Back on topic, I liked the unusual show opener of 'Not Fade Away', used throughout the Voodoo Lounge Tour, and the way they played it.

QuoteHouseBoyKnows I was there for both shows with a contingent of Philly area friends. They really were great shows. Molly Hatchet was the opener. The sound was fantastic if you were within the first third of the floor from the stage, but anything further out was subject to the horrible cavernous stadium echo. It was a real party weekend during the Thanksgiving break. Driving back to Phil

QuoteBastion Leave us geordies alone I actually like you Geordies, most especially your humour The ones I refer to were impeccably behaved. The idiots causing trouble came from elsewhere (my home town I'm told - their accents sounded about right). Newcastle being so close to Edinburgh means that lots of you probably come North for gigs. IIRC the Stones haven't done Newcastle sin

Quotegeordiestone It looked to be kicking off big time down the front that night, was a great show though. It most certainly did geordiestone! A wild-eyed bunch of mostly lads pushed their way up front at the last minute, intimidating those around them. They were guzzling vodka and popping pills. They were like the Cast from Trainspotting. I've since heard they came from Hamilton, my home

Just fantastic. With that buildup, it gives a great impression of what it must have been like to be there. Any IORRians at this show ?

Quotebuttons67 they started with jj flash at murrayfield in 1999, was a great start to the show. It certainly was. I was there, right up front. There was no front of stage and security was rubbish with bottles and cans getting in and rolling about on the floor as the most mental Stones crowd I've ever been in (18 shows) leapt around.

And didn't the song sounded so damn great when they re-introduced it in STEEL WHEELS tour after so many many years? Almost brought a tear to this fan's eye...

QuoteCousinC I remember in the 90's two promoters going bankrupt after doing The Stones. Really CousinC ? Which Promoters were they ? I saw the band 8 times in the 90s, spread across Urban Jungle, Voodoo Lounge & Bridges Tours. These were the last tours in which stadium ticket prices were reasonable (£25 - £30) before they flew right off the scale from Licks onwards.

Mick, The greatest frontman of them all and giver of so much enjoyment to all of your fans over 5 decades. With all flaws, expensive tickets, set list moans and all we still love you.

Thanks for all your anecdotes and responses to this - my personal pick has to be Green Lady's 'Harmonica Man'. Blimey, that would drive me absolutely insane! How did he last so long ? I'm surprised no-one took it off him. Overall I thought security & general organisation of both events was absolutely abysmal. They seemed to have a policy of letting anyone misbehavin
