The Sicilian
Some things that stuck out in my memory:
The crowd stood in the entire stadium from beginning to the end of show, pumping fists, jumping around, dancing, and yelling in a typical rowdy Buffalo atmosphere.
Using the binoculars, I noticed at the corners of the floor at the beginning of the cat walk is marked with a strip of green and orange tape maybe to prevent Mick or Keith from falling.
Mick spits on stage and in the security space a few times and pretty heavy.
Keith and Ron both playing lead over each other on a Tumbling Dice chorus but the song was brilliant.
Micks teleprompter.
Mick and Keith are more friendlier and interactive with each other.
CYHMK was great to hear. But hearing YGMR was a little letdown except the crowd loved it.
Wild Horses was played like it being taped for a CD, almost a flawless version.
Then that dreaded cow bell...
Loved the Rick James snippet.
Wondered why Mick waits until the church choir is on stage to drop the lone F-bomb on the crowd. He has done it in other cities too.
Jagger seemed to be dancing and running around a lot at this show, especially in Out Of Control.
Love the concert atmosphere inside and out. The hotties were out in force tonight including many gorgeous Canadian women.
It's always a good feeling when The Stones are playing your city because you know they belong to your town for the evening with a couple nights to spare.

My last scared Stones shows from 1997 to 2005 I really thought that Keith was jus posing...a shadow of his former self. A clown on stage, trying to entertain. Same with Ronnie. The guitar-dominated band I grew up with was gone.

Well, with some of the reviews from this tour talking about guitars being up in the mix, particularly Keith's and Ronnie being on fire, etc....I thought were just exaggerations...written by fans who were trying to be kind. The Stones probably walk on water in their eyes and can do not wrong.
I cannot believe how wrong I was! Last night Keith played like a man with a mission. He was BACK. He played passionate, powerful rhythm and DROVE the band. When he took a lead, he was tight and focused. His two song journey to the microphone was actually GOOD. Normally a beer/restroom break for me, I could not leave my seat or stop watching him and Ronnie.
The Stones of the early- to mid-70s were back. Guitar driven. Loud.
Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Wild Horses were highlights for me. I had heard several bootleg versions of CYHMK and they were horrible. No power. Keith messing up his parts. Ronnie's leads weak and unfocused. Sometimes with a slower tempo. Last night they killed it. Karl and Ronnie played off each other nicely. Karl seems to have really settled in with the band.
Wherever they extend this tour to...GO. YOU may have seen them 20 times since 1978. It doesn't matter. This is a re-invigorated band, a different experience than virtually every Stones show I have seen since first seeing them in 1978.

The only low points for me in this show, and they weren't very low, were still having Miss You in the set (but the crowd loved it so I can see why they play it), and playing Out Of Control and You Got Me Rocking (which while both good songs, I have seen both played several times and would have liked more Sticky Fingers...but both were played well and the crowd especially loved You Got Me Rocking).
