It's a fun show, worth the time and money spent if you don't take it too seriously. I saw them a few years ago without Perry who'd just had a heart attack. Alice plays Alice mostly strutting around with a fencing sword and Depp plays a rock star acting like he's playing guitar pretty convincingly. The set list is Classic Rock 101.

They filmed the Hard Rock Hotel show last year. They only played 17 songs but did so impeccably. A recording/video would provide a perfect summation of the last two tours (with Jordan).

QuotePaddy Slane 2007 was a bit of a mud bath. Not as bad as Alpine Valley in 1989. Chicago 2006 was cold but not below freezing. It just seemed like it. Washington DC, opening night in '94. Steamy temps were still in the upper 80s(F) when it ended.

In recent years every city has gotten a song unique to that city within the tour. I saw them do "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" in Detroit and "Harlem Shuffle" in Newark for example. It's a nice way to placate the ardent fans while giving everyone else the 16 warhorses they paid for.

Ticketmaster DID NOT create "dynamic pricing" out of whole cloth and simply decide to foist it on an unsuspecting world. Artists and promoters have long been in search of a method to defeat scalpers and ultimately, unable to beat them they decided to join them. The logic is irrefutable: if people are going to pay scalpers big money why shouldn't the artists and promoters i.e. THE R

LOL. The only time I ever saw a Stones show shortened for weather was Chicago '06 when the temperature was in the range of 7 degrees Celsius and Mick complained he "couldn't feel his feet." Opening night in DC in '94 was likewise brutally hot with a healthy dose of humidity added to the mix. They played 27 songs however.

Standing, nosebleeds and lawn seats. LiveNation does this every year though it used to be $20. They gave up being in the music business ages ago and now make their money from fees and their cuts of the parking, beer and snacks - all money the bands can't touch. Presenting music is merely a means to that end and requires maximum attendees.

As brilliant as "Miss You" was originally it's become the hit the restroom/buy another beer/break song in concert in recent years. It just plods and seeing Ron and Keith "taking a break," seated on the drum riser is irksome especially given the cost of tickets. They should be tearing the p-ss out of "Miss You" but these days it's filler.
