The Stones have always had some dodgy shows. Ever heard the first night of 81 tour?

They were nothing short of electric in Vegas. I was amazed and would be surprised if they stopped touring because of a few off nights. Let's be thankful they pulled off this leg of the tour, which seemed an impossible task 6 months ago, and let them rest post-tour/call the shots on what they should or shouldn't do.

Agreed. We were there. That was a good one. I would much rather trust the opinion of someone who did the tour or at least 6 or 8 shows. Those watching streams and youtube videos or went to one show only got a snapshot.
Maybe two 6 to 8 show mini tours a few months apart would work better. Face it they have been on the road about 3 months counting rehearsals.

I feel Hollywood Bowl will be there last. Do not feel 60th anniversary will happen. A new album maybe. The gas has gone
They have, except now it's true. The Stones now need to do occasional shows, not tours. Keith is out of it a lot during shows looking very tired.

I saw Charlotte and Atlanta - enjoyed both very much and got to several songs for the 1st time (for me):
Trouble's A-Coming
Ghost Town
She's A Rainbow
19Th Nervous
and Shattered - which I hadn't seen since 1981.
The playing and sound were great (not flawless), but was sure glad I was there.

I agree. They are not rushing through it like on many live versions, but it has that dancy, bouncy feel of the original recording. Steve's drums play a big part in it.Quote

Start me up: maybe this is the perfect live version.
Not too fast or slow. Not too forced.Every instrument is perfect, especially Steve and Darryl.

I would love to shake Steve Jordan's hand for all of the great work he's done on this tour. His presence made it possible!

It was an adventurous journey for three nights, coming from Vienna, Austria to see the the stones. For me good stones concert is a concert with at least one magical moment. In Austin, there were several. Sometimes they seemed to be so fragile, and then they just shined in great feel and musicality. For example MR. There were parts they seemed to fall apart, loosing the goal. An then you have the heavy harmonica guitarpart. The three of them centerstage...then almost falling apart again. Then you have that @#$%& great bluesrockgaragebandsolo from Ronnie...the guy who had (has) serious cancer. Tears came into my eyes, witnessing such musicaly loose and human greatness. I think that was my 25th concert, beginning 1982 in Vienna. They still touch my heart and are inspiring me every time, especially the last 8 years. Thank you Stones, thank you Charlie

They sent me an email saying to put your parking space letter in your waze app and it would give you directions.
Of course I put in “H” the $200 parking even though I had a $30 pass, sure enough it took us down a back road to a side entrance and at 6 o’clock I was pulling up next to gate 1.
I went a step further and parked in lot H thinking they would make me leave but they never checked my pass, just waved me into a space- thank you!
Show was good, no reason to get overly dramatic. You guys will see them in Europe next year and they’ll kick ass like always.
If you saw the video clip from awhile back of Keith going to the drum riser, taking a hit off a smoke and him and Jordan start laughing you probably figured out Keith is on the weed.
It’s not his age making him blank for a second, when I smoke that shit I forget what I’m saying in the middle of a sentence.
band is fine, on to Europe.

Taking advantage of the sheer incompetence of COTA; well played.
Glad you enjoyed the show…

And, despite all the criticism, Keith's playing was very good on this one.
