This is quite a lot of said from the hard core Stones fan!
Lot of people didn't like that tour but I had a good time at it. Saw it twice. Pretty hard core on the Bowie.Quote

We are now having a special TV program of Bowie for consecutive 10 hours.
50 Years of David Bowie
Reality Tour will start in about 30 minutes.
I saw for the first time that Peter Frampton played Satisfaction riff during Jean Genie in Glass Spider tour.

Is that the criteria to be a hard-core Stones fan to call Jagger fake?
Then I am not a hard-core Stones fan at all.

I have not watched that show but saw him twice on that tour: once in a 20,000 seat arena in Toronto and in a 3000 seat theatre in Buffalo. Both were adventurous shows, in regard to setlist. Both had lots of stuff from the Reality album, but also some lesser-known 90s stuff. In Toronto he thru in a few more 'hits' to appease the big crowd. In Buffalo he threw in some even deeper cuts of older material like Queen Bitch and Bewly Brothers. I didn't know all the material, but loved the shows and loved that he had the guts to mix it up, to not live in the past and not worry that the people in the premium seats would be upset at missing Young Americans.
I would pay to see him again as I know it would be new and have lots of unexpected moments. The same reason I won't pay to see the Stones again.

I never got to see Bowie prior to the Glass Spider tour but even on that much-maligned tour which is thought to represent him at a commercial sell-out / artistic nadir, he still managed to pull out such stunning deep cuts as "All The Madmen", "Sons Of The Silent Age" and "Big Brother". I was very impressed by his huevos as these were not safe, stadium-pleasing selections.

True, although it wouldn't kill the stadium for him to play three deep cuts out of a 30 song setlist. I agree those are great choices, but I don't know why he wouldn't want to play some deep cuts. The stadium doesn't need to know every single song.

I agree -- I was posting in response to this prior comment: "I really envy the Bowie fans, why can't the Stones offer us the same luxury?"

At the start of the concert he shouts out Tiocfaidh Ar la. Its Irish for Our Day will come, an IRA slogan at the time. Amazed he shouted it out. I am assuming some roadie or something put him up to it.
