RS, sooooo good meeting you, your brother, and of course, cmc, your great dad. I'm glad we had a chance to hang out a little bit before the show and that you got the signed book. We are lucky to have you here, and you know you can always write to me if you need any encouragement toward your future goals or on any other matter. Your writing ability at your age, imo, is nothing short of astounding, as I told you. (Was that Shigeo and his wife you met, friends with Robert and Claudia?)
stonesfrnkk, what do you mean Milwaukee was a bad town? Are you talking about the acoustics of the amphitheater, the line getting in or what? How can it be so bad when you got to meet RS, me, and others? The weather was terrific for the duration, fwiw. Are you sure you didn't get what you need(ed), in any case?
The show really good, imo, excellent run of four songs mentioned above that aren't usually played. They were a few problems with acoustics in the venue toward the front which I understand from ifyoucantrock me were from the main speaker set up behind us several rows, rather than in front. The spirit and comaraderie of the band, incomparable! Finally, even more than that, as partly noted above, touching base with our illustrious leader Bjornulf, Beast, STG, RS, cmc, IGTBA, and others from various states and countries was very rewarding. Plink, I got your message, thanks so much, will try to get on that asap. I'm trying to think if I'm missing anyone, hope not. This may well be my last show, or nearly that, depending.
I got a Buddy Guy pick, after he threw several in our direction. In the end, one flew toward me on my right, but the guy on my left wanted it too. He said I elbowed him out of the way when we were both near the ground reaching for it. I guess I did, ha.

i think the periscope scramble has gotten ridiculous. i get the charm to a point, but my god, these shows are all pretty much the same, give or take 2 or so songs.
Yes I meant the security, at the venue! I didn't reacieve my pit pass until today it was Fed ex to me and there was a mechanical thing with my priorty so I had to purchase another ticket at the last minute, and I thought bring my confirmation to the venue stating my pit ticket was paid for confirmed and them my Fed ex tracking number and recept stating I was'nt going to receive my package in time would be enough and they were just totally screwed from the get go they were not going to give me my seat no matter what I had row ccc seat 23 it was all there for them I said let me wait until the show starts after a couple songs and nobodies in my seat let me have my seat.I don't want to keep carring on my rant. It was straight up wrong what they did that's all and I waisted all of Buddy Guy argueing with them it just shot me and the concert for me to hell!Quote

Moonlight Mile did indeed sound nice. Seeing Keith give Mick the "good job" tap at the end made me all warm and fuzzy.
Andrew! Here's another pic I snapped. I believe this is the "good job" tap you were referring to. Hope you get warm and fuzzy again.
True!Quote
DoomandGloomThe energy and excitement of the live show comes through somewhat. Us old music fans watching a geezer band are on the cutting edge, going where no fan has gone before. As far as all shows being the same, the more you watch the less that is true.Quote

The day that I have access to see a Rolling Stones concert being played live... and don't would be a day I would surely regret.

Periscope seems to be responsible for the lack of videos on YouTube?
The Dreamtime ones are really beautiful I must say

Heartbreaker was as good if not better than the (slow and dull) 1994 versions!
Kick the tempo up a bit and make Keef choose a fat tone and you'll have a winner!

You hear his tone when the song (the others) ends
It's fat...

Went to bed early and woke up late, sorry I missed the party. Funny to read through this entire thread, reminds me of a big family around an old 50's TV, trying to get the signal right. I can't see! I can't hear! Try tuning it this way, no that way! Green Lady was her usual oasis of calm.
Sounds like it was a great night, thanks to all for the reports. I'll see if I can tune into Debbie Tiger's feed on twitter later on and wait on the vids. Cheers everyone!

... but too low in the mix. Bring back the 1975 PA settings! When Keef started that one the building would shake!

Did you get all the songs Mr Dreammtime? I'm interested in Brown Sugar from the comments
I had to do my Auckland one holding the camera for the whole show,

THANK YOU so much, Sweet NEOCON! That helped a lot. My Nikon was NOT $350, more like $200-$230 range and I'm not sure I CAN change the settings to the degree that you can. I used to get hassled by security guards all the time but not the last 3 times. I may go buy that Canon! It would be worth it. PLUS, in the dark, it's hard to make ANY adjustments...and quickly. I think I do have concert/low light settings but not like you have. I'm going to print out your reply. Again, I thank you for giving such a detailed response! I used to use an Olympus camera/film that took awesome shots of the Stones ( which I wish I could show you) but film is ridiculous in concerts..changing every 36 shots!
