I was complaining about Roger Waters closing but after the three shows in Mexico City I think it's not so bad as he's playing only Pink Floyd music of the 60s and 70s... really great shows, trust me

That guy really is a fucking self important idiot. I remember him 'breaking the story' of the Newark and London gigs in 2012 and getting the dates completely wrong.

LOL...I love the supplemental speakers around the field...(or at least they look like speakers)...

This truly looks like a horrible venue...if anyone here is going, I hope you have a great time...I really do...but from this photo...it makes me glad I am not going to be there...I did consider it for a minute as my fave nephew lives about 20 min from the polo grounds...

but...anyway...WOW!!

Gracious...that venue looks even more tremendous @ ground level...

Doing a field of perspective comparison with the aerial photos above and the video at the 29-32 sec mark...you can see the screen at the opposite side and barley make out the back field section, if at all...

Remember when you went to a concert to see the band live...and not just listen to them?

Periscope was spotty but I did see a majority of the gig. Of course, the one song I missed almost completely was Ride 'em On Down.

SMU
YGMR
Out of Control
Ride 'em on Down
Mixed Emotions
Wild Horses
IORR
Come Together
Tumbling Dice
HTW
Intros
Slipping Away
Little T&A
MR
Miss You
Gimme Shelter
Sympathy
Brown Sugar
JJF
YCAGWYW
Satisfaction

Come Together was interesting but not worth replacing one of their own.

Rick

Vegas in 12 days, oh yeah.

Two keyboard players on stage...interesting. Keith's solo on T&A was fantastic. Sasha Allen continues to provide great backing vocals. I like her a lot in this band. I'm digging how the band is playing. It's the Stones!
