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

[www.youtube.com]

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.

Real Live-Setlist so far:

1. Sympathy For The Devil
2. Tumbling Dice
3. Paint It Black
4. Just Your Fool
5. Ride'em On Down
6. Neighbours
7. Wild Horses
8. You Can't Always Get What You Want
9. It's Only Rock'n Roll
10. Honky Tonk Women
--- Band Introductions ---
11. Before They Make Me Run (Keith)
12. The Worst (Keith)
13. Miss You
14. Midnight Rambler
15. Start Me Up
16. Jumping Jack Flash

I just got home from work and seeing this for the first time. I see the cowbell at number 10, that's demoralizing. This is a bad setlist. They should just book a run at Vegas. What a major disappointment. How can they continue to con people with this.

Keith needs to let "Sympathy" go. He's fast approaching the state Chuck Berry was in at the end and he's relatively much younger. He doesn't even think about the solo so why bother? Sad.

Correction, MICK needs to let Sympathy go, remember Mick decides what songs are played.

Keith's playing on Sympathy was great - WTF are you talking about?? I am a guitarist by the way and I was impressed with his playing tonight.

Hi all. I was in the pit (Keith side) - got two great videos of neighbours and the worst will post when I can. Overall I thought it was decent - not outstanding but decent. First thoughts:

Surprised they kept sympathy opener - doesn’t have the same menace in the light (ditto for paint it Black which was earlier in the set).

I thought Keith played well - the first sympathy solo is as good as I’ve heard (and can expect) during this 2012 onwards period.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed that the set was 19 not 20 like no filter part one - and didn’t disappointed that the “extended first set of the tour” didn’t materialise.

My guess is they are going to spread the rarities throughout the tour this time rather than one gig getting 2-3 (eg Hamburg) they will all get one. Tonight was neighbours, maybe monkey man will be Tuesday.

Crowd was decent - not so lively as others. Quite a bit of space in the pit - not as in big gaps - but everyone just had a little more personal space even at the front as it wasn’t tightly packed.

As is always going to be case from now until they stop - gigs are increasingly about the interaction and atmosphere amongst fans and the band and less about the set list.

How long have you been playing? I've been playing 41 years, in no small part thanks to Keith. Love his solo albums. His solos in the original Beggar's and Ya Yas are classic. I want to cry when I hear these half-dozen notes played to death. To each his own.

I have been playing 35 years. And I have a band and we have released 4 albums and played about 1,000 gigs. Look, Keith's solos tonight weren't' Joe Satriani (thank god). His solo in Sympathy wasn't the album solo, but it sounded fine, no bum notes and there were some nice licks. Apart from the 1969 tour (when he was 25 years old) when has he ever played a blinding solo on Sympathy?? And in any event it's possible that the Sympathy solo on Ya YA's was overdubbed in the studio anyway. Look, I have been super critical of Keith(and Ronnie) in the past - I have seen some truly horrendous gigs where I have felt like they were playing like shit and just taking the piss - but I really thought that they played well tonight - it was the focus and tightness/interaction that impressed me. I accept that Keith ain't Eric Clapton, but he never was.
