I can give you this report from a friend who went to the first show
Our seats were terrible, up in the second level, the last row, to the left of the stage. The speakers that were hanging from the ceiling blocked our view of the video screen, and we were too far up to see their faces, so it wasn't much to look at. On Wednesday night, I will have a better seat. Because of where we were sitting, the sound was terrible. The accustics weren't good at that spot. But the Stones' energy level was high and the set list was great. When they played Rain Fall Down, that was wonderful. Keith's Infamy was also terrific. Mick made a lot of lyric mistakes, and on the encore, Keith and the band started playing It's Only Rock and Roll, but Mick started singing Satisfaction. It was very strange. So the band switched from It's Only Rock and Roll to Satisfaction--which shows you how good a band they are. But it was a BIG mistake on Mick's part. After the band switched over and started playing to match up with where Mick was in singing Satisfaction, Keith and Ronnie walked over to each other and were talking a little. I'm sure they were saying, "What's wrong with Mick tonight--do you believe he was singing the wrong song!"
