Thanks, Doxa, I had no idea. I think I found it (or at least some of it, a "Lista" episode including a reportage on the concert) in the YLE Areena archives. [areena.yle.fi]

Yeah, that's the one - those small but very well filmed clips bring so much good memories of that lightful summer evening when the sun refused to go down easily... But I am afraid that the Yle Areena works only for Finnish market.

StonedRamblerI think the great thing about Not Fade Away as an opener was not the song itself but rather how it set the tension for Tumbling Dice to totally smash as a second song.Quote

Not Fade Away was a perfect opening number.
This! Still recall at my very first Stones concert ever, Helsinki '95, how hypnotic "Dice" sounded like. Not that "Not Fade Away" was not wonderful itself too, it surely was, but it was like a 'foreplay' song, the band hitting the stage, building up the atmosphere and excitment with a not-so-typical song, but then all of that fully exploded in "Dice" - the latter offering the essential Stones groove at its very best. Like a showcase of 'this is what it is'. It could be that that still is my biggest individual Stones live song experience ever - finally realizing how amazing and 'present right now' those classic songs sound like played live by the greatest rock and roll band in the world. It was like losing a virginity.
Actually I just a while ago discovered that the version of "Tumbling Dice" was filmed and released by Finnish television back then (and could be found from their online archives). It was not just my subjective thrill clouding my judgment - it was a hot version indeed.

Thanks for posting! Always great to hear see good quality pro-shotsQuote

Here's a link which worked for me: [yle.fi]
Scroll down a bit to the right clip. Wasn't able to look at the clip from the links above.
Had exactly the same experience. After that the setlist continues to be super clever and thought out - playing You Got Me Rocking, which has a much faster tempo, directly after the medium tempo Dice lets it seem super energetic and exciting which it might not have been if they played a faster one before it. Ending the first block with Satisfaction is just as smart - after jumpin around on that one everyone was exhausted and ready for the ballad set.Quote

Mick's new hairstyle resembles Brian's old hairdo.

And Keith should rehearse the opening riffs very carefully. No "Scarf ME Up" again please.Quote

Same. Love it to death too. I could do without Satisfaction, Paint it Black, Gimme Shelter, It's Only Rock n Roll and other warhorses but if they didn't play Dice I'd be really disappointed. Same with JJF.Quote

TUMBLING DICE always good to have on a setlist. It always works. The Stones themselves must think that too. I love this song to death. Rarely seen a show without it.

Yeah, has nothing at all to do with a scarf. If a scarf does anything then dampen the strings so they wont vibrate.Quote

you do know that all that's ever been wrong with history can be explained by people hanging on to a phrase like "scarf me up" when it's been proven beyond reasonable doubt that no scarf ever started a song on the wrong fret or played any note at all for that matter. everyone who knows the phrase also knows that it's bullshit
