You can split the ABB tour in 3 parts:
2005 - Nearly like the 40Licks Tour but with slightly weaker Keith
2006 - Not very bad but to the end of the year subside performances
2007 - Sympathy hast sometimes near horrible solos and songs are often played with mistakes
So the worst part was the 2007 summer tour.

1981 tour by far. The tour sucked. The sound was awful and the playlist was crap.

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.

<<shows in 1999. I was at 4 of them. Ronnie was a no show at all of them.>>
You mean Ronnie actually didn't show for these gigs and they played without him? I'd like to hear the boots of these shows.

No. He was MIA. The BTB/NS era was Ronnie's nadir. He spent more time waving to the crowd than he did playing. Keith probably developed lumbago after carrying him around on his back for two years.
Somehow or another, they still managed to make it a very enjoyable tour.

I guess I am lucky because I have never attended a Stones concert which was disappointing and it appeared that the other 6 million people who were there with me all felt the same way... at least they all sure seemed happy about the shows, all of them.

It's the setlists, Max. Lots of fans here despise having UMT, LSTNT, TIOMS, WOAF, LIB, 20FR, GTAGG or BOB in the setlist. Not to mention SMU, HTW, JJF, BS and YCAGWYW! At least they claim so. It must have ruined the shows for them.

They had a really strong album in 1978, from which they could have played all songs.
They were obviously more confident than ever in their new material.
Philly? Ah, the punk version of Satisfaction! Not my cup of tea, but here it is

True, but on songs like Moonlight Mile he played consistently well, so his long "breaks" during those tours still are a bit baffling...

Maybe I'm in the minority here but what do people have against the '81 tour? I think its the best tour they ever did. 2 plus hours of straight ahead rock and roll. Jagger at his best as a performer. Yes, better than 72-73. The songs were played a little fast but who cares. Great setlist. I have shows from '81 that are easily comparable (if not better) than any shows they've ever done. The new stuff they had out at the time ( BL, Neighbours, T+A, SMU, HF,WOF) fit perfectly in the set. And yes, LSTNT is a better movie than L&G even though it was slaughtered in the editing room. The '81 tour was the last time the Stones sounded that raw. IMO, the '89 steel wheels tour nearly sounded like another band.

It's not that different from Satisfaction circa 1966/1967. Probably a bit tamer really.
