Thank you Jody for the stream, it was nice to be able to watch the end of the last show of the tour in real time. Glad I was able to catch LA #1 live, and hope that my Scandinavian trip in July next year coincides with some European shows.
It may have all become a little formulaic, but it is still amazing that they can keep at it. They all seem to feed off of the energy of live shows. Keith was practically glowing at the end. It was also great to see Ronnie looking so animated. His hair even grew back in on this tour and he is starting to look like the old Ronnie Face. Sasha Allen has really come into her own compared to the times I saw her in 2016 and 2019, and seems to be in the prime of her career. Hats off to Steve Jordan for taking on the impossible task of filling Charlie's shoes and delivering the goods.
Given all the obstacles--the loss of Charlie, COVID, Ronnie's bouts with cancer, Mick's heart surgery, a couple of years stuck in idle with no shows--we are fortunate to still be able to enjoy the world's greatest Rock 'n Roll band. Gold rings on all of them and each and every one of you.

Hmm, just reading through the comments and there seem to be a lot of "I built up these expectations and the band failed to deliver," which may not b entirely logical. I was only able to catch bits and pieces, and it may not have been the best show of the tour, but any Stones show is better than most other bands' shows, so I'm reserving judgment on this one.

Dreadful setlist.
I'm a casual fan---mid 30s, seen them 15 or so times, including two gigs this leg---but I'm done. It's been a delight. I've put enough gold rings on THEM.

Hearing the entrance to the floor was a shitshow. Pushing and shoving, no lining up.

A BIG, BIG THANK YOU to Jody Hancock Bottiglia who saved the show for us pretty much I guess. And GL for finding her!

Honesty about the band is what separates Stones fans from KISS fans. KISS fans will buy and love everything the band tells them too. Some Stones fans are the same.

Hi all from dnewton98 (Youtube handle)
- I will post my vids in a bit but they won't be the usual closeups and many are from far left and are very blurry. It was a fun show but worthless for vids for me given I wasn't on rail or in the seats
- Look at Fake Fan videos - he says he is very tall (wish I could have met him in person) and was center per vids I have seen. His iphone shot fantastic footage. Let me know who else has good footage so I can watch
- It was a fantastically fun show but one of the few I would say seats might be better than PIT.
Several reasons -
- Stage was quite low - so unless you were on the very limited rail space there were a ton of heads, arms and cell phones in your view. We were 2nd/3rd row back in PIT - very close - but you could not see much except between people and waving arms. Even back of PIT was fraught with heads, arms (due to low stage). I pulled back and to the side to see better
- Very limited rail space - smaller venue of course; and very insane door management - see other reports as they are all true. No way to even have a shot at the rail unless you were maybe the first 20 people - and even that was a maybe. The venue would not let you line up and shoo'd people away all day. Line flowed into slot/casino and walkway so they often dispersed the entire line. And when doors opened - well you would have had to be there to believe it - but suffice to say it was easy for 200+ people who got there last minute to get ahead of people who were there a while.
- Way taller people than normal - seriously tall people. ha. Possibly more he Germans and Danes at this show - ha ha.
- Sound was tougher up close - kind of performance/concert hall style so all speakers pointed further out which is pretty normal for that kind of venue - but made PIT sound much muddier.
- Loads of smoke for lots of songs and I thought the lighting was really tough - too red, dark - so jealous of newer iphones as they can handle it quite well (if you are close).
- The live camera footage on the big screens was outstanding though - so it should be great if they release it (please!)
- Our group of buddies had a fantastic couple of days and I was thrilled to be there - just not a video friendly show (would love to see and hear some footage from the seats - which were really close and had a fantastic view - I snuck up to seat area and it looked and sounded amazing from there but I didn't last long as security shoo'd me off and no empty seats to hide in)

Well, if it takes 15 gigs for a casual fan to get fed up with them, they are pretty obviously doing something right...

Haven’t read the thread.. but had the time of my life regardless of the setlist etc.
Kind of expected a shorter setlist.
The sound in the venue was the best I’ve ever heard, the acoustics were amazing.
So glad I was able to make this show.
Had an absolute blast!
