Hi Doug!

It was great meeting you in London!

I think she had three at the show (YGTS, SV, LT&A). Alas, after napping in the parking lot for half of the 2 hours it took for it to clear out and getting home at 2:30 or so, we were both spent! At least she got hers during the show

It was a phenomenal show.

Some comments:

-Meg, we made it on time!

-I don't think PIB is a great choice for an opener. It didn't seem to generate the energy that an opener should. I'm not complaining, though.

-I REALLY dug the change-up from the UK shows that I saw. I would have been extremely disappointed if they hadn't done something.

-I knew we were in for something different when Mick strapped on an acoustic right before SV. Cindy & I both looked at each other and screemed "Sweet Virginia!" as the first notes were strummed. We did the same with MM, YGTS, LT&A, and SOL (JK Tod - though I did take your cue and sing quite loudly).

-Right towards the end of YGTS, Keith said, "I love you, babe". I presume that Patti was down front during it. I thought it was touching (I am an old softy if you get right down to it). There's a softball for you to all take a swing at!

-Intros: Keith & Charlie both got phenomenal applause, especially Keith. I'm guessing maybe a minute or so of clapping & chanting of "Keith, Keith, Keith". Charlie got the chanting too. I love the way Ronnie acts during his intro. Why does Chuck have to prance out on his tiptoes like he's sneaking up on somebody?! I hate that. I didn't see it, but Cindy said he had a big penis on his shirt.

-I'm falling for Lisa Fisher. I'm glad they left TD in.

-I really dig the current version of SFTD. I've written about it before so I won't go into it again.

-I was really blown away with the change-up in the setlist. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the fact that the 4 UK shows that I saw were my only experiences. They probably could have played anything different and I would have been psyched. However, the fact that they played songs that I NEVER would have expected (esp. SV, MM, and YGTS) and that I REALLY like, made it that much better.

-Midnight Rambler was AWESOME! It totally rocked.

-I'm glad they left Sway in. The song is one of my faves,but I'll say it again, I don't love the way that Mick sings certain lines in the current live version. I also can't help but to unfairly compare Ronnie's solo to MT's as he's playing.

-As stated on this board many times before, traffic & parking is an absolute nightmare at that stadium. For those that don't know, Gillette stadium is actually about 30 miles or so south of Boston and sits along a 4 lane road (2 each direction). Ridiculous!!!! That btw is my ONLY complaint (other than Chucks prancing!)

-The stadium had fewer empty seats than I had expected (papered or not).

-I'm amazed at Mick's energy everytime I see him. The old man is amazing!

-No beard for Keith, as some had hoped (including myself), but he did appear to have a bit of a tan.

-Oh yeah, I almost forgot about UMT, another of my classic faves!!! I was psyched to hear that, though the intro made it nearly unrecognizable at first(at least to me).

-They should have a separate section for 13 - 16 year olds who only want to be there to socialize and play with their cell phones and chit chat all night.

-The couple in front of us who were TOTALLY making out for the duration of (I can't remember the song - MR, maybe???) should have gotten a room!


All in all, a phenomenal show. I hope that all that were there feel the same. (If they don't, its sad to say that they may have become so critical of the boys that they just can't enjoy them anymore, no matter what or how they play). I'm still a bit green, so it's all great to me.

I also hope that those that are attending remaining shows on this leg of the tour enjoy their shows as much as I enjoyed this one.

Peace out!

Was there any official recognition on the part of the band that the tour has been renamed to the LET IT BLEED tour? I'm certain they are no longer dubbing it the Bigger Bang tour, inasmuch as they are "bleeding" twice as much as they are "banging."

Nice review WMiller!

Thanks Erik. I was thinking about you and all the great folks we met a month back in the UK during the show last night.

"All" of us?

Well, I didn't want to say it, but, no Tod, not you

Of course I meant all of you!

Hey Virgil,

I just read your review on the tour page. Nice job. I saw that you snuck up to 112, row 8. I was 112, row 6! Funny coincidence. Great seats eh?

WMiller, you should post your review to the tour page.

You're not taking orders from her, are you? I want to see a little show of resistance and restraint here....

"I will be sending it off momentarily", he says, head tilted down, as if ashamed.

truly disappointed. I was really hoping the right man was wearing the pants here....

That's right, all it takes is a little T&A. Even medium sized T&A will do.

how about a medium T and a little A?

OK, OK Mr. Miller after all your lathering, ranting, raving, peeing (or was that someone else?), and the rest of you --

DID ANY OF YOU EVEN ONCE BEHOLD THE PLEXIGLASS?? AND IF SO, WHAT DID YOU EXPERIENCE??

Tim - You'll have to help me out, as I don't know what you mean.

Thanks for the picture, ohno (page 1 of this thread), but I think that's the wrong end of the bull. That's where the bullspit comes out.

Read back through this post and you will see all the discussion of what has now become the Sacred Plexiglass.

tim

Man, another lack of respect from the Plexiglass. I mean, the Sacred Plexiglass.

Lack of respect of the Plexiglass.
And, great review there WMiller.

Oh! That Plexiglass.

From where I was last night, though the seats were good, alas, I didn't lay my eyes upon the almighty Plexiglass. I was tempted at one point to ask the kid next to me if I could borrow his binoculars. However, I was enjoying each surprise so much, I tempted fate and rejected the calling of the siren.

I did get a glimpse of the plexiglass at two other shows I've been to, and must admit that it is a deflating moment to see the list before the songs are played. I prefer the suspense of not knowing what's coming up.

A plea to all....Don't gaze upon the Plexiglass. You'll only regret it. May the almighty Plexiglass burn in hell!!!

killjoy. i suppose you were one of those annoying kids that waited patiently until xmas morning to see what santa brought, too? We used to grab him by the collar on his way out of the chimney and tie him up while we checked what was in the bag....

Ahhh, WMiller, you have a HEART OF PLEXIGLASS.....

Funny you should mention that. One Christmas we were visiting my stepfather's family in NC. He had a nephew Scott. Before we left for the trip, I was snooping around and found an unwrapped GI Joe action figure that I didn't have (don't recall which one) with a piece of paper taped to it with Scott written on it.

Boy was I bummed out when I saw the MFer Scott opening the GI Joe that I thought was going to be mine.

I guess that lesson has stuck with me to some degree.

Man WMiller
I give you props and you speak in vain of the Plexiglass.May the Plexiglass burn in hell. I won't hear of this blasphemy, after what the Almighty Plexiglass rendered us last night.
Wow.
