MSG is NOT overrated. Not sure what these people are smoking. It's the worlds most famous arena. Ask Walt "Clyde" Frazier!
I have mixed emotions about MSG. It is a terrific and legendary venue, but the crowd seems to be a bit spoiled. I remember the Bigger Bang show in 2005. The sound was fantastic and they played a fantastic show. But when Mick introduced a new song "Rough Justice", people from every section stood up and went out to buy popcorn, hot dogs, chips, beers and sodas. During "Back of My Hand" people shouted from behind that I had to sit down, and when I refused to do so, someone threw empty bags of chips and other garbage at my back. I then choose to sit down. During the new slow version of 19th Nervous Breakdown, even more people left to buy even more food, snacks and drinks. People seemed to be standing in lines to get out from every exit inside the venue. Too many people watched the show like they watch TV, at least during the first part. During the so called warhorses, all people stood up and paid more attention to the band. (And some wonder why they play Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar and JJ Flash at every show.)

I was at MSG just last week to see Iron Maiden. Met some other fans at the train station in New Haven and we traveled down together and back. I had a great time...it is NOT a dump in any way, shape or form. Anyone who says that has either never been there or is simply trying to be a contrarian prick.
I was at the 2003 MSG show that was televised on HBO. Amazing concert. I'd go see the Stones there again in a heartbeat.

I couldn't agree more keefriff99. The Garden is great I've seen lots of concerts there. Most recently Billy Joel. The Stones maybe 15 times. My first Stones concert was there June 22,1975. Took the train from Bridgeport. Stones fans. The Garden is cool!

Completely agree with this sentiment. I've been to MSG a few times in the past year and it is truly a phenomenal place to see a show. The Garden has improved significantly since 2005 or 2006, the reference point for a lot of Stones fans on this forum. It is as aesthetically nice as it is sonically pleasing.
So what, EVERYONE gets up to take a leak during Piss YouQuote

Although the set list was fabulous, I hope they are more moderately priced than the 2012 shows.

The Stones also love touring when there is a major soccer competition in play and this summer - from June 11 - we have Euro 2016.

maje that : "I'm sure the 2012 shows will seem moderately priced compared to what they'll announce for the indoor 2016 shows"

Not me! But I don´t care if some do. And I don´t care that others around me don´t care about the show. I don´t care if people chose to waste $500 on a ticket for a show they don´t care about. But I think it is annoying when people talk so much that it becomes difficult to pay attention to the music. And I think it is annoying when people expect you to sit down 2/3 of the show, but you have to stand up to give room for people that are walking in and out all the time to buy pizzas, nachos, hot dogs, beers and cocktails. And it is annoying when people behind you who are talking most of the time gets annoyed when you stand up to watch Mick and Keith having a great moment on stage. But I don´t want to sound too grumpy. I love MSG (probably most because of historical reasons) and would probably go there again to see The Rolling Stones if they return in the near future. All I´m saying is that in my experience the crowd there seems to be a bit more spoiled than other places I´ve been to.

Y'all sound like you're talking about LA.
MSG has had the best Rolling Stones fans outside of Las Vegas.
That's right.. Vegas. It has been my favorite city to see them in for the last 15+ years. Fans are there to have a Good Time and Stones fans come from all over (first met bv there, by chance) the world because its cheap and easy (like me).
Can't wait till the next one.
