I gave it the good old college try - but getting a connection and keeping it was difficult. I hope someone else had better luck than me. Even with a mifi with 4G and two battery extenders- nothing was working.

Thanks for all the shows Debbie!
Much, much appreciated.

Safe travels!

Sympathy.

Pista A, Ronnie's side. Excellent show overall . The crowd quite into the show. Sympathy as the opener, not really. Keith excellent, Mick also. Will write more, in a public bus now.

ALBERT GEA

At the airport, catching up on Barcelona... so glad they did Rocks Off! Really want to hear it at one of the shows. Sorry everything was so frustrating for you Debbie, you are a total trouper!

they should do gotta get a grip they should do something anything and quick.

Nope. They shouldn't. Did you see them in Hamburg? Anywhere on this tour?

Nope couldn't get over. Really want to visit Europe so badly. All my life I've wanted to go to Germany, Poland, Eastern Europe, as well as Switzerland, Norway and Denmark particularly interest me; If I could ssee and experience Spain; if I could have been at Glastonbury I would still be high from that one. Was Hamburg a pretty good show? I'll go back and listen to more of it, thank you. One of my life's loves is from Munchen, and I'm sorry to have missed Germany but in all honesty I might have passed on a stadium show just cuz I'm old and didn't like them when I was young and didn't care who was playing; I'm a crotchety old buzzard at forty, can you imagine the nightmare I am at over 65?

ROCKMAN

Just got back from the gig... my tenth but my girlfriends first.

Had a fantastic time in Pista A (keith side)...

Overall it sounded fantastic from where I was, I thought Keith played well - no glaring cock-ups all night(!) The ovation from the crowd before he did his solo spot lasted 5 mins - it was great to be a part of.

I'm glad satisfaction has returned to last spot - i think it gets a better reception than JJFlash and has far more energy - speaking of which the Spanish (or should I say Catalan) crowd were great - we were jumping up and down all gig - much better than in the UK (where we are from)

YCAGWYW followed by PIB and then HTW work as a three - really got the crowd going, same for GS and Satisfaction in the encore. I know we like them to play rare ones but when you are being swept along by the crowd on these songs its hard to wish for anything different...

One final point - I think Keith was sitting down playing on midnight rambler - maybe just to conserve energy a little - but hopes hes ok..

Great crowd, great night, even greater band!

The pictures are phenomenal--

Love reading the thoughts from the attendees, thank you, good thoughts for all travel--------

Just got back from a fun gig! Had Pit tickets. Crowd were brilliant, yes everyone had their phones out, but that's life now...
A few comments:
Jagger is unbelievable. The energy, the commanding of the band, what a showman.
Solid performance from Ronnie. Really carries the band along, you can see him guiding Keith, giving him cues, etc. Enjoyed his solos.
Keith, after seeing earlier videos I was worried. However, he put In a good show! Happy was a car crash, but my sister who'd never been didn't notice, to the general masses stuff like that doesn't matter. He's clearly struggling with speed, dexterity, remembering parts, etc. But...he's old! A couple of times he was sat by Charlie's kit playing his guitar.... never seen that before... made me wonder if the weight of those Les Paul's is taking its toll.... He was clearly touched by the Ole Oles
Charlie... don't know how he has the energy. Solid!
Midnight Rambler was fun, really enjoyed Miss You (never thought I'd say that), ROCKS OFF......kicked arse.. really fun... Jagger's face when Keith cut him off on the intro if looks could kill
See them whilst you can!

"So Mr.D and Out of Control are gone now. WTF

Rocks Off (!!!)

Is this true did Keith really have a BB King moment??(sitting down)

Sofa review: 'Miss You' (about 25 minute mark)

okay maybe I was looking for a scintillating hint I fell for
but the wording was not unusual to me. Did notice MJ's in my coat ha
The lighting on this show is intoxicating.
Who doesn't love a ripping bass guitar let loose with rare capability?
Darryl should and does get this time.
I thought it nice Ronnie takes the spotlight and time to receive love
during Matt sax solo (so Karl does BS)
and Charlie, tippy tip tip that sexy cymbal.
