On occasion, Mick does make eye contact with people in the audience, as do Ronnie and Keith, of course.
Check out my book for instances of audience contact, in the chapter on fan interaction, up close and peronal.
I know, I've been surprised.
True, in general he's trying to reach everbody.
Angee, How can I get a copy of your book?
Thanks for asking, C! It's right here, not too expensive, based on interviews
with over 100 fans,
some of them on these pages. :
[www.amazon.com]
SOLD. I'm just beginning my own personal reading of the RS. I have lots & lots of ground to cover-yours looks like a good place to start.
If you are just starting out then I highly recommend Bill Wyman's first book Stone Alone as well. Stone Alone
Others seem to like his later picture books, which are nice, but I much prefer this one that gives us a great look into the early days and the 60's up until Brian's death. I always hated that he never did another like this covering later years.
In that case look for Mick's interview with Rolling Stone magazine from 1995, I believe it was. Very good interview. I envy you your position! I remember when I was starting out and buying every album I could until I had them all and trying to get my hands on all books and articles. Exciting!!Quote

Enjoy life, enjoy the fact that the Stones are rocking out in 2015 in stadiums. Life is short. Speaking personally, knowing the Stones are rocking out and playing ANYTHING is a wonderful blessing to the day. Some day in the near future, all of this will be gone and it will be a MEMORY. We are grateful the concerts of today are a daily reality. They don't need to do any of this. We are spoiled as a fan base. You can call it a money grab, but, quite simply, it isn't. They don't need any money to "grab." They enjoy playing for the masses and they enjoy traveling the world. Let's enjoy it with them. Life is hard enough. If the Stones are having fun, I'm having fun.

It would be abuse of this thread - or any other live concert thread - to post set list complaints. Truely. If you have complaints about the setlist then it would be OFF TOPIC to post complaints here. In fact it would be a campaign which is unacceptable here on IORR. Also, it is SPAM.
If you see someone who use IORR to campaign agaainst the set list on the wrong threads again and again please feel free to use the "Report this post", and I will look into it. I may not have time to delete many posts, but I may see if soneone should be closed out from posting for a while, due to the spam factor.
There is a tread for set list complaints : [www.iorr.org]
I am sure the Rolling Stones DO NOT read that thread. Also, I do know for a fact that they read a lot other here on IORR.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. This is a tour in 15 states, 15 cities, all over USA. 99% of everyone in the crowd have not seen the Stones in years. They want to hear the big songs. Any fan whoi love the Stones would love to hear JJF, BS, GS, SYMP, SMU and so on. Sure we love Lady Jane and Citadel, but they are not mainstream.
The Stones have finalized the ZIP CODE show. It is 19 songs, 2 h 10 minutes, one request, two SF songs, then one extra. Keith doews B4 and Happy. That is this tour. Please do not waste our time with campaigns to get back Mick taylor, another set list, other backup musicians and so on. This is the tour. Please use the current sest list as a base of positive comments. If you are geetting bored of the Stones as they do perform now, then sorry, you are on the wrong place here on IORR, posting on the live threads.
I would humbly suggest, then, that the "live show updates" threads be retitled "live show compliments." Then it would be clear to everyone that they should be posting only positive comments on the band's performance, and not critiquing the quality of the live performance.

Just downloaded the full audio recording from the Orlando show.
I'm worried a bit about how much Keef f u c k e d up intros and other things.
More than usually..
On the JJF intro, the IORR intro and first verse, Tumbling Dice intro, B4TMMR intro, on BS he stops in the middle of the intro for a second or so..
Maybe he just had a bad day, apart from that it seems it was a great Show.

Not really sure if he stopped playing or the FOH engineer just turned him down. I've seen Dave Natale do that before on the BS intro. I've got a feeling Mr. Natale has his hand on the fader for Keith's guitar whenever they start BS because of Keith's history of not quite getting it right.
Basically if you watch Keith's right hand in some video's you can see he's still playing but his guitar is suddenly inaudible, Ronnie is usually very quick to pick up the slack from what I've seen.

Maybe me, but, when was that last time Keith looked like having more more fun doing Happy. When was the last time playing and singing (Licks?). Now running around Ronnie. Sorry mate. Think he is back!
