I was at both shows through luck, good contacts, and pulling out all stops in traveling from Philadelphia to Amsterdam 24 hours before the first show. Over the years, I've come to realize that those are among the best Stones shows I've ever seen, including MSG 1972 and Hampton 1981. HBK

I saw 14 shows in the US, starting with the 2 openers in Philadelphia and ending with both Hampton,VA shows. The first shows were fairly rough, but fun with some unusual set lists. They improved steadily and were very much locked-in tight by the time they hit NYC and were masterful IMO in Hampton with some extended jamming like on Just My Imagination. We've all seen the Hampton pay-per-vi

A friend reported that a trusted source relayed that there will be no more big tours. Instead probably some one-off performances like at festivals or maybe a residency. He noted that there was no reason given (everyone is healthy) and many in the touring band/support were quite disappointed when the news broke. That's it. No other news or speculation. Take it as a point in time from one

Maybe this subject header should be retitled to something like "Stones Live in the 1990s" since it has evolved into more than a discussion of the 10 Spot show and may be worth continuing with more POVs and insights. HBK

I think they might have peaked with the No Security tour coming back to arenas after 18 months on the road. HBK

I was there that night. You can read my review from the old IORR magazine. It's a little overdone, but we were all younger then and less jaded. HouseBoyKnows

Both Amsterdam Paradiso shows May 1995. Setlists, venue, band performance; all among the best ever. Many thanks to those who helped me get from Philadelphia to Amsterdam with advance notice and obtain tickets. HBK

I was lucky to attend this show, being in the right place at the right time (in London on business). I was near the front and remember it being so tight I could lift up my feet and not fall over. I recall the great setlist of course. But, having recently attended 6 No Security shows, I also think it was a fairly sloppy loose performance and that Ronnie appeared drunk. Still I look forward to t

Yep Video James Karnbach wrote the text. Keep in mind that the next tour was not until 1989 and, for fans in the 80's, it really felt like the LAST TOUR for 7 years. I was at the Hampton '81 shows and for me it was an 8 year gap until Toad's Place. HBK

I was in London on business that week and able to attend the SBE show. Also enjoyed Cheryl Crow opening and joining the band for HTW. The next day I had to leave so no Wembley shows for me. But, earlier that Spring I did catch 6 No Security shows. SBE was quite loose and ragged at times compared to NS when they were in top form. HBK

I always loved the way all 3 - Mick, Ron, Keith - came to front of the stage together at the end of the tune to jam out in a great ferocious climax. I think they could do that now with all 3 guitars on Angry. HBK

Philadelphia is up there in the ranks. We loved it when they opened both the 1981 and 1989 tours here. Later we were one of the cities that got the full stadium, arena, theater triad during Licks. Include Atlantic City which is really South Jersey/Philly territory on the south side of the Hoagie line. Above the Hoagie line is the North Jersey/New York territory where a Hoagie is a Sub and th

Yo Glimmerman! I always wondered what your show count was. I'm at 103 since MSG 1972, several with you. So far I'm doing both NJ shows and Philly for this tour. I imagine you are there for Vegas. Have a blast. Say Hi to BV for me. HBK

And who remembers they did 2 shows on July 25, 1972 at MSG? I hung around outside the arena during the afternoon matinee show (heard nothing) and attended the evening show later that day. I was 18 and it was my first ever Stones concert. HBK
