20 song set - Mick taylor plays on 3 = 15% of the setlist includes mick taylor
got to be honest, safe as @#$%&, great songs chosen & played but sheesh the novelty of mick taylor on just 3 tunes is such a missed opportunity!?!?!
if this is the last ever tour its a crying shame that theyre not making the best use of what they got, play what they want and how they want.
Well if things get worse just stand on the chairs. That's what we did in Rome in 2007 when they let all the people into the stadium ground.Quote

So the stage is better !!!! Less high !!!
There is a slight slope on the catwalk but the main stage is just as high as in Abu Dhabi. See pictures on first page where you see in the distance security personell standing in front of the stage.
Yeah it looks like they fixed the problem by increasing the gaps...the easiest fix I suppose.
I still would like to hear reports and see more pics. It's slightly killing our front row ticket buzz for Adelaide. Promoters are full of BS.
BS?
BS = bullsh* t
Adelaide Promoter told us Abu Dhabi stage was so high as a once off, but looks as tho stage in Tokyo is same height. Meaning restricted view for high paying fans in the front rows. Some have said they can only see the tops of heads, and no view of Ronnie, Keef or Charlie at all due to catwalk height.
Let's put it his way: The best outdoor concert since Knebworth 1976, but not to compare to indoor shows as that is just a different place and league. Not better or worse but different.Quote

Is there anything that fans will not bitch about.

You might get the odd curve ball or two but the set will be safe. The majority of people there want to see the warhorses - they are casual stones fans, a large number have probably only seen them once or twice (If at all).
As has already been said enjoy it for what it is, we are lucky the lads are still around after 50 years. You only have to look at other high profile bands like Led Zep, The Beatles and Pink Floyd to realise this. I dont buy into the notion they are just topping up their cash reserves, Glastonbury last year was arguably their finest moment in 30 years

Great setlist for the first of three nights, but I still have to maintain that Slipping Away has no place in a Stones show anymore, because Keith's voice is so shot. What will be interesting however is to see what they come up with for the next two Tokyo shows, how much variation there'll be.
keef has been singing like that forever. his voice is rough but very melodic !Quote

Four Surprises.
1-Mick Taylor conducted the band for Slipping Away with his eye contact and chorus.
2-Mick Taylor was dancing with smoking behind Charlie's drum set during Keith was singing Before They Make Me Run.
3-My wife and I were sitting right beside the catwalk.
When Mick, Keith or Lisa approahed the catwalk, the monitor speakers came on and the sound of Charlie's drum came out far more vividly.
That was like a quasi surround effect. It was very interesting and fun experience.
4-Midnight Rambler was a lotmore powerful than they did in 1990. They played it with full throttle.
Lastly let me quote a memorable remark:
"There will never be a love affair so grand and so lasting as mine with The Rolling Stones."
When I saw their show before my nose, I reaffirm my love affair is still going on.
I could get a feeling of happiness from their obscenity, vague manners and three chords rock 'n' roll.
Let's party for the rest of the night!

Lets face it folks The Stones are and have been for the last 20 years a Nostalgia Act,no more no less,it could be Vegas or Tokyo they will play the same songs over and over,this is what the majority of the audience wants,they don't give a shit about M Taylor,hell, most of them probably don't even know who he is,forget about them doing "rare' songs,they only may play some of them at rehearsals,but would never do it at a big concert,once again their audience now days only wants the "hits",so if you want to hear the warhorses for the million times,then pay the $600.00 per ticket and have a great time,the rest of us wanting something different will never get it....
