uncool2pillow Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Mick Jagger is a singular phenomenon. Damn! Not sure what was going on with some miscommunications about setlist or other issues. Keith disappeared briefly early on and that kind of freaked me out. Highlight was definitely Monkey Man. One of my favorite (slightly) deep cuts. I'm very glad I went and had a good time with friends. Having said that, I'd follow McCartney on tour (or at least 5-10 more shows) if I had unlimited funds. Can't say the same about the Stones. What'd you think about night 2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 i really like that they changed a third of the set list. bodes well for the tour. nice to be surprised at a big show like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 How did you enjoy the Stones?They did Play with Fire I’m jealous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Another great crowd around me in the GA section - this time I was right near the rail and in front of the speaker serving the back of the bowl, so no echo. I was happy to get 7 or so different tune's, too. Bitch and Sweet Virginia were probably the stand outs from the previous concert. I thought Street Fighting Man was a better opener on Friday, but I am glad I saw Jumping Jack Flash, too. Play with Fire was nice to hear, but it seem a bit emotionless and rote. I enjoyed the Friday's Angie/Dead Flowers combo better. Also, even though I am of big fan of Slipping Away, I enjoyed Keith's Friday's combo slot more.I thought I never needed to see IORR again, but I enjoyed seeing that, too. The Paint it Black / Midnight Rambler snafu was a bit funny (the band played about a minute of Rambler, before Jagger realized that they skipped over PiB - it was mess, considering Wood and Richards had their guitars for PiB, so it way out key) and I thought Wood really shined when they finally got to Rambler. They didn't play a blues tune on Friday, so I was happy when they played Ride 'em on Down Overall, I thought both nights were great and better than I was expecting, actually. Keith definitely played better on Tuesday, Jagger and Wood are both singing and playing very well and Watts, at 78, is playing strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Seeing them on Wednesday for the first time in 17 years. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 the elephant in the room is that this is probably the last chance most of us will have to see them. everything seems a bit more inspired this tour. i'm pretty jaded but am excited for this show (august 14 for me). keeping an eye out for a tape of the second show.

nalafej Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I managed to sneak out of night one without any merchandise. I was proud of myself. Then, I get an email from the Stones and all the sudden I've dropped $50 on a gig poster. That price is pretty impressive especially compared to the signed Minus 5 poster I picked up at their show for $15 two days later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I really liked that 1st night poster. Didn't buy one, though. Chicago Theater light bulbs motif. The one for the 2nd night was very generic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Yeah - especially when the event specific poster nails down the city, too. Now you got me thinking about getting the thing, too - dammit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
opsopcopolis Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I was really hoping they wouldn’t be doing good event specific prints. I’m a big sucker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Finally see the real reason why Richards bugs Analogman so much--- all because of what Keith said about the Bee Gees in 1969 in a Rolling Stone interview: The Bee Gees? “Well, they’re in their own little fantasy world. You only have to read what they talk about in interviews . . . how many suits they’ve got and that kind of crap. It’s all kid stuff, isn’t it?” It is kinda funny - Keith has bagging bands since, at least, '69. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/keith-richards-a-1969-rant-242634/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 That sounds about right. I don't think they ever got into the sort of troubles he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chuckrh Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 here's a vid of the seattle show in august. i went in with sort of low expectations & the band was shockingly great this night. all of the stars were aligned for whatever reason. could be one of the last truly great stones shows. the only thing i could quibble about on the set list was "you got me rockin'" & even that was great. sober ronnie is a good thing. & keith was awesome this night. if that truly was the last time i see them, i'm good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y35HQb4zH0Q&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 New song from the Stones - it's ok, I guess (only heard it on my crappy work computer). Dig the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNNPNweSbp8&src=Linkfire&lId=e90d3d01-23ca-42fb-aaeb-16fe5b27cebf&cId=3969b024-2988-11e7-9fd0-066c3e7a8751 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Maybe the best stones song since the 70's, which isn't saying much I guess. Don't care for the auto tune bullshit on Mick's vocals. Enjoy the all to brief harmonica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Enjoy the all to brief harmonica. It's not doing it for me. And I definitelky think they've done better since the 70s: Emotional Resuce (the song), She's So Cold, Start Me Up, Love is Strong, You Got Me Rocking, The Worst, Out of Control, Saint of Me, I could name a few more even deeper cuts.

chuckrh Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I like the new song, it bodes well for a new record (HA!). Overall though I think I will be spending more time with the new Dylan songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It’s a shockingly great song. Gives me a lot of hope for the new album if it ever gets completed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Stones touring without Charlie -- pretty crazy. Understandable, I guess. Especially with all the previous Covid cancelations. Steve Jordan is real solid choice, though. Hopefully Charlie recovers well enough to join towards the end of the tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I wonder if that is a first for them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
