Yes! It is the first time I went to a Rolling Stones concert where they didn't have people with spots on the light towers. This Made a huge difference. I wonder if this is to lower costs?

Like the stage itself, I would assume so.

Hopefully Keith and Ronnie aren't cutting costs by using cheap guitar strings!

Guys, as I told you before, I wasn’t disrespectful. When somebody said @#$%& off, I said sorry and stayed back. I know how it works for you.

Im just telling you how it works for us, and the differences I saw yesterday. I saw several discussions. And Spain had a lot of immigrants from South America, particularly from Argentina.

It is not ok, I know. But I was surprised by the people attitude. Used to see a different thing in my experience in America.

If you have the opportunity go to Argentina for a Rolling Stone gig. Get a seat ticket, because in the pit you could be really upset if you're so respectful. But it could be the best show in your life. Check it, please.

video: [youtu.be]

Peace and Rolling Stones for everybody. Cheers!

Well, if that's the way things work in Argentina I'm not buying a seat but I will come 5 minutes before the show and then get myself a nice spot right at the front. If that's how it's done and everybodys fine with that, pretty cool! Thanks for letting me know. Guess all the other people who come earlier just do that because it's fun and for the atmosphere of queuing up.

(Pretty sure that's also not how it works in Argentina. Never been there but maybe Christiano or someone else can tell us)

It is what it is, folk! Don’t get angry with me, I’m just telling you how it works. Don’t take it personal, I know how to behave and I never had a problem. I’m an adult and I follow the stones a long time ago too.

Have a good night!

Alwyn Welch review

"Keith I think played as well, and probably better, than any show on the last tour – and that was very good indeed, better than for a decade or more. His singing, his no-smoking voice, is as good as 50 years ago."

According to Rolling Stone, first time in a concert setting...Out Of Time:

Mick introduced it as a live premiere. According to Bill's 'Rolling with the Stones', however, it was played on the Sep/Oct 1966 UK tour. I'll go with Bill.

I recall Mick introducing 'Melody' at Shepherds Bush in 1999 as a song they'd never done live but of course it was played at El Mocambo.

'Out of time' is a song I've always wanted them to play live as I've always felt it would be great in a stadium as a singalong. Great to see it unearthed at last. They did a very good job of it too.

Mick also said on opening night in Washington DC in 93 "Here's one we have never played live" and it was hot stuff, which of course id on Love you Live.....lol

Before tonight, Setlist.fm had no listings for Out of Time having been played live. Their site is all fan driven so that doesn't mean it didn't happen, just that no fans have reported that they were at a gig where it did. But they are usually pretty reliable.

I've been doing a setlists page on Rocks Off since about 2006. setlistfm get a lot of their info from that.

We havent updated that page until recently (its not quite finished but we've been working on it for about a year on and off and some of it is now updated). Its very hard to get setlists prior to 1969 as there are so few recordings but whilst there was previously no documentation of it having ever been performed, more info has come to light since it was last updated and that was Bill's 'rolling with the stones' book which lists it amongst the songs played on the UK tour in september/october 1966. I've personally always found it hard to imagine they wouldnt have played that song that year as it was a highlight of 'Aftermath' and a number 1 single for Chris Farlowe so I'm happy enough to lean towards Bill as a more reliable source of info on this occasion.

Mick and Keith (I’m guessing. Has he mentioned either way?) think yesterday was the first time they’ve ever played it and Bill Wyman can’t even narrow it down to a specific month, but you believe Bill?

Mick's hopeless with these kind of things. The same Mick who claimed at Shepherds Bush theyd never played 'Melody' before? Go check out your copy of El Mocambo... And the same Mick who gave up writing his autobiography in the 1980's partly because he could hardly remember stuff.

Bill's the band's historian and the most reliable eye witness of all of them. Everybody knows that. Hes not unable to 'narrow it down to a specific month'. The tour RAN from September - October 1966. He made a note of the songs played during the tour as he did for each tour in the rest of his book. If he was doing so for each show, the book would have been five times the size it was.

I'm always amazed at these massive stadium shots from the far reaches of the back of venue and/or the upper levels.
This particular one has a sci-fi vibe to it giving the impression of a giant flying saucer floating through space filled with tens of thousands of people...

Are you saying that he has the exact date in his notes but not in his book?



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2022-06-03 02:41 by NashvilleBlues.

Its quite possible. As his numerous books show, he was very anal about this stuff. All I know is he recorded that it was played on that particular tour.

If he's devoting two pages to memorabilia about a tour that lasted over two weeks, it would be a bit pointless and boring to list a setlist from all of them. The Stones had played almost 1,000 shows by that stage of their career (they played 88 in 1966 - they were starting to cut down by then). I doubt listing setlists from every one of them would be of much interest to the average reader.

Bill said long ago that one of the reasons he started documenting stuff was because when he joined the Stones he had a young son and thought it would be nice to show him stuff when he got older about the time his dad was in a band and was on TV etc. It just got a bit out of hand I suppose and as no one else in the band was interested in keeping this stuff together he took the task on himself.



Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 2022-06-03 03:12 by Gazza.

Maybe an insider or personal friend of Bill has some significant info. and/or is able to bring up the subject with him for clarification.
I'm sure he'd happily be ready and willing to dig deep in order to help set the record straight and solve the mystery, and might even reveal more "secrets" if given the opportunity.
Have to say it's a bit surprising though that there isn't any absolute confirmation when practically every other trivial minutiae from the band has been documented.
Similar to the Beatles history where seemingly ever single minute of every single day of every year of their existence has been documented.
Surely there has to be an answer as to whether the Stones have ever played Out of Time before...or maybe not?!!!

"Slip away, pal" is obviously an instant classic [www.youtube.com]

and just as cool right after that when they come in late for the bridge Keith exclaims "Bastards!"

Keith's set is the new spot for cleaning the stage

They'd figured he was mike-bound. Very wrong. I know that working with these things is strictly prohibited within 15 feet of people. Especially in this situation the confetti could have been blown into peoples eyes with tremendous force. Brooms always worked fine.

To me Keith comes across as a deranged old man who barely can play anymore but still finds the need to reprimand his crew members. But each to their own I guess.

Believe me, there are plenty of details from that era which are hard to document. Look at the 1971 tour for example - a later period, where bootlegs were starting to become commonplace. Hardly a recording exists from that tour (understandable to a degree, the venues were very small) and even getting verification of setlists is very problematic.

There are only something like ten concerts from the Brian Jones era - out of over 1,000 shows - where there is a recording. And only one of them is from the US (the very last one in Honolulu 1966). I think if he's listed that OOT was performed on a particular tour then thats as close to 'clarification' as we're likely to get - unless there's someone out there reading this who was at a show where it was performed and recalls hearing it.

"Out of Time" is not mentioned in "Stone Alone".

In "Rolling With The Stones" there are several mentions. The key one is on P244 where Bill lists the songs played on the Sept-Oct 1966 UK Tour.

As mentioned elsewhere, Bill is famously fussy about accuracy, so if he has noted it in his book, then it's a valid assumption that it's accurate. You question his accuracy at your peril!

His diaries - which are extensive and detailed - would say which dates it was played on. (For reasons unclear, there was a short period early this century when he put up chunks of his diary onto his web site. Those that I grabbed are VERY detailed. He stopped doing it after a while and the pages vanished.)

Well who cares if Out of Time was played in 1966 or not? There are no audio or video recordings of it, and it's more than 50 years ago. Now we finally have an OoT live version we can listen to and enjoy.

OK well no one said that they played Sas Sad Sad with mick not playing guitar. That's a first. The song works way better is Mick freed up

I found SSS the worst performance of the evening. They will probably rotate that one so that's great.

very impressed by Keith who is moving around more and playing more. Riffing very hard on SFM. Fantastic. Can't wait for Munchen

Stones in Madrid

Finally after covid the Stones are back in Europe. My first show without Charlie. I have had some serious mixed emotions about the death of Charlie, the continuation of the band etc. But after the Amsterdam rehearsals and the Stones being in Holland I knew there still was a big love in me for this band.

The Stones started out late 22:15 and opened strong with Street Fighting Man. Next was a unheard live tune for me 19th Nervous Breakdown, was a great rocker!

Highlight of the evening was Out of time! To be Honest I was a bit sceptical about this song, but the magic was there! During the song Jagger out did himself as a rock n roll star! He and the band Pushed this song to a higer level. Like Bambi on Ice it became instantly to a great sing along crowd pleaser! Was a magic moment!

Other memorable moments were the actual pictures of Ukraine war shown during Gimme Shelter. And there was a strange moment at the start of Satisfaction. Keith and Ron were not ready with their guitars and already the famous notes of the song could be heard? Seemed like some sort of backing tape was playing? I was wondering of other attenders of the show noticed this?

Overall a great show especially considering the age of Jagger Richards and Wood! A beautifull memorial and respect to Charlie Watts. Jordon does a Nice job replacing Charlie. Yes he drums different as Charlie but then again an icon as Charlie can’t be duplicated.

It’s the Stones in 2022, they still rock!

Hello, friends! Now with a question about merch. This time I couldn't find the typical t-shirt with the city poster. Only one with a tongue with the colors of Spain. Are they not selling that line of t-shirts anymore? Does anyone know? Thanks!
