Sad sad sad set list. Oh well

The show was brilliant. Sloppy as hell, way too loud and in a room full of echo where the best sound in the house was supposed to be.

After a blistering set by the warm up-act, Big Bang, I was curious about how the Stones would follow. One simple answer: By turning up the volume - loud! (And Big Bang was loud as well, mind you).

The Northern Lights poster is sold as a litograph at N. kr. 750 which is US $130 or Euro 85. I think I will make my own poster from the source file, because I want it my own size and in a nice print. It is the best poster in years, capturing a lot about Norway and the Stones - stars, northern lights, trees, mountains, the date, the tongue, a real beauty.

Little disappointed that they've stayed with a 19 song set. But for most Europeans, they heard many songs for the first times which is nice. First time for Doom & Gloom, Emotional Rescue and and CBS, and Worried About You is a great deep track. Good show.

In short, the first half of the show was a bit shaky, with some exceptions:

- Worried About You was stunning!
- The rendition of Let's Spend The Night Together was probably the best I've ever heard
- Emotional Rescue was great fun, although Mick had some hearing problems (something he had quite a few times during the show - starting singalongs on the wrong beat etc.)

They had problems ending All Down The Line (which was a fantastic version anyway), and kept on playing forever, before Ronnie wrapped it up by pushing his effect pedal, playing the riff on his light strings to get Keith and the horns on track.

Then came Keith's set...

A lovely You Got The Silver. I like his other ballads, but on nights like these you'd want him to keep it in the setlist forever.

Can't Be Seen...
What a mess! What a lovely mess!! From the get-go, this is awesome. A guitar heavy version, with great singing from Keith. Then they get lost - or more correctly Keith gets lost, and Ronnie had a vague idea of what to do, but obviously wasn't quite sure What happened was that Keith just withdrew from it all, and kept on playing one chord. The rest of the band tries different solutions, because Keith didn't consider starting the next verse as an option. The Ronnie decides to step up. He moves over to Bernard and Lisa, points at Bernard and a couple of seconds later Bernard sings the beginning of the bridge, with Keith following a second later. All the same, this was a lovely experience of an organic band, who takes chances and creates music on the spot without taking themselves to seriously

MR was great as always, and Mick Taylor played his a$$ off. He got great reviews in the norwegian press, and the ever-returning question of why they're not using him more was asked again.

And now, there is a reason why the warhorses get played everytime! My goodness, how good those songs were yesterday. This Gimme Shelter is up there with the best ones ever. Despite Mick's hearing problems, something he coped with by cutting words and by "speak-singing", his interaction and dueting with Lisa was simply amazing. Of course I'm biased by watching that from a couple of meters distance, but it was lovely - and the crowd was amazed.

We know the rest of the set, we heard the songs many times in concert - but when played well, those songs are the best songs in the world - and yesterday they were goose-bumpingly fantastic.

They added a new little gosple coda on YCAGWYW after the ending, which took the audience completely by surprise. That was brilliant

Cheers to all the new IORR friends I've made during this week. It's been a gas!

This post is meant to be ironic, right?

Ok, about the setlist...
The setlist is not gonna change! I think. They will stick with the 'warhorses' and maybe 1 or 2 suprises. MAX. And Taylor will only play MR and Satisfaction, because they rehearsed it this way. No risk, easy songs, high energy.

Does anyone remember which song it was....one of the first (before Midnite Rambler) where Keith totally messed up his solo and Mick walks over a minute later and gives him a cheecky-yet-serious look of 'WTF was that?'??
Overall great gig, and some hilarious moments from Mick (abandoning Charlie halfway down the ramp....leaving a confused slightly frightened (and pissed off) legend pottering around trying to make his way alllll the way back to the drums).
Still, Keith let us down me thinks. Everyone else was playing their rear-ends off, Keith had been beffudled by the local goodies, and it unfortunately showed.

Thanks DP. I wasn't meant to be harsh...maybe I was, although the solo did resemble one of those hurdle jumpers at the olympics who are doing great and then trip on the 3d to last hurdle
