could the on-stage sections see through the icicles?

did Bobby Key's rent a snowmobile,
to transport himself to/from the hotel?

Werent Regina much colder?

I wanna hear it !

I'm worried about Keith... Something's wrong, still.

Still nowhere to be found. Searched YouTube for half an hour now. Nothing is up. RS.com doesn't have it either.

Did you expect it to be up on rs.com a few hours after the show ended? )
It took them about 10 days to upload Dead Flowers from Louisville.

Did the start of "She Was Hot" get delayed a few moments because Ronnie's tounge
was stuck to Charlie's cymbal stand?

To tell you the truth I don't follow what happens on RS.com much. I see that stuff is put up on Virtual Ticket on IORR, and THEN I go there. :-)
So I couldn't really know. 10 days you say? Wow. That's pretty slow I think.

What exactly do ou mean by this statement. I read some reports and did not find any strange.

Great set, and what a nice surprise that they played She was hot!!!

Only 18 songs. Chicago 2005 : 21 songs....

I reckon all Keith needs is a few weeks in Jamaica.
His playing and singing are holding up fine, he's just lacking a bit of energy and mobility in this cold weather maybe. Give the guy a break ;^)

[I'm perfectly healthy but don't do cold too well. I couldn't have played a single bloody note properly in those Chicago & Regina temperatures]

If you spend some time here, you know it would have been disappointing if they didn't play thay one. I thought they'd also play loving Cup.

Sorry I'm no good fan, sorry!

Im so glad they did it...what would have happen here if they didnt?

There MUST be a prize lurking somewhere for writing off these guys for the 1.000.000'th time.... ;-)

mofur-I know a lot of others have written them off before, but I'm not alone when I say Keith has lost it. Read the comments of others who were there last night. I'm sure the cold had something to do with it, but I really believe age has finally got up with Keith. I think it was the accident that caused an accelaration in his aging (or maybe just a catching up). They may very weel tour again in a few years, but would it really be a Stones show if Keith is on a stool or even worse in a wheelchair & hits an occasional chord or two? I standy by my comment, if you want to the REAL STONES one last time, I advise you to do before this tour ends.

As for everyone's questions about the show & specifically SWH,

1). Mick said something about they were going to play a song they've never played live before. I don't recall him saying anything noticeable after. In general, he seemed to talk to the crowd a lot more than usual and almost always had a reference in one way or another as to how cold it was.

2). I didn't record it or time it, but in my mind the song was longer than the studio version.

3). As I recall, they did have the horns involved.

4). From my vantage point, it looked like Mick was keeping a keen eye on the teleprompter through most of the song so he got the words right.

5). There was no noticeable echo do to the empty seats.

6). It's hard to say what the attendance was, there were sections closed off but I would guess there were over 30k there. A few things to keep in mind, when this show went on sale, there was a pretty good chance the WhiteSox would have a playoff game the same night. Also, this was their 4th show in Chicago in a little over a year & it was known for a good 4 days the weather wass going to be terible. All in all, I'd say it wa spretty good turnout. If they had played the UC, it would've been sold out & nobody would be talking about the attendance.

yeah..she was hoooot! that's quite interesting! now you setlist complainers just have to stop it! A BB tour gave us great songs! Keith, since the start of the tour last year, did This place is empty, Infamy, Thru and Thru, The Worst, Happy, Slipping away, Before they make me run, You got the silver, Little t&a...isn't that enough? I'm satisfied!

He hasn't played Thru And Thru this tour. But other than that I agree with you.

Did any one read the reviews over at Shidoobee...man that really sucks. The media reported 26,000 tickets sold...this really Blows. Anyone here think this maybe the Stones Last Tour?


Your Thoughts?


Thanks

A Chicago thread? A last tour thread? Yes, let's discuss.
My vote would be "8 stars" followed by a "maybe".

Yes, I already posted as much in the She Was Hot topic.

I am starting to think this maybe one of the Last Major Tours Based on all the Reports of bad ticket sales and Keith Richards Health.

I know. I was slightly joking.

>now you setlist complainers just have to stop it!<

Of course we'll stop it: our work is now done! ;O)

I know im going to get bashed for complaining, but the setlist are getting shorter. Get ready Beacon, its going to sound something like this:

Ladies and Gentelman.......The Rolling Stones
1. Satifaction
encore Brown Sugar.......Good night, youve been wonderful, se ya next year!!!
get the cash Keith, Lets go

"Is it any wonder that we fuss and fight"

Chicago was wide open and therefore they deserved a short setlist. You get what you pay for.

Why are they booking stadiums in the middle of the winter???

BASH ! BASH! BASH!

had enough ?

No ?

BASH! BASH ! BASH! BAAAASH !
