As Charlie once said (on"25 X 5" Documentary, parhaps ?), he thought that the whole party would be over after six months... But it lasts for 60 years... That's amazing!

"to compare pre and post 1989 setlists in terms of variety is not a very strong argument for obvious reasons." Fine, maumau... According the statisics I just saw, on the entire B2B Tour (97 gigs) they played 62 different songs. And in 1997-98 they were performing 21 - 23 songs on each show, not 19. Make the comparisons.

Yes GJV, in 1978 they were playing 6 or 7 tracks (and 8 maybe, on some nights) from "Some Girls". And many fans were complaining for that, then, considering the tour as "just for promotion tour"... As we know, in every era "Stonesland" includes different complaints and different points of criticism...
Forum: Tell Me

Speaking about variety of setlists: If I estimate correctly, after 8 gigs they have performed 35 different songs. Two more than the total number of the entire 1978 tour (25 concerts)- just an example from the so called "glory years", as a yardstick...

"Be careful, the sound is only good if the version is awesome. If the version is even the slightest bit critical, the sound is not good enough to judge." Sorry to say that, powerage 78, but I 'm afraid that your sense of humour becomes obsessed and a bit tiresome. And no, I don't believe that every new Stones gig is "the best ever" (to prevent your ironic obsess

Honestly, I can't understand those who say that the version of YGMR was weak... It was a very strong and energetic version.
Forum: Tell Me

All of us have our own personal preferences ("this song is better than the other", etc), but the fact is that the Stones played twice in the same city/venue and they probably wanted to "offer" some changes. They did it. PS: Bjorn, we totally agree on the issue "Dylan"...

Pop song ?? The Stones did this ?? I don't think so...

Bjorn wrote: "LARS - not too shabby! They do it 10 000 times better than Dylan, these days..." Not only "these days", IMO... Since the 90s I consider the Stones version as 100 times better than any Bob's live nerveless "meow"... Bob is the greatest poet in the rock history, but I never liked him as live act.

I wish I was in London, today... But I "met" Covid - 19 in Milan (before the gig? During it ? After it? Who knows...), so I can't... Have a great time, folks!!

The intro of CYHMK "is messed up" ??? Come on... I hear the right notes, from intro's start to intro's end...

I wasn't there, but judging by clips it sounds like another strong gig. A particular question, for folks who discovered Keith's "@#$%& Up" (I don't know how many) on CYHMK: would you like to post any song's clip you consider as the clearest and to check the time of those "@#$%& up"? Just curious...

Just arrived in Athens, Creece. A bit tired, but very happy. Happy for the charming, energetic gig (no surprise, of course). Happy for the crowd and for the whole atmosphere. And happy, because a dream came true: Finally, I heard "Dead Flowers". live! I love this song, I consider it as one of the 3-4 best country - rock songs ever... PS: The audience was clearly bigger and more pass

Thanks liddas, I thought it was red, not orange... See you there, I'll be in Milan tomorrow morning...

I mean, according to the official map, the stage rises opposite of Anello Rosso. According the photos, Anello Rosso is behind the stage.
Forum: Tell Me

As I see (photos), the stage rises on the opposite side, considering it's location in 2006 but also considering the maps of this gig. Am I wrong ?

I... met "Con Le Mie Lacrime" twice in Italy. Great song of course and very touching version for Italian fans , but I wish we' ll hear someting different (as "unusual" song) tomorrow. No big deal, in any case... No song vote yet?

"How can they be sure that Milan is a "go" unless Mick is already negative and feeling zero symptoms ? At this point it's just "hoping for the best" really, they can always say later "unfortunately, blah, blah, blah..."

In 2006 Milan was the first gig of the re- sheduled tour (after Keith's accident). In 2022 Milan will be a new kind of restart... Probably Mick is feeling well. Be carefull all of you, boys...

I wish Mick the best. Sorry for fans travelling in from the whole world. Sorry for fans who already bought air tickets for Bern. If Milan's gig will be posponed too, I 'm among the unlucky people. I have my air ticket in my pocket. My plan was to stay in Milan for 1,5 day, just for the concert... But what can we do?

Same experience here, Michael... I know many, many people beeing enthousiastic with the Stones, after having seen them (their first time) in 2014, 2017, 2018, not in 1973 or 1989... I can't wait for Milan's gig...

"There were quite a few young people near me (teenagers and twenty-somethings) who were loving the show and were blown away. Mick was just fantastic - really focussed and really seemed to be enjoying himself. Yes there was a bit of confusion during Street Fighting Man but it wasn’t serious (I have heard bootlegs from the 70s and from 1981/82 with far more serious mistakes),..." Exa
