So - are there any videos yet? I couldnt find any. No cameras allowed? Looks like a fantastic set and a fantastic tour to come.
Cheers

It was apparently proshot, but no cameras or smartphones were allowed it. Also, this was a one-off setlist. I guess they might retain one or two of the deeper cuts for the stadium shows - hard to say which ones.
They film every show so notning special about that. But according to BV and a few others there were a LOT of cameras and mixing desks in the room so hopefully they will release this show togheter with the Sticky re-release.

I have the right to my opinion and i have never called anyone "awful" because of that.

Does any one know how to interpret the hand written notes on the set list marked "spare"?

BEST SHOW EVER
I have been on my feet today since 7am in the morning, and I am resting my tired feet and drinking Budweiser now. Trying to write up a short report before I fall to sleep. The short version is this:
BEST SHOW EVER

It's 4am LA time, I'm back in my room. This is my perspective. I know this is the best I show I have ever seen. Bottom line is that flew to LA. Got a nice hotel room, and then bought a ticket then partied before and after the show with my own money. No favors from anyone, which is the only way I travel to Stones shows. I am just a fan. I have been to many shows. A count or a list of them is not needed. If you want more details, ask on this forum and I'll tell you whether or not I will answer them. They are now only war stories. I am truly only about the Stones music and performances..

I am really worn out. It was worth everything I put into it. I can and will do it again and again. Thanks for your kind words. Are you referring to a tailgate party in Raleigh that is mentioned on another site. If not where is your party in NC. I rarely if ever do this, but based on my wardrobe choice that I have put together for upcoming shows, I will be wearing a ty-dye Stones shirt with gray shorts and slides. (I told you that I am into this shit)

Did they have a guest on stage? Cause "Guest" is written on the lower left side of that setlist

Michael Spare was one of the handlers of the instruments during the set.

As for the performance, they are better than ever. I think it is because the whole total unit works better than ever. Bitch (L and G/STP) was my favorite performance until now. I know there was no Bobby or MT but it rolled hard. Moonlight Mile was truly moving. I did have a tear in my eye. Sister morphine is too personal to comment on for me. I just stood there in awe. I could go blow by blow on the rest of the set, but let me make it easy...OUTSTANDING!!!
My next show, as of now, is Atlanta, LD's with my aunt (followed by ORL,Nashville and Raleigh). Gold Rings on you all.
I will stay on for awhile if anyone cares to give their perspective.
How did You Gotta Move go down? Did Keith sing back up vocals on it?

a VIP corporate gig. would you expect anything less at this point? all of it so misleading--the faux twitter thing, the non-periscope event, the weird ticket "sale" - whoever works with the Stones on this crap is just so out of touch.and sadly, almost no buzz about this event today--no online trending, nothing. Old men playing by old rules, sorry. I'm sure the show was solid; they are still professional. But they're so out of touch.
There were many many fans including myself who were completely locked out. Announcing a club show on Twitter and making everyone log on to snag a little more than 100 tickets was an illusion to make it appear like it was open to the public. Truth was that by the time they announced the show this afternoon, 95% of the tickets were already claimed for by industry-types, people in the know and insiders who are connected to the band and/or related record company.
Club/theater shows are (were?) the only place where fans could have the band for themselves and weed out the industry type. Really a shame that a classic album was in essence wasted on this type of crowd. From the outside you could clearly see many many people leave after 15, 20 minutes after the show started. They would still not let people in. Fans who waited all day at both the El Rey and the Fonda were shocked that they were locked out.
If this is how the band wants to handle club shows from now on---I'd rather they not come back to LA.
such a shame to treat real fans like this, but no one can hardly be surprised.
You people are awful. The Stones owe you nothing, they can do whatever they like. They can hold a private party for their freinds and associates as a warm up whenever they like it. Be glad they invited some 100 fans to join in.

I'm very curious about You Gotta Move too. I guess it was more like the Sticky Fingers version than the way it was played in 75/76, or what?
and there's no way they would do this in a stadium or arena, right (for good reason)? And haven't we known for some time that they were doing a small one-off with full SF to get a DVD?Quote

After this fantastic set we will be back to miss you and the rest of them on sunday.
I hope not! Certainly would be disappointing to this fan. Doesn't make sense
To spend all the rehersal effort, learning SF, for only one tiny free show.
Their web site says it was a "one time only" set list

Agree completely, Mathijs. What a group of entitled, spoiled brats who wrote those things.
