Hairball
The shortest review I've ever written:

- FANTASTIC SHOW!
- Lucky Dips = PIT 2!!
- God Bless the Rolling Stones!!!
- Thank you, and good night!!!!



Will have more detailed thoughts in the coming days.

ahahahah glad you had a blast Hairball! looking forward your unabridged review

Unlike lengthier reviews I've written in the past, I might just be writing a few quick random thoughts in small trickles like this.

Midnight Rambler - Un-f*cking-believable!!!!!!



Will probably write up a full length review/story at the end of the tour combining the four shows I will have attended - stay tuned....
Heading south back down the highway for a couple nights at home, and then onward to Pasadena and finally Glendale after that....keep on rolling....

PS - thanks as always bye bye johnny for posting the pics and reviews.

Mick lost his voice half-way thru Satisfaction. Bernard, Sasha had to cover for him, quite loudly, while Mick mimed. He did not say good night/thank you, either.

I thought his mic went out. I noticed it as well he was definitely looking for some help thru the last bit.

And this is the first time I remember him not saying thank you.

Started weeping tonight during Shelter. Such a miracle to see the Stones in 2019. Irreplaceable.

Yeah cyclist I can relate...had a few of those moments myself. Not quite weeping, but a bit choked with up with complete joy, and there might have been a tear forming in my eye at one point!

I kinda miss Hairball being signed in considering he is at the show.

Haha...well thanks shattered, I kind of missed you too. lol

Took Amtrak for the Seattle show.

He did say thank and/or acknowledge the audience at the end. I think it was "Thank you San Francisco, thank you Bay Area!"

WOW! What a fantastic show. The best of the three I saw (Chicago2 Denver and Santa Clara). The weather was perfect. Not ungodly humid like Chicago. I nearly fell over when they played Out Of Control. And Let It Bleed. OMG! Glad to hear everyone had a great time.

Love and Peace.

Funny thing with the internet vote songs is that they build up an expectancy that is rarely met on stage. Jagger kind of rushes through them. Almost apologetically. Which is a pity I think.
Sad Sad Sad may be the the exemption. It sounds pretty good on this tour.

yes it is often as you say Stoneage, not in this case though where RO clocks at 5 min and some. also I find it pretty tight, but this is my opinion.

I was thinking more of conviction and dedication than time, Maumau. I respect your opinion though. Of course.

IORR editorial reports and pictures here:

The Rolling Stones
Levi’s Stadium
Santa Clara CA USA
Sunday August 18, 2019

More reports have arrived, and will be published later today.

Thanks bv for the pics and reviews...I'll check out the page show soon enough, and I'll try to throw together something to submit, but it would pretty much be a 100% gushing review.
Not joking - I'm in post-show bliss and everything is right in the world - the Rolling Stones blew me away last night. From the moment I arrived in Santa Clara to the moment I arrived home a couple of hours ago everything was RIGHT! From the friends I saw, to the new people I met, to the amazing and massive falafel platter I had at a local restaurant, to the freebie t-shirts I received, to the Luck Pit 2 Dips, and to the entire show itself (even Start Me Up was great!), it was all fantastic! Looks like I have the beginning to a good story/review right here and will do my best to make something bigger and better happen for the show page. Stay tuned...

PS - the opening band sucked, and their final song dragged on seemingly forever - I suppose that's part of the punishment of being stuck in position in the Pit with no way to escape!

Scotty dammit my friend it's been a while, and I didn't know you were gonna be there - you should have sent me a text or email! And you were also at Chicago #2 without telling me?!!! For crying out loud, WTF!!!
Rest assured, I'll be looking for you in Pasadena whether you want to see me or not (lol ), and if I don't find you there I'll be on the lookout in Glendale! You can run, but you can't hide....

He saved his voice through the show, already on HTW. Bernard and Sasha did a lot of filling in the gaps, through the show, especially on the last 3-4 songs.

well quantity sometimes has something to do with quality but I understand whar you mean. nowadays unfortunately this happens sometimes with the less played songs where mick rely more on teleprompter and the band is less loose and "into" compared to the "warhorses". rocks off here is played as it could easily become a must in the setlist. like expecially keith's berry licks in the coda.

It's been many years since I heard a version as good as this one

Good to see Mick singing it properly again!

A few comments about Mick's voice struggling towards the end of the show.

Hope it holds up OK for the remainder of the tour.

No too worried , he knows his voice and how to manage it.

[That's why it annoys me when folks criticise Mick for not bellowing his vocals with the same power he had 35 years ago.

If he'd kept that up... he wouldn't have a bloody voice at all by now ! ]

bye bye johnny
Richards took over on lead vocals for “You Got the Silver” and “Before They Make me Run.” The main upside to that segment was it gave Jagger a chance to catch his breath and he’d come back to the stage refreshed and ready to really motor on to the finish line.

Most diplomatic version of "This guy can't sing" ever

Actually he sang better than the singer

Fantastic show! Really awesome crowd back in Field GA, met some cool fans from Brazil who's first show was Copacabana. This was a way better show for me than my last one, Oakland 2013. Sound was great, loud but not too loud, Keith high in the mix in the right places.

I get what people are saying about Mick/Keith moving around less and the music improving, but I think more of it has to do with how happy and relaxed they are on stage this tour. Mick is being wilder and goofier than we've seen in a long time, there's no need anymore to do the wing to wing sprints just to prove a point like on the 90's tours through ABB. They are all clearly having fun and the audience feeds off that. I did notice he backed off a bit during Satisfaction but I don't think it was concerning, I thought he sounded great for most of the night.

There's much more I can say that hasn't been said already. Out of Control was spot on, when the chorus hit and the lights went crazy the back of the floor turned into a rave. I also agree that Start Me Up was even a highlight.

Mick put a photo on his Insta story yesterday at Crystal Springs reservoir in San Mateo, looks like he did get out to see some local sights.

Ready for Pasadena!

Paint It, Black was as hauntingly dark and bleak as you could imagine in the best possible way.
The lengthy ending sounded like some sort of chant or rally from the darkest depths of humanity - the overall vibe was unnerving and almost scary!
It's always lingered somewhere in my top 10 favorite Stones tunes, and after witnessing it again the other night guaranteed it will always have it's rightful place there.
