I really dislike the Voodoo Lounge tour, and think that ever since that tour they stopped being the Rolling Stones and started acting to be the Rolling Stones. There where some exceptions though, 1999 NS in the US was quite good, and the club gigs in 2003 where great as well.

Were you at the show where Connection was played, Phil?

1978: If only because the show I saw on that tour was the Philadelphia debacle. That Some Girls-centered setlist was made for theatres. Although it sounds much better years later, devoting half the show in front of 90,000 people to an album that had only been out for a week didn't go over so well at the time.

None for me. VL was my very first tour (1 show only though), so it is a true highlight in my "Stones fan career"! Loved all tours after that. But I can understand why those who saw them in "their prime" think otherwise. I have nothing to compare 1995-onwards to!

the entire premise of this thread is ridiculous-
just as are the threads about which "tour had the best sound"
the website is supposed to be for knowledgeable fans who can dig deep into the rolling stones music and history and we get "which tour was the most disappointing"
what the fck is that?? - you're inferring that they were all disappointing but you want the MOST DISAPPOINTING?
the answer is that every gig from night to night is different-the sound is different because the acoustics of the venue are different.
the crowd is different because obviously they are not the same people as the night before-the band are not nailing it some nights and others they are like a well oiled machine.
to lump 100's of nights together as one just because they fall under a tour name is nonsense.seriously,you guys were disappointed in an entire tour??
.unless you're worried about micks haircut,then for you it makes sense.

I had never seen them before this tour and wasn't sure if I even wanted to go; my only experience of the Stones live would be when they're all close to 70.
But honestly, I really don't think any other band will come close to the experience I had when watching the Stones play literally a few meters from me. I remember listening to songs like Bitch and All Down the Line when I first discovered the Stones, thinking "I'll never hear these live". How wrong I was, and how delightful those songs were.
