My experience is that your own mood at the show and the atmosphere in the audience makes more of a difference than the playing of the band. Therefore I think it is not that easy to objectively rate shows. From the videos my expression was that the New Jersey shows had the highest energy, also because of the audience.

On the last thread there was a discussion on why people don't post much on those concerts threads anymore. I'd say because there's not much to complain about anymore. If we're honest, those theads have always been a collection of the same complains over and over again. Now they're: - Changing up the setlist A LOT (6 songs that have not been played on the previous show

I've always used off-the-shelves earplugs for around 20 to 50 Euros, tried several brands including Alpine Music Safe, Etymotic, Earasers but was never satisfied.

Quotegotdablouse Right, if you're at a loud concert where people complain at the end and you're fine, it's probably too late to be worrying about it ! The loudest I've ever witnessed was definitely the Stones at the Trabendo, it was ridiculously loud. I saw Brad there too a year later and it was almost just as bad. Recently The Black Crowes at the Olympia was crazy loud too

Quotebam By the way, I thought I’d never get over Charlie being gone from the stage. While I still miss and mourn Charlie, IMHO Steve Jordan allows them to play faster tempos than they were playing for much of the past decade. That put an extra kick into many of the songs. I agree. Steve grew a lot on me during this and the last tour.

Before Charlie passed Pit B was always worse since Charlie had a cymbal in front of his face that obstructed the view from many positions. Steve doesn't have a cymbal on Keiths side so it might actually the better place now since Pit A has the camera crane.

Keep in mind that Steve Jordan as a replacement was already announced when Charlie was still alive. Although at that time he was just the replacement for one tour -until Charlie would be well again. If Chrlie had survived and the Stones had already done one tour without him he might have suggested them to just go on like that if he didn't want to do it anymore.

The way Mick's voice sounds to you says nothing about the way his voice feels to him during singing. If your voice is not 100 percent singing might feel more difficult and take more energy - however a professional singer that has a good technique (as Mick has nowdays) can compensate it in a way that might not sound all too different.

There is most probably a reason that Mick ditched some of the songs that are harder to sing and gave Keith a third song. His voice might not be 100 percent at the moment and that determines what songs are being played.
