Idek why they keep putting Wild Horses up for vote, it's ridiculous, they play it all the time anyway...I fully support them wanting to play a slower song, but then just scratch the vote and give us Dreamy Skies...

Angie will probably win...I'd vote Far Away Eyes

Good choices but it’s got to be Faraway Eyes.

So if you’re down on your luck…….

Charlie Charlie Charlie!

I voted Far Away Eyes but I'm sure they are going to play Angie

According to the IG poll most people want Wild Horses (why, they play it all the time as rotation song anyway ::) ) and Angie is last, didn't expect that Angie would come in last :O they don't even play it THAT often...I guess they even play She's a Rainbow more often, at least they seem to xD

my completely wild guess about this is that many random fans who only go to one show probably have no fucking clue about the setlists and what they usually play and think they'll probably play Angie anyway even if it doesn't win the vote lol...or, it isn't THAT popular after all (I don't like it that much tbh, there definitely are far nicer ballads by the Stones)

But I'm glad if they get Wild Horses out of the way, then at least we hopefully won't get it in NJ...

I fly to Seattle from Portland in a few hours!  I voted for "She's A Rainbow".

Just arrived at our room at the Edgewater; no mudshark sightings yet.  Don’t remember how to post photos.  Does it require Instagram or something like that? 👅

We have the option to attach files, but it's not working. Our host quoted to fix it some years ago and we replied with a FYH, Will ya?

There are places to upload images, then just copy the URL and use the http://rocksoff.org/aamessageboard/Templates/Forum/default/img.gif button on the menu

The above is the ADMIN account, it was me using it as I tried to fix the "upload files" option

Good opening act tonight! Joe Bonamassa.

To me the best opening of the whole tour

It’s on!

lol no worries, but tbh with that setlist I also would have fallen asleep wouldn't it have been morning in central Europe :P jk we all know nothing is changing after Keith's set but tbh it's disappointing Keith didn't finally play TMS, I hope he's saving it for NYC

Review: Rolling Stones wield rock ‘n’ roll immortality in Seattle

A bunch of pictures and more:https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/music/photos-rolling-stones-rock-lumen-field-in-seattle/

Mick's jacket in this pic makes me think of the German (and Belgian) flag which is kinda funny  ;D

Just read a very interesting snippet of a review by MisterDDDD on IORR about the pre-show rehearsals in Seattle:

"Arrived to hear Depending on You and Dreamy Skies very clearly for soundcheck, grabbed a couple "Seattle Dogs" (it's a thing) and eventually settled into a very roomy and comfortable Pit B."

In 2022 while waiting for entry in Vienna, Berlin and Paris we also caught the sound check and they played 3-4 songs they ended up playing later at the show...I don't know how it has been at other shows since most of the time I missed the soundcheck/didn't hear it but isn't it a bit strange to play songs everyone has been waiting to finally hear in sound check and then not play them live?!

I really hope they just did this because they're planning to finally play them in NYC and since the LA rehearsals are 3 weeks back now there is no other chance to practise these songs again but the pre-show sound checks...

The Emerald Titties.innit? SeaofNiupleTassles?
Some may have been around since the early Medieval period and might be able to dance underwater, but who would want  to be bitter and twisted about it?

This picture is amazing <3 I aspire to take some great pics this time around, well I got a couple of good shots in 2022 but I kinda always forgot to zoom, so they were so small, even tho I was in the pit ;D ::) ;D

Yes, it is that's why it's the current header, fantastic image

This show was fantastic!   I lucked out on a ticket.  Flew to Seattle in afternoon and got a ticket on the plane.  What popped up?   TM released a fresh block.  Floor 4, Row 4, center aisle!   So first row behind pit, closest to catwalk. "Standard" price.  ($550 + fees). 

Still a lot, but WAY less than my "platinum" seat in Vegas.   

Anyway, guy next to me said TM does this a lot -- releases great seats last minute when the band doesn't need them.  Good to know.  Never buying 6 months out anymore.  Lady behind us paid $2k for her "platinum" ticket . 

(My original plan was to do pit, but I was a little worried after hearing Vegas was way overpacked.  Plus I was getting there kinda late, and wanted to get drinks, relax, etc.  So these were perfect.  *Basically* pit, but could still come and go, have some personal space, etc.)

Anyway, it was GREAT.   The performance was fantastic.  I was so happy watching them.  Yeah the setlist was predictable.  But ... so?   Being there, that close, it's just extraordinary. 

I also had a great seat/experience in Vegas.  We were Lower bowl, front row, right next to Pit B. Also great.  Probably "cleaner" in lower bowl -- no obstructions, distractions at all. 
You can see some vids on Vegas thread. 

But floor, close, is gloriously immersive and electric.  So either Pit or floor seats, close, especially if you can get close to catwalk (where aisle seats *become* the front row.) 

Here's a few phone vid snippets.
