Tonight, the set list made me SO happy! Let it Bleed is my favorite album, and so much of it got played tonight. I was in heaven, especially since my lucky dips got me into PIT2! Very crowded, very humid, but enjoyed every minute! Thank you, Rolling Stones, I love you guys so much!!!

Wow, six numbers from LET IT BLEED plus "Honky Tonk Women" from the same year. If we leave Fonda STICKY FINGERS show and the promotion of SOME GIRLS in 1978 aside, is that some kind of record (so many numbers from one individual album)? Not even when they played those album-themed gigs, they played so many numbers from it. Or except SOME GIRLS not even any new album to be promoted has had so many numbers played at individual gig (STICKY FINGERS 1971? EXILE 1972?)? So, instead of promoting HOT ROCKS they have turned to promote LET IT BLEED?
Altogether, if we count their habit of picking up songs to perform, LET IT BLEED seems to be their 'favourite' album. Normally three war horses (plus "Honk") and now some extra numbers. If we would include the live-in-studio version of "Love In Vain" from 1995 and "Country Honk" from OLE OLE OLE, we could build up a live version of the whole LET IT BLEED album from 'modern era' shows.

LIV was played in 2013 and 2007, too. At least the latter version (Isle of Wight) is available, methinks.

And 1973 wasn't exactly the hey-day of STICKY FINGERS...
But it is for us nerds to check (and care about) things like that...

It was a bitter-sweet night for me. I went to the show with my Sister, her husband and daughter and my two teenage kids. We arrived early at Metlife at around 5:30. We were invited to the "Shodoobie" tail gate party in the E-21 section of the parking lot.
Within minutes I talking with old friends that I have not seen in as many as 20+ years. We just picked up right where we left off. Taking pictures, exchanging numbers, introducing our kids to each other.
We got to our seats about 8:15 and Lucas Nelson was playing. I'm not familiar with his music. I did not know he was Willie Nelsons son. Overall I thought he was a good warm up act.
Finally the lights above the stage were lit yellow with the "No filter" lounge. A few minutes after that came "The Rolling Stones" announcement and they went into JJ Flash.
From there the highlights for me were....
Harlem Shuffle....I had not heard it live since 81.
You Got the Silver.....My first time hearing it live.
Miss You.....During Darrels lengthy bass solo my daughter said to me "How long is this solo going to be?" and almost on cue Mick said to Darrel "Will you shut up already"....We had a good laugh at that.
Paint it Black....I've always considered it on the highest tier. A true masterpiece.

Thanks bye bye johnny for posting the fantastic pics and the Guardian review:
"like old lions who can’t run down the antelope any more, they can still corner them against the rocks".
Nice.
"...Jagger, setting aside a recent heart-valve operation and his latest foray into fatherhood, he may finally be putting aside his role as the satyr of the late 20th century.
His lasciviousness and grinding are less overt: he’s no longer running around out of breath, unable to enunciate. And he is connecting with the music as he’s rarely done,
singing like he cares about the words. Jagger struts but never scampers..."
The new and improved Mick.
GO MICK!!!

Sorry but I NEVER saw Mick out of breath. He does sound wonderful though.
