One unfortunate moment after the tragic events of the weekend was the video accompanying Gloom and Doom, which showed an animated jetliner crashing.

It was like a shot for a Stones junkie. I mean an overdose almost. After the rather strange show in Abu Dhabi, warmup, then three great stadium shows in Tokyo, I struggled with understanding Macau. I mean the place. I wanted to geet out of here as soon as possible. But then the show arrived...
To be in the pit at an arena show is great. But to be in the pit with the Stones tonight... It was almost an overdose. At 8pm the place was empty. I thought this was a total failure crowd wise. By 8:30pm the house was almost full, and by 8:38pm the house was full, and the Stones took the stage. Boooom!
I am just a big smile. And so tired. The show was 10 out of 10. Mick was running the tongue so often I had to go down there eventually. By Sympathy they turned out the razor blade sound an extra round, it was loud and sharp, Keith was clear, aggressive on his guitar, running the tongue twice, and focused from start to finish. Ronnie was great too, and Charlie, when there were some thunders may be they have to reperar the roof of the Cotai Arena, it was great, and now I am permanently fixed as a Stones junkie.
I just loved it
Don't know if I have the power to write up a report really, the flight leaves for Shanghai tomorrow morning, but I will find a picture or two before I call it the night...
By the way... GIMME SHELTER! I was down by the tonguee end by then. Mick and Lisa stayed there with me for an eternity. I just loved it. More later.

if you want low-level-mind-users like "congratulations" or "well-stated-bv"-Rolling-Hansie and similar to reign your board, your site should and will end as a fake which had nothing to do with reality.

maybe there were worse before, but you have to admit that you're an extreme
arse-licker, no? ;-)

Well, I can only echo the sentiments already expressed here about last night's show. I just loved it and had an absolute ball of a time down at the front of the pit - as everyone else also seemed to. The atmosphere was fantastic, which is something that cannot be felt reading a setlist on a screen or even watching/hearing youtube clips. I wouldn't have been madly impressed by the setlist reading it at home but they did it proud and it was massively enjoyable. Keith was terrific and Charlie during SFD at one point looked in ecstasy with his eyes closed and a huge smile on his face. Mick really worked the crowd and they lapped it up. At 8 pm, the official start time I think, the place was virtually empty and it looked as if it would be an embarrassing disaster but it filled up all of a sudden and the crowd in the tiers was on its feet dancing and waving a lot more than you ever see at the likes of the O2. I felt lucky to be there hearing and seeing these guys while it's still possible.
