But there was really one sad moment. Tina Turner was on the VIP seats (right side). Why the f*** she didn't performed 1 song as a guest vocalist with The Rolling Stones??
Well, Tina has been pretty much semi-retired for the last decade or more. I'm sure she attends quite a few gigs near where she lives but doesnt jump on stage at any of them.
I read, that she had a storke, last week. A performance with the Stones would have been the best proof, that everything is okay with her.
I've a photo from Tina Turner (not the best, because she was sitting behind a window), which I would like to share with you. Can someone please tell me, how I can upload it?

to those who dont want them to play the "warhorses" anymore,you are being jerks.the stones doing brown sugar or satisfaction or jumping jack flash is a triumpant moment,an iconic band playing iconic songs live right in front of you
Mix in one or two rarities per show and you'd get the perfect live formula...
hey wait a minute, this is exactly what Jagger's been doing since 2012!

so mt has a technical problem with his guitar and i read this thread and learn that it is a quarrel no, it is a fight to the point of wrestling between him and keith, more: the quarrel is that keith is possibly angry because of mt playing too long...
then i see thisQuote

It was a fun Show in Zürich, some Songs worked very well (GS - very loud guitars, Worried About You - cool and soulfull version, LSTNT - first time live for me and it was slow, but great, SFTD - very good solo by Keith imo, same on HTW), some not that good (BS, Can´t be seen). I love Taylor but RW did a phantastic Job yesterday, some great solos ...
And one thing is for sure: 98,5 % of the crowd wanted to hear those "greatest hits" ... for the rest (like me) we got MT on Rambler! Point!

Thanks for posting, Mark - now we have the solution of all these riddles and worries. Mick's guitar clearsly gets heavily out of tune so he hands it to the back to get it fixed. Usually, at that point in the show, he would play licks and fills to interact with Jagger, but now he can't.
What a lovely review - after all the nonsense posted yesterday its great to hear how it felt to be there ( when you can't be there yourself)Quote

I am still on a Rolling Stones high from Zurich and seeing their plane take off was just the icing on the cake. The entrance fee to the observation deck was five Swiss francs well spent! Their plane waited so long to take off that I barely squeaked onto my own plane - a few minutes more and the door would have closed. After a while on the deck, I was approached by a very meek-looking Swiss lady, aged 75 at the very least, who obviously recognised that I wasn't your average plane spotter - because neither was she. I speak no German and she spoke no English but she communicated to me that she'd been at the show the night before and that she loved the Rolling Stones. She mimicked her heart pounding when the plane taxied by and tears rolling down her cheeks when it left. She also very sweetly took a Rolling Stones Established in 1962 badge out of her pocket and bestowed it on me before hurrying me off to my plane. It was one of those lovely encounters that just happen if you're a Rolling Stones fan.
And that's what it was like all along in Zurich - another one of those trips where you are lucky enough to be seeing the Rolling Stones and then you also meet congenial fellow fans, including some you've only ever known before as a username, in a picturesque city enjoying good weather. What's not to like?!
As far as I'm concerned, the Rolling Stones are still a phenomenal live act like no other. Did I hear any mistakes? I sure did and a fair few of them as well beyond the ones mentioned. Is this something new? No. Did it spoil my enjoyment? Not one jot. And from where I stood, I can't say I noticed it spoiling anyone else's enjoyment either. Probably those mistakes lasted for a total of a minute out of a two-hour show - DOH - and I'd be mad to stand around dissecting a few fleeting mistakes instead of carrying on enjoying what follow them. When they do make a mistake, I like seeing anyway how they recover from it and recover they do.
Same goes for the setlist. I can read any setlist written in black and white and form an opinion, but the real proof of any setlist is in the pudding and that means being there. Ditto the tinny-sounding phone videos. No way can you get any of the atmosphere from all these uploads. You have to be there. And how very much more boring a setlist would be if it was played robotically and note-perfect every single time. If that was the case, then I might as well sit at home and play Rolling Stones records all night - and I can do that any old time already, so I'll take the other choice while it's still on offer because some day it won't be.
They tricked us with Bitch alright. After hearing it in the sound check, it was the certain fan choice, we all thought. Har har… It sounded good though and I can't imagine they won't play it sooner or later for some lucky audience. Highlights for me were Worried About You (so tremendous that it almost made you want to cry), You Got Me Rockin and Out of Control. And shoot me down but I even loved Can't Be Seen, warts and all. It looked to me as if Keith was trying very hard to look at a teleprompter of some kind initially and then gave up after a few lines. Anyone can say what they like about Keith Richards, but he still produces sublime and priceless sounds that only he can. Charlie is always solidly pounding away there at the back and don't they and we all just rightly love him for it. Ronnie does not receive enough credit and recognition for the clever and inspired guitarist he really is, which was well in evidence in Zurich. And Mick of course is set to remain the best frontman ever - forever.
I was puzzled suddenly to see a guitarless MT dancing about at the back and playing air guitar, but how on earth this got blown up into a fisticuffs with Keith is beyond me. And about Tina Turner - I also read a rumour that she had recently suffered a stroke, which was denied by her camp and it has to be said that she looks radiant in that photo. So who knows. She is about 75 now, so maybe she's hung up her dancing shoes. She must be pals too with Lisa, who was a backing singer on at least one relatively recent tour.
Roll on Berlin is all I can say.

That was a great show again. Sir Mick Jagger is truly amazing, ultimate best frontman in a rockband. It was so great to hear "You Got Me Rocking" & "Lets Spend The Night Together". Also Mick Jagger on keyboards during "Worried About You" was somthing new for me.
The Temperance Movement were good, but they could have been also for 45 minutes instead of only 25 minutes on stage.
But there was really one sad moment. Tina Turner was on the VIP seats (right side). Why the f*** she didn't performed 1 song as a guest vocalist with The Rolling Stones??
That's remarkable isn't it...I read a while back she was ill...not that she was even necessarily even considered, but I wonder if that may have been an issue in the consideration.

Oh yes - I forgot to mention that only Keith Richards can look that good in such a luridly luminous pink shirt!
