Really surprised with the great reviews.
I thought this was a pretty dull, lifeless gig.
Also very slow. Songs like Miss You and MR seemed incredibly slow.
It was my third of the tour; Hamburg was good, Amsterdam was great.
But this one? No, it seemed the autopilot was on. I hope not for the rest of the tour as I am going to all remaining gigs.
I can live with the usual mistakes. But I never thought after one hour: I wanna go home.
Could be my position though. Normally I’m much closer to the stage. Now I was watching the screens.

I am also surprised about the good reviews. When I read them I thought I was at another concert. Compared to Amsterdam this one was really lifeless and dull. The sound on general admission was awful and echoing.
My friend left after one hour. Arnhem will be my last concert on the tour and I hope they are worth the money.

In the second half of the show I heard a strange noise during the quiet parts between the songs and also after the show. Friends of mine did the same. It sounded like a big aircondition of the venue.

Yeah thanks for the scopes and all the great pics.
Hopefully better luck with scopes next time. The band looked and sounded great tonight.

so if I could do some streaming again, then I would try with Facebook - that worked better last night, right?

I was in the pit (Keith side) and it was a really, really great show. I was in Barcelona and Amsterdam as well, but this one was the best in my opinion. Bitch kicked some ass and Gimme Shelter was a very nice version (love Sasha more and more..). Mick looks like more in shape than in the other concerts i've been too this tour. I think the 'bad reviews' is about the seats you have in the those closed venues. In the pit the sound was good.
By the way: Did anyone mark the little emotions of Mick after singin street fightening man? I have never seen that before! He hold his hands to his face for a few seconds. I've got a picture of it, but after 14 years on this site I still don't know how to post it

Hi there, folks!
What a GREAT show and what a dissappointement as we couldn't get the Scope running for you!!!
Really, an awesome show!
The Scope: we realy tried it! And it worked perfectly, before the Stones came on. As the support act, Rival Sons, was playing, we tested the connection for a while, and as you can see here (check the "Test RS" stream), it worked!
So when the Stones came on, we started the feed. AND BAM! We got no connection! In the display, it said something like "Error with APP-Start" and there was NO connection anymore! We tried to get it running several times during the gig, but always with the same result: the App couldn't establish any connection!
So, very sadly, we couldn't share the fun of this great gig with you. I am really terribly sorry for raising hopes we couldn't fulfill. But there simply was no way to get it done.
The reason for this can only be EITHER
a) the connections at Esprit Arena were too small for handling all the connections which started whe the Stones began playing, OR
b) there is some intentionally blocking of specific ports which the Periscope APP uses, OR
c) the volume of data is intentionally narrowed down when the Stones start playing, OR
d) some folks checked out our announcement and blockt our IP somehow.
IMHO, I tend to look at b) and c) as the most likely answeres to all this mess! And guess what, AFTER the gig, we could go live again: see here (check out the "Test after RS" stream).
so if I could do some streaming again, then I would try with Facebook - that worked better last night, right?

THIS I do anyway. I was smiling from one ear to the other the whole show and was just HAPPY even when not moving too much. So if the stream had worked, I would have been very delighted to have been able to share the fun with you!
