Musically, they sounded flat. Plus Rough Justice is a snoozer, the best song from their worst album.Tumbling Dice, Let's Spend the Night Together, She Was Hot would have been better choices. If they played Street Fighting Man like they did in 1973 or Jumping Jack Flash like they did in 1989, that would have been awesome.
I was really disappointed that they were not 40 years younger and Brian Jones was not with them. I want my money back.

Brian quit?! When was this??
You know, I once went to see Bob Dylan. I was expecting this protest singer playing just by himself acoustic guitar and harmonica once in a while, but oh shit, there was this loud rock and roll band called Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers backing him up. And the dude even was singing like I couldn't recognize the bloody songs. They didn't even give my bloody money back.

I had exactly the same experience in Rotterdam. By themselves Tom Petty's band did fine and so was Roger McGuin, but Bob Dylan was a load of crap. 50 minutes of totally uninspired "singing", bored to death ... and I also didn't get my money back. Shame on you, Bob.

I seem to recall Mick saying he was dissatisfied with the overall performance and vibe, but I could be mistaken...he could have been referring to the entire ABB tour itself.

I don't see your point in saying something like that. Generally speaking and also because Mick was filmed right after doing it telling Keith he did a fantastic solo for some reason. Obviously it could be he just had to say that being aware of the camera and in reality thought that it sucked like they just hide how they suck all the time

15 minutes are long enough for more than three songs! My Stars on 45 has 25 songs on it including stuff like Take It Or Leave It, Tell Me and Under the Boardwalk. And there'd be Star Star for the scandal necessary on American tv.

Haha, me too. Actually that was my first introduction to some of their songs, such as "Sympathy For The Devil"... That was early 1982, and although I was busy purchasing their catalogue, I didn't have yet BEGGARS BANQUET (Nor EXILE, because I bought those two at the same token by mail. Now WHAT A POST PACKAGE THAT WAS!).
Well, to be honest, I bought the Stars on 45 record a year or two later (cost next to nothing by then), since I recorded the medlay initially from a radio to a cassette. But I listened that a lot!

I may lack some reading ability. For I seemed to register some kind of irony in Doxa's post. He did not obtain what he expected, far from it. But I read you, Doxa, to have been very much pleased all the same. Both by what you gained, and by having the unexpected.
Added: Now don't tell me, georgie48, that you were ironic, too. The possibility suddenly struck me.
