Can't decide yet whether or not I like the poster for the Foxboro show, meanwhile my friend already ordered the t-shirt ;D

Also I want anything but OOT as song vote (even tho I love it) because imo they shouldn't put it up for vote but have the guts to play it in a rotation slot...voted for ER but would be thrilled about MM too

BCP!

Voted emotional rescue  8-)

I want ER in ATL...for Some Guy...and ME!

I think the BCP motif is odd...original, but odd...why not Boston Baked Beans or NE Chowdah as well, lol??

So so curious to see whether Monkey Man or Emotional Rescue will make it, I'd be happy about either, but more so Emotional Rescue because I want to see Mick challenging his voice like that and totally think he can pull it off splendidly, he sounds incredible this tour

Don't think we'll be going or we'll be totally fucked tomorrow, we got early entry so contrary to its original purpose we gotta be there early in the morning :-/

It will would be a shame if the "Boston Strangler" didn't make an appearance[size=12][/size]

Yes!!! Really hoping to hear it again tomorrow night, I was so fucking happy when they played it at Metlife #2...it wasn't the best version ever but considering that the last time they played it was Berlin 2022 which was almost 2 years ago, it was alright and I was just rrally glad they played it at all

Heavy rain rn in Boston...hope it's getting better soon so we can head to the stadium...it's expected to stop around noon and around show time should be totally fine

Met like 3 other Stones fans at the hotel already this morning but they're all only going later, we're starting to head to the stadium now...there seem to be some shops and restaurants close by so we hopefully can seek shelter there ;D

We arrived at Gillette stadium but didn't see anyone queueing so far but we also aren't sure if we're at the right spot, email for early entry says Ticketmaster canopy next to Patriots shop, we see the Patriots shop but not the Ticketmaster canopy

I voted for Out of Time but am happy with any of those 4!  Scored a front-row/upper deck tik for $69 in final days--patience rewarded!  Can't head up there till 4 or 5 unfortunately-as work is busy right now....

We went to the box office to ask if they can print our tickets (they can't) and the guy in front of us bought floor seats for basically half the price they used to be a few days ago!

Pit wristbands for this show :)

Soundcheck started with Tumbling Dice, we can hear it nice and clear from where we are for the vip entry

Emotional Rescue!!!

MiU now!

Wild Horses...again  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Angry now but just instrumental it seems

Rambler!!!!

https://i.ibb.co/jz6h8K9/20240530-183404.jpg

We got the spot where Matt Lee and Hendrik Mulder usually are...none of them is here tonight

The supporting act, Red Clay Strays, was really good, loved the singer's voice, but imo they should have played more of their faster songs because the slow stuff almost made us fall asleep and kinda brought the mood down, isn't an opening act supposed to bring the mood up? Wish they would have played Good Godly Woman, it's my fave song by them

I haven't seen an opening act for the stones since 2002...ok...the last song of some band in CLT in 2022...but thats it

A few friends are still considering going to Denver to see Panic...I may go if they go...they are a blast to hang with.
I havnt seen Panic since 89 or 90...amazing they are still around, really.
Opening up for the Stones is a nice way to start their tour on a high...a nice intro before 3 nites at Red Rocks...

I was there and groaned too, but frankly Wild Horses gets better each time out!

So, we're currently sitting in a bar by the stadium waiting for the Uber prices to go down in order yo get back to the hotel and I'm gonna use the time to write a review

Waiting for the show today wasn't as much fun as in New Jersey because it was cold af and we were freezing, so we tried to spend as much time in the shops as possible. But it was great to see some familiar faces again among the pit crowd and also get to talk to new people!

Today we had early entry so we basically were right in front of the stadium gate when they started doing the soundcheck. Everyone was so happy when they started playing Emotional Rescue and we all started to dance! They also played an instrumental version of Angry which was very interesting to hear. This was followed by a snippet of Rambler in which Mick just played a very long harp solo, what a treat!

We got an amazing spot right at the rail and then could chill until the supporting act started, which as described above, was pretty good, I just wish they had played more of their faster songs.

When the Stones came on stage, the cold was forgotten within seconds and dancing and jumping around kept me warm for the entire show. Keith didn't mess up the intro to SMU this time and also played every other tune just perfectly, I was amazed by his solo in Sympathy, one of the best I have seen him doing live.

Emotional Rescue certainly was one of the highlights of the show, I was so happy to get to hear it again! Also I didn't mind they played Bitch once more, better than IORR or LSTNT imo. Also I apprecciated the changed order of TD, WH and YCAGWYW...plus I wasn't annoyed about WH at all this time but really happy we got another chance to hear Mick and Keith sing together, I mean I would prefer them do Dreamy Skies together but you can't always get what you want I guess :p

Since they teased it in the soundcheck, nobody was surprised when they played Rambler and it was a wonderful version, way better than on Sunday! It rocked so hard, imo of my 11 shows I have seen so far (of those 10 times they played MR) the version today was my 3rd favourite after Paris and HP1 2022! Overall this can also be said for this entire show, I don't think anything can top HP1 and Paris 2022 but the show today was just so fucking good, I was so in awe!

Mick and Keith were being cute with each other during the end of Midnight Rambler and also were having a little silly moment during YCAGWYW when Ronnie was doing his solo I think (or was it MiU? i have to check YT vids to find it lol it was sweet) I just love to see the two of them like that it makes my heart happy <3 there were loads of smiles again today by everyone on stage and it's just so precious to see how much they are enjoying this!

Another absolute highlight was JJF, I filmed it because Keith is truly on fire these days and I just wanted to have this on video again. It turned out to be the best live version I have seen so far so I'm pretty fucking happy. Mick also seemed to think that Keith played splendidly because he gave him a pat on the shoulder at the end :)

Another thing I'd like to point out is Mick's voice...utterly incredible! Especially on SSOH togetger with the stunning Chanel Haynes, but wow Mick's voice there left me awestruck...also he can still fo the falsetto in ER REALLY well and I was amazed they only rehearsed it once in soundcheck and still managed to pull it off so incrrdibly well after not playing it in ages! Keith's voice today sounded a little raspier than the 2 shows before, I hope he isn't getting sick again and only has trouble with his throat in this fucking cold like I do myself...

I'm so glad we could attend this show because it was incredible and I'm still smiling while typing this...cannot wait foe the next one (and sadly my last for this tour) in Orlando! Also I hope to be able to share videos and pictures soon, I'm so so so happy with the material I got today <3

Oh here are some first pics ;D

https://youtu.be/nERewOw1kTk?feature=shared

Emotional Rescue...just uploading JJF rn and that'll be all my vids for this show then cause I decided to try and not film so much in order to be more in the moment, so I could enjoy everything more <3

Nice review RW!!
Glad you had a great evening.

Maybe you should take IORR over after BV retires this year.

Thanks glad you liked it...hahah, I wish I could but I couldn't provide material for all the shows like he does, seeing how I neither have the time nor means to travel to every show...but hopefully in Europe next year I could do about 6 again like in 2022, well let's hope for the best  ;D

The Foxboro poster art missed the mark, but would have been cool if Dunks had a Stones commemorative donut this week.

Glad ronnie-woody is enjoying the shows so much. Thanks for the updates

Always nice to get a rarely played song. 'Emotional Rescue' was only ever played before in 2013 and 2014 with the last time being Oslo on 26th May 2014 (the first show after the tour resumed following L'Wren Scott's death)

I wanted to pop in this review of Foxboro. Doing this is more of a hobby than profession for me, like it used to be. It's amazing how small the press presence is at shows. When I covered the band's visits to Boston through the 90s/2010s for daily papers, you could count on several writers and photogs being present-- especially if the tour opener was in Boston. Granted arts coverage across the board has been slashed, but likewise many acts of the Stones' stature simply don't engage press like they used to.  But I still like doing it, so I do

Passed the stadium in Orlando earlier when the Uber took us to our Airbnb, it's only like 15 minutes away by foot!

Also we went to Walmart in order to get the full American experience lol and they played IORR on the radio and we just started to sing along in the middle of the cereal aisle ;D

Edit: I just noticed that's the wrong thread but I'm too tired rn to create a new one for Orlando xD

https://youtu.be/vRMoZJVVm5g?feature=shared

This one guy who always makes compilations of music videos to recreate the entire show did something else for once and put a great audio recording over the video clips for the Foxboro show! There are snippets of my own videos included there as well ;D

I read that this audio recording actually is one of the best that emerged throughout the entire tour...some bootleggers have already used it to sell CDs of it...(why buy tho, if you can just download the YT vid xD)
