Just got back from the U Arena.

Initial thoughts: The band - especially Keith - were on tonight. Keith was playing a solo on his knees at one point!

The band were in really high spirits and were having fun with each other - Keith holding Micks hand to share a joke on Midnight Rambler (about the echo in the room I think). Then there was Mick grabbing an extra drum stick and crashing the cymbals on Charlies Drums for a while during Street Fighting Man. These were two ofmy favourite moments.

Glad to see they mixed the set up - Hate to see you go, Dancing with Mr D and Angie were a nice change from Paris 1.

Really happy with tonight

at least Mick is wearing less tacky jacket for the opening song

He looked amazing. And his black shirt was too short and showed his very yummy
tummy LOL oh god

Just came back to hotel. Great show. Brave of our boys to play a blues number on one chord, I loved it. Guitars were realky loud. Fantastic audience. The adorations of Keith Richards were touching.

Got a few treats for you guys, sorry for some focusing issues but the sound on the old Panasonic TZ-7 is normally pretty good.

What a show! Yep a few bluffs but who cares! The band were on and it was great watching them from the pit.

Funny moment was the look of horror on Charlie's face when Mick suggested double time at the end of the Jam on YCAGWYW

amazing show for sure ! Jagger said 32 in Paris and I guess I saw 20 or something.
Better than oct 19.
Mick played on Charlie cymbals, the band was really happy to play and even if some ending songs were weird they were on fire.

Back at the hotel now... I am not sure what to think and feel about this Show, cause it very well could have been my last ever!
We had lucky dips and were not lucky, just normal fosse after ok seats in Zürich. Quite miserable organisation outside the venue, but inside it was ok. The sound was not too good in the middle of the room to put it nicely, but the crowd was energetic everytime people could take a rest from their Smartphones.
setlist wise I was dissapointed for not getting dead flowers as the Song winner and no New Song at all, Not this Tour and Not overall.
With this feeling of slight dissatisfaction I really hope to be able to go to England next year!!

Partial songs now only :
Midnight Rambler : [youtu.be] - when the pace pick up)
Sympathy For The Devil : [youtu.be] - beginning only but I needed to get Keith's guitar when he comes in LOUD AS HELL !

THANK YOU!

A word about the sound : we got regular Fosse with our Lucky Dips and at first stood at the front of the fosse, in the middle of the room, where I thought the sound was a muddled mess, vocals brittle, guitars going in and out, drums and bass undefined. We had to move back about midshow and spent the rest of the concert in the back, and, lo and behold : the second set of amps were delivering a powerful, clear, electrifying sound. It was like listening to a different concert. It's also more relaxed back there. So something some of you might consider for Wednesday.

Fosse pretty far to the right was rather good, as good as in the pit I'd say, although when you turned your head towards the center where you were initially there did seem to be some booming/echoing.

Fantastic setlist. Almost like Brixton -95.

You better recheck that 1995 Brixton setlist.

Back in the hotel.... with Lucky Dips we got No Filter Pit, which was great of course. But before we were in there, they challenged us a lot: what a bad organisation. But in the end one of the best shows ever; the Pit experience is unforgettable.

Great show! An amazing ending to the five-show tour. Now seen the Stones 14 times all-time and hungry for more.

JJF is the best opener they have, hands down. I thought Sympathy might be dropped but glad it wasn't.

Sadly, back home on Tuesday, wish I could have stayed for the Grande Finale.

Thank you!

I was there too, seating in front of the stage: the sound was not perfect but good. Even here the public was fantastic. I enjoyed the show a lot. Can't wait to go to the last one in a few days

Hahaha. Maybe slightly less, and with a black shirt and black lapels this time.
