Real quick. I know this is slightly OT.

Does anyone have a wine choice for Thai chicken with peanut sauce?

SFD I love it! Great rendition.

A Riesling, gewurtztraminer, or Tavel Rose would be my initial thoughts, I assume spicy.

Sometime with spicy Asian food I just go SingHa.

Either way Enjoy!

The thing about "Hang on Sloopy" (or "Wild Thing" or "Louie Louie" for that matter) is that anyone (and I mean ANYONE) can play it with about 15 minutes of practice and it'll sound good. Would it have killed Mick to learn the verses? I would have loved to hear a full version. Great song.

Totally agree. To anyone in the front rows for future shows, please bring cue cards with the Hang On Sloopy lyrics. Thank you.

i can't tell who is being sarcastic or not. pandering to your audience in this way is straight out of the "nostalgia act" playbook, authored by neil diamond and slim whitman. not that there is anything wrong with that.

perhaps when they play in the south they should play "okie from muskogee"

NO, incorrect. I am giving my reactions to the replay of last nights show as I prepare Sunday dinner for the family.

Satisfaction is on now. I really like it.

Thank you for the wine selections, I am going with the Riesling.

The bottle of Uncle Bob's RED table wine that I unscrewed seems more appropriate for using on the carpet.

I'll let you know how it turns out.

Have a wonderful evening. On to Minneapolis.

But, there's a big difference, right? "Hang on Sloopy" is a great garage rock track that the Stones played on their 66 Tour. I'll take Sloopy, "Route 66" and "Bye Bye Johnny."

Watching the youtube clip I had the impression that the Mick wasn't expecting that O-H-I-O chant
and while he was focussed on figuring out what the crowd were up to, he neglected to come in for the verse,
the moment passed and the band circled just around until they could bring it in for a landing.

It was fun anyway, though.

When I go to shows I notice all the dudes like those in the background of that photo and think Boy, this crowd is sure old and then I realize that I fit right in. They sure look ready for Party Time. When i first started to going to Stones concerts you had to keep track of which of your neighbors was likely to vomit on your feet first.

Wasn't that just a one-off fragment in Paris?
Sort of like throwing Hey Jude into SftD at the 1969 Baltimore show

Thanks for posting all the fine photos, everybody.

They were sitting practically the whole time hah! I hope they enjoyed themselves. I think they may have been a little irritated with my boyfriend and I who were swigging beer and dancing the whole time

But we made friends with the older couple seated next to us, and I made friends with random ladies in line for the restroom... I tried to talk to as many people as possible! Everyone was so happy... It was a truly amazing night. I bonded over monkey man on the walk out of the stadium with another fan. It was all great until our walk back to our friends house went downhill... With me losing a shoe, and my boyfriend giving me a piggy back ride the rest of the way home... Lol

That never used to be the case. Arena shows tended to be much tighter. But I have also noticed that their stadium shows are much better than 10-20 years ago. Part of it might be improved technology so they can hear each other better. Part my be the fact that Keith and Ronnie stay "home" most of the time and don't wander out on the ramps as much. And, partly it might be because they are concentrating a bit more on sound quality.

Nice review Josepi! Thanks for that. I have to agree that sometimes the crowd can make or break a show and it sounds like the Columbus crowd was made up of pretty good people. Ohio obviously grows more that just good corn.

Great seeing the iorr ladies angee, Cindy C and TorontoGirl together and having a blast. Looking forward to some reports from them all.

I've got this kind of sick fantasy of ALL the IORR women together those three plus Sway, swiss, with sssoul, Green Lady, tauk, ShortFatFanny, stonesrule, brokecollegestudent, latebloomer, et al and some idiot comes into the bar and starts dissing the Rolling Stones. Something just kinda satisfying knowing how that would turn out. Ha! (I know Rockee...it wasn't the fantasy you had in mind)

My off the cuff observations about the show (from the live feed and videos), total armchair quarterback stuff.

1. It seemed a bit looser than San Diego musically as StonedRambler suggested. Perhaps they all got a bit too confident after the great Petco Park show. I think when they are all trying their hardest they achieve that loose wobble of Stones perfection and when they relax a bit it tends to sound a bit sloppy. Not that they had any trainwrecks and there were great moments but overall a bit too loose.

2. Micks vocals seemed much different than Petco Park. He was back to those pushed short phrases and sometimes affected singing. Not as musical or natural as we were lucky enough to witness in the first show. At times he seemed to stop singing all together like during Brown Sugar...not his best vocal performance.

3. The crew definitely made a stop in Colorado on the way to Ohio. Keith was baked! I'm even going to guess this was the reason Jagger seemed a bit irritated at him, possibly because he shared his stash with Ronnie too! This may have contributed to #1 above. Blame Colorado. But hey I've got no judgement or expectations concerning anyone else's sobriety, just a slightly (ok highly) educated observation.

4. Hang on Sloopy was a brilliant and well executed surprise. The crowd chanting O-H-I-O was pretty damn cool. The only thing that could have made it better is if they had played the whole tune or Ronnie would have ended the song with the intro lick to Neil Young's Ohio!

5. Lisa needs to learn how to sing backup vocals. Yeah she is a good singer but, imo, when you are supporting a lead singer in a backup role, you don't carry your phrasing past theirs and over do it to the point it draws attention away from the lead vocal. It might just be me but I think they should drop her and GS altogether. I'm actually quite shocked Mick let's her get away with that crap.

And before you all jump on me for my slightly critical observations please know that I love the Stones regardless and think these kind of comments are honestly what make iorr interesting and if "more than casual" fans can't be honest and have nothing to say but Cheers! Great Show! Go Stones! it all becomes slightly boring and adolescent.

peace

Ronnie looked kind of f*cked up and was constantly sipping from a red cup and smoking. Kind of have a feeling he is back on the bottle

I suspected something like that when I heard his solo at the end of MR. He usually shines there, yesterday it was erratic.

Exellent observations!! Also I would like add that if your seats are parallel to the Stage, views are obstructed from the protrusion of Video Screens. The Stones Stage on this tour obscures the view as you don't have the the angle to see the whole stage. It would be wise to take note of this fact. This is revealed by folks that took videos and are directly on the side of the stage.

In addition, why did they get off course after Wild Horses? It suddenly went from Wild Horses to War Horses. This cvoncert was clicking aand then resorted to the old song predictable song choices that leads us all to dread our own tickets for the upcoming concerts.

I heard it's in Ronnie's contract that he submit to a breathalyzer prior to each show.

Seriously though, Ronnie has had off nights since his recent sobriety so let's hope he's still thriving under the love of a good woman.

The guy on the ground was obviously selling counterfeit tickets. The smiling man was obviously just refunded money for counterfeit tickets he had bought. At least I'd like to think so.
