[The person Mick takes the cellphone from] was probably someone from the crew. A total setup and part of the show,
meticulously executed to draw the audience into the performance.
Awww don't say that! Even though I was wondering the same thing in a cynical little corner of my mind
It's hilarious anyway. I love the Rolling Stones
PS: Aha, so it is a crew member, and it goes on the big screen when he does it:

And as I said above: It's hilarious anyway. And I love the Rolling Stones
The periscope was expired for me so I couldn't see it--you are saying it was clearly a crew member who gave up the phone? You know I didn't think Mick was so spontaneous to do something like that with a random fan, didn't occur to
me that it was a set-up. Thanks, you two. Very funny.

LBA 72:s assessment is about right. And it's not age alone that makes the difference. The passion and the ardency has grown weak over the years. Which is understandable.
Especially since they seem to repeat the same songs over and over. The real question is whether it's still good enough. That one is up to everyone to decide for themselves
yes that's it as i said
and yes to each his own
in fact I hang around this fan board because i decide that it is still good enough.
probably I won't be looking for periscope of their current shows or be here discussing their performances if I had decided otherwise
probably i would not be around here if listening to midnight rambler brussels 73 would make me sick about midnight rambler kansas city 2015
i am not here because i think they play better now than then
i am here because i still get the kicks out of them most of the time
and i love them for making me feel this way

I can only speak to what I saw. I was about three rows more toward the main stage when Mick did the phone thing ( did it twice, by my memory - one selfie and one was maybe a video? or multiple photos ) Both times he pointed at someone in the audience, and gestured to them, and they handed their phone, out of a sea of them, to security, who then handed it to Mick. He then did his thing and tossed back into the general area of the crowd. Everyone was pretty well behaved, and I saw the hands that caught the phones both times... were they the owner's hands? I don't know. I like to think the phones made it to their original owners. It was very fun, and didn't seem like a setup from 10 feet away.

There she is: our IORR reporter of the month!
Do you know that lots of people here are right now listening to the persicope feed you broadcasted? Someone managed to capture it and put it on a wetransfer for everyone available.

You did a great job with recording that show RS!
And the rest of your accomplishments indeed are MAGIC.
Thank you so much!

Sinkiller, I later edited the post that got quoted up there, as shown above -
I'm delighted if the cellphone routine is a genuine crowd interaction
and admiration overwhelms me for the Mick's quick ability
to figure out how a random cellphone recorder works.
I can't even figure out how my own works!
I love the Rolling Stones

It could still be someone from the inner circle "planted" in the crowd to pass a phone to the Mick.
I want to believe! But would he really be that cavalier with a random fan's phone, tossing it back any old which way?
Either way it's a great move, and either way I love the Rolling Stones.

Funny you should say that about admiring him for being able to work the phone. I was behind him while he was looking at the phones, and I could see his hand moving around on the face, and that was my exact thought, "How in the world is he going to figure out how to do that quickly enough to keep going on the song". But... he did it.

We were 7 rows or so, directly in front of the cell phone interaction. There were two separate instances where MJ retrieved and used a phone. He did get the phones from approximately the same are of the crowd, but I don't think it was the same phone. The first time, it was a bit of a challenge for MJ to get the phone. He reached out quite far to get the phone. In fact, for a second or two, I did not think he would get the phone.
I was a total believer. I thought he did a spectacular job of interacting with the crowd. Not once did I think this was staged.
Imagine if he had grabbed the phone we were periscoping with..... How cool would that be?

He attempted this the show before in Milwuakee during Heartbreaker- and after motioning for the phone , never got the one He wanted , and wentback to the song

I sent my review to BV so hopefully it makes the review page, but a few quick observations:
Like most, I was completely blown away with SFM. The intensity and passion from Mick and Keith was electrifying, at a level higher than I've seen them at in recent tours. That song was worth the whole trip there, but the rest of the show was awesome too! This is my new favorite song. TD was it until Rambler blew me away on the 97 tour and its held that spot until SFM just blew the doors off. I can't wait to see a good video of that performance and hopefully it can capture what I experienced as that was one of those special Stones experiences we all keep coming back for.
The camaraderie between Mick and Keith seems to be as good as I have seen it since the 70s, and the whole band, the whole organization, is in the groove. Its pretty amazing to witness, and if you can get to a show, now is a good time based on what I saw in KC.
The only regret I have is I didn’t get to see Moonlight Mile, and I can't see any more shows until South America.
