Worried About You

If you believe the IG numbers...Wild Horses is gathering more votes than the other songs combined...

It's a fucking joke that Wild Horses is up there again altho they just played in Seattle, really hope they'll prove to us that the vote is faked by playing anything but that, so tired of that song live...especially with Depending on You as one of the other choices and Worried about You which is a song I've wanted to hear live forever...

Spotted these in NYC today near Times Square and near Rockefeller Center:

My friend and I are 1st in line for Pit A (and currently still the only ones), over at the Vip entry there were like 10 people already when we arrived about half an hour ago, which kinda defies the logic of vip entry imo cause wasn't it supposed to be there for people to be able to arrive later and still get in first?

Analysis...its the soft fan that votes.
They dont know the new stuff.
The also dont know the deeper cuts like WAY and FTC

This is the sorts of stuff that convinces Jagger to keep playing the war horses because "they have to".

I am hoping for more new songs throughout the tour...but at the shows I go to, lol

See, the general audience, the people attending the shows want war horses, known songs, the soundtrack of their lives, they don't care about new songs from the new album... sad sad sad

😎🎸🎸See you tonight East Rutherford, New Jersey! Cannot wait to be back in Jersey for our show!

I really hope Mick is bored of ppaying Wilf Horses again and just plays whatever the fuck he wants what hopefully will be Depending on You, but I'd also love Worried about You

We were sent to the tunnel that leads to American Dream mall earlier because it was raining so hard but it's good now...just hot af

Well, you are in the middle of NJs cheapest lands...in the swamps.
Dont know which is worse, the swamp gas / methane odors or the breezes from the nearby bleach factories

Hydrate and have fun!

https://youtu.be/vzOv-YO8HPo?feature=shared

the first of my videos I managed to upload, with the rest I gotta wait til I have better connection, this Holafly esim sucks and the hotel (albeit 4 stars) doesn't have free wifi ::)

But some of my impressions of the show summed up:

amazing crowd in Pit A, people were already dancing during the opening act! Everyone also was very nice and respectful, no rude comments oe pushing or anything (unlike e.g. Vienna 2 years ago) also there seemed plenty of people in the Pit but it wasn't too crowded, we had a lot of room to move and dance after we made it to exactly the spot we wanted to be, maybe like 3 rows behind the likes of Hendrik Mulder and Matt Lee (whom we were a little surprised to see after all) very close to the catwalk (the entire stadium was pretty full in the end except for some sole seats I guess)

At first I liked the opening act (2 songs or so) but then it got too fucking weird for my taste...

The Stones were fucking amazing as always! I was so so so happy and thankful to be able to see them again, I just love to see them perform and be all excited and happy about what they're doing, they all seemed very happy, loads of smiles, it was great to witness <3

Highlights: getting to hear 6 songs I haven't heard live before (Get Off Of My Cloud, Shattered, Mess It Up, Angry, SSOH, Little T&A) so imo the setlist was a pretty solid one and a noce surprise getting to hear Shattered!

Keith's voice sounded incredible! I was disappointed af when Wild Horses won the vote song even tho it was to be expected, but the disappointment vanished as soon as Keith startes to sing background vocals, I just love to hear him and Mick together <3 and he did really reallt well on his 2 songs, I literally went like WOW at one point during You Got The Silver, might be one of the best versions I've heard him do so far. Also his guitar playing was on point! No mess up on SMU, also all his other parts were really great, he sat down a lot towards the end of the show but it totally helps him to play better!

Miss You! I never thought I'd say that because it was my most hated warhorse live so far but omg...they really elevated the song by Keith actually raking it seriously and not as a break and Mick playing the harp on it, I loved it a lot!! Also a very cute moment when Mick tried to coax Keith to come onto the catwalk with him during the song, it was sweet to see them like that <3

Mess it Up! It was soooo fun to get to hear it live, really awesome to dance to, people seemed to enjoy it :D

Chanel, she is fucking incredible, her voice is SO much more impressive than Sasha Allen's...it's totally deserved to give her spotlight on 2 songs, Gimme Shelter was so much more enjoyable with her and the only downside of SSOH was that they just played the short version, what a pity...

"lowlights" (just calling it like that but I actually fully enjoyed the show): them not playing Tell Me Straight after soundchecking it not only once but twice...so hopefully they'll do it on Sunday and this was just a rehearsal for Keith since the last time he rehearsed that song was the soundcheck in Houston, so let's hope for the best

Wild Horses winning the song vote...even if I enjoyed the song as soon as Keith started singing, imo they shouldn't have put it up for vote in the first place after already playing it in Seattle, so fucking boring...especially with Depending on You and Worried About You up for vote...hoping for something better on Sunday

Rambler not being in the setlist...something's jist missing for me but that's probably just me because I enjoy their more blues-y stuff so much...but overall the setlist could have been worse I guess xD

I'll hopefully be able to post some more videos (and pics) soon and meanwhile I'm SO looking forward to Sunday even if we still need tickets  ;D

Thanks a lot for the review and the video!

From Ronnie: 🔥What  a night in East Rutherford, NJ! Thank you to everyone who came😎🎸

Damn, I can't find a single picture in my photo library.  I had to have taken some.  I'll keep looking.  I had photo library issues awhile back and maybe there is another folder hidden somewhere.  I could swear I had a picture of someone singing into the sole of his shoe  ;D

haha thnat was me!! But as far as I know there ain't no pictures of that moment

BTW, I edited your message the only thing missing was closing the quote

Gimme Shelter, with thanks to Matt Lee

Great reviews sounds like the best show of the tour so far

Gotta say, this may be the best live Shattered I've ever heard. Mick kept up, Keith kept up, Ronnie and Steve held it together. Amazing at their age. I remember it sounding like a funeral dirge when they did it in 2018.

Also, the two year break has breathed new life in IORR. Keith's really going for it these days on that one.

Omg you are SO right about IORR!! When they started playing it semi-regularly this tour I already was dreadiing to hear it at the shows I was going to because I hated it in 2018 but actually this timd around I REALLY enjoyed it!

Oh I forgot...last night I finally managed to post those of my Metlife 1 vids that I couldn't while staying in NYC seeing how our 4 star hotel had no free wifi (American capitalism  ::) )
