Loved your review WarMachine and just wondered at first about your name on IORR,but hope it's just something you just came up with.

Easily the longest and most detailed review I've read,after following The Stones since 1962.

Glad you enjoyed the gig and hope you can make it to London,for another show ,next summer.
probably they were all snatched up already? on this tour it was very unlikely to find stuff like ticket stubs in the parking lotsQuote

One thing I noticed and I thought a little unusual....there were no tour posters around any of the cities I was in announcing that the Stones were in town. OK, they were sold out, but usually you see some promotion of the Stones performing in town by way of a billboard or a simple poster pasted onto a lamp post/phone box/etc.
impressive tour, expressive words; i have to agree sir.Quote

I saw three shows on this tour..... I am not one to analyse each gig, song by song, and say which was best. I enjoyed them all 'in the moment' each with their own atmosphere....

A great read indeed, WarMachine!
One question: You discovered the Stones superficially as late as 1997. At the same time you're saying that Keith probably hasn't been near the top of his game for a long time. It would be interesting to know which time frame you're thinking of here?
Thanks again for a great review

Back in the superficial introduction days I don't think I paid a lot of attention to Keith's playing. On the decline I probably started paying more attention around the time when the 50 & Counting tour began as it was maybe that fall when the Stones really became my favorite band. This then lead to listening to many live recordings, whether official releases or bootlegs, and it became quite evident that it was during the Bigger Bang tour when the decline really began. But then again, Keith has had his on and off nights on every tour, so... But at the end of the day, it's a good thing I always prefer simple/easy licks and solos to excessive noodling.
