On another note, rumours of them heading to Australia next continue.....
"These dates are unlikely to be the only shows for The Rolling Stones for 2018. Australian dates are expected to be announced soon to coincide with the opening of the Stones ‘Exhibitionism’ in Sydney".

Keith. The Worst
Oh man this just made me so high, he just is the song, he expresses the meaning in every word, the emotion, and that acoustic, just the highlight for me, a masterclass.

I hate gauging a show by you tube but those videos show a band playing really well. And guys,can we please stop attacking the crowd for being “lame” and “unenthusiastic “ they have no obligation whatsoever.
They paid their money and can sit quietly and listen,scream and yell or whatever they want,they’re not the ones performing.

I doubled up with a mate. I got 310 lower level (as it seems a LOT of people did) and he got pit Keith's side. So naturally we went for the latter.

I cannot justify $600 for the same songs over and over and over.
Maybe one more time...but not three like I was planning.
Not all tickets are $600. In fact, you can see three shows for far less than that.

Well....I am too old to not go and get the seat / area I want. I refuse to go to any show that I do not have the seats I choose.
Two hour show 24 songs...ditch the tired songs and go back to being the Rolling Stones....not a greatest hits 60 band
And...fact is a concert is not nearly as good when you have a seat that is far away.
For me its probably around $600 a ticket plus my chicks ticket.
So not paying $1200 to walk away saying wow...Keith played The Worst and Neighbors was great....and well....yes the rest of the songs were just like remembered that last 15 times I saw them.
Enough is enough....make the change F the easy button.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, and at the risk of being harangued, if they dropped YCAGWYW, Midnight Rambler and Miss You that would "free up" well over 20 mins which could be filled with 6 or 7 shorter songs (maybe from a pool of a dozen - rotated each gig) and perhaps make the setlists a bit more enticing for those who want a more varied selection each night.
Just sayin'

Finally taking a breather and catching up on this thread. It was so great to see some of the Usual Suspects, and other rogues and scoundrels before, during and after! The shows are so much better with you lot around. From where I was (GC, Keith’s side) it was a really strong opening show. There was a definite shift in the crowd engagement- for the better - when Just Your Fool started. Mick is so good with the harmonica, and they are such a good blues band, I think the crowd would have loved more of that. Keith’s set was so great, really good song choice. The stadium looked alarmingly empty until shortly after they took the stage, but did fill up to a respectable level. For some reason I wasn’t allowed to bring the bottle of water I bought inside the park onto the field, so I will admit to some rather dark thoughts as I picked my way out over thousands of empty beer bottles. And to the charming woman who pressed up tight against my back most of the gig, danced like a windmill even though there was no room to move, and pounded me into oblivion with her elbows, there is a special place in hell for you, and it’s NOT the place Keith has reserved for himself. I hope you stepped in something unpleasant on the way home. So there.

I thought I'd be feeling bad about not flying to Ireland for this show but based on the set list and the comments here PLUS the shortened show, I feel pretty relieved that I didn't go through all the stress to attend. I just don't get WHY they rehearse all of these songs, some considered " deep cuts" only to play the same ole songs with 2 blues tunes thrown in. It also is troubling to see that they only sold roughly 70% of the tickets...but at those prices for 19 songs...as someone said, this does not help sell out the rest of the tour.
I think I'll wait and see if they decide to visit the USA in the fall.

Another show , another $10,000,000. You gotta love it.
Ronnie and Mick's dye jobs are also absolutely first rate. I wish I knew their stylist.
Anyway, what's the current consensus for best bathroom break song. Personally I vote for "Ride Em On Down".
Set List:
"Sympathy for the Devil"
"Tumbling Dice"
"Paint It Black"
"Just Your Fool"
"Ride 'Em on Down"
"Neighbours"
"Wild Horses"
"You Can't Always Get What You Want"
"It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)"
"Honky Tonk Women"
"Before They Make Me Run"
"The Worst"
"Miss You"
"Midnight Rambler"
"Start Me Up"
"Jumpin' Jack Flash"
"Brown Sugar"
Encore
"Gimme Shelter"
"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction"

Well, reading the setlist and listening to YT videos is one thing, being there is completely different. Yes, it is the same songs, and yes it is "just" 2 hours an 19 songs (Dylan is 15/16 songs or so and 2 hours WITH a break).
Sorry, my mistake. Yes, he played (great performance) 21 songs in Oslo last year, in less than 2 hoursQuote

slight digression, but Dylan is currently 20 songs with no break.
