No more "Dancing With Mr. D"?

They can't play every song every night. It is eithet shine a light or mr d or play with fire etc. If you need to see every song they ever play then it is just like wathing the tv you need to watch every programme i.e. every show.

Great show. so much better than Lucca IMHO. But now I had premium standing as well
But, they shoud've listened to me and book DEWOLFF as the opening act. De Staat s#cked

+1 DEWOLFF would be the perfect opener for the Stones

Mick sounded wonderful on Shine a Light. It's truly remarkable how strong and well-preserved his voice is (just like the rest of him). There are so many big-name singers in their 50s and 60s whose voices are completely shot simply due to aging, and they just flat-out embarrass themselves nightly (like Paul Stanley of KISS).

Agree, but from what I have heard the last 2 years, Mick is saving his voice by not pushing it to the limit. In some songs he is 'speaking' the lyrics instead of singing. An exception is the Fonda gig (Sticky fingers Live). Watch it and you'll see what I mean. There he actually is singing all the lyrics, which is great, but probably also an assault to his throat. I'm not complaining, but this is just the way to preserve his voice for a 8 weeks tour. And the way he does it, is fine.

The true exception with Steven Tyler... with a much more vocally demanding songs.

3/5 too

And this one so very negative

Well, technically speaking, they have a point. I see what they mean. When you come to the stadium to hear technically superb instrumentalists, see and hear guitar virtuoso, or experience artistically new things on stage, you should not visit a Stones concert. But that's not why we visit the stadiums right? Sure, Keith messes up intro's sometimes, but what the hell. The band still sounds tight and great and gives us what we want. Stones concerts are not science, you just have to experience it. When you ask the visitors of the concert, I can't imagine people are disssapointed. The Stones are a monument and they still deliver. Go see 'm while you can!!!

I know, Keith was all liquid limbed and moving and swaying like visual art in motion. Wow.

Rocking Ronnie too, Mick belting it out , Charlie speeding the whole thing up, Yerrr harrrr

The show is already available on dimeadozen!

Great show, yes. But the worst sound I can remember watching the Stones over the years (1st row premium standing). It was my fist time in the "echo dome" - and I think the last.

That's what i suspected yesterday. On the tiers seats (vak Noord) excellent sound. Really. No echo no delay. Perfect!

Sorry to hear that.
I guess it is hard to find a place thst fits 60.000,
has a roof and great sound everywhere.
During the support act I feared the most, but the Stones were
crisp and clear from my place near the middle circle
of the football field.

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

Just got back home after 24 hours or more Amsterdam.

Had a fantastic time, with only the rain kinda spoiling our planned afternoon walk around Amsterdam, but ended up in the Hilton Skyline lounge and had a few good hours in there.

We picked a nice hotel ( Mövenpick ) and everything was very suitable.

Really enjoyed the concert with stand out songs for me were SAL,YCAGWYW and MR.
Has much as I love SFM and Brown Sugar I did think they did go on a bit too long.
My biggest complaint was trying to get to the toilets from the premium standing, you had to get pass the normal standing and was surprised there was no aggro, there should have been a designated walkway for this imho.

My nephew said Amsterdam was better than Hamburg in his opinion.

Once again had a great weekend, just going to open a bottle of Krug know to finish my 60th birthday celebrations and put sticky fingers DVD on.

Please come to the UK next year or even Europe again.

Hope to hear a report from Hendrik, or didn't you make it to the concert?

3 out of 5 seems fair...

I would agree musically speaking (and in the context of their entire history), but probably seems a bit unfair to those who were there and thoroughly enjoyed themselves - the personal joy and excitement of being in the moment can't be judged by a critic. After all Keith's Crosseyed Heart received a few 3 out of 5 reviews, yet I would give it a 4.5 - 5! The personal joy I've had from listening to it can't be swayed or altered by someone else's opinion.

Am I the only one who saw Keith stumble and fall after which he sat on the ground for a while? It was somewhere third or fourth song.

What?????????

You might be the only one who saw this as I've read no other mention of it, and I saw nothing in the videos I've seen.
Anyone else know anything about this?

Yeah, Keith somehow stumbled on Charlie's drumriser during YCAGWYW

True, it's very seldom they give a 5/5 performance of even one song these, with the benchmark of their past. Maybe ''I Got The Blues'' from Fonda, ''No Expectations'' from San Jose 2013 and a few others were 5/5 performances. But truth needs to be told most Stones shows these days are 3/5 shows with the rare exception of a proper 4/5 show every once in a while.

12/20...

Perfect, just a perfect night! I felt that everyone was up to par. Keith did not stop smiling and he played just the way he is supposed to, Mick, well the perfect entertainer, Ronnie was always jumping and being very colorful, and Charlie is Charlie, never misses a beat.

I haven't seen the Stones for some years now and last night was a solid performance. Before I went to see them I have been following the forum and reading some ridiculous comments about Keith, he missed this, he missed that, Mick forgot to do this and that...if we start nitpicking then no live bands are good, then what's the purpose of a live show?

Some highlights for me. Sympathy For The Devil, Ride 'Em On Down, You Got Me Rocking, Shine A Light, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Paint It Black, Midnight Rambler, Street Fighting Man.

Happy was good but I wouldn't mind to hear instead of Slipping Away, the Worse. Start Me Up, a bit loud and sound was coming at the back a bit distorted but not in all tunes. Crowd just amazing, the whole stadium was there till the end.

I can go on and on but its was an honor seeing those legends spilling their guts off, delivering outstanding live experience.

Thank you boys in the band, thank you Amsterdam, you rocked!

That's where I was as well. The sound was better than I feared.

The show clearly was a 4/5, imo. They even manage to bring new life to the warhorses. Heck, even YGMR rocked!

It might have been, I'm only judging from the recording. Shine A Light and Brown Sugar was great and YGMR and Gimme Shelter was pretty decent too out of the songs I listened to.

I've just seen Shine A light on youtube. God, it's lights years (2000) away from Stripped version. Woody didn't play solo too good, Keith - he was just standing with guitar.

Links to Ride'Em On Down and Just Your Fool complete live videos from last nights great show in Amsterdam. Hope you enjoy!

Not true at all. Ronnie's solo on Stripped is a strangled mess. His solo yesterday was excellent and very tasteful. I don't hear much Keith on the studio version either.

I've never seen Ronnie this good, he not only struts, runs and swings his guitar while making a solo, but he actually doesn't miss a note.

He has definitely left his best to last, just amazing.
