Jeezus - another one? Must have been during Keith's set.

I'm gone for a few days and Mick gets pregnant?? I thought he had laryngitis.

I will say this: what a great crowd last night. No one once asked me to sit down because everyone in my section was up on their feet for the entire show with the exception of Slipping Away.

I heard that someone got smacked in the head last night for refusing to sit down during Keef's set. (And I had my own quasi-Altamont experience in the pit at Desert Trip #2 when a drunken a-hole got the sh1t beaten out of him.)

The person sitting next to us back at the rear floor was using binoculars and said he saw someone barf right near the catwalk.
Can't recall during which song, but probably during one of Ronnie's solos...

Ronnie's new guitar. It's a Danelectro '64 reissue.



Unfortunateley he could not finish the song with it because of problems with the wireless transmitter.

Cool! For which song did he use that one?

Brown Sugar

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Las Vegas and safe travels on your journeys back home.
Still in Vegas for tonight in order to finally catch some sleep after a crazy intense adventure to meet some of you and see the Stones in Vegas.

This was one of my more complex travel projects as I had to obtain a visa, go through all sorts of formalities and planning during the past three months in order to reach Las Vegas and meet my Stones friends from all around the world and also to make new ones.

I love the community and the wonderful people I meet on the way, Wednesday cancellation was bad however in a strange way I think it was better that we were together and supported each other and even Mick!

Now about the show, I didn't particularly enjoy this arena, the sound was strange but guitars were loud however the bass was a little too low.
I liked how they step in for each other and put a little more effort to cover for one of them who is a less optimal moment.
It was my first 3-song by Keith set and I loved it, I had yet another new song with the blues and I got to spend the concert with Mr Foxy on a very precious pair of lucky dip tickets.

I've so far worked on a daily video for the whole adventure, starting with Desert Trip, all videos are available in the playlist link below.
I want to thank everyone who wanted to be part of this little video, for me it's a very valuable memory, will try to come back with a more accurate report after some recovery time!

I make daily videos on the tour at [youtube.com]
Going to: London - Manchester - Twickenham - Berlin - Marseille - Prague - Warsaw

I'm sorry to say the last 3 shows were a big disappointment. I think they should have made Cuba their last live performance.....

Stunning. Posted by Michael Kaz who seems to have most (all??) of the show in similar quality. Awesome.

WOW!!! He does have amazing sound and sight quality. Thanks for pointing him out.


And he has a ton of other videos of live music (some groups of my tastes some not) with the same quality, and surprisingly few views or subscribers. He is one of the good guys on youtube with no ads.

I didn't see that happen in the pit, but people were very aggressive during the Stones set. Totally different vibe on the other two nights.

....A lil touch of Robert Johnson in da middle of Rambler .....

I agree Friday had the lamest crowd and the most tourists. Saturday was the best, Neil and Paul brought the love. Sunday was mellow - everyone was a little burnt.

The first show was cancelled (! Not postponed!) due to poor ticket sales for the second. I don’t think it will be rescheduled...

Chatted about this with a few people. How would this work? The Stones get paid by the promoter, so wouldn't have an incentive to cancel for poor ticket sales. The insurer won't cover a show cancelled for poor sales, they would likely insist on having Mick assessed by their physician or one they approve.

The same happened with some shows in 2006 which were postponed allegedly because of Keith' illness, but never rescheduled for 07, although Keith was okay again and plenty of space. And again: if the cancellation was not primarily for poor sales, then why did they not reschedule the 19th October show maybe for the 26th??? Probably Mick had in fact problems with his voice, but that wasn't the main reason for the cancellation.

A big disappointment to you maybe but you are in a tiny minority of people who went to those shows and think that so no they should not stop playing whilst the majority want to see them and they feel like playing themselves.

Maybe it is you that should make that your last time seeing them.

I notice Mick modifies the lyrics to "Ride 'em On Down" to "I got seven kids that look like mine" from Jimmy Reed's "three or four kids."
