i always like ronnie's deconstructed solos on SMU, and this one is
no exception. bet it sounds cool to not just me in proper quality
I think Ronnie's gone from the sublime to the ridiculous on this solo.

SMU. Mick forgets the words and i don't have words to describe Ronnie's solo.

"Lack of energy" and "lack of emotion" on last Barcelona gig? I could disagree more...

The show length might have something to do with traffic and logistic. As far as I know there are no trains running from Croke Park and many nearby streets have been closed off. 80,000 people are on their way home and most of them are probably going to work tomorrow morning.

Not sure how this short 19 song show will help sell tickets at other poor selling venues - it might have a reverse effect w/some wishing for a refund.

The sound is too muddled in that vid to judge.
Tempo seemed OK.
So this tour Ronnie and Mick are the weak links, but Keith is OK?
Haven't heard any complaints about Keith in this thread, which is great.
Last tour he had me worried.

It's good enough to hear Woody DESTROY the solo!!!!

Stop complaining about the set list. The Stones have not been in Ireland since 2007. It's 11 years since the warhorses were last performed in this country. And I doubt that too many from Ireland have travelled to see The Stones abroad since then as well. The band is there to entertain those inside Croke Park, not people pressing F5 online in a vain hope to see the name of a an obscure song appear on their screen. I think we can expect a few changes in England (and London in particular).
Having said that, I was a bit surprised that they didn't have more "rarities" since this was an opening show and they have rehearsed many gems + that Opie publicly stated that this would be the longest show on the entire tour.

have noticed on recent tours the setlists tend to shrink as the tour goes on. starting at 19 not a good sign.

Hairball: That "vast empty floor space" is Golden Circle. And it has often been like this on many shows since 2014, that the GA area is crammed with people, whilst golden circle often has much available space.
But I think the angle is fooling you a bit on this one. If you look at this video, there isn't much empty floor space left at all:

They must get really bored playing the same stuff all the time.Maybe they just can't be bothered to rehearse anything new.Auto pilot is easy.Sadly it is very boring for serious fans.And looking at the empty spaces in the stadium,it appears the hordes of fans have stayed away.Maybe it was the predictability of the set or just the ridiculous prices.Sad.
