3 a.m. Time for bed.
Didn't see it but i did not see every song broadcast. The Tele I was referring to is a butterscotch, perhaps an Esquire single pu but it was not a clear shot. Despite the bad focus I can pretty much say 90% it was a real vintage 50's Fender.Quote

Is Ronnie using the Fender Telecaster black and white checkerboard design like he used in The Birds (UK)?
Yup a clamp, steady power and a descent spot. Unauthorized if need be but crappy media does no one any good. The Stones are all about quality but technology is slightly ahead of their usual understanding. It is a difficult conundrum for them and their promoters.Quote

crazy fun, scoping is what it is and the broadcasters are heroes but in this late date for the band and all that's available it's a missed opportunity to give the greatest fans in rock a pleasurable, simple experience and broadcast
It is silly that volunteers have to step up and do the heavy lifting and battery buying phone holding and buy a ticket. These scopers are heroes but there is no good reason why the band can not do a little something to make this work better.
It doesn't have to be an official effort, it could be done back door by quietly and cheaply funding some people to travel around to shows and get them in for free and sit them in left upper, right upper and straight away upper (upper because that is where the best signal is and the sound is fine up there).
Set the people up with good quality phones and extendo batteries and maybe a way to clamp the phone onto a rail or something. Then tell the people to act like they are just normal scoping fans aa they broadcast the show like everyone can.
It would cost a pittance 9compared to (other production costs) and would make watching shows a lot more fun than calling out for a MEDIC!! BATTERY DOWN!! NEW SCOPE STAT!!! as we scramble to find another scoper, as one battery after another dies.
All bands could/should do this, why wouldn't they? The technology is in place, it is just a matter of 2-4 people doing it every show. If they have a problem finding anyone who wants to do this, I would do it... but I would be happy to defer to Debbie or Pancho if they want to do it.
