In the run of this tour, not everybody will like everything he or she gets to see or hear. And they will write about that in this forum. In my opinion that has not necessarily to do with a “bashing” of any kind. I will not take part in posting mean things towards my favourite band. I don´t mean to bore you, but that is important to me.
That said, the Hamburg-gig was simply amazing. Nothing short of it. And it had it´s special moments, i.e. solos starting on an unusual fret of Mr Richards guitar´s fingerboard. That´s not bashing. That is being there with all senses instead of just “being there (and being seen)”. I said it before, SFTD is a brilliant opener – just as many other songs would be. The first sound you wanna hear in a Stones concert is not necessarily a drumloop – or Chuck L. Great start anyway. Maybe even here a slightly slower version would even improve the groove – again just my five cents. SMU was my favourite, but so what – again no bashing.
Everybody changes, thank god. I start really liking Mick Jagger (after already having spent thousands of Euros over the years in order to hear “his” band)! He is so g r e a t! Same with the man from “Straight Outta Dartford”. The Man. No more words needed. Ronnie changes as well, he´s going through the roof. Mr Watts is the “Roll” in R n´R, the center that seems to hold everything together. Even in red socks, sharped dressed Charles.
Just because I am not one of those who would drink the water the Rolling Stones take a bath in, doesn´t mean I don´t love what they do! I do love all they do, especially on stage. And after Hamburg I´m sure we have a lot to expect. Get ´em while you can.
See you tomorrow in MUC – and take care everybody. (today´s a cruel date for me, all my love goes to Manhattan today)
Cheers, Fillmore

Good points overall! And I totally agree about the text I bolded. Slower versions often make a better groove.

A slower version of Sympathy...slower than it already is? The life is already sucked out of it with the drum loops and the plodding tempo.
How would making it slower help? Especially if it's going to be played as the opener? If anything, they should pick up the pace, or at least add something to make it seem livelier like some congas.

Great find! This is actually very interesting - it shows, that from the concept, there are two layouts of the No Filter Pit - with one central catwalk and with two catwalks on both sides. My guess is, that for some shows (possibly where there are no seats on the floor) we will get the "real" pit.

Yea, live congas, ala Hyde 1969. Hey, sounds like an easy gig/conga opener for the Stones.
Hairball, after me (ha) I want you to win the free Nanterre RS show.
Another thread you wrote 'glowing reports'
what if the reporter is not actually making descriptions of the band,
rather the experience left the ticket holder glowing?

It is a bit funny, but not a big problem to identify immediately those songs. To my ears it's more of an interesting way of presentation, than a mistake. At least it is something different than the usual thing.

I don't remember they toured Europe this late in the year before, and judging by the
youtube videos, I must say it is really cool to see them starting after daylight is gone.
The big screens, the fireworks, the lighting, it all creates a great atmosphere right
from the start.

I just listened at random to a sampling of the first 10 seconds or so of some of the songs from Hamburg the other night and I have a question for the guitarists in the audience:
What is going on?
Is it just me or is it becoming almost possible to hear the first few notes of songs like IORR, GS, BS, JJF, TD and not be entirely sure what song is beginning?
If you agree with this observation, what is its main cause? Misplayed notes, mis-timed playing, omitted notes? Something else? Is it just taking the band a little longer to "lock into" whatever song they are playing?
I don't want to draw any conclusions overall about the playing in Hamburg from online videos but I was struck by the chords being hit opening up some of the uptempo warhorses.

They did in 1973 but that was another era (indoor arenas and no screens) which can't be compared by this one.
