For the first time Mick actually showed his age, did anyone else see that heavy breathing between songs, what a relief, he is human after all bless him.
Tell you what, Mick out of breath is still magnificent, i actually think he was faking the heavy breathing.
That man can't get old, he really can't because if Mick gets old we lose our dreams.
Love you Mick, keep on Rocking, sorry I've enjoyed watching all the videos over a few too many drinks.

He kinda did the same last year a few times. Plus, there's that running gag in the middle of "Midnight Rambler" when he sits down and wipes his brow, much to Keith's amusement.
It is a gag but rooted in some truth. If anything he's revealing to us that this can be hard work at his age. Almost like a playful "see what you guys are putting me through here?" But obviously he loves it.

and just as cool right after that when they come in late for the bridge Keith exclaims "Bastards!"
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.
I hope to God if I'm alive at age 78 i become a demented old man like Keith selling out Stadiums playing high-octain Rock for 2 hour 15 minutes without a break.
We've heard it all before since 81' Keith's brain is fried, he can't hear, he's had a stroke, he can't play and sing at the same time blah blah blah, no he's actually very switched on for his age and playing and singing as good as he was 20 years ago .

So they DID play Miss you. I had to check. Not even youtube cares...Why not The last time, Mother´s little helper and It´s all over now instead? Ten minutes are ten minutes.

After hearing El Mocambo, it is very hard to listen to this stuff. Yes , I know they are approaching 80 years old and can't be expected to sound great like that anymore.And i know if you see them live you get the thrill of seeing them and it sounds better. But why do the guitars sound so weak and unmelodic.Maybe it still sounds great live and you cannot judge them from youtube videos. Ihave to see them again when they come to New York.

Because Keith needs a break after his set.

During “Slipping Away” there are two guys with leaf blowers onstage. WTF.
I used to have a neighbour that would be out on Sunday mornings at 8:00 AM with his leaf blower.
I should have done a Keith and said to him - “Slip Away pal!”
Great show tonight.

They got off easy - Keith could have given them a whack to the head with his guitar, and maybe Ronnie could have joined in the beating also.
Great comment. But they have given so much great music to the world, Ishouldn't complain. Seeing them in person toda is still incredible. Ijust wish the guitar playing sounded betterQuote

Although I'm looking forward to catching them at Hyde Park, I do concur with your view. With the plethora of officially-released live material that we're getting, from a time when they had all their faculties in place, it is hard to then watch these clips and not sigh, somewhat. Just how good they were, way back when. Even the 90's performances are, largely, exceptional: Brixton 1995, Bremen '98, San Jose '99; they were 'on' night-after-night. Time has caught up with them, and that's fine; it was inevitable. Go and see them in the flesh, certainly, but I'm not sure I'd necessarily wish to revisit it afterwards. In my opinion, some of those performances from last year would be borderline impossible to release due to some less-than-competent performances.

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?
just no

I was at the show and noticed this too, some kind of backing tape of the studio guitar riff with the original bass line but in a low volume... noticeable because Keith didn't play the intro on time

Was it heard through the main speakers or only on stage?

Sounds like Pierre hit the wrong fuzz pedal for a second?
Wish he’d left with this sound!
