On Saturday Blink-182 used the big jumbotron and hung speakers off it so the people stuck way up high could at least have a decent experience. Though one of the members has season tickets there and already knows the place isn't really suitable for music. For as much as those tickets cost, Stones should have done the same. Thanks for the money, suckers. But a few people I know bought really cheap upstairs and got upgraded from 500 to 100.
The side views even at 300 just ain't bad. The speakers were pointed right at us even if we were a bit high. Section wasn't crowed and mainly filled with Lucky Dippers who were super chill, except for a family / group of 7, 3 generations, from Riverside who filled in the row in front of us right before lights out, probably last minute buyers. The kid (maybe ten) was totally rocking out to Rambler while wearing a new T-shirt.
I woulda moved but it was my girlfriend's first show and we are used to crummy / mid-range seats and she could enjoy it without worrying about the tap on the shoulder. I bought her just released Foo Fighters tickets between bands so during Wild Horses I leaned over and mouthed "the things you wanted I bought them for you."
Exact same ballads as the last SoFi show in 2021! Which ain't bad really just kinda odd when once upon a time they mighta shook it up a little bit. Maybe we will get Angie or a wild card Saturday or maybe it will be the same.
Her cousins who we rode with were first timers and really enjoyed the show and were raving afterward too.
But I was happy I could hear pretty decently as both of us pretty much swore off concerts at the stadium a while back. And if it ain't Charlie on drums it doesn't really feel like obstructed view.

Glad you liked that mix! I may do an audio release of this show but it might an...unconventional mix.

Interesting how stiff and harsh Start Me Up sounds nowadays, I do like the rough sound of it in some way. Still very different from a few years ago when it had a more of energetic swing to it:

Yep. I tossed up a quick mix of midnight rambler on my soundcloud but still playing with files. Last night's show was well covered and I wouldn't be surprised if one taper releases full recording (but never know!)
EDIT: Shameless plug for my soundcloud:
[soundcloud.com]
It was dialed in on my earbuds (which are still pretty decent) while pretty sleepy at 230AM after the show (so I was not pretty decent), so bass balance and such might be off.

It's mostly because Jordan is playing it closer to the studio version than Charlie ever did. Charlie had the two kick beat thumping live where as the studio - and Jordan - versions are 4 on the floor.
And there's a tad bit less dexterity involved regarding the string section now.

I don't know about how others feel but the pit was packed at this show.
Felt more crowded than Houston and Vegas. But it’s also an issue of who’s within a five foot radius of you. Can become a real drag.
Regular price pit tickets were on Ticketmaster all afternoon…

I don't think it's the complete show, T&A has been edited out.

These Stones shows are at such a high standard from Mick, Keith and Ronnie, I find the lack of interest in these page's surprising, i don't think this new album has struck a cord with most diehards from iorr.
Yeah we get the noisy few ( children who think the Stones are all about rockers) who make HD more than it is, but apart from SSOH and Tell Me Straight could it be the new material is substandard to many ( adults ) life long fans, especially when sang live.
It's all very well having an album of rockers, but they've got to be good, they need to work live to interest people enough to get excited and comment.
Go back a few albums to Voodoo Lounge, when they played new tracks like Love Is Strong, YGMR, Sparks Will Fly, I Go Wild, The Worst, Thru And Thru, Out Of Tears, these at the time new songs instantly resonated with the audiences , real substance that left a lasting memory.
