Really loved Sasha on Gimme Shelter. To be honest this is what keeps bringing me back over and over. I hope she fronts her own band!
Amen to that! Sasha blew me away in Detroit. GIMME SHELTER has become a masterpiece live. Would like to see her perform solo, too.

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!

Keith reminds me of the HAL9000 computer when Dave Bowman removes his memory modules one by one...

It's understandable if people pushed and shoved last night. The venue security probably could have done a better job. Reading reports that it's been like that at that same venue for other shows as well. Not good.

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.
So see ya down front next show?

All of them? Austin (racetrack in the middle of nowhere with questionable logistics) is also understandable. So is the "pit palaver" from last night. I don't seem to recall the in/out aspect being an issue in the reviews of other recent shows but of course I could be wrong.

My theory of Keith sitting down when playing the intro since Pittsburgh proved to be true.
I think he should sit down more often during the shows if it makes him play better.

Hearing the entrance to the floor was a shitshow. Pushing and shoving, no lining up.
Got some good footage of that.
Was in the bar facing the line, waiting till it cleared out.
Switched to video on the camera when fists broke out..
Was really intense for a few..
Made it to the pit, and still plenty of room..

I thought the show was excellent, despite the short song list and lack of deeper cuts.
I did miss being in the pit, but not if I couldn't see, which was likely, given how the process went: From Donna: "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." That would have pissed me off. Nice meeting you, dnewton, btw,
Mr. DDDD, would love to see your tape of the crowd trying to get in.
On the good side, great sound from where I was sitting, and what they all put into this show, most of all Mick, was amazing, the twists and turns, literally and metaphorically. Not on auto-pilot at all, in my view.

Kick ass live album? With all the guitar parts overdubbed maybe. The guitar playing last night was either missing or horrible with a few exceptions... Many guitar parts from the original tracks are played live by keyboards or horns. Keith wanders around most of the time and chimes in with a few mistimed chords. Woody's solos were mostly cringe inducing. But whatever. To each his own. They fulfilled their contract, that was the point

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.
