Really good sound this time and Keith was in excellent form.
Quick song per song rewiev:
Jumping Jack Flash 4/5 - Very sharp version, reminded me of the 1999 No Security tour opening in their way of playing it.
It's Only Rock N Roll 1/5 - This song needs to be played faster!!! This is just so boring!
You Got Me Rocking 4/5 - I thought it was great but the crowd was not into it at all.
Tumbling Dice 4/5 - Keith kept ''riding the riff'' for the whole song.
Angie 3/5 Sounded beautiful, but I'm simply somewhat tired of hearing this song.
Doom And Gloom 2/5 - Studio version is good, but this ''new'' song still stinks played live two years after live premiere!
All Down The Line 2/5 - Sounded rusty, too slow and not very tight.
Out Of Control 4/5 - Could be even better if Mick sang the chorus with more grit in his voice and the backing singers shut their mouths.
Honky Tonk Women 4/5 Flawless solo by Keith and overall very powerful sounding redention.
You Got The Silver 3.5/5 - Not as good as it was in 2007 but I still enjoy Ronnie's slide playing alot.
Can't Be Seen 4/5 - Keith did not mess it up this time even though he forgot a few words inte first verse. Great song in any version!
Midnight Rambler 4/5 - Always a great song live these days, unusually sharp soloing by Taylor.
Miss You 2/5 - Both Keith and Ronnie stopped playing at one point and started runing pretty fast.
Gimme Shelter 3/5 - Works just fine, Lisa needs to be omitted from this song and be replaced by Mick Taylor.
Start Me Up 3.5/5 Crowd was really into it. The backing vocals during the chorus is annoying.
Sympathy For The Devil 4/5 Fantastic singing by Mick and a decent solo by Keith. However they need to rework this song live to make it more intersting.
Brown Sugar 4/5 Started of a bit flat (no intro mess up by Keith) but quickly took of and got the crowd going!
You Can't Always Get What Want 3/5 - The choir is unnecessary, a little bit of a ''autopilot'' feel to the performance of this song tonight.
Satisfaction 3/5 - I only like the 1965 and 1997-98 versions of this song, And that's not gonna change! Keith did a terrific solo and later he wanted to restart the song by playing the intro again but Charlie quicly did the final cymbal splash instead. No big loss.
Funny, or sad, that there was not one song classified 5/5. What makes you rate something 5 anyway? Listen to Bon Jovi.
"Choir is unnecessary", "Lisa replaced by Mick T." - OMG.
It's always been said on here that the only people who can really comment are those that were there.
Maybe we should just replace Lisa with Lisa from previous tours who actually sang well on this song and not the second rate Patti LaBelle impersonation we're getting this time around.

I finally got around to watching the Werchter one. I quit watching most of them, because the better MT plays, the more depressing it is that they can't find a place for him anywhere else in the set.

...At the end of You Got The Silver, Ronnie had is arm around him and Keith said, in his own inimitable fashion, "I love you too Ronnie, but I haven't got the time right now"!...
Hilarious! Cant wait to see a youtube clip of that moment (nothing up right now - just checked)

I hate to say it but I don't think Taylor could've helped this version. It might be the slowest and most uninspired version I have ever seen. I am sure that folks who attended will tell me how wrong I am, and that it was fun in person, but this is the first time I have been genuinely bored by All Down The Line. One of my favorites. Just way too slow here.

I rather feel that people will say something like "Taylor makes a good song better". No slight on Woodie but in all fairness, Woodie wasn't there when they made this song. Similarly, it would'nt be fair to Woodie to have MT play on Miss You, Imagination, Start Me Up, Some Girls, etc.

I wasn't there but,I have a VERY difficult time believing that this is what it sounded like live in the venue.
Crap recording equipment .... probably a cellular phone. You can't hear anything clearly except for the vocals.
I do believe that with GOOD recordings that you can judge (for the most part) a concert without actually being there. I believe that it is especially true if you have witnessed several recent concerts AND have access to a quality recording.
I don't believe that "jack of all trades / master of none" sweat shop manufactured smart phones paint an accurate picture,however .... especially maybe not in this case.
I am not saying that the performance of "All Down the Line" was good or bad .... just that you can't totally tell for sure from that recorded evidence.
