OMG I just watched a few videos from that show, I will attend some shows soon and I was just SOO surprised about Micks performance, 2018 saw him struggling with his voice during the last half of the set at a regular basis so I was really worried!
But just look at this 3-song featuring video and all your worries are blown away!!

How in the world was he able to improve like that?? I mean this is getting crazy, what an amazing performance!! If he keeps that pace (which he actually did during all of the first 4 shows!!!) this will be one of the greatest tours they ever did!

Wow thanks, this is top quality recording, plus GS and Satisfaction that followed, amazing stuff, almost unreal for men in mid to late 70's
I think the reason Mick is singing better is because he's performing slower, Mick is putting it all into the singing rather than move around quickly like he was before.

This is a good point I didn't consider.

Look at this video from 2018 [www.youtube.com] and compare it to the newest one from Washington [www.youtube.com]Quote

Unlike some others on this board and elsewhere, i think Mick has not been as physically active on stage (moving around, dancing etc) this year as last year and other recent years but yes, his singing remains great.

Mick is A LOT more physically active on stage than last year. Look how he dances around this year and how his movements were dragging last year. He even seems a few years younger this year

My take is that his renewed energy could very well be connected to having taken care of his heart issue. I can't imagine that it wasn't affecting him in subtle ways for the past few years. It just wouldn't have been as apparent in someone of his fitness level.
Last night, he looked and sounded incredible. They all did.

Did Mick mention Brian ?
Could be way off the mark here, but do you think mercy mercy is a kind of tribute to Brian in the way it was last played at Hyde Park in 1969?
Just a thought.
Possibly, even probably.
I have conflicted feelings about this. Not that it matters to anyone, but myself.
Brian died 50 years ago! Are they that nasty and pathetic that they can't even say his name?
A friend said it better than me.
"Do you think this is normal? No other group acts like this ... It's so shameful and nasty ... I have no words ...."
I see it like this, Mick is the leader of the band, the spokesman, he wants it to go down that way in the history books, the ego wants that legacy, but the Stones were Brian's band weren't they, i think Mick would rather that be forgotten.

Did Mick mention Brian ?
Hope this isn't tangential, but just saw Peter Frampton on his Finale Tour and he dedicated "Lines On My Face" to John Siomos and Bob Mayo, 2 band members who passed away 15 years ago. He included video montage of John and Bob during the song.
It was a classy and touching tribute to 2 band members without any worries that someone in the audience might be "confused" about who Peter was talking about. If anyone in the audience was too young to know who John and Bob were, they immediately understood that they were 2 band members who remain important to Peter and to his success, and that was all that was necessary.
For Jagger and Richards to have no worries that someone in the audience might not know who Don Covay was, yet apparently be concerned that someone might not know who Brian was (so let's not mention him to avoid "confusion") seems odd.
For whatever reason, the fact that they still seem threatened or at least uncomfortable with merely mentioning the name of someone who's been dead for 50 years is somewhat sad to say the least.

I think Mick's introduction of Mercy Mercy as a song they last did at Hyde Park in 1969 was a touching tribute to Brian Jones. They haven't done such tributes to Ian Stewart, Nicky Hopkins, Bobby Keys, any other key members who died, as far as I know.
Mick and Keith weren't being disrespectful to Americans when they mentioned the tanks. They heard that the display violates the Hatch Act because Trump is using taxpayers money for his re-election campaign. Stones have a right to be disrespectful, he's still using Stones songs for his campaign,against their wishes.

Very nice, thank you. Mel. Different sorts of description of band members and the whole,
from what seems like a true fan.

Holy Schnikes, for the love of God they played Mercy, Mercy?!! Bless them all big and small. That one really needs to stay in the set list. Chicago would have jumped and shouted for that number. Rock on gentlemen.

Did they hear that, really ? Because if they did they should talk to more people who paid attention in school. The Prez and the VP are exempt from the Hatch act.
Fckng idiot...

Smokin'!
It's strange to think anyone would bother to dedicate anything to anyone as a tribute if they can't even mention the recipient's name.Quote

Can anyone tell me why Mercy Mercy is considered a tribute to Brian? It's not a song written by Brian, but it's a cover of Don Covay! If they wanted to pay tribute to Brian they would have done it with Paint it Black, which they played, or with other pieces of the time, not with a cover.
