I've seen multiple shows on every tour since 1975 and I have NEVER seen Ronnie play like he did a couple weeks back in Pittsburgh. I hope he's still on fire this Wednesday in Detroit. His playing is really ferocious and he doesn't seem to get lost or peter out all together like he has especially in the last fifteen years.

Highlights of Pittsburgh '15, my 33rd Stones show since Cleveland '75 (forty years and six days earlier): Drove six hours on Friday with my 19 and 18 year old sons. In Pittsburgh we met up with a high school chum who the elder son is named for. Went to Il Pizzaolo in Market Square for a fantastic Italian dinner on Friday evening. Who do I see on the patio nibbling antipasto but Be

"Some Girls" from Atlanta '15 was a rare Mick train wreck. The teleprompter must have been on the fritz and he couldn't find the key to save his life until Lisa and Bernard came in.

They're never coming back. Not like this and not to flyover country markets. We may see special occasion shows in NYC or LA but I'm guessing that's it. We like to think of the Stones as invincible but time is no longer on their side.

It was ten bucks cheaper than Hot Rocks with more songs and a wider array of time periods. Perhaps someone in the ABKCO didn't want the continued competition. Be that as it may, GRRR! pretty much replaced 40 Licks.

Kid Rock came along at a time when Michigan needed all the pride and confidence it could get. His act is 100% fun and just because he happens to wave the American flag rather than fashionably spit on it does not make him scum. There are dozens of private and public charities and social causes around Motown that he has generously endowed and not always publicly. Four times he has sold out the same

Typically these shirts have only come in LARGE. Apparently somebody finally did their market research for the Stones customer as opposed to, say, In The Moment and realized a larger average size is called for. Still, it will be one of those stretchy, thin mystery cloth shirts that will barely qualify as an XL. That's how they fit them in the box.

Keith and Ronnie should sing "You Gotta Move" as Keith's second song. That would cover another Sticky Fingers track and be more welcome than "Can't Be Seen With You" for example.
