First row SFM

I don't post much so go easy on me... It's 3am Pacific time and we just got back to San Diego from the show. It's been a long and great day and I'm not that tired yet! We had three generations at the show: Me, age unknown, daughter 15 and my mother 81! My mom and I have been to about 20 shows and my daughter 4 now. We were up and dancing the whole time. This was an excellent show in my opinion! All of the band was superb including the solo artists. Couple of standouts: Keith's guitar on HTW was so powerful and loud and right on the money. Charlie is always Charlie, Mr. Dependable. Mick was great and had a lot of energy, especially for a guy who just had heart valve surgery in his 75th year. Ronnie was the standout for me. Perhaps I never focussed on his playing so much before or, like others' have said here, he is kicking butt! He was having so much fun. Really enjoyed the show and the Rolling Stones continue to blow me away with their timeless energy and musicianship. They have given my family so much joy and happiness over the years. Thank you to all.

When song vote part of he show started, the guy in front of me was loudly exchanging words with the guy in front of him. A punch was thrown, a punch landed, chaos ensued, everyone around pulled them apart, security came in and escorted both out, and after that minor distraction I realized Rainbow won the vote dammit! I was hoping for Live With Me, but was pleased with Rainbow as I hadn't ever seen them play it live - it was OK.
By the time the tune was over, both of the thugs were back in their seats as if nothing had happened, and they remained peaceful for the rest of the show. Rock and Roll...

A frequent occurrence unfortunately. Always has been. Alcohol and hot weather are a lethal combo. I'm very surprised they were allowed back in this time, especially with a punch thrown and connecting!

The Riff Master has returned! Its a shame these tours are so short. Stones have always been a band that takes a little bit to warm up. I get it tho, Charlie prolly can't wait to get back home. He's never loved life on the road. 78 and still swingin' on those drums all night...He puts us all to shame.

Long for the days before arms holding cell phones blocking views.

Yeah, we only had people holding signs, waving flags and people on shoulders. Yeah, we had it good...

You can't be serious... Geezus take all 3 of mentioned things and they were 1% of what we have now.

The Rolling Stones rise to rock the Rose Bowl

After a May concert was canceled because of Mick Jagger's health issues, the legendary band proved that it's still hearty.

When The Rolling Stones announced in early spring that their spring tour dates, including a planned stop at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, had been canceled because singer Mick Jagger needed heart surgery, a whole lot of fans surely wondered whether this was it.

It, as in the end of the legendary English rock band, which made its U.S debut in San Bernardino.

The Rolling Stones, including the core four of singer Jagger, guitarist-singer Keith Richards, drummer Charlie Watts, and guitarist Ronnie Wood, made up that canceled date on Thursday night in Pasadena, and if you looked past the wrinkles on their septuagenarian faces you could have easily shaved decades off their ages so powerfully did they perform.

In a set that slotted 19 classic Stones tunes into two hours on stage, the band thrilled the packed stadium from the raucous opener “Street Fighting Man” to the completely satisfying “Satisfaction” that closed out the encore as fireworks exploded overhead.

Oh, and actor Robert Downey Jr. came out before the show to announce that NASA had named a rock on Mars after the band — more on that in a bit.

The show on Thursday was part of the band’s No Filter tour, which kicked off in Europe in the fall of 2017 — even before Jagger’s health scare the band toured at a leisurely pace befitting its stature and age.

But maybe a little extra rest between gigs is the secret to a long career, for as “Street Fighting Man” slipped into “You Got Me Rocking” — the song off 1994’s “Voodoo Lounge” the most recent number they played — the Stones performed with power and passion throughout the set.

“Tumbling Dice” ended with Jagger, 76, strutting the length of the ramp, clapping his hands and exhorting the crowd to join him.

He paused at the end of it to acknowledge the honor bestowed on the band by NASA through Downey — a rock dislodged by the Insight lander on Mars last year had rolled a bit across the Red Planet’s landscape, and the brainy wags decided to announce its name as Rolling Stones Rock on Thursday.

“NASA has given us something we’ve always dreamed of, our own rock on Mars,” Jagger said. “Can’t wait to put it on the mantelpiece.”

Highlights of the first half of the show included “She’s A Rainbow,” the 1967 number that’s one of the prettiest songs in the Stones’ catalog, and on Thursday the winner of the fans’ request vote.

Add to that the loveliness of an acoustic mini-set that brought the four Stones to the secondary stage at the end of the ramp — Jagger announced they’d be off to the 50-yard line as they walked out — where they played the country rock-influenced songs “Sweet Virginia” and “Dead Flowers.”

While Wood, the baby at 72, plays most of the lead guitar on stage, at times Richards, 75, takes the prominent role as he did on the back to back pairing of “Sympathy For The Devil,” still ominous all these years later, and “Honky Tonk Women,” where his opening riffs still thrill with the rawness of the Chicago blues that inspired so much of the band’s early work.

Jagger apologized to the crowd for having to postpone the earlier date, then joking that it had inconvenienced the Stones too: “We’re missing Thursday night’s turtle races at Brennan’s,” he said.

(He also claimed they’d wandered Hollywood Boulevard, looking for their star on the sidewalk, which they couldn’t find. But … do we believe that?)

But mostly he and the band — which also includes such stellar longtime sidemen as bassist Darryl Jones, keyboardist Chuck Leavell and backing vocalist Bernard Fowler — stuck to the hits, playing songs they’ve done hundreds of times with the enthusiasm of brand-new favorites.

fter Jagger introduced the band with a handful of random superlatives — Wood was dubbed “the Picasso of Pasadena,” Watts, 78, was announced as drummer and “Greenland’s new economic adviser” — Richards took center stage for his traditional two songs on vocals, on Thursday, “You Got The Silver” and the always fantastic “Before They Make Me Run.”

When Jagger returned to the mic the back half of the night sizzled with songs such as the slinky dance-rock of “Miss You,” featuring Jones’ disco-fied solos on bass, the great blues-rock of “Midnight Rambler,” which saw Jagger on harmonica and Wood on guitar having a blast together, and “Jumping Jack Flash,” one of many big crowd-sing-alongs of the night.

After “Brown Sugar” closed the main set the Stones returned for a pair of encore numbers, starting with “Gimme Shelter” which feature backing vocalist Sasha Allen wailing alongside Jagger.

“Satisfaction” is a song they may have played more often than any other, but on Thursday you’d never have guessed it, all of these legendary gents grinning and laughing, still having fun, still in good health, all these years after they arrived.

JJF doesn't have a bridge - what part are you talking about?

"...Wood, the baby at 72..."

Even standing alone without relation to the age of the others this could be argued
