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...

St Louis on sunday was the best show they've done since 5 years. Miami 2019 in comparaison looks and sounds ridiculous.
No it doesn't.
What exactly "looks and sounds" ridiculous with the Miami 2019 version of Start Me Up, compared to the St. Louis 2021 version?
Start me up it's not the best exemple, i admit (jagger vocals are not so great) Take Symmpathy, IORR, Dice, JJF, Shelter, Satisfaction, matter of taste but huge energy, some freshness. I think it's amazing

Pink was the Pit color wristband. They were pretty free about passing them out to GA holders. Though they were only available at one of the floor access tables. Just asking the ladies for one would have worked.

Thanks Irix for posting all the videos on page 14.
Watched quite a bit of it live here last night via fb links (albeit some of them distant and weak), but now can settle back and absorb with the much higher quality vids....and wow, there's some good ones there.
Happy that Keith played Happy...

Charlie adapted the tempo a bit more to follow how Keith played, while Steve kind of forces up the tempo no matter what. Seems like many people want them to play faster.
Right, right. Charlie was (mainly) following Keith, whereas now Mr. Jordan drives the tempo and the others catch up, they do well, but the sound has changed also because of this.

Always loved how Charlie listened to the band so closely and adjusted his playing to what he heard. It gave the band an organic sound, sometimes loose, but always interesting.
Steve really has an impossible job. It's not possible to recreate a chemistry which took almost 60 years to build up.
They can still sound good and many people will enjoy the shows. But it will never be the same.

Dean's review was brutal! Not sure where he's coming from. He sounds like Jim Deregotis reviewing the Stones in the 90's . I'd see a great show, he'd give a brutal mean spirited review.

Brutal, but fair, I suspect. He praises the Stones plenty. His reviews of their 2017 U.K. shows’ were largely glowing if I recollect correctly.

I always look forward to Dean’s reviews. His style is always the same, maybe the anti BV perspective to some extent. But he keeps on showing up doesn’t he…lol

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.

I love how the Charlie video is the isolated drum track from Can't You Hear Me Knocking.

The three of them together and Mick speaking of Charlie, while Keith take Mick's hand to his... That was a touching moment. Never seen Ronnie so serious and sad. For a moment it look like that Keith will burst into tears. Probably the most un-Stonesy thing they ever have done. Sentimentality is not their Cup of tea, and for that very reason it was so effective.
I think it was a cool thing that Mick thanked the fans for their reaction of master's passing. Namely, not just there at St. Louis, but all over the board the love and admiration shown for Charlie has been so spectacular.

For a moment it looked like that Keith will burst into tears. Probably the most un-Stonesy thing they ever have done. Sentimentality or showing true personal feelings is not their cup of tea, and for that very reason it was so effective. Still sweet, short and compact.
I think it was a class act that Mick thanked the fans for their reaction of master's passing. Namely, not just there in St. Louis, but all over the world the love and admiration shown for Charlie has been so spectacular. That obviously means a lot for them, and helps in their sorrow. The gesture was really thanking people remembering their Charlie - one of them, their brother - not just them showing respect for him. Beautiful.
