Year its sooooo bad news.
Cannot believe posts like this.
Right after a great show.
There were 6(!!!!!!!) song changes a
Chicago II.
But setlist-whiners want to whine.
Its their greatest passion.

I understand why we here on IORR want to see some variation, as I do, and as I did in Chicago, especially Chicago 2, and especially Play With Fire. Having said that, I also understand those who feel lucky just to see the band playing at all, especially after Mick's health scare. And I suppose that n'eer the twain shall meet.

Keith looks cool with that sunglasses

Well no It's Only Rock N Roll is great to see. Wish they would retire that song forever.

I guess some unfortunate souls don't realize how blessed we are to still have them. If they're such a disappointment to you, why are you continuing to pay attention to them? Go away. Don't rain on our parade!!!

The same posters are posting, if you look at the middle of this section (pages 4,5,6 and 7). It`s a comraderie. -And should the whiners really go away? How should they else express themselves?

Keith does look much better with the sunglasses on.

is it really "whining?"

I mean, the setlists for Chicago One and BC ARE very similar....is this not just pointing out a fact?

as for "this is not good"....well, that's just a concern (or opinion) as far as I can see.....are we not allowed to express opinions or concerns without being labeled a "whiner?"

must we praise everything the Stones do and only talk about how lucky we are?

Yes, we are extremely lucky to have the Stones at all....but, if they aren't mixing it up very much, they can be called-out for that and it doesn't make one a "whiner" unless they were told beforehand: "here's the setlists, buy tickets if you want...don't if you don't."

(FYI - I am not saying they aren't mixing it up....it's too early to tell at this point, IMO)

We should praise their abilities and efforts (and be happy), but the fact is they are a public-entertainment-entity that we pay big-money to see....we have every right to question elements of their performance w/o being labeled a "whiner"....

We really need to stop jumping to labels and such "black-and-white" categorizations and camps.....let's just engage in a civil discussion....

"yes, the set list is similar, but we are only 3 shows in AND they did change 6 songs from Chicago One to Chicago Two...so, let's give it some time....they are just getting warmed-up....hopefully there will be tons of variety at future shows...but, for now I'm just happy that they are touring...we are very lucky to have them at all"

think of it this way...if you eat the same pizza twice in about 10 days, you'll probably think: "Well, next time I'd like some Chinese Food or at least some different toppings.....but, wow, it sure is nice to have FOOD TO EAT...which is a lot better than NO FOOD"

Micks remarks were difficult to understand at this show. What does he say when arriving on the B-stage? Something like "it's nice to be so intimately close to your nipples touching"?

Some random morning-after musings...

Good show! I see no problem withe band continuing on for at least a couple of more years. Mick still at the top of his game. Ron and Keith look like they have to concentrate real hard to get it right and struggled a couple of times but it was okay....they need to smile more. Charlie was effortless, as usual. Great crowd reaction to HTW, MY, SMU. Satisfaction was a terrific closer but GS just before seemed out of place. Midnight rambler is clearly the best thing they do...a little bit of everything. I enjoyed the show immensely, my 17th one. Great night. Great weather. Great atmosphere. Great crowd...I saw everything from a toddler with ear muffs to seniors in walkers...rock and roll across the generations!

'Bad boys of rock': Rolling Stones perform for thousands in Ontario

From the Raptors to Doug Ford: Canadiana references abound at Rolling Stones

David Friend · The Canadian Press · Jun 30, 2019


Fred Thornhill/Canadian Press

For a bunch of British chaps, the Rolling Stones sure know a lot about Canada, and Mick Jagger didn't hesitate to flaunt his wisdom at their Canada Day weekend concert in Ontario.

The frontman for the iconic rock band doled out handfuls of Canadiana on Saturday, pausing to reference everything from the Toronto Raptors' historic NBA championship win to the "buck a beer" policy of Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Standing before a crowd of roughly 70,000 concert-goers, it didn't take long before Jagger wished a simple "Happy Canada Day" to the receptive crowd, who didn't seem to mind it was technically two days early.

The concert at Burl's Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte, Ont., about 30 kilometres north of Barrie, was the only Canadian date on their North American tour. And for many people in attendance, it seemed a miracle that Jagger was even on stage, given his recent heart surgery.

None of that was referenced in the 75-year-old singer's tireless performance, which included swapping out one glittery jacket for another before eventually donning a hat and T-shirt emblazoned with the band's famous tongue logo.

Armed with his flamboyant swagger, Jagger zig-zagged across the massive stage — and strutted down the catwalk — for two hours, playing 20 of the band's greatest hits.

Band plays popular classics, fan favourites

Popular classics Paint It Black, Gimme Shelter, and Honky Tonk Woman, were balanced with a selection of fan favourites, including Before They Make Me Run, a song Keith Richards wrote in response to his 1977 arrest for heroin possession in Toronto.

And beneath four towering digital screens, Jagger played right into the audience's hand at nearly every turn.

"What about those Raptors?" he shouted, as the "We the North" logo flashed overhead. He poked a bit of fun at Toronto Mayor John Tory's famous black-and-gold Raptors jacket, which he's enthusiastically worn around town for weeks.

"He's still wearing his dirty blazer," the singer said to Tory, who was in the audience.

Jagger later introduced the band's drummer Charlie Watts as the Toronto Maple Leafs' mascot, seemingly for no particular reason.

He also took a jab at Ford's "buck a beer" election platform, telling the crowd at one point that "for the next 15 minutes it's a buck-a-beer — courtesy of Doug Ford."

The comment elicited some boos in parts of the crowd, and no apparent discounts at the beer tents.

But the Stones' fans didn't seem to mind, so busy caught in a moment that would be a little piece of history, and perhaps even a farewell.

Earlier this year, Jagger underwent emergency heart surgery, putting the single Canadian date on hold, and raising questions about whether the British rockers would ever tour again. When the singer got the all clear, the date was back on.

"The heath scare was kind of an indication this might actually be the last one," said Marc Fielding, who joined about 30 of his friends on a road trip from Toronto.

"They're such an iconic band, so you don't want to risk them maybe not coming back."

For others in attendance, seeing the Stones live came with an extra significance.

Jackie Morin's father, a longtime fan, died shortly after the Stones most recently played Toronto. So this night was an especially poignant moment.

"This is a big deal," she said. "Never will you ever see a concert like this — it's history."

Dino Bruno landed tickets when his sister-in-law surprised him. He last saw the Stones in the mid-1970s at Maple Leaf Gardens where he said the local news captured him playing Frisbee with police in the street.

"The Stones were the bad boys of rock," he said. "I wanted to be here because I want to die happy."

Jayne Sidey first caught the Stones at a Canadian National Institute for the Blind benefit concert over 40 years ago in Oshawa, Ont. It was part of a court-ordered performance for Richards 'after he was arrested for heroin possession.

She said she was forever changed by Jagger and his buddies and has gone to at least 20 Stones concerts since.

"I saw them three times in the U.K. last year, and we're booked for two shows on this tour," she said. "The 2013 show in Toronto was so good we all jumped in a car to Montreal and saw them there."

Homegrown acts perform before Stones play

Several homegrown acts performed before the Stones took the stage, including Saskatoon-formed One Bad Son, the Glorious Sons from Kingston, Ont., Toronto four-piece the Beaches, and longtime favourites Sloan.

Toronto cover band Dwayne Gretzky played a late-night show of other rock and pop classics, ranging from Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."

The day-long festival marked the third concert on the Rolling Stones tour, which kicked off with two dates in Chicago a week ago.

After the Stones finished their set, they offered a hint of the resilience that's kept them going for more than half a century.

"See you soon," the digital screens read, alongside the band's trademark tongue logo.

There are a bunch of us lunatic live-junkies who enjoy trawling Twitter and Facebook for live feeds and pictures, but it's not a closed shop - come and join in. By all means complain if what they play doesn't please you. We'll usually be too busy scope-hunting to moan about other people's posts, but "Hey, let's all bash Chuck Leavell" was a comment that really didn't qualify as constructive criticism.

I read a few "horror" stories regarding logistics, lack of water, long lines, where to pick up Lucky Dips, etc. on facebook from some people who were there, but all seemed to enjoy the show itself.
Would have been fun to have been there, but from what I read clearly they need to work out some kinks to make it run smoother.
