This is true but,one or two surprises in between the big warhorses would work.Examples are Rip This Joint in '75,2000 Light Years From Home in '89/'90,and Can't You Hear Me Knocking wasn't far from the end of some Licks tour shows.Monkey Man was in the last section of the 1994 and early 1995 shows,the first tour it was played on.I think that Moonlight Mile followed by JJF,Brown Sugar or Satisfaction would work where YCAGWYW was earlier on this tour.

Hey Cindy we must have at least seen each other without knowing it. I could not believe how the next section was so empty they were great seats. Im glad you were there to see this show. Every member on this board deserves a setlist like that. What was the price for the 112 seats.

Theres an absolutely filthy and stomach churning double entendre in there screaming to get out, but I'm resisting the urge...

Was Monkey Man really the best choice for this show after it had already been played there four times (as recently as 2002 Gillette Stadium and 2003 Boston) in the past twelve (give or take a few weeks) years?

I know, I spotted that earlier but resisted the urge as well. I swear he put that in there to tempt us. And why not, cause as I type this it's 1:00 AM and I've had a few adult beverages. Let's see, so many ways to go with this ...

My ex-girlfriend told me it was impossible to bleed and bang at the same time, so for two or three days every month we just sat around discussing our feelings. Oh well, at least I saved money on new sheets.

PartyDoll Meg,

From yer pal in Ohio...
sounds like...angee...::waving::

WMiller, excellent review...loved your comments too, CindyC.
Um, were you two sitting together? Hehe.

Actually, it's possible to bang and bleed at the same ... oh, never mind

I've a question for those who attended the show. Do you remember what song they were playing where Mick was standing in front of Keith as he was playing, jabbing his fist and repeating “Hit it! Hit it! Hit it” over and over?

I thought that was a pretty cool interaction between the two (eventhough it mostly one-way). It seemed to last for around 10 to 15 seconds or so. It's probably about the most you’ll get between them these days, right? No interaction between them during the UK shows left a lasting image in my mind.

I also like the little chest bump that Mick gave Ronnie during Sway. You can see it in the YouTube video that Liddas posted earlier.

I wasn't there, so I have no idea why I'm answering, but I'll guess Satisfaction.
