The intro they play before the band go on stage on this US tour 2019 sounds like an up tempo mixed version of the French Hymne National France - La marseillaise... Or is my memory mixed up her?

BV-There is definitely a bit of the US National Anthem in there as the screen paints a No Filtet color version of the US flag with rhe Stones tongue incorporated. Stay safe in NOLA my friend.

And a different song in the open for Canada.

It's a kind of frightening military beat. I liked the one better they used last year. It was more intriguing and less over the top and lasted only 30 seconds

There will never be a better intro than the instrumental part of "Continental Swift". The mother of all intros - taylor-made.

I find the No Security Intro (Might as well get juiced loop) the best. I was 10 years old and actually believed that was happening live [www.youtube.com]

Loved this when I first heard it at the opener.
National Anthem segueing right into SFM... was fantastic!

While not exactly an outright political statement by the band, it added a little extra something to the opening song imo.

First time I saw the Stones, at the age of 16, was at Shea Stadium on the Steel Wheels tour. The moment in time when Continental Drift ended, the pyrotechnics went off, and Keith ripped into SMU is forever imprinted in my head. This stands out as one of the best concert openings I've ever seen... I wore out my VHS copy of the Atlantic City Pay-Per-View afterwards, replaying that over and over again.

Voodoo was pretty damn cool too with the Not Fade Away beat.

I did like the Star Spangled Banner tease in the current intro... Totally not expecting it, and I would agree that it set the stage for Street Fighting Man (at least at Chicago 1, the only show I've seen this tour so far).

Not thrilled with the intro for this tour at all! Loved " Fanfare For The Common Man" by Copeland for the 1975 Tour intro and Continental Drift but this one is NOT GOOD, IMO.
