: : Great show again but a bit different: : : They dropped Live With Me at #2 and went straight into Respectable. Personally, I thought it was much better. : : Then All Down the Line at #3 -- Ronnie slid and slided and slud like crazy -- real Ronnie showcase. And he got to keep the slide for You Got Me Rockin : : HTW went over very big with the crowd last night. The opening 5 songs were really well placed. : : Moonlight Mile at #5 -- like Sister Morphine last time out, alot of people sat and looked puzzled. But it was very nicely done & Mick's voice was fine on the high notes. : : Then Saint, Paint, and another fine rendition of Some Girls (although Mick got a bit mixed up on the lyrics -- but it didn't much matter) : : Intros - Ronnie got much hooting -- Charlie too of course. : : Keith was very well recieved and actually acknowledged Mick. In fact, there were a number of moments where he and Mick interacted. : : Keef hit Thief and You Don't have to mean it. : : The first was good, the second great -- Ronnie played keyboards again and was a riot -- he'd fuck up and start giggling and Chuck would set him straight for a few bars, then he'd fuck up again. The guy is such a goof! : : OOC went off very well. : : Small stage -- Rt 66, Just mY Imagination, and MR. : : The sound wasn't right on this one -- they were using the PA over the small stage and we had heard that they had been having trouble with its sound. I think night #1 they used the main PA. : : Or it might have been our seats -- we were right in front of the stage on Keith's side -- so the small stage was at the other end. I'll be curious to hear other reactions -- but it sounded muddy. : : On the way back to the main stage, Ronnie went first and Keith second -- when Ronnie got to the steps leading to the stage he stopped -- Keith gave him a bear hug and carried him up the steps and wrestled with him. It was great -- I think Ronnie was having a great time with Keith last night. : : Tumbling Dice went very well. : : THEN IORR hit and I gotta say -- guys, if you are tired of this one, so are we. The whole show was doing great and they all get bored on this one -- Ronnie was just ho-hum about it -- Keith was sounding bad. He was playing to Lisa/Bernard/Darryl and he was either in the wrong key or using the wrong guitar or drunk or something -- it sounded bad -- even Mick turned around and had that "what the fuck are you doing" look. : : Start Me up went over big too as did Brown Sugar : : Sympathy wasn't as tight as night #1 -- Keith again was kind of in his own world. : : Overall though, they were all more loose on the second night. Jagger chatted a lot more with the audience -- and got everyone singing and clapping a lot more. Ronnie played very well and Keith was just having fun. Very different than first night. : : I think they have their A set-list which was night #1, very quickly paced and down to a science. : : Night #2 is their fun night -- they tak a few chances, they seem more relaxed and less predictable (sort of). : : Okay the first night I was floored by the youngsta Stones fan (see previous post) : : Last night I was floored by the Rolling Stones management -- get this: : : My wife and I are sitting right in front of the stage on Keith's side of the stage -- right where Mick or Keith come over to the edge by the audience. : : The four seats next to us were opne during the Corrs -- then 4 people who are very VERY excited about their seats show up -- and with good reason. : : Apparently, they had purchased seats in the last row of the upper deck behind the stage -- and just before the show, a member of the Stones organization came up and handed them 4 tickets down fron -- no charge -- they didn't sell, and "you've been upgraded!" : : So here they come right in front of the stage -- the one woman giggled for 15 minutes straight. And over the course of the next few minutes, the management brought down a few more people to fill the seats that hadn't sold. : : My faith in the band was never higher -- these folks were so pumped -- the guy that sat next to me had never seen them before -- he won't sonn forget it -- Jagger was 20 feet away from him! : : Many many thanks to Stonesdoug for a great time at the bottom line -- mrs. nankerphelge and I had a great time meeting with you and checking out your scrap book. : : And thanks to the junkies, who endured the loss of their friend and were a lot of fun. : : I was at show #2 and thought the sound on the main stage to be horrible and on the small stage very good!!! So, I think it may have been your seat locations. I was in the back in a luxury box.
