Great review Hendrik, and so glad you and Matt got in there to see the show, and I for one am looking forward to following the gig on Sunday on IORR.
I hope there was another huge Stones fan who made it as well.
Very positive comments about the band and the performance, and nothing less than I expected from The Rolling Stones.
Hopefully all the people on this thread that didn't think much of it, and just judging it from short snippets, will not bother with the rest of the Tour.
They won't be missed.
I for one will try to follow all the gigs on IORR, in the early hours from SW London.
Bring it on Mick, Keith,Ronnie, Steve............and our dear Charlie, watching it all with great interest from above.

The Rolling Stones played their first concert without Charlie Watts - [UltimateClassicRock.com] .
Ultimate Classic Rock almost got that right! (Charlie missed a show in 1964)

Out of curiosity, what made Keith 'tragic'?
He looks completely lost and out of it. Hardly able to play the guitar, very nervous, tentative and almost paralysed at some points. The guitar is a real struggle for him now. I felt sorry for him.

Steve is different. Hope they use his abilities to end on their own terms now.

Time for Jagger, Richards and Wood to go solo, imo.
Well, good path would be doing these US shows, then some shows in Europe next year to celebrate the 60th anniversary, release last album with Charlie's tracks and then quit as the Rolling Stones. That would probably please the majority of fans and preserve their great legacy.
Are you arguing that if you are rich, you can't be an RS fan? Are real fans poor?Quote

Nice tribute by Mick.Can feel the love.
Yet it would be more sincere if said in front of genuine fans,and not a set of jet set clowns who probably know little of the Stones and their legacy.A missed opportunity.Would have been so easy to have had a club show for the genuine fans and dedicated this to Charlie.

Perhaps We are projecting our own perspective about what this band should be. As if we owned the canonical definition.
Stones are bigger than that. And the band is bigger than its members.
They might be the only band who has reached the absolute level. The right to do anything. The right to do anytime what they want. Whether we like it or not.
I may think that no Bill and no Charlie mean/equals NO stones sound. So what...
The could play polka on stage. It is Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and Ron Wood on stage....and the only ones able to play an inmense repertoire. "we do not care if some of you don´t follow us..." they may think.
(and by the way...they already know that no Bill and no Charlie means no stones sound anymore...)
