How can anyone feel 'let down' by the band 'not showing up' when they never at any time even hinted that they would perform at any of the shows?
I would have loved them to have played it, but they never said they would - so whats the big shock?
The Philly 'rumour' was utterly ridiculous and implausible and was never going to be anything else. Same with London, although Mick WAS confirmed as a special guest, in which case its understandable to feel aggrieved at THAT no-show. I spotted Jerry Hall in the crowd at Hyde Park so I was pretty optimistic at that stage that Mick would show up.
