The simple answer to this Brown Sugar issue is to play 20 songs. Several shows over the last few tours have had 20 songs. It’s not that unusual.

Very well said BFR, and agree whole heartedly.
Great to share in some of this with you.
Just got in from the flight(s) back, and am going to gather my thoughts, but like you I decided after Charlie passed that I had to be there.
For myself, for other fans, and most importantly for the band. They needed this.. If I had to sum up the experience in one word, it would be- cathartic.
Yep, cathartic is exactly what it was. Being around other fans and seeing the remaining Stones was good for my soul. It was great to spend some time with you and hope to see you again down the road

Thank you to DEAN GOODMAN, i might not agree with it but i love your humour and honesty, that review made my day
As always, I really enjoyed reading Dean Goodman’s review: no sugar-coating the reality; just honest opinions and observations.

Thanks for the reviews, I enjoyed reading those. This BS debate is predictably moronic

Didn't enjoy Dean Goodmans review so much, though. I get why he resonates with some of you, but most of his observations are actually VERY subjective...

Who is the guy with a hat on the left who plays keyboards next to Chuck?

The only review I am looking forward to reading is the one by Dean Goodman. I love the way he writes. He never educates, and he knows what he is talking about. I love his sarcasm too. A journalist, reviewer has gotta be good with words...
I cannot wait for his next piece.
Agree, make it an even 20 song set and call it a night. 19 is such an odd number for a set given the unlimited number of songs they can play. It’s also a relatively quick show by today’s standards. Give us 20 and some Brown Sugar!Quote

Anyone in St Louis get GA floor tix they could help answer a question I have??
When getting my floor wristband, the guy asked if I was by myself, then said he was going to give me a "special" pink floor wristband "right up front".
I replied.. Pit !!?
And he said no that it was at the "front of the floor" though, and I would be "very happy".(sidenote- I already was "very happy )
Off I went and combined with my Lucky Dip wristband I was able to walk to the front of the floor all the way to the pit, where I knew I couldn't just stand, so I then checked TM for any seats that were unsold. I grabbed one in Sec A on the aisle, and watched it not sell on TM right up until they stopped selling just before the show,
Kicking myself now for not finding out where that "special pink" wristband was supposed to land me. I assumed he was just pulling my leg as I was fairly early and not much of a crowd had entered.
Anyone get a regular wristband for the floor that can verify color etc?
After Topi suggested it might have been for friends and family, kicking myself for not finding out

More than one thing can be true at the same time.
A warhorse can be skipped for more than one reason.
It can be great to see the remaining Stones in concert making music, while the music can be different in an important way without Charlie.
Steve’s drumming may have sped up songs that have slowed down over the past ten years, and we can like that. At the same time, some songs may be missing some of the roll or swing.
It can be great that Keith and Ron are still playing, enjoying themselves, and exciting audiences, while noticing that there are songs where they are contributing less to the sound.
We can appreciate what the Stones bring in their late 70’s, while noticing that they are no longer in their 20’s, 30’s, or 60’s.

We got lower bowl with our Lucky Dips, but I did attempt to speak with guest relations a few times to see about exchanging for Floor tickets. Anyways, in walking around the concourse, we also stood next to the wristband table for those with floor tickets (the sign behind the table stated for those with Rear GA and Sections A-C and whatever the next group of floor sections were). I think those with Pit then needed another wristband given out on the Floor just prior to entering the Pit - I could be wrong here. Anyways, those wristbands being given out on the concourse for Floor access were a lime/neon green.
