When I said Monkey Man was played at Chicago 2 for the first time in 12 years, I got my information from setlist.fm. That website said Chicago 2 was the first time Monkey Man was played since August 8, 2007. I really don't know if setlist.fm is correct or not.

2013. Los Angeles. The last time I will see them unless something changes drastically. Improved setlists. New musicians. Something.

A tight, solid performance, not a bad show really — there isn’t a bad Rolling Stones show, for that matter — but I felt something was thin, if not entirely missing. Call it the fifth element or whatever you name it.
I don’t think they were phoning it in or going through the motions. But in Manchester, I got the impression the band gave everything, and then some. What I felt lacked from their Edinburgh show is that some portion, a special something.
Maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s because of the crap nosebleed seat I hit on with my LD.
I had been dying to hear She’s A Rainbow for years and years — the moment those three words were projected on the gigantic, monolithic screens as the vote winner, I was so glad. Yet when they finished it, I found I was slightly disappointed. It just doesn’t work live that brilliantly. Clearly one of those numbers whose value rely on their rare outings in live performance rather than the actual on stage dynamics. Don’t get me wrong, I was delighted to hear it for sure. But once is enough.
The whole experience has left me in a somewhat anticlimactic state of mind. Just another night for me.

Not sure either, but whatever the case Chicago 2 was thrilling! First of the four I saw last year, and to see Mick charge out on stage after his health scare and recovery...astonishing and I'll never forget the moment.
And to keep on topic of the thread, Chi 2 was the last time my wife ever saw the Stones. She was also going to come to Pasadena with me, but due to the rescheduling she had to bow out due to other commitments.

By '89 it was obvious that Mick's voice wasn't what it was compared to even the early 80's (their last tour at the time). Even noticed a difference b/w '89 vs. '94 voice.

I saw all those tours (in the US and Europe) and, in my opinion, it was obvious to me that Mick's voice was much better in the 1989 / 1990 tours than in the 1981 / 1982 tours. In the earlier tours he was often singing in a low register (his cocaine voice) and was just spitting out his lyrics on a lot of songs... on the latter tours he was really singing and honing his craft and hitting high notes again... he was in superb physical condition and it showed.
And in the 1994 / 1995 tours his voice was, if anything, even better than in the previous tours...
