Hey Cristiano I just noticed that the pic on soundcloud.com where you uploaded my recording of SG actually has me in the pic! That is me in the blue shirt, aisle seat in front of the screen. How cool!

What a coincidence! That pic was taken by a friend of mine who was there yesterday - at 14th row, if I'm not wrong. Earlier today he sent me some of his pics, and when I was posting your audio file I chose a random photo.

Cristiano... is your friend named Fernando?

Yep, that's right. Do you know him or have met him yesterday?

Met him yesterday - my wife and I sat beside him on row 14.

I think they sounded really good from the Periscope clips I heard before falling asleep when Miss You started. If anything, I think the band's playing has surpassed Mick's singing. I've come to believe that he will not sing a lot of the songs because he can't sing it with the growl or earlier high pitch that he used to.

But lets be honest, many here are grading the entire setlist off songs 6-7-8. I personally think it is a BIG letdown as soon as I hear HTW fall in at number 9. Essentially the show is over at that point. No surprises, no extra numbers, the same woo hoo's and everything in order. Sure it's nice to hear the old favorites but I really want to hear them work at some of the other stuff. At least give it a shot. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, but the effort is appreciated.

Got back home from the show around 1:00 am, crawled into bed around 1:30, and I'm here with my cup of coffee, ready to post some thoughts about last night's amazing show!

First of all, I did, indeed, stand out in front of the Varsity with my small "IORR.ORG" sign, and was promptly told by Atlanta Police to move along, "you can't stand here." Wow. 60 years old, and hassled by the Police at a Stones concert! (not really, he was actually very nice about it). Still, it was almost like the old days! Glad I decided against trying to put together a musician jam session out there, because it would have been very short lived.

So, I walked a block away, over the bridge, and hung around there (with my sign) for about 30 minutes or so. I had at least nine IORR posters stop by and introduce themselves, nice folks and very pleasant conversation, so it was a good start to a great evening.

The big moment for me in the show was the threesome of Can You Hear Me Knocking (FINALLY, I got to HEAR that one LIVE!), You Got to Move, and Some Girls. Blew me away, just one of those great concert moments where you are dancing and singing and smiling and having a fabulous time.

I was in the upper deck, and was surrounded by many folks that were "first timers," and everyone left the show very impressed. In fact, there were so many people that I met last night, on MARTA, everywhere, that were seeing their very first Stones concert. With that in mind, it is easy to understand why we get the warhorses every night. We die hards love the deep cuts, but, with this group last night, a performance of Parachute Woman or Loving Cup would have produced a lot of shrugs and quizzical looks.

Last night, though, was a great evening for everyone, regardless of your favorite Stones tunes. I hated to miss Moonlight Mile, but hearing CYHMK more than made up for it.

Ronnie was hot as a firecracker. Keith was a little shaky on Happy, but seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself. Charlie was solid as a rock (teenage girls sitting next to me: "Boy, he REALLY looks old!" ), and what can you say about Mick......still the best front man in all of rock and roll.

All in all, of the 10 Stones shows I have attended, I put this one in the top 5, and that is more than remarkable considering these concerts have covered a span of 40 years.

Now, guys, before we open up the vaults, how about ONE more studio album?

Sure it's nice to hear the old favorites but I really want to hear them work at some of the other stuff. At least give it a shot. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, but the effort is appreciated.

Today was a chemo day. So I was re-reading Stanley Booth's book on the 1969 Tour. He supports his narrative of that iconic tour with chapters on the Stones pre-1969. He wrote about Mick talking in 1966 about the need to play the tunes their audiences wanted and expected to hear when they played live. Sound familiar?

I suspect most of the people who contribute to IORR have seen more than one Stones concert. Way more than one concert. Some, like bv, schedule their lives around tours. A sacrifice to be sure, but more power to you, bv! We are the richer for it. I also suspect a large percentage of those in attendance at Zip Code shows have not seen the Stones more than once or twice. Maybe never. They want to hear and see the Stones perform JJF, BS, MR, SFM, HTW, GS, SFTD, SMU, etc, etc, etc, with their very own ears and eyeballs. Doing Sticky Fingers in its entirety worked at the Fonda. It may not work in front of 50,000 people who paid handsomely to see a historic band they may see once every 10 or 20 years.

I watched some of Dallas on periscope. I thought they sounded great! And all the tunes I heard were tunes I've heard many times before in concert. Instead of complaining about the set lists, let's enjoy what they play. It's possible that the Rolling Stones may know more about what works in concert than most of us IORRians do.

That's what I think. Any comments from the diverse world of IORRland?

We were at the Varsity around 6:00 and didn't get to see you. Thanks for your efforts. Maybe next time wear an IORR tshirt even if you have to bootleg it.

Sometimes I can't help but think that as successful as Mick has been, that He might have been even more successful (i.e. in his solo career) if he wasn't so worried about being successful

That being said, when it comes down to it all I care about is that they keep going as long as they feel that they are healthy enough to do it, because watching that periscope might have made you feel a little bit better on a crappy day, and ultimately, that is all that this whole music thing is about.

I took my 28 yr old son who had never seen them. He hugged me 5 different times during the show thanking me for "The best thing he has ever seen".

I sold two tickets on Stub Hub that I bought on E-bay from someone who bought them from Stub Hub first. I had my sale cancelled and charged back to me when the people who bought the seats on Stub Hub couldn't get in! I got a refund from the guy I bought them from on E-bay but I think I should get a refund from Stub Hub. This was not my fault! I heard that Ticketalternative had old and new codes for the same seats. I am not happy! They are all in this scam together in my opinion! Comments? It was a fantastic show! The Stones were on fire!!!

No worries. I was very busy in Atlanta... just arrived into Orlando, have to change hotel, too bad, will be online tomorrow and update pages reports etc.

Altanta was great, very humid. Mich was sweating like crazy, same with me, hot hot hot humid humid humid. Long live the Stones, Southwest and small intimate hotels in Orlando. So great I found a new hotel and got to dumb the big ugly one. More tomorrow.

The guitars gave me a 1978 feel! Lovely version indeed!

Mick is just struggling to find the pitch in the beginning (Like on 2000 LYFH in Glasto). He did great after than. He's a pro, trooping on anyhow
