QuoteMRAmandaJones I think the question is not the quality of the performance or even the song choices, but : why do they rehearse rare songs since they finaly playd more or less the same "best of" for years ?

I Still think, there was some sort of crisis for him around 2007 (lots of not very pleasent stuff happend in his life around this year, from what I read). I think you're right.

It's difficult to approach certain topics without upsetting anyone, but I have such mixed feelings about the Stones nowadays. I think the person who commented about the nostalgia aspect & the fact that we MUST be close to the 'final curtain' is pretty much right.

Hey Guys. I think it's worth mentioning that the version of 'Hold On Tight' released by DAC was copied from a no-label 2cd, called 'The Original Hold On Tight'. Not only did DAC unnecessarily spread it over 3 discs, but the no-label also sounds MUCH better (if you can find it). Just my 2 cents :-) Also (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong): The VGP

At worst I think they'll perform as well- hopefully better than in 2007 & not ALL of those shows were a disaster. They were inconsistent, with Keith getting most of the blame (rightly so), but even Charlie sounded kind of 'sluggish' towards the end of that tour imo. One thing's for sure- they seem to have rehearsed these shows BIG TIME. Also, Ronnie's made quite a few
