Hi everyone.
I'm planning going to Phlly. I've seen them only twice (Miami 1997 and Puerto Rico 2006) and my other options are Miami or Jacksonville.
I'm looking for the best vibe and the best crowd.
Out of these three cities, which one would you recommend?

Thanks
Manuel

Not Jacksonville. Go to Miami if you have a few extra days to enjoy the beaches

Funny, I also immediately thought not Jacksonville too. I would say Philly for 3 reasons. One, you have seen them in Miami already, 2 first show of the tour is Miami and potentially a rougher performance and 3, Philly will be a better scene before and after venue based on its location in the city.

I am also partial to Philly for the food and good friends who live there.

If you want to deal with rude people go to Philly.

Opening night is a good vibe

Is there anywhere in the lower 48 where a classic rock gig has a decent vibe? The vibe and people are always the worst thing about these shows.

One of the best shows I've ever been to was in Jacksonville, though admittedly it wasn't the Stones . . .

I think it's impossible to predict any given crowd on any given night, tbh.

Manuel, I will hopefully celebrate my birthday in Miami on the 20th so I'd be delighted to see you at the show!!!

If you plan to do some gigs, try from the middle ones to the last ones.the band will be on fire towards the end and is rusty in the beginning.

Yep, and the horses they road in on. "You got a problem with that?"

Philly - not even close.

The Jacksonville shows I've attended have always been great. They have been going there since (at least) 1965. They must enjoy it.

I think Jacksonville will be the best vibe, show. Work out the kinks on the first show and then coming out firing on the second show. Jacksonville seems like the only city off the beaten path this time around. I like those type of shows...

Ok. So I should rule out Jacksonville. Yes I thought first night could be a rough one. But also an intriguing one.

Thanks for the input!

Ok. So, Jacksonville is "on board" again.

Thanks!

It does make sense.

Thanks!

As far as cool cities w a unique vibe- Miami gets my vote out of those three

Miami and Jax given it’s proximity to South America, otlando was by far the most active crowd I saw in the shows I did in 2015. Comparitively, it seemed like half the crowd was sleeping at Ohio State

"Mine is on April 17th, so we might celebrate together. Cheers!!"

Sound great mate!!!! Cheers!

Due to some circumstances, Jacksonville won!

Hope everyone has a blast whatever city you choose to go!!

Great vibe at concerts in Philadelphia. I’d easily choose that over the Southern venues. High energy easy coast rock and rollers in Philly.

Philly is a hellhole. Be careful if you go

Phila gets a lot of New Yorkers so it is a good crowd. Phila is a Rolling Stones city anyway.
