Me too. The Stones really should do something about it.

Interesting what Maindefender wrote that he left the show to watch a hockey game. I've seen every Stones tour since 1975 except the last US tour because....wasn't worth it to me...so expensive and predictable. I'm a huge Stones fan - over 300 albums (imports, collectors items etc) and still listen to them all the time. I find people very defensive on this website but I can't help be disappointed with The Stones over the last 15 years or so. I'm jeolous how Springsteen and U2 will still release excellent albums consistently and then tour the albums and play the new stuff and rare stuff and their fans love it. The audience knows and sings the new songs and they expect to be challenged and not just play the same classics over and over. Unfortunately the Stones have painted themselves in a corner and have to play the same classics again and again, because a large percentage of the concert goers only know those classics and that's why their there. I hear you Mandefender, I wouldn't leave a show...but I don't get excited and say wow here's Satisfaction, JJ Flash and I'm not willing to shell out huge bucks to hear one or two semi rarities. And I LOVE The Stones.
I think you made a really bad decision and don't know what you missed: A Great Time With The Rolling Stones and Stones-lovers from all around the world.
Maybe you are even a bit frustated you're too tight with money and try to find an excuse for your mistake.
This is what I thought before the first show 50 & Counting in the O2.
But I was wrong all the way!
In the O2 I was dancing for two hours starting with I Wanna Be Your Man and the thrill of the whole event. First show in 5 years
Hyde Park II was also fantastic.
and last year Berlin, Waldbuhne in the pit...
That's three great shows which I thought could never happen after ABB 2007.
I could have done without Hyde Park I and Werchter, but hey that's live.

As long as they will still do the Lucky Dip tix, a lot of fans with limited rescources, will always have that chance of seeing The Rolling Stones before it's too late.
Then there will be big regrets.

Karl Denson appears to be a permanent replacement for Bobby and I have no problem with that, i've seen his band many times and they are great. I think he's a solid fit for the Stones...
Ronnie: “We’re thinking of keeping Karl on, because he really loved Bobby’s work.”

what a strange quote. I would think they would keep him because he plays so damn well. Is loving Bobby a pre-requisite? I guess they are keeping Chuck because he loved Stu and Nicky's work? peace

I wish they would release more new stuff too. And play more rarities. I also joined the tour in 1975 and have seen every tour since then up until the last LA Mick Taylor packed Staples show, which was just great.
I am here to encourage you to go again if you get the chance. Remember the energy and high of seeing them live is an unbeatable feeling. Being there for the warhorses, and a few choice cuts is still a great spectacle, and one that they never phone-in.
Cut them a break, every show they play probably has 50% Stones live virgins, and those virgins must be sacrificed with the same ritual we were sacrificed with, or their souls won't make it to Stones heaven!
I'm curious, Which songs would make you see them again?

The list I've seen has almost no shows in the cities on the '13 tour, no LA, no Vegas, no Boston, no Washington, DC...and they aren't playing MSG in NY again.
