I think they could visit cities like Porto (last time they played there was 2006), Bilbao (2003) or San Sebastian (2007). A few cities in East Europe plus some in big markets,like Germany, France, Italy, where there is always demand. Let's see...

"No. Go back and watch the December 2012 PPV. He barely moves, and he looks scared poopless". 24FPS, talking about clear exaggeration, I don't mean your description as for his situation in December 2012. I mean your claim (if I understood it correctly) that Keith is slightly better now, compared to the picture you have discribed. IMO he is clearly better these days.

We have to live knowing that a kind of “opening riffs” syndrome is capturing Keith, from time to time. In the last years the intro of SMU (as opening song) have been "victim". In 2003 the intro of "Brown Sugar" (also opener, then)

YCAGWYW is one of the 10 - 15 best Stones songs, IMO. It's a classic song for sure. An rock anthem, I would say. But here some folks are calling it "boring"... What can I say? In Edinburgh I validated, once again, that the songs which make the audiences absolutely enthusiastic are ALL included in the "black list" of some IORRians. The "please, drop these" li

Back in home,now... Solid gig, with many excellent parts and showstopping moments, which can not be overshadowed by a few mistakes, of course. Great audience. I suppose that the particular level of enthusiasm is the higher you can live in the whole North Europe (South is another issue). And an AMAZING city, with nicest people, of course. More later. And maybe a complete review, if I can be in

I just believe that they could play "Dead Flowers" every gig (or almost), until the end of the current tour. It works very well live IMO. And I think it's one of the 3-4 best country - rock songs, ever written.

With respect, LeonidP, but I would consider as ridiculous the idea of a Stones gig without JJF, HTW and "Satisfaction"...

Sicilian, tempo was not slow. And the fact that you are done with the Stones concerts, as you would like different songs, doesn't make the gigs "average at best". These two are different issues. Obviously, your opinion/feelings as for the first is affecting what you claim as for the second one. Every one is entitled on his/her opinion, of course. But how do you explain that the

bitusa2012 wrote: "Keith has NO idea how SMU starts anymore....2 bum notes in the first 5!" It has not to do with a particular intro, IMO. Simply, sometimes Keith is (and was) nervous at the start of gigs, regardless of the song. Remember, in 2003 he "abused" Brown Sugar's intro, at least on 4 different nights. Same with UMT intro, in 1981. No big deal to me.
