I did all of the OZ/NZ tour except sadly Brisbane (Silver Train) gigs.

My fav was Paerth 2 - simply because of Loving Cup....just one drink.....

The one where they didn't play Sympathy For the Devil.

I only went to one 14 on Fire concert and that was in Macau so I would have to say that was the best show.

Feel The Fear
And Do It Anyway

agreed, Philly 2 was phenomal. hearing and seeing MT solo was one of the highlights of my tenth stones show. LA one was awesome with the marching band intro, Brooklyn was fantastic as well!

Gold rings on ya

.....keep on rolling.....

For me, second 02 (out of 02 x 2 and Hyde Park x 2).

And Shanghai (out of Shanghai, Macau, Zurich, Berlin, Paris, Vienna & Stockholm). In fact,I think Shanghai rates as my favourite show ever.

why dont tHey ever turn up in ReykjAVÍK _ ......

Went to 5 Oz shows and the two best ones I saw were Perth #2 - boy were they ON that night
And Syndey - the crowd were surprisingly the the best and the band stepped up and took chances due to Micks voice and it was breathtaking to watch them work and surprise themselves.

Werchter '14

The tour isn't over, is it?

The best show I catched was Roskilde. Great versions of She's So Cold and Out Of Control.

Saw all 5 UK shows but nothing will beat Glastonbury.

Hey MoreFastNumbers, I know that you saw 10 of 14 shows of the European Tour + Hyde Park 2 (all from the first rows), so which was the best???

My top 6 of concerts I saw on the 50 and Counting 2012-2013 and 14 On Fire European Tour 2014:
1 02 Arena London 25 November 2012 the first show of the tour, not knowing anything about stage design and setlist great surprises, and Special Guest Jeff Beck and Bill Wyman)
2 Walbhüne Berlin (standing front of stage innenraum, beautiful location :-) )
3 Dusseldorf (Worried about you and Street Fighting Man)
4 Werchter ( golden circle and tribute to Bobby Wommack)
5 Pinkpop (in my homeland, cheapest ticket 90 euro and Rocks Off song vote winner :-) )
6 Hyde Park #1 2013 front of stage, but all day in the sun and very little to drink. At least I can spot myself on the Sweet Summer Sun dvd ;-)

I saw Newark 1 & 2 and Chicago 1.

Definitely Newark 1.

Kris

Wow. Tough questions.

50 and Counting - O2(2), NJ(2), LA(1), Oakland, Boston(2), Hyde Park (2). The O2 and NJ shows were amazing with all those guest stars, and the 23-song setlists, but I might have to go with Boston(2), for the emotional "Memory Motel".

14 on Fire - Tokyo (1), (2) and (3), Paris, Stockholm, Auckland. All stadium shows, and I thought that the band was very tight in Paris and Stockholm. Overall, though, the edge goes to Tokyo (2), for Mick Taylor on four songs (Midnight Rambler, Satisfaction, Slippin Away and Silver Train), and for a great performance from Keith after he looked so out of it the first night, I thought he was done.

but I might have to go with Boston(2), for the emotional "Memory Motel".


That Friday night had a great feel. But then again, it's always seems more magical to see the Stones in a different venue than your home base.

I saw 6 European shows, of which Berlin, Dusseldorf and Madrid were the best IMO, each for a different reason. Musically I think Dusseldorf, overall vibe Berlin, and the audience in Madrid was wild wild wild...

Werchter 14 was the only show I attended, very special for me where: " It's All Over Now " a big hit in 64 and Wild Horses. I enjoyed some of the openers and the festival site thanks to the Golden C.

From the ones I attended.

2012 The second O2,n London (of course the show at Le Trabendo was pretty special)
2013 The first Hyde Park, London
2014 Stade de France, Paris (Zurich was very emotive to me with Worried About You)

I only did 02 on 29 November 2012. But it was enough for me. Great show.

Very hard to say but if I had to chose I would say Stockholm.

Closed to Stockholm I would say 1st Newark, 2nd Chicago, Pinkpop and closed to these shows: Paris SDF, Vienna that were superb too.

Brisbane, Chicago 1, the 2nd Hyde Park and the 2nd Newark shows were amazing too.

Brisbane was a very special show. Keith was on fire. I didn't write any review because I still have stars in the eyes. Sympathy was beautiful...

But I would say that Werchter and Chicago 3 and Abu Dabi were a little bit less good than the other shows.

Oslo,Zurich and Madrid were all really special for me, but the audience at the home of Real Madrid FC were the nearest thing to being in South America.

O2 1st show - because of the surprises, the pit and the relief that Keith had recovered.

Chicago 2 - Band on top form.

Hyde park 2 - sense of occasion. A real event.

Sydney 12th Nov.

sc uk

every one that i went too

In order

1. Perth 2
2. Adelaide
3. Perth 1 (sound was a bit off)

O2 - first show and Roskilde

But the days before the Oslo-show, the anticipation, all the fans gathering outside the film park and the arena the days prior to show day - nothing but fantastic!

And the show was great as well

Roma & Madrid.
Don't know if it's the cool balmy weathers or the super-hot audiences but check the aud recordings : the Stones played well "down" there, much better than in Germany for example (imo).

2012 = 2nd show in London, Though the first was already a blast

2013 = San Jose because of the guests
Philadelphia 2, best show and not only the best but the longest with Taylor
on Can't you hear me knocking.

2014 = Waldbühne as the most intimitate show in Europe

A lot of good shows accross the old continent.

Anyway I liked the US Tour better then the stadium tour in Europe.

But so many different fans, so many different opinions.

Hear! Hear! A great show but not necessarily the best of the tour. I only wish I could have got there earlier and been outside said film park. Caught the arena on the Saturday night though. For me the best fans' gathering experience prior to a show, ever! And I didn't arrive in Oslo until the Saturday wee small hours.

Great memories.
