A success in entertainment, money, and spectacle, but a disappointment as far as interesting. Where you fall in caring along that spectrum dictates the answer.

I loved it. I only saw the Waldbuhne, but it simply was great. They sounded great, they played well, but above all: it was the first time in my life that I simply enjoyed seeing the Stones. I didn't care about the mistakes, the setlists or whatever. I thought it simply was a miracle that after being a fan for 32 years I was still seeing them play live. And I enjoyed simply that.

NOT MUCH TALK ABOUT KEITH RICHARDS - golly, I must have been following a different board.Quote

What was generally praised was the scaled down minimalism of the show itself. The pure rock and roll of it. Mick Jagger seemed to be the most raved about member of the band. Not much talk about Keith Richards. .

In fact I have never met people who are pissed off and who want their money back.

I was refering to the media reviews I have read. Most critics praise Mick Jagger foremost. They write in smaller prints about Keith Richards. One critic even called them "The Rolling Jagger"...

As I am a new poster on here I'm a bit afraid of saying the wrong thing OR a wrong thing in the wrong place.
I've only recently discovered the Stones despite being 53. I've never seen them live.
I've followed all the threads here about ALL the shows and watched quite a lot of clips. What comes across to me is the SHEER JOY of performing, the emotion of it, and how very organic their music is.
Anything, any topic can be analysed to death and that can be enjoyable to do as well. But in the end it has to be whether the performers are true in their intentions and to their vocation. It's as if a spirit possesess them for those moments on stage. I thought the spirit possessed them entirely, so that must be a "success". Apologies for incoherence.

Setlist was criticized - rightly so. My estimation tells me that ticket prices were overall lower than on the US tour. But I might be wrong.
