Soooooooooo......
I'm biting the bullet. Despite the loss of Charlie, setlist omissions, and COVID, after having watched videos of the first 2 shows, I realize I just need to go one last time, to get to my fabled lucky 13 shows...to take my sons to their first show and create what will hopefully be a lasting memory. I am scared as hell, as none of us are vaxed and Nashville seems to be a hotbed BUT I have bought tix far away - probably the furtherest away from the stage since I first saw them at age 21. I thought of different ways for us to limit our proximity to others, and this was the best I came up with. We have seats in the last row of our section, and I bought extra tix so that we will have a little bit of space to ourselves. We will also be masked the entire time, from the approach to the stadium until we are back in the car.
I need to say farewell to the live version of what is now The Rolling Stones. I need to pay my respects for our dearly departed Charlie. I need to share that grief with those who understand and feel the same. I want to create and have this final show be a memory that, hopefully, my boys talk about long after I am one day gone. I have said since I was 21, seeing the Stones live is truly the greatest show on earth. I look forward to one last hurrah with the band. I'm nervous and excited all at once. I'll be driving from Connecticut, to upstate NY to pick up my sons, and then down to Nashville - 16 hours one way and 18 back.
See you all tomorrow night!!!

If I were there I would avoid you and yours like the *plague. (*back when everyone actually avoided plagues)
In all seriousness I hope you have the time of your lives, as I've done the same with my boys.
That said, totally irresponsible and selfish to subject them to this environment imo.
Unfair as well to those of us not wanting to be anywhere near unvaxxed kids, who have no choice, that we could potentially infect.
Hope "the long after I'm one day gone" conversations aren't relatively soon.
Good luck!

I understand your perspective, Mr. DDDDDD. I talked to them about it ahead of time, and they are both over the age of 12. So it's not as if they aren't eligible for it. They feel comfortable enough to go, under the circumstances I have created. And when I specifically asked if they'd be interested in going to a Stones concert, the response was "Hell Yeah." So, hard to argue with that. Not looking to subject anyone else to COVID in either direction. That's why we will be MASKED, and I bought extra tickets to keep us distant from folks like you and vice-versa. We are high up in the stadium, so as to hopefully NOT have to breathe in as much of the air that others are exhaling. I put a LOT of thought into this whole thing. I do NOT take COVID lightly. My wife is a type-1 diabetic, and this means that I will have to be away from her self-quarantining for weeks after the show - more than just 2 - to be sure that I am safe to come home.

Here's a pic from Darryl in SL where you can kind of see the Friends and Family/VIP area.
The indented area by the catwalk behind pit 2.
Not overly large and tucked in there, don't believe there's one on Ronnie's side.
Here's one from Pittsburgh where you can see similar.

I really hope that this last show has a more diverse setlist that the most recent few shows has had - Ghost, Trouble's A-Coming, and really would love to hear Far Away Eyes. Just want to selfishly grab as many unheard live songs as I can. Would LOVE for Keef to break out Thru & Thru - my favorite of his, and actually, I used to sing it to my elder son when I'd change his diaper as a baby, and I'd act like Johnny Depp in Pirates. He got a kick out of it and used to laugh the whole time I was changing him. Saw Steve say that they rehearsed Moonlight Mile - THAT would be a real treat!! I long ago gave up on getting Almost Hear You Sigh - my only top 10 favorite song that I've never heard live. Either way lots of Mixed Emotions for sure.
See you all tomorrow night!!!
