Santa Clara had the run of Far Away Eyes, Like a Rolling Stone, Bite My Head Off, and Mess It Up.

It took me a long time to warm up to the 1981 tour. My first exposure to it was Still Life, which admittedly was not the best document of it in retrospect. I thought the performances were sloppy, choppy and Mick’s vocals were horrible. Then I finally heard the full Hampton Roads which is of course a much better representation and finds the band in top form. For all the talk of his playing i

Now that the Hackney Diamonds U.S. tour has concluded, I think a discussion can be held about the tour's best shows, performances, etc. Qualifiers include set list, performance and playing level, individual songs that stood out, etc. My personal Top 5 would be: 1. MetLife 2 2. Ridgedale 3. Santa Clara 4. Los Angeles 2 5. Chicago 2 Others I really enjoyed include Glendale and Ve

Dan, your efforts and generosity this tour have been absolutely heroic. From the bottom of my heart, and the hearts of everyone here, thank you so much.

You don't speak for Dan. I wouldn't mind someone splitting it though.

Just saw Dead and Company for Fourth of July and it’s really worth it. The sound and visuals are top notch and cannot be experienced in any other venue. I’m not sure if it’s plausible for the Stones, but I’d love to see them there. Hearing Keith’s riff at full volume with that sound quality would be simply stunning. And we may finally get Casino Boogie live!

Thank you for this. Absolutely beautiful, crisp recording of a great show.

I think the Bang tour would have a better reputation if it ended after the Fall '06 leg, which aside from the Beacon leg was maybe the best run of the entire tour. That was the last tour where they seemed intent on regularly pulling out true rarities (She's So Cold, She Was Hot, Sway), daring covers (Mr. Pitiful, Get Up Stand Up, Night Time is the Right Time), and bombastic stage shows

Slipping Away set the template for what people think of in modern times as a Keith ballad.

Street Fighting Man will win. I won’t mind it, hopefully they draw out the ending like they did in 2017.

This is a top three show of the tour for me. MetLife 2 and Hartford being the others.

Wow, the band totally nails covering for Mick’s massive flub on Gimme Shelter.

Thank you! This is easily one of the best recordings of the tour.

That’s not a bad selection.

My theory is that it’s a combo of relative sobriety and maybe practicing more. I think Keith also has adapted well to his limitations and can accurately work on reformatting his timing to fit the current sound. His playing has been a roller coaster since 2016 but we’re definitely on the uphill slope now.
Forum: Tell Me

Keith may keep it simple now on Sympathy, but what he plays sounds really good. I used it to get anxiety attacks listening to modern Sympathy’s. IMO the best post-Steel Wheels version is Glastonbury.

Both guitar players have had to cover for each other over the years. Keith in 1999-03 and Ronnie various times from 2007 to the present day.

Also, we're not quite sure if the narrator is a naive protagonist in a seedy part of London or a much more sinister character playing a part. A truly twisted song.

I love Mixed Emotions, but rhyming ‘butt’ and ‘strut’ is hilariously lazy.

No Brown Sugar is not a surprise? Maybe not anymore, but when 2021 came and it was absent this and other Stones fan boards were definitely in shock that they dropped it. It's been accepted that it's not coming back, but let's not act like it wasn't a surprising change to the status quo. 19NB lasted through all but one 2021 show and most of the 2022 shows til it sadly fell o

I've never liked this song. Maudlin, overwrought, and very generic. I wanna hear the Stones do a song like this like I wanna hear Barry Manilow do Jumping Jack Flash.
