"Steel Wings"? Larsson continues to make a fool of himself
Where does he say that? I think he gives a pretty decent review this time around. Remember, he isn't a Rolling Stones fan to begin with. Like most Swedish rock critics his age, he's an indie pop fan.
Håkan Hellström or Kent just have to show up on stage and he will give them five star reviews.
Check out the song-by-song review.
I know what he fancies when it comes to music. I just don't like his need to make a sensation out of everything in music, often by promoting himself.
Yes, Mick was fantastic, but so was the band. And there isn't anything one-dimensional within huge parts of the setlist: SSC, WH, OOC, YGTS, CBS, SFTD, LSTNT, GS in my (not always so) humble opinion
I agree that this review was more balanced, but that also says a lot, I think.

Journalists are normally full of crap - one complint from the show in Roskilde was that they played to slow - well, do you play a blues song full speed on?

Some songs are played to slow and some too fast! Doom And Gloom, Angie are played too fast. Brown Sugar, It's Only Rock N Roll and Can't Be Seen should be played faster to sound even better!
that is exactly the reason i wished to be able to stay there.Quote

Also after the show, the two hosts came on stage and said that they have found a replacement for Drake, who had to cancel on Sunday. The replacement is Jack White. People being pumped after a Stones show and then getting that message was great to see. Everybody cheered wildly.

No, those songs have a perfect tempo, imo.
They played them ridiculously fast earlier, though. CBS in particular.

I think some of you are a little slow in catching sarcasm.
but it's undeniable they're much better than last year : better shows, no lame guests.
Ok setlists were stiff (but they've always been with the Stones) but the gigs were so much more powerful than last year in the US or in Asia this year.
Keith in particular shone during these 14 shows.
I betcha they'll be even better for the Oz/NZ shows. Just like in 94-95, the best bunch of shows from the whole world tour will be played Down Under.

Of course I know what I'm talking about, Nikkei! You never know with Rolling Hansie though. After all, he's Dutch... (just kidding Hansie. Cheers! And good luck in the WC. 0-0, so far...)

That is in fact incredible, I'm so plaeased that the play the bluesy middle part in an extended version like in the seventies. If the tour would last any longer MR counts 20 minutes and more ...

The real reason they play Can't Be Seen so much slower than in 1989-90 I think is beacause Keith would not be able to sing the lyrics that fast now. I thought the 89-90 tempo for that song was perfect and not ridiculous at all!!, but that's just my opinion. Brown Sugar sometimes works in the slower tempo they're playing it in now but more often than not it sounds a bit flat, to compare the ''slow'' 1997-98 versions is much better. The Live Licks version of Brown Sugar is played in the ideal tempo to me. It's Only Rock N Roll, is dead boring live nowadays, listen to the 1997 St Louis version, It rocks so much harder!

Which US shows did you see last year as the basis for your opinion? By the way, that's what this is -- your opinion. It's undeniable that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
The US shows did have some lame guests -- agreed -- but they were on longer shows, usually 22 songs, so who cares.
