I still have some confetti. It's in a closet somewhere. Every time I see it, I just can't bring myself to toss it. Not a big deal. It doesn't take up a lot of room.

Even setlist.com doesn't have anything up except Paris (oh la la). I guess we'll have to hear from one of the couple hundred who actually saw the set. It was indeed sad and strange to see pictures of her performing to all those empty seats.

Here's some contemplations by one Andrew Miller, a man wo regrets missing out on the concert:
It’s 6:30 a.m. as I write this and I am staring regret in the face.
It didn’t have to be this way. I could have gone on Craigslist last night, found a seller, withdrew $150 from an ATM, arranged a hand-off, then gone on to experience one of the most memorable nights of my life.
What in the hell stopped me from going to see The Rolling Stones show last night at TCF Bank Stadium, mere miles from my front porch, for what was almost certainly the last time Mick & Co. performed in the Twin Cities? This isn’t the first time I’ve passed on going to an expensive concert — then regretted not going. I’ve always found it difficult to plop down mega bucks for just a few hours of entertainment. But according to mounting scientific evidence, my judgment is completely backward.
Dr. Thomas Gilovich, a professor of psychology at Cornell, has studied the correlation between money and happiness for nearly two decades. According to Gilovich’s research, there is no denying that buying material items makes us happy, but the feeling is fleeting. We adapt. We get used to that new Cadillac, big-screen TV or credenza. But for sustainable happiness and an ongoing sense of fulfillment, experiences have a much better ROI.“Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods,” said Gilovich in a recent Fast Company article. “You can really like your material stuff. You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, but nonetheless they remain separate from you. In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences.”
One would think this finding exclusively pertain to good experiences. Fear of a rainy evening or a sleepy performance certainly factored into why I passed on the Stones show. Could’ve been a bummer. But bad experiences, it turns out, can also provide us happiness in the long run. According to the same Fast Company article, one study conducted by Gilovich even showed that if people have an experience they say negatively impacted their happiness, once they have the chance to talk about it, their assessment of that experience goes up.
So, maybe you’re reading this and you’re a little hungover. Your feet hurt from standing on the wet FieldTurf for five hours, your ears hurt from the wailing of Ronnie Wood’s guitar, you wish they would’ve played “Paint It Black” and you’re thinking about all of the things you won’t do this weekend to offset the expensive concert ticket. Well, you played your cards right. Science says go ahead and enjoy the memory of last night for the rest of your life. I’m going to check the upcoming concert schedule now."
-It picks up on some thoughts recently posted about the private show.
@Naturalust Guess you feel different when it's your first.

well I'm doing it, so it's not a) impossiable, nor is it b) apples and oranges. Different style yes, but the concept can be applied via any band. Play the same list night after night, or mix it up and keep things interesting and exciting. Extend your crowd base some credit that they can grasp that you as musician don't want to play the same song night after night after night due to bordome, so guess what folks, you might not get satisfaction tonight. It is too late in the game anyways and I still go, but there is no reason other than lazyness that they can't have a rotating list of 60-70 songs to draw from each night. I hope I don't get Columbuse'd in Orlando, Pitt, Buffalo and Quebec City (edit- and don't get me wrong, I had a freaking BLAST in Columbus)

Man, is this descending into the toilet awful fast. Like I said, there are cheerleaders and worshipers, far behind the rational fan.
yep yep, agreed and understood. that is the last I'll say about it. Don't want to be the setlist whiner guy. going to five more shows. just hope in those i catch a one or a few of moonlight mile, all down the line, cyhmk, OOC. Otherwise, I can't stand waiting until next Friday in Orlando. Gonna be a long ass weekQuote

No disrespect as I would love for them to mix up the set list but the rehearsals would be longer than the tour to dip into a 60-70 song rotation. They have shown in the past to vary the set list on the 40 Licks tour for example but they seem to be on a tried and true course now.

i'm talking about their approach to the music. they obviously have earned it and do what the F they want. I go, i have fun, I love it. To spend all that money and time on doing this as a hobby is it no OK to wish for more?
Yeah, I know, I was just kidding you............
MORE MORE MORE.
A life of excess. That is what the Stones are all about.
Sex, Drugs and The Rolling Stones.
