I've tried to listen to John Mayer but I think he is the most overrated musician (apart from Coldplay) going around. If the Stones needed another special guest Mick T would've run rings around Mayer!

Just listen to his guest appearance during Respectable (2013 or 2012).Mayer is an excellent guitarist!

Got back to the hotel very late. After few hours of rest I can only say that the show was good ad usual. I am not intrested to remark if htw was better in paris rather than Lisbona etc etc, what i like of this band is that their level is high since 52 years, and that they play with pride and dignity. A testa alta, as we say in italy. i don't think it is easy, and it costs a lot of efforts and energies. So, once again, thank you Stones!

Tell me, did your son liked the concert? Could he deal with the mass, waiting and the heat? Could he see anything at all?

I thought Keith uses a Gibson on LStNT, but ... okay, wrong again! :E

That was back in 1967

Come to think of it, maybe on SAL as well?

Oh don't be foolish, Dande my sweet — he wasn't playing SAL in 1967!

He's a complete nobody in most European territories... whereas Joe Bonnamassa is reasonably famous here. Miiiiiiick did you pick the wrong horse?

I agree. Wayne Perkins is still around, why not him??

I think Mayer saved that version of Respectable. Mick and the band sounds flat until Mayer kicks in with the solo. Respectable needs to be played faster on most of the live versions I have heard.

I saw John Mayer live on a bill with Sheryl Crow years ago. I was there with friends, just kind of along for the ride and a night out, and had zero desire to sit thru John Mayer. Sheryl Crow played first and I was set to leave when we decided to stay and catch the start of Mayer's set. The guy can play, had a great band, great interaction with the crowd. In two hours I went from thinking Mayer was a lightweight 'pop' star to a serious blues guitarist.

LOL! No, he didn't

Nor did he play LSTNT on the SAL-shows (which I believed, for some reason ), although he used a white Gibson on LSTNT on the same tour

No. I would rather the stones (and similar artists) help unknown/ young musicians. Support bands and acts are an amazing way to find out about new musicians. Many Italians yesterday commented how they enjoyed mayers set and would investigate further. That's what it is all about.

What gesture make Keith at 1.38? Everybody laughing after that.

If you haven't seen it I suggest you check out John Mayers live DVD "where the light is". But of course, we all have different taste in music. But to say Mayer is overrated is in my opinion wrong. He is a great musician and a very good guitarplayer....

There is something very cool about seeing Taylor playing on the more recent tunes.

I wish I could say the same. The part we're not allowed to talk about because criticism is now labeled as hate is still terrible.

Seems like a great show! Beautiful venue, city.
Will look for more reviews.

One question: Did people in the FOS have room to breathe or move
or was it sardine time?

Yes, he liked. We got there at 3.30 and i was worried 'cause the waiting was really long. It was Also hot and with many people, but we found a nice spot on the 'hill' on the left if the stage - ronnie side. At the end he was exhausted, he knew most of the songs and he sat down during respectable, can't be seen and htw. During a mick taylor solo he told me :' he is very good'. Maybe a sign that he has a good taste? As I told you, at the end he was totally tired, but very happy. Out of the Stones hotel saturday chuck leavell gave him 2 plettrum of keith richards, and this really Made the difference. He helped him a lot to get totally involved . So at the end it was ok, even if a normal stadium venue would have been better for him. And what about your experience

I only forgot to add that I still think that the venue was risky. In case of heavy summer rainstorm like last week, i cannot imagine what could have happened to all the thousands of people on the 'Hill' with slippery mud and grass. I cannot even try to think about that..

Actually this specific execution of the song goes "back" towards the Hyde Park 2013 versions. And - while the quality of the sound of this recording is really superb (for an audience recording) the songs layers sound a bit messed up, occasionally, at least to my ears.

That's as far as the people playing instruments are concerned.

Nice shot from Dusseldorf. Thanks.

AMAZING, Marth Tuesday is my hero, longest day of the year, beautiful Rome, young crowd full of energy, loved it, will come back with proper story

I make daily videos on the tour at [youtube.com]
Going to: London - Manchester - Twickenham - Berlin - Marseille - Prague - Warsaw

Just got to my hostel room here in Plaza Mayor area of Madrid.
Late afternoon here on a lovely sunny day and about 28C.

Had a read through all 10 page's, and I would have been happy with everything about that show if I were there.
It sounds as if every show is well up to their really high standards and also differant enough to please most of us.

Your never gonna get, in these venues, a change in second half of show,but first half can have a few surprises.

Can't blame them for that as 95% of audience will only see one show of this tour, and they wanna hear the old favourites....................and I can't blame 'em.

So glad you and Martha had a great time in Rome, Andreea.


Just arrived in. Madrid and gonna get out and about and maybe watch the Spain v Australia footy match at 6pm in a nice Spanish bar.

Can't wait till my next Rolling Stones gig at the Bernebau Stadium. ><

Yep,
Some can't get passed the 'pop' label, but Mayer is the only guitarist in music today that constantly surprises me. He has Taylor's melodic inventiveness mixed with bluesy roots and, as Jules Holland says, he's got that 'boogie muscle'. He can swing.
I'd love to see the Stones get more creative and let him play with Taylor on YCAGWYW.
