It is great reading through the comments from people who were at the show and saying how good it was. Of course we have to go through the hassle of scrolling by the usual supsects who are doing what they always do (complaining about set lists) but at this point they are comic relief, they can not be taken seriously. The set list compainers are as out of touch as senile ole Gramps and they just can not grasp the fact that all of their set list complaining is not going to change at thing. All the complaints do is clog the threads, which is probably their objective.

Great quote from fan, aged 64, in today's San Diego Union-Tribune (don't see it online yet): "At our age we have to start thinking about what kind of world we'll leave behind for Keith Richards."

Quit shamelessly dissing other posters and I'd have nothing to respond to. I certainly don't stalk your posts, it's hard to avoid them. I'm just trying to nicely point out that complaining about posters serves no purpose. This is about the Stones not your personal feelings for other posters who feel differently than you. It's about common courtesy and respect for others, even those with different opinions than yours.
Don't like that Mr. X doesn't like the set list, post what you like about it instead of calling Mr. X a senile grumpy ole man. Pretty simple really.
peace

CYHMK was great.
Really? From the clip online, it sounds like the guitar solo never took off, then went into the ending early, then kind of went somewhere before ending again.

Lisa Fischer told me she thought "Ronnie tore it up"….

That observation was posted here about a month ago, as a caption to a lovely photo of Keith in New York in March
Ah here it is: www.iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,2156228,2156344 - from KeithfnRichards

My only real gripe about the setlist is I don't see why CYHMK and Midnight Rambler both had to be played. Assuming they're still playing CYHMK in around 11 minutes and Rambler in 13-14 mins, those two songs took up nearly a quarter of the show. Now, I love Rambler and it's probably my favorite of the staples they play at every show, but I don't see why not drop it for this tour, have CYHMK as the long jam song, and that frees up space for either two more SF songs, or one more SF song and another non-SF rotating song. One small tweak would make us hardcore fans happier by playing more of Sticky Fingers (As well as making the setlist one song longer), and I doubt any casual fans would leave the show saying "Yeah, it was a good show, but I can't believe they didn't play Midnight Rambler". It's not exactly like they'd be skipping JJF or Satisfaction.
Otherwise, I think this set is about as good as you can ask for from a stadium gig.

Frankly, last night was the first time I thought the Stones showed their age (I was front row Ronnie side). The solos seemed to be a bit lost, the song openings seemed confuse, the song endings seemed confused, Ronnie & Keef didn't seem to work the stage at all (mostly just stood in front of the drum kit)...and Keef said we were about to get Can't Be Seen...and switched it out for Before They Make Me Run.
Jagger still seemed to be an energetic miracle, but the vocals were more talking/shouting than singing (yes, I know...this isn't new...just to a new level).
I had a good time, but it was the first time I didn't feel "this band is a FORCE." I get it was opening night...perhaps a bag of nerves in the mix. I'm sure the solos & endings will get tighter...but I don't get why the guitarists didn't put on a bit of a show (geez...didn't think Ronnie could avoid putting one on he's such a ham).
Oh, and on Shelter, Lisa didn't really stretch like she did back on Bridges. I'm sure her pipes are fine...but this missing piece seemed to fit the show...juiced up & sloppy. The show was a concert...not an event.
Just my 2 cents...I'm sure others think it was the greatest thing ever.
