I think the older versions are better. The song has become to long and drags on. Listen to the opening riff on Hampton the song was rocking. Although DC 1994 the first show when Bobby Keys came out and took the song to another was great too but lately it has gotten old due to hearing it so much. I have never found a Stones concert a bore except in 2005 at UVA when they had the bomb scare I was b

I don't think he would have fit well with the Stones he has a different style of playing more loose and wandering. The Yardbirds cranked out three of the best guitarist ever and Jeff Beck was one of them.I think most would agree with this. Freeway Jam is a great tune!

I do remember the concert in Chicago where it was freezing they were wearing winter coats. Columbia last year was a mess although the rain did stop for the most part by the time the Stones hit the stage. The worst weather of all was when I saw Pink Floyd in Dallas lightening was bouncing off the scaffolding. Although I was at a Grateful Dead concert in DC in 1994 I think it was a fan was st

No blues, no ballad, no Rambler, no choir - What was left looks like it was well performed, but I think what Robert Kraft got for his money was mostly bragging rights. I agree but they did get Street Fighting Man and When the Whip Comes Down. 2

Quoteswiss ---> Who are those people...? Patti Smith...? Donald Trump? Quotezgubi I currently live in Australia but am from the DC area originally. I can't see the Stones and Donald Trump in the same picture. Perhaps Keith would treat him like that guy in Hampton 81 and bash him over the head with a guitar.

The blue shirt I wanted comes womens only which is a bummer. The white shirt with the blue tongue has nothing on the back they could have given us a date or two. Not the most impressive merchandise but the "tour" is not long enough for them to make tons of stuff like the Ole' or Zip Code stuff. The Beerhaus was full of IORR's and some from the other fan club.

I am not far from T Mobile I will walk over late and see if trucks are coming back in. That would be the first sign the show is going on. Everything including the merchandise had to be cleared to make way for Keith Urban tonight. So, the Urban stuff will be going out. If there are trucks coming in that will be a good sign. No trucks not a good sign. Not sure how long it takes to set up all the

QuoteDEmerson Quoteroller99 I'm not suggesting that The Stones would be anything but honest with fans, but I think they would be viewing this as a mixed blessing. Look at how more than half the tickets for Saturday aren't sold yet. Just because there may be seats (or A seat) available in those sections does not mean the entire section is empty! So to say the show is 'half sold&

I have seen Roger Waters many times over the years in both solo tours and when he was with the original Pink Floyd(Animals tour/Wall NYC). Also, I have seen Gilmour both with the original Floyd, Floyd without Waters and solo tours starting with the About Face album in 1984. Roger is definitely lip syncing and it is disturbing but the visuals incorporated into his show blow everyone away. I agr
