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.
Micks tiny mistake that lasted a few seconds can hardly be described as a car crash. Doublespeak or what.

Usually it's Keith making all the mistakes these days, but even the mighty Mick Jagger is not immune to the occasional blunder.
But Mick has a better way of recovering from it though as if nothing happened, whereas Keith doesn't really care how bad it is..."shit happens"...

The Worst.
A great gig all things considered. The sound was below par on the first 6 songs, but got better after YCAGWYW. Very muddy, too much bass, low guitars. Couldn't hear Keith at all on Tumbling Dice. Maybe it was my position in the golden circle, but I suspect people in the stands had it worse: the massive roof over Main Stand must have created an echo nightmare for many in the nosebleeds. But the sound got better and Keith was LOUD and clear on Honky Tonk Women and for the rest of the show. The crowd was great, especially in the 2nd half with Paint it Black, Start Me Up etc. A rare great moment with You'll Never Walk Alone before the encores.
When all is said and done, the most impressive thing, as usual, is Mick Jagger. The energy, confidence and quality he shows on stage is beyond belief when you think about the fact that he is approaching 80 years of age. He owned the crowd from the moment he entered the stage. There's no one like him in history.

Agreed re the sound. I was on pitch GA to the left. I was trying to enjoy the show but really disappointed and hoping the sound would sort itself and hey presto it did ! The volume definitely increased but it was clear as day and the guitars were ripping through.
Ended up as being my favourite Stones show despite a not great view from GA.

Evil tongues would say: 'tiny t*dger' ....
But seriously: nothing is sticking out - it's an optical illusion. Mick's skin appears in a split at the end of his shirts. Compare it in this picture.

Mick sings, it's a bit more difficult for a guitarist to recover as he is tied in with the band.
Keith said shit happens because his guitar didn't work, not because he doesn't care.

Last doubts I might have had about Sasha Allen just vanished as I saw her getting off on JJF. She seems more like a fan than some fans

The crowd was great and as noted by others above, be wary of judging the whole night by a few YouTube vids. Lots of first timers who literally couldn’t believe what they were witnessing. And the You’ll Never Walk Alone encore serenade - not sure anything like that has happened in the recent past. The respected journos noted how they raised their game to match the crowd reaction from the start. I’ve only seen 5 stars for this tour and they’ve got it right

Anyone have a tape of that, audio or video? Would love to hear it. TY.
That's right, I forgot about that, for a moment I thought she was in some kind of distress but then she got back into it.Quote

From the videos, the crowd did not look as enthusiastic as Spain or Germany. At least early in the show. Maybe the daylight was a downer. It seemed to lack energy.
