What is up with this Boston private show next week ?

Great photos Beast, bv and fleabitmonkey. Thanks for sharing.

My seats were on the left side of the stage at the rail and I could see Mick behind Charlie's curtain at the end of Keith's set. When Keith went to the back after he was finished Mick gave him a pat on the back and they spoke briefly. Was nice to see that.

Nice to hear, thanks for sharing.

Glad they pulled it off, would have been a dark cloud if they'd had to cancel both shows. I hope they come to their senses ticket price wise, they did it for Paris 2014 (Mick probably remembered the 2007 fiasco...) so they can do it again. They don't need to be the most expensive show in town to keep the flame alive.

Great timing by Keith on the rythm and riffs but the flubbed notes on the "solos" are really painful to hear, time to give them up before we move more into Chuck territory...

With Mick conserving energy for obvious reasons we get a better more tight band, Keith And Ron seem happy with Mick just in front of them, perhaps Mick tries too hard when he darts all over the stage, just my observation , happy band happy Mick surely.

Thank you everyone! I love coming here for the wonderful posts
full of excitement and splendid photos with the photographers' names!
and worthy youtube clips and fine observations of lovely details

I love those moments when you see the Stones' 20-year-old selves are still there, still in love with the music

I love the Rolling Stones

After the show I went to Freemont st , in Binions casino we came across some really cool looking Rolling Stones slot machines. Of course the Stones took our money here also.

We took some nice pictures of them but I do not know how to post them here from my phone. Sorry

There's a Rolling Stones slot machine built for 2 with seats in the
Hard Rock Lake Tahoe. Didn't get a chance to experience it, but looked like the best entertainment in the house. Glad you got to see last night's show.

Lovely pics, here and by Bjornulf on the Reviews page. And...did I see Ronnie hit Bjornulf on the head with his guitar pick at the end of LSTNT???

It was truly a great show! Lovely to get three from Keith, especially Slipping Away. Charlie, resplendent in tangerine tee and socks, was so strong - I especially love watching the interplay between Charlie and Mick on Rambler, with Charlie seeming to tease every lyric from him, and punctuating every line.

Exhausted and satisfied. Hope everyone else has a great time watching here or on Periscope.

Yes. The pick hit me right in my chest and I could really feel it. Then it bounced back into the sealed off area between the stage and the barrier. The security guy there gave it to me. He had 100% control at all times, when Mick was moving aroung. Great security by the way.

It wasn't me, it was already posted on Instagram that way. Very beautiful photo, btw.

Just look how during the intro Mick walks to Keith and gives him a wink when Keith looks at him <3 that is so lovely and is meant real, not just show business like during the OOC solo..

Spent the day out at the Valley of Fire yesterday which is absolutely stunning.
Only a one hour drive from the Strip, but seemingly a millions miles away from all the casinos, crowds, concrete, and chaos.
We've been there several times in the past, but it's always beautiful and changes depending on what time of year it is.
Temps were a pleasant 85F with clear blue skies, and it wasn't crowded which made it all the more pleasurable.

Valley of Fire

Made it back to Tropicana around 3:00 and started checking stubhub as I had a bit of interest in getting a pair of tix for my wife's birthday (it was either that or give her a large wad of cash to play at the blackjack tables).
I ended up doing both as I was able to get a pair of rear floor seats for a very reasonable $266 each.

We stopped by the Beerhaus on our way to arena at about 7:00 but it was still really crowded and didn't recognize anyone, so made our way into the arena. Bought a couple of $12.00 draft beers, and settled in at our seats with an empty seat on either side of us. Seemed like quite a few empty seats in the house initially, but eventually all filled up...wonder if they were giving them away?

It was a fine show last night. Mick did profusely apologize for Wednesday's cancellation early in the show, and then later made a joke out of it - "David Copperfield made me disappear" or something like that. He also joked alot about a new team name for the arena, but I didn't even know Vegas is getting a new team...is it the NBA? I've heard the Raiders may move out here, but that would be stadium. Vocally, he seemed semi-subdued throughout with less whoo-whoo-ing during Sympathy and the ending pf Brown Sugar's, "I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whooo!", but his physical command of the stage and catwalk was as good as ever - perhaps making up for his lack of vocal strength. I was pleased to here 'Lets spend the Night Together' - a tune that was not played at either Desert Trips. Ride 'Em on Down was nice enough, but lacked the punch of the Desert Trip take on it - maybe the element of surprise was gone, but it seemed a bit generic - nice harp from Mick though. People around us started chatting, and several took off for beer or bathroom. It didn't go down very well with the casuals. I was happy to hear Happy, but Ronnie was a bit heavy handed on the slide - where it's nice and delicate on studio version, last night it was a but sloppy and grumpy. Absolute highlight for me was Midnight Rambler, while my wife loved Gimme Shelter and the 'new singer' whom she hadn't seen before. Both of us loved You Can't Always Get What You Want -great choir, and it ended in a joyous stomp. Suddenly ending with Satisfaction, it was hard to believe they wittled down the setlist to just 18 songs, but who was I to complain. And considering Micks situation, I suppose understandable.

It's bittersweet to think this may be the last time (for me) of ever seeing the Stones again, but I've had tons of fun seeing them multiple times in a variety of venues since 1981 (stadiums, arenas, theaters, and clubs). I've seen them on average once a year for every year of my life, and the last few weeks with these three shows would be an appropriate bookend to it all. I doubt I'd pay to see them again in a stadium, and probably not again in an arena (unless the prices were right), and I certainly won't be making any long distance travel plans to see them. But when all is said and one, there's been far more good times than bad times, and they've provided me with memories and a soundtrack that will last forever. With all that said, never say never...looking forward to new blues album and whatever the future holds for the Stones.

JJF is on youtube: video: [www.youtube.com]

Mick is clearly saving his voice, either he hasn't fully recovered or else this might be permanent.

IMO, JJF doesn't sound right sung this way, and I would be very disappointed if I payed to see this.

Oddly sounds similar to Aretha's version.


Happy in B flat... A sharp. That's a bit odd, innit?

Just watched JJF. I am really impressed by Keith's guitar playing and perfect timing
