If you review 20 shows and everyone of them is exclusively positive, the readers will loose interest, since the standpoint is already presumed. This doesn't mean the review was dishonest, the reviewer might really think every Stones show is fantastic, and what's left for those with a more critical standpoint is to read what other people have to say.
So what you are saying is I should stop writing reports from shows from now on, because nobody is interested in reading my reports?

Really? You call out BV?
Unless there is a personal vendetta or you are a troll (honestly, I have no idea WTF who is who multiple personalities/ handles, so, you could be)
Go to a show and write your own personal truth and submit for publication.
Last I heard, he prints/ posts them all.
Dude, site is free/ no advertising. The best way to get latest ticket, roll outs, blah blah.
Sooooo, free is what you get.
ETA: which is pretty @#$%& great. IORR RULES. Stones Rule.
Party in Düsseldorf WOO HOOOOOOO
You are slightly missing the point.
1. Yes, I should have used maybe "Objective"
2. When I see reviews from local papers that say a "Stones cover band" is better one wonders -- admittedly from afar -- what to believe. Were they really THAT great if local papers are trashing them. Again, from AFAR, one is relying on reports and when 2-3 reports are that they barely showed up and others give them A+ that is a head scratcher, no?
Just sayin'.
Hi Potus43, I read that "Stones cover band" review in that Dutch newspaper. It was one of many very negative quotes. It made me think, so I researched the Internet and found a very similar review in that same newspaper about a previous visit of the Rolling Stones to the Netherlands. It felt like a copy! These sad people are in a position to approach their readers, assuming that many don't like the Stones anyway, so feed them with all that negativity. Only negative talks about an artist to me means "hate that artist" for whatever reason. Being in a position to use media, one could expect some sense of responsibily, but we all know that media or often misused for (anti)propaganda for whatever suits the user. How frustrating it must be for those "Stones haters" to see the Stones fill stadiums around the world with ease still after 55 years!

So if someone's review doesn't coincide with another's opinion, it's considered dishonest?

Jan Vollaard (the journalist you are referring to) is a well respected Dutch music journalist/reviewer, writing for the NRC.nl, affiliated to NRC Handelsblad, a Dutch quality newspaper. His reviews on the Rolling Stones concerts in Holland where a musical opinion on the Rolling Stones musical efforts in Holland 2017 and 2007. You can argue about his opinions, but people that read and work for the NRC paper are basically well educated, and well informed about what's going on in the world, from a political, cultural and/ or musical point of view.

Correct, Georgie...
Is that correct?
Is it a sell out tour?

A contradiction.
You can write a professional journalistic review, but it will remain subjective just the same.

In 1990, thousands of tickets were distributed for free trying to fill the stadium, after Vasco Rossi - Italy's strongest ticket seller - refused to open for the Rolling Stones and do the hard work for them.
Still, the stadium was half empty and one could walk to the front rows 30 minutes before 'Continental Drift' intro.
