As someone who only started going to concerts in 1997, this blows my mind.Quote

Much better live than he 1981 tour. They were on fire in 1989.

Great tour even if the shows were a bit too polished and predictable. I was fortunate to see opening night in Philly and got to hear the abbreviated version of Shattered.
Great set list and good long show with reasonable ticket prices. It was about the music not the spectacle that the band seems more concerned with now.
Voodoo Lounge was better, better mixing with guitars higher in the mix, better album to tour behind and a more diverse set list.
Steel wheels got the ball rolling again at least.

London 7/7/90 was a great show.
The merchandise was very nice designs. Can they equal them on this current tour?

I saw them twice on that tour in Toronto. The first show outdoors at the CNE with The Stone Temple Pilots opening with an acoustic set, then in December at SkyDome with Living Colour opening.
Best setlist I've probably ever seen. "One Hit To The Body", "2000 LYFH", "Undercover of the Night", "Play With Fire", Little Red Rooster"...
The CNE show had 27 songs. Can you imagine that? NO most of you can't.

It was barely abbreviated - they had almost finished it when the power went out right after "All my friends they come around" OUT.
Too bad they felt that as some stupid omen because it sounded great.

I saw them two nights, opening, and closing at Los Angeles, October '89. They were creaky and old the first night, magnificent the last. I thought it was like a royal crowning, especially when they played Ruby Tuesday. 2000 Light Years From Home was mindblowing. When they played Midnight Rambler the last night they seemed to lock into this golden circle of guitars and bass and just grooved. I believe now that we were seeing the end of the spectacular Rolling Stones. 'Slipping Away' is the coda for the greatest band of all time. They should have quit after the '90 run of the tour. In a sense they did, since it's been almost all retro since. Steel Wheels was the end of their artistic period. The best songs they released after that were the bonus cuts from the original rhythm section.

That's about 100 times more energetic than the way they play it in recent years - these days Mick can barely sing it without running out of breath, the tempo is slowed down, and the guitars...erm....
