I find Mick J to be very nervous at this show. He is far more confident and relaxed now.

Hadn't noticed that - but you might be right.
This show had 5 guest spots on 4 songs: The Black Keys, Garry Clarke Jr., John Mayer, Bruce, Mick Taylor... all (apart from Mick T.) with (shared) vocals included. That usualy puts a bit more strain on the lead singer then on the rest of the band... and with the Commander, always trying to run the tightest of ships here (contrary to some in the string section... ), I can believe there 'd be some extra focus (& strain) with/ on him.

Ofcourse but also not being a bit rusty after not performing for 5 years.

He just seems so insecure in the talking between song. Reading almost everything from the teleprompt very concentrated not to make any mistakes. He is so much looser these days.

I'm sure doing short tours every year keeps him loose and on point.

Well, after 6 years playing the same songs over and over again they should be well rehearsed enough to be a bit more relaxed.

I loved this PPV - Especially the approving smile Charlie gives Keith after the intro to Gimme Shelter. The battle of guitars with Keith, Gary Clark, Jr. Ronnie and John Mayer was amazing. Bruce having the time of his life with Tumbling Dice. Mick's funny mention about New Jersey - "the Garden State".I live across the river from Jersey and find this motto incredibly stupid.

How time flies... SIX YEARS AGO!

This was fantastic.
BIG THANK YOU TO MR. BLACKDOG.
