Has anyone criticized a show they were actually at yet ?
It seems to be divided between the You Tube crowd complaining and the ones who actually went to the show almost running out of adjectives to say how great it was.
I can always tell when the Stones are killing it,other bands fans come here and start nitpicking.
Huge eye roll for the McCartney crowd,you have got to be kidding right? The chubby little fella would fall over and die 5 songs into the set if he tried doing what Mick does.

Now hold on, it was you who said that. Watching them on youtube is something I only resort to because I can't follow them around

What an absolute blast. Great vibe in the city all day, crowd was so into it from the opening band right to the end of satisfaction. Great time on the floor raving dance party, smiles all around, young and old. I was so psyched to get monkey man. I could of sworn the screen on pit 2 said off my cloud? After last night I really want catch another show this tour.

Stone4ever is right in a way, but for me, the 90s didn’t compare to the 70s either, and 78 didn’t compare to 75, or 81 didn’t compare to...
All we can do is be thankful they’re still alive, relatively healthy and still a performing band that’s not in a place where Chuck was when I’d see him as he aged, as that would not be good.
Part of the beauty is the build up to the event, and like them, I also have changed, but it’s still great fun.
I do see the potential of future tours in how they look and sound on the B stage- they have a wonderful catalogue of material that is, or can be, played intimately or acoustically, and maybe in the round becomes that next tour.
Instead of relying on practicing languages or talking about whether the mayor or local football team did something, how about some stories about where and why we wrote this one?

Crowd was absolutely excellent. I find it hard to believe that there’s been a better show this tour..

...that period between 83' and 88' a time that surely would have been awesome with the amount of Coke being consumed back then , Stones musical energy is very well meshed with the consumption of Coke etc, maybe that would have been Keith's time to shine...

Keith carried the show and was in great form. I was in Pit 2 and saw firsthand how tight the band was. Everything is hitting on all cylinders. The mix was perfect and Keith’s parts were turned up loud. He honestly led the band from start to finish with little to no mess ups. IORR was actually really good and didn’t slow this momentum of the show as I expected it would. Monkey Man was played brilliantly with Ronnie on slide and a beautiful screen-show on the stage. The second half the the show was the best for me as the really got the volume up and guitars very high in the mix (perfect sound) l. It was very impressive how they played all the songs in the second half. I like how they placed Gimme Shelter early in the second set.. It fits better there as Brown Sugar is s perfect start to the encore. Crowd was absolutely excellent. I find it hard to believe that there’s been a better show this tour..

RE: Wild Horses...They played it during sound check....bet that hits the acoustic stage soon. It sounded AMAZING! All Down the Line was played as well and that sounded great, too. ALl the other sound check songs were played at the show.

I was there. Keith looked genuinely worried for a second. I was too. I hadn’t seen Mick doing that ever.
