Good for you and a great read ! Looks like you were quick on the draw, your neighbours must have been stunned but someone had to get that extra ticket.
From the RS review :Quote
The last Stones road trip included a guest spot for former guitarist Mick Taylor. His absence is particularly conspicuous considering the prominent role he played on Sticky Fingers, but the band managed to fully recreate most of those songs without missing a step. The one exception was the seven-minute epic "Can't You Hear Me Knocking." The Stones began with a grinding Richards riff, but then the guitars went soft and funky as the saxman Karl Denson took centerstage for a round of sultry, jazzy honking. Keyboardist Chuck Leavell played a rousing lead and Jagger shook a pair of maracas at the crowd, but guitars were nearly invisible for much of this beloved album cut. Taylor was missed.
Does it mean that Ronnie didn't even try a solo ? Why haven't any of the previous "reviews" mentioned that rather important event ?
Wow. Can't believe RS had the balls to state the obvious and even point out where he could have most helped out here. Good for them.
I curious how the slower and rarely played numbers like I Got The Blues and Sister Morphine came out. Obviously no complaints since most reporting here are calling it one of the best shows ever. Did they nail them? Was the crowd response good enough that Mick might actually include them both on the tour set lists?
Also, what songs beside Moonlight Mile did Mick plat guitar on, if any?
Hopefully one of you lucky ones who saw the show can clear up those two questions for me. Much thanks.
peace
Mick played guitar on "Whip", and quite well. I Got The Blues was one of the highlights for me. I would have loved a longer keyboard solo, I love me some B3. The crowd response was overwhelming. I was right in the front row and the band smiled all night. They loved the response from the crowd.
Now that's something I had been wondering about. If the invited crowd had really been 95% uncaring celebs and rent-a-models, they wouldn't have got that kind of reaction. As with Jack Nicholson, being a celebrity insider doesn't mean you can't also be a fan (though a few clearly weren't).
Well done funky415, and well done Zach - who could have held out for whatever the going scalper's rate was.
I guess the power of addiction (to social media) can sometimes overpower the magic of the music. Some people can not go too long without accessing to their phones, they need that social media fix.Quote

Where does that leave those dimwits that left after 20 minutes?

Still no crowd vids? [...] I'm sure someone in the crowd must have recorded it.

Once the magic of The Stone music is playing live in a venue everyone is a fan, I think it is impossible to not be a fan at that point. The music is that good and that magical.

I could not agree more, Leonioid.

Difficult to name someone who ISNT Ronnies pal actually.

I am still in zombieland following the show on Wednesday, even after the train ride down to San Diego last night. Did anyone mention that Keith left after the final song? Mick and the rest of the band sort of called him back. Keith went down the backstage stairs behind Tim and Karl, I thought may be they would have more encores, I bet Keith thought the same, as "Can't Turn You Loose" is not really BS, JJF or Satisfaction, but he came back and did the final bow. Also, what is Charlie doing there, messing around? I was paying attention to every split second of the show, but the final bow? ... It was a mess for me, may be to others too. I just could not believe it was over.
The last stadium show that I was at: Scott Stadium in Charlottesville VA during the bigger bang tour. Some bozo called in a bomb threat and the stage was evacuated while security went through the motions of checking out the stadium for a non-existant bomb.Quote

When was the last time they did a show without Keith singing 2 songs?
It seems like the Fonda theater concert was an amazing show.
Rock and roll,
