I mean, 78 is not that old. Sounds more like you're talking about 98 than 78.

Keith totally messed up at 3:18. Hope they will change to a different opening song they can nail every time.
Oh dear looks like Keith started early this year.

"There were quite a few young people near me (teenagers and twenty-somethings) who were loving the show and were blown away. Mick was just fantastic - really focussed and really seemed to be enjoying himself. Yes there was a bit of confusion during Street Fighting Man but it wasn’t serious (I have heard bootlegs from the 70s and from 1981/82 with far more serious mistakes),..."
Exactly, John Lomax... 1978 tour (a very energetic and unstable, at the same time, tour) included many mistakes and moments of sloppines. During 1981/82, we had some botched intros of the opening song (UMT). Same happened on 2003, with "Brown Sugar" (the worst of them, perhaps in Stade De France). Noone was considering those weak moments as "disasters". But nowadys , many fans seem to show a kind of anxiety. What anxiety? As for the time which is rolling, I guess... Three missing notes, a "minimalistic" intro of "Gimme Shelter" (Munich), even a sound problem (a technical one, maybe) can drive some people to conclusions, obviously incompatible with the overall level of any gig.
I'm judging by clips and videos so far (Milan 'll be my fisrt and last gig of the tour, I wish I had time for more). Judging by them, the energy is still here and the band sounds as good, as the last time I attended them (2018). The band remains really good, without considering their age. Considering this factor, that's nothing more than phenomenal. More personal conclusions, after Milan's gig...

Mistakes in live concerts are relative for me. Mistakes every few songs becomes irritating but a big gaffe or even 2 per show adds to the enjoyment. A reminder that talented but flawed humans are putting on a live show!

I was at the Munich show and I completely agree with you.
It was my 26th show and it's one of the best, I've seen. I talked to several people after the show and they were all enthousiastic. One guy ssid, he has seen 200 shows of many bands and this Stones gig was the best of them.
Of course it was an experience of freedom and joy being togwther with so many people and have a real good time together sfter two years of lockdown.
It was just fantastic. Go and check it out!

Anyone else notice that 19th Nervous Breakdown was a car crash last night? Mick began singing a verse while Keith and Ronnie were still playing the middle 8.
