Nice! Thank you for posting, roller99. Not that I was there, but there are a lot of well-perceived truths in that review.

I'll try and put in writing as much as I can, so you can be there in spirit. I'm still in a nether world. I went to work Thursday and had to leave, I could not concentrate. Now it's on to SD, perhaps MN and Buffalo. Is this really happening? It's almost like someone else went.

A glowing review indeed, although between 'has there ever been a drummer with a more efficient sense of economy than Charlie Watts, 73? There is not a wasted note' and 'songs like Sister Morphine and Sway that they most likely hadn’t played in decades live, if ever' her knowledge leaves something to be desired.

Yes, it's always nice to read good stuff about the band/people you like in a leading media but some accuracy never hurts...the points you mentioned as well as the lack of a teleprompter (that's the one thing that annoys me at shows these days as you can see Mick reading from it, out of habit/security because I don't think he had one at the Trabendo, no room for one?) she lauds, well you can see it on the pics on the previous page.

I would think a reminder is an essential safety net. Being on stage and forgetting the words or your place in the song are what nightmares are made off.

i actually think the mistakes are what make (or made) Stones shows fun. I think the more buttoned-down attitude that started in 1989 took some of the fun out of it.
there should be a thread on here about the best mistakes in concerts, i'm guessing those were some of the most priceless moments over the years.

You are right, a band without mistakes is likely not breathing. For this particular gig however Mick wanted to make sure it's release quality, i.e. no lyrical snafus on obscure numbers.

did anyone figure out why Keith flubbed the start me up intro at glastonbury? it seemed so egregious that i almost thought it was intentional.

Start Me Up at Glastonbury was a glorious effort. You have to mean Hyde Park. There has been a variety of explanations ranging from his scarf to a brainfart to him trying to shake things up in purpose. I go with Brainfart for HP #1 and making a joke of it at HP #2 and perhaps the same in Berlin

Now that the Fonda attendees here have started to be able to reflect on the show a bit, I was wondering if any of you could weigh in on instrumentation for the gig.
1. You Gotta Move: KR on 12-string acoustic for YGM. Did Ronnie also play slide (electric) on this?
2. I Got the Blues: Was it CL or MC who took the organ solo on IGTB? If MC, did he also break it out for JJF? It was Chuck.
3. Moonlight Mile: with MJ on guitar, did KR or Ronnie play acoustics? Did MC add string synth parts on this or Sway to approach the studio instrumentation?
4. Sister Morphine: Was everybody on electric for this? I have vague memories of MJ playing acoustic on this for the NS tour. MJ was just singing.
Thanks for any recollections you may have, and have a great time in SD tomorrow night!!

If there were a bunch of models and pretty girls down in front then they probay will release a DVD of the show. Are there any other shows Besides the Beacon that had models down front
I have never seen that many cameras in a club show before. Sure this was for a visual production.
