Quote24FPS Bottom line is that the best post-Wyman tour is No Security, hands down. And yes, I was there. As I was for VoodooBridgesLicksABiggerBang. This band doesn't compare to the '99 band. It's been a gradual slide since then. Still prefer all of those to Steel Wheels, and I don't see a gradual decline - maybe only in Keith's playing.

(10 to 20 minutes sometimes when they got rioted!) They got longer in 69 but still didn't really get long until 75. Has anyone ever bothered computing their onstage time for each tour? I could be

QuoteDonkey Girl Scout I thought it was great! not the best i've seem (id give that to Baltimore 2006), but it was the best sounding. Louder than expected and you could hear Keith and Ronnie really well. Hurray for A Bigger Bang! That tour is in danger now of being misremembered when actually most of it was great.

QuotestonessteinWhen I close my eyes and smell the Rolling Stones and hear their beat running through my blood and veins, it is Live With Me from YaYas, Let It Rock from Leeds, Rocks Off, Shelter, Rip This Joint, or Flash from 72 or that Rambler, HTW or Brown Sugar from Brussels that come to mind.

QuotestonessteinThe point is that the playing, if not the vibe, of these 2012-2013 shows well exceeds many of the tours now romanticized. Good point about romanticizing previous tours, but let's not over-romanticize this one either. I think it would be inaccurate to say the playing by all has been better than on recent tours - it depends on the show, song, etc., on this tour, and on the pr

Quote24FPS Bill is the most English of all of them isn't he? Interesting that Mick and he did this together. I think they used to have more of a relationship than they do now, obviously. Also, Mick might have felt like rewarding him for being the only stable member of the band at that point. This might have been during Charlie's heroin phase, Ronnie's crackpipe dreams in Hollywood,

QuotestoneheartedI, too, have the "Live In Hawaii" 1966 live set that TimeIs referenced above. Mick was obviously just joking around at that show. He almost turned out to be right. 3 years in the 60s (Aftermath - Let It Bleed, Revolver - Abbey Road) is the equivalent of 30 years of development now.

Who are the retards who keep voting for Dead Flowers? (Did the same in Montreal.) They play this song every tour, basically. Have a hard time believing that this was the fans' choice that just happened to be the song that they rehearsed with Brad Paisley (which was the obvious song to do with him).

I've said elsewhere after attending this show that I don't think this tour is the best ever. I saw the Stones in 05, early '06 as well, and they were tighter than they are now - contrary to what some folks are saying on here that they are playing better than since Licks, Babylon, Voodoo, etc. I think Keith IS diminished - to a degree.

For a different angle.

A number of us who were at the concert have already to this inept review on the Montreal show tread. Richards — stooped and slow-moving, looking like Yoda in a fright wig — is clearly more comfortable now with the ragged Chuck Berry riffs he injects into It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll than with his spotlight introductions to Gimme Shelter and Paint It, Black, both of which he barely managed.
