I second all that. sweet neo con's photos are also fantastic and Dreamtime's videos are likewise really special - thank you all so much for posting these memories of this wonderful show. I was at the front rail and can see the back view of me in the videos jumping up and down and in some of the photos trying to take photos of my own. Charlotte Watts (joined at one point by Sally Wood) was my neighbour down there. I am hoping for more of SMU - the only one I can find moves away from Keith at the precise moment when he threw me a radiant smile and mouthed "hi baby"! Even my neighbour on the other side of me went nuts on my behalf... SMU is now my new favourite song
That apart, I am still buzzing from this great show in a great little city, which I had the fortune to be shown around by a resident fan. Of the four shows I saw on this tour, Milwaukee ranked number one (with Nashville second, Orlando third and Pittsburgh fourth). I am not a stadium fan, so the venue was a big plus for me from the start and proved to be even better than I had imagined. And I think it rubbed off on the band - the energy was really high and I got the sense that they were really loving the whole occasion. I don't know why anyone would think the on-stage camaraderie is fake. When Mick's smiles are genuine, they are visibly so, as they were on Tuesday. And the fact that they all spontaneously walked down the short catwalk for a second bow was a sign of how much they enjoyed that show - and no wonder either with such a rocking audience in especially close proximity. I have never seen a rail or seats so close to the stage before in a venue of that size.
I hope that was not the last time I'll ever see the Stones, but if it was, then I couldn't have hoped for a better grand finale.
Now I have to wrap my head around seeing The Who in Hyde Park tomorrow and am not sure I'll fully succeed. They are my second favourite rock 'n' roll band but my head full of Stones joy doesn't yet feel quite ready to turn its focus onto anything else.
To all those attending shows on the rest of the tour, enjoy the hell out of it!

Someone needs to go back and look at/listen to the video of whatever song they're playing
and I'll bet something happened on stage right that, at least MJ, KR & CW all found humorous.
That's Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Mr DJA - I hope you find videos that hold the answer

Let me start by saying that I have not caught up with this thread as of yet, so I apologize if I repeat some things others have reported. I have glanced at some of the photos and they are impressive - wow to Jim and Sweet Neo. Dreamer; I promise to watch all of your videos.
Our Milwaukee experience was fantastic. .

Heartbreaker was indeed well done. I haven't liked it much on previous tours, but this version was a nice rougher one. And again, Mick was spot on. He really shined on every song at this show!
Really? I didn't hear that at all. I thought he did a great job. I mean, yes, he doesn't sing the chorus like the album, and hasn't really ever (LA??). But it worked. I enjoyed it.Quote

Seriously? I am glad you liked it mate, but for me Micks vocals didn't do the song justice at all. Verses were ok but he was obviously struggling to find a melody when the "heartbreaker" lines came along. Perhaps they just need to play it a bit more but, like I've said, I believe since it didn't really work that well that this is the last we'll see of it, unfortunately.

How anyone could think that they botched Heartbreaker more than HTW is beyond me, HTW was a complete train wreck and any other band would have stopped and restarted the song.Quote

I thought they rushed thru Heartbreaker and Mick looked miserable all thru it. For me, it was the least well-performed song of the evening. I was a bit disappointed by it. It's great that others enjoyed it, but I would bet they don't play it again this tour.

excellent videos. thank you. if i remember correctly...you bought a new camera and brought a monopod into the venue (pretending it was a walking cane). right? and there are many times in your videos when "security" seemed to be looking right at you. not sure what your video cam looks like or if you kept the monopod hidden but...did you ever feel at risk of getting hassled or kicked out? just curious.
