealbum. This era is underrated. lhey were no nostagia act back then, they became it in 2002.

yeah, great decade, luckily we had the stones around when we all thought it was over....

Retrospectively, they were a nostalgia act even in the 90s. Of course, then we didn't think that. We were hoping for the best and didn't know what was ahead...

1st time I saw them...

Best tour IMHO was BtB

Great stage and the last tour when Keef was on every night.

The Voodoo Lounge tour was great:
they did a couple of songs they never did before like Monkey Man, like a Rolling Stone, or songs they didn't play for years like Heartbreaker.

They also did in Europe in '95 four clubgigs, which were realy great.

The BtB tour was automatic pilot work all the way.

It's 4 songs. Almost Hear You Sigh is from '89. No Security was their on stage peak as a quartet. Everything since is a slowing down oldies show. There was no peak recording.

Disagree entirely. In the stadiums, Voodoo Lounge was a slight update from Steel Wheels--a big retrospective show, geared toward the late-60s and 70's, as opposed to the earlier 60s-oriented show. The new material didn't work at all live. One high point: "Not Fade Away." Stands with the best of the show openers.

Bridges featured a good-to-great new album that they were eager to play. Don't even know where to start with all the great setlist choices and surprises. It certainly never felt to me that "Little Queenie" was autopilot. Nor "Crazy Mama," nor "No Expectations." Certainly not the "Love In Vain" I saw at Giants Stadium.

My favorite moment? Going with an old girlfriend who didn't know the Stones that well and was bowled over by "Out of Control."

Rev is right from my perspective. BTB was the actually the largest venue I have ever seen the boys (ohio Stadium horseshoe) and it was early in the tour yet that show had tons of energy and they owned that stadium

Wow. Had forgotten "All About You."

Saw 'em opening night in Chicago (and a bunch thereafter). Standing in Soldier Field with Keith doing "All About You:" The balls to pull that out in front of a stadium crowd...

"Might As Well Get Juiced" and "How Can I Stop" at the Garden were pretty impressive as well.

Was listening to a boot of "Love In Vain" from Giants #2 the other day and was astonished at how great it sounded for a one-off (supposedly done because Ahmet Ertegun was backstage). That's the song that turned me from a sane(ish) fan into a raving lunatic for the Stones, so I pretty much went to heaven.

I was there that night with some friends and with my late mother, who wanted to see what all the fuss was about. She said, "I get it now--they sing about all the things that nobody can say."

Picks for the day: "Hey Negrita," "Parachute Woman," "No Use In Crying," "Moon Is Up," "It Won't Be Long," "Empty Heart"
