That Paul McCartney comparison is just stupid. Look at a Macca concert and at a Stones concert. Mick dances from one corner of the stage to the other for two hours while Paul is just standing on one spot. Of course you can play longer if you just stand on one spot the whole time
Nothing against Macca but it's absolutely not comparable

My three (positive) takeaways:
Keith sounded fantastic, that Away is from an era I stopped that Stones' music and yet he has converted me with last night's version..that
The crowd obviously was over the moon about having this show. I watched listened to them a lot last night and post show, and all I heard (again) was "Holy guacamole that was awwwweeeeeessssoooommmeee." People were psyched..
Ok, this 3rd one isn't exactly positive but I'll try and spin it: That was most difficult post show try to get a ride home I've experienced so far. Finally back at hotel at 230am after a $50+ uber.. Don't think I'm coming back for any Jaguar games, BUT (and here's the positive spin) during my wait in a hotel lobby for a ride I ran into friends from Zip Code tour and we caught up over beer

Keith and Ronnie are playing better but they will play better during the next tour.

Sometimes I think that the Stones could be accused even for the color of their clothes. In this site, I mean...

"This band is in it's 57th year of taking the stage, for chrissakes!"
I have some hopes for 58th year, Waterrats. I mean, another European round would be great. Let's see.

Would people prefer a bunch of 2:05-songs to MR, just to have a higher number of songs in the setlist?

Rambler was cool
The guitar of Keith at the 1min mark is cool
Mick sitting down at 1:45 like he needs a rest is awesome as Keith and Ronnie looked over at him like “You’re sitting down?, you ok?!!!”
and I’m not sure how often Keith has seen Mick take a seat on Charlies drum riser but I know I’ve never seen Mick sit down in 60+ shows I’ve seen since 75 ...except at a piano... and considering his heart issue, I think he was playing a joke on Keith as he sat down and then got right up as the song was ready to kick into high gear... “Well you heard about the Boston!”
...and when he sprung up he looked right at Keith like “got you!” to see his reaction. Maybe I was over reading this but that was how I saw it from pretty close in the pit and here’s the video...

Hmmm...Mick sitting down...don't recall ever seeing that at any show I've been to going back to 1981.
I thought his time for a much deserved rest was during Keith's set, but sitting during the main set and especially Midnight Rambler.......hope everything's alright with him.
