That's right, it seemed that the striped wristbands were free (?) or heavily discounted upgrades to fill the area. There were a number of girls who came in an hour or more before showtime who were jumping up and down with excitement and couldn't believe their luck.
They will fill in any "empty" front of stage area from the general "campo". That is the purpose of the show. First you take the money from those who can afford it, then you fill up so that you get a great show. No empty spaces accepted.
I have been a "filler person" many times myself. Just walk around on the "campo" and look for the guy or the girl with the wristbands, approx one hour or so before show start, i.e. from 7pm to 8pm. And make sure you are on the corner to the pit, not in the middle of the campo...

I'm just as curious as to how many he has NOT been to.
I was there too but had to leave after MR, unless something unforeseen comes up I'm usually here for every show.
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind...
So very true!

Keith has had a lot of health issues since 89 and obviously he cannot play like he did in 89. It is hit or miss for him some nights, but in general, his playing has improved from 2012 and certainly from post brain injury on ABB. The problem,imo, has been RW is not a true lead guitarist...he and Keith have no real separation like the Taylor era and therefore the songs that require a real lead suffer. Instead, Keith plucks a chord here and there and the sound board enhances it imo...
Agree.
Both the posing and the wing it-approach used to be very tightly connected to what happened musically.
When Keith remembers this, once in a while, he's still making them magical sounds
wow....keith plays some of the meanest licks he has ever done. it's not about quantity man. those blueslicks cut straight through the bone . he has a total unique attack on the guitar and always plays a solo as part of the song....not to play a solo just because.
I don't think many people realize that's why they are addicted to the stones. It's the sound he makes man! Keith!!it don't get any realer....he's STILL the king. I prefer this solo over the 89 one...
If you can't hear the greatness in that you don't really get what extraordinary guitar playing is all about..and I don't care what you think of that, cause it's the truth ruth!
It's not a problem, it's an asset.
Thank you maumau, thank you Sasha and thank you Rolling Stones!
Even at that distance Sasha is sounding and looking rightfully confident now.
Bravissima!
So true. Let the other bands do the separation thing. This is what makes the Stones unique sound-wise, imo.
And it's wrong that Ronnie isn't a true lead guitarist. He was that in 1975/76, when it was required of him.
Dandy, I agree he was much better in 2012 than 2007, and I remember noticing him focusing, not posing. Now we get the old joyful, showy keith, with a few more lapses, but maybe better and looser in some ways. I still wish they'd drop sympathy.
Thank you Cristiano. It was really amazing last night in Woodstock.
Hopefully we meet again!
Darryl is just one of a kind and I admire his virtuosity!
Here's he's catched while singing just before performing his masterly solo on Miss You, Uruguay, February 16.
There was a British flag that someone threw at the stage at the beginning of the concert. Mick picked it up and put it on Charlie's drums.
Talk about your favorite band.

18 Songs Not enough
Please drop the long songs and replace with 2 songs
Gezz.... MISS YOU should never ever eveR evER eVER EVER be played live again. In the US I would bet
that less than 20% of the crowd even songs along anymore.
ITS TIRED
Did you go to the show? Miss You was very popular with the crowd, lots of singing, dancing. Keith and Ronnie is going to the B-stage on Miss You. Tim is playing a great sax solo.
By the way there is a separate thread for set list discussions, right?

VIP Premium A1 and A2 (sections in front of the stage) where not sold out on the day of the concert. They filled the sections up anyway. Those who had payed the regular price had blue wristbands (in A2).
Then there were lots of others with striped yellow/red wristbands. One of my neighbours said, people where sold tickets for less than half the original price. Does anyone know what the deal was exactly?
It was my underatanding that somd lucky people from the campo were let in to fill up the empty spaces. They were anxiously queueing to get in when I came back from the loo about an hour before the show. I saw the same thing happen in Vienna in 2014.

We, the fans who travel, are guests. We are not in the position to demand anything. The shows are for the local fans. Their voice is the only one I would listen too. I am greatful for being allowed into the venue with my ticket, even if I can't sing the songs, I don't know the culture, and I haven't waited for 54 years like some in Uruguay. I see them every time and I am just a spoiled superfan.
No wonder they don't play Doom & Gloom. So many other, more important songs in their history of now 54 years, in a market that hardly have seen the Stones over the past 50+ years.
Hola America Latina!

My goodness, what a poorness.
Is this the same musician who pulled off that awesome solo on the 1989 tour?

Keith has had a lot of health issues since 89 and obviously he cannot play like he did in 89. It is hit or miss for him some nights, but in general, his playing has improved from 2012 and certainly from post brain injury on ABB. The problem,imo, has been RW is not a true lead guitarist...he and Keith have no real separation like the Taylor era and therefore the songs that require a real lead suffer.

<but in general, his playing has improved from 2012>
No, it hasn't. On the O2 I-show he rarely made a mistake, and had an attack I hadn't seen since 2002 on some songs.
His playing today had improved from 2007, though – but in 2012 it had improved amazingly compared to 2007.
His playing detoriated a bit during the 2013 US tour, and became a bit worse after that (Hyde Park 2013, Oslo 2014).
It's still pretty cool on good nights, though. And there will always be SOME excellent playing from Keith in a Stones show (how much is depending on whether he has a good or bad day).
All imho, of course..

Agreed here too .
It's also worth reminding folks that Keith has always been capable of some horrendous playing and howlers.
It's sometimes just a function of his "wing it and and see what happens" nature... and sometimes due to his occasionally being more interested in posing than playing.

At this stage in the proceedings I think we can safely assume that Keith won't be changing his approach & attitude any time soon.
He's ploughed his own furrow for the last 55 years.. and the plough horses are still pulling strong.
