Ok.
Dont agree with Brother Lorenz on audience (should have stucked by us).
One one hand my impressions goes in various
directions (more later), on another the crowd was enthusiastic enuff.
I'm sure Kent & Sören will share this note.
I will not comment the warm.-up more than I find it a coward thing to
put up such a boring act. Lucky those who get Toots.
Start Me Up - habile work.
Lets Spend The Night Together - great work, air of the 60s
Oh No, Not you Again - Nice choice. Smokin' piece of sh*t.
All Down The Line - At first we didnt know what to expect. But great.
Love Is Strong - WONDERFUL!!! Jagger on the Go!!! ONe of the highlights!
You Can't Always Get What you Want - Started smokin' but eventually with
less juicy passages. Doubt this is the perfect place for it in the setlist.
Here I will make a note that my non-Stones fan friend bought himself a
Standing tic. He found the first part of the show utter bad; I have
contemplated that opinion much since. Believe it was a little
too much 'inside' passage of the show.. ?
Midnight Rambler - back to highlight again. Gotta be the best
rendition sofar in 2007!! Absolutely @#$%&' smashin'!
I'll Go Crazy - Not too bad but I dont like it.
Tumbling Dice - Really good. As I recall it, Keef made it longer
either by distraction or for fun.
You Got The Silver - halleluyah moment!!!
Wanna Hold You - Not as good as Silver yet still really really good!!
Miss You (to b stage) - Great & fresh & crisp!
It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (b stage) - Alas no good view for me;
but a heavy & stompy piece of rockenrål.
Satisfaction (b stage) - Exstathic crowd!!
Honky Tonk Women (back to main stage) - So/So. Brilliant to some extent.
Sympathy For The Devil - Really really great!!! Amazed how much energy they pumnped in it.
Paint It Black - Along with LIS & Rambler the show's ultimate highlight imho.
Jumpin Jack Flash - A little tiredness could be flashed.
Brown Sugar - Keef mashed it up. He just cant make this intro
anymore. But after that, it smoked like hell & the guys left
the stage with HUGE dignity and after a VERY good job.
I could picture this bein' the best show since Rome. Keef is far out,
technically, at times; but I sense he made one of his best efforts
along this whole leg. Ron was just outstanding, as was Mick: glad
for his excellent harmonica playing!!!!! And both Rambler & LIS!!!
Also found that he at times steppoed out off his macho dancin'
& found his old camp style!
... Charlie was good that night!!
I'm glad I went there. I felt such a strong tenderness for that little, old
dynamite man Mr Watts when they made their sorti from the stage.
Nice moment also seein' Keef & Mick standin' together.
I could also sense its soon time now. I have been lobbyin' for a while that
they ought to skip these mammooth-concept. Keef feels a little like a
circus freak or an animal on a circus-wagon. Let the guy sing. I can, thou,
realize he wants to play himself.
Keef could receive a flow of love & good feelings from the hippie
veteran (yet varied, age-wise) audience.
I believe this was THE event along the B- and the "eastern"-semi leg.
And nice to see ya Lorenz, Lorenz' gf & Björnulf!
Kent & Sohoe were wonderful travelling mates!
Might just post my sons opinions later; but
they were generally very very positive.
