Did anyone who went to the Kansas City show see or buy this poster or shirt design at the show?

Thanks for the excellent pictures Jim, and the video link of SFM Maumau !
The B/W photo where Mick looks like he's screaming at Keith's guitar is something I noticed a few times at KC.
During IORR, maybe where this pic was taken? I recall Mick bending down and sticking his face in the direction of KR's guitar as they jammed together. I've always thought the Stones were at their best when those two guys hit a certain threshold, usually inspired by the lick Keith is playing and Mick's approval seems to be displayed by this reaction.
It makes me realize Mick is a fan of how Keith plays in the same way many of us are, except he gets to be part of the moment by elevating it even higher with how he plays off those licks. Its pure rock and roll beauty.
In the SFM video he does it again, and that video helps show the passion we experienced during that song. The lyrics are just classic Stones,and when he screams "What can a poor boy do..." the intensity from Mick elevated everyone. Keith literally swings his guitar a couple times, and he also displays the same almost anger as he slashes the strings with the same force Mick sings the lyrics.
I've seen a lot of shows and I'll always remember that moment. When Mick throws water on us, and then kicks the bottle to the crowd, it was just that bad boy attitude that draws so many of us in. I was a couple seats down from BV and got baptized as well. This song was classic Stones, and I'm so glad I got to see it firsthand.
Praying they extend the tour and come to SF or Seattle!

I completely agree. I was in section E opposite from the baptismal section, and SFM sent chills down my spine. First it was the volume and rawness of Keith's guitar, then Keith and Mick completely in the zone and showing energy that blew me away! That moment is something I will never forget!

Also, has there been any song that has so consistently kicked ass as SFM since 2012?
I'm usually not one for the whole warhorses concept, but if you're going to have them, then include SFM!!

We saw that poster at one of the tents. Interesting - they were not numbered. (The posters we saw were not numbered. Possibly others were?)

While Rambler can be hit or miss for me after hearing what MT contributed and the amazing 70's performances, SFM has been a truly great live tune since they first started playing it. There was a good reason they closed the show with it in 1969 and it's somehow maintained it's live impact 46 years later. More so than many of the others from that period, imo.

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.
