Yes...but not together... I hope to finally meet him at SOME point

I dunno, he seems a bit off.



Just kidding brother!

No song vote yet???


But we finally got these:

How come that all the tour shirts look awesome EXCEPT those for all the shows I went to? I feel discriminated...well, the Boston Cream Pie one jas something tho tbh, the overall style with the font and all reminds me of the Let It Bleed cover...so that one's not too bad...NYC bland and boring, Orlando ugly af tho...

Also song vote for Orlando only showed up the morning of the day ahead of the show, but usually it was the evening 2 days ahead of the show, so there is still time...

It's gonna be tight, but I got a plan, man.

Driving through the city, a guy cut me off and birded me! We evened up at the traffic light, and he seemed agitated. I yell, don't be Angry with me! He smiles, we start air guitaring and carry on...

FYI, the waters on.

Song Vote is up now:

https://vote.rollingstones.com/

Rocks Off
Wild Horses
Sweet Virginia
Let it Bleed

Why Wild Horses again?! That's boring af, if you wanna play it just play it, give it a nightly slot like GOOMCby all means but at least give some other songs a fair chance to win the vote song in order to mix things up a bit...

They definitely play Wild Horses way too often considering it's not one of the warhorses, I mean I got it 6 times out of my 12 shows, I never got Angie, they barely ever play that, it's almost a rarity at this point (I don't like Angie that much so that's not a complaint about them not playing it, more of an observation)

Sweet Virginia for SweetViginia (Jini)

I also voted Sweet Virgina for my friend who'll be there and whom I sadly couldn't see in Boston or Orlando as planned due to unfortunate circumstances at his job  :-/ really hope they'll get that one in Atlanta and not WH again

Tonights parry is from 7 on at
https://wildleap.com/locations/wild-leap-atlanta/

Same place as tailgate tomorrow...

Managed to grab a flt down this morning with no issues.
Just waiting on my room now.

This vote is lame...yes SV, of course...my hopes.is that they are pulling out new songs all nite

I don't think there will happen too much setlist-wise tbh...you might get Rambler instead of Miss You and in the spot where they alternate IORR and Bitch or others they might maybe play one they haven't played before like Sad, Sad, Sad or so...but overall they seem to have mostly locked in on the overall setlist...I expect the most changes or maybe additions of more new songs like BMHO or Get Close to be made in Chicago or LA because of the double shows

The vote song tonight has to be Rocks Off....in honor of Gazza

In memory of Tom and Gazza, Paul sent me this pic

From Jini: "...But this show is kind of a mess"

I'm typing with mixed emotions

First time since 2016 with a 3-song set by Keith

From Jini: Three songs from Keef. And I heard there will be only one encore song. I think all due to Mick’s voice seeming strained. I don’t think MJ can do Sweet Sounds tonight. But we will see.

Thanks for the updates, Voo, It can't be easy.

Thanks Holden, in fact I wrote this on FB "I think the last show with a 3-song set by Keith was in Las Vegas in 2016 but now I can't ask someone who can answer that without searching the web (his own reserach btw), miss you Gazza"

Miss you Gazza

Miss you Gazza,

Nice set list, hopefully Mick's voice is doing ok. Someone on Reddit complained about the sound and reverb in the stadium, might explain the "mess"

Just saw on FB everyone cheering like: omg 3 Keef songs!! Meanwhile me thinking: ugh you people know that this is because Mick isn't at 100% right? Cause the only time they do this is when Mick had trouble with his voice, mostly because he cannot handle the heat too well...playing Orlando and Atlanta back to back probably not the best idea, both hot af...last time they dropped a song because of the heat was Lyon 2022...I hope Mick is gonna be okay for the next show! Also it's great to read that Keith stepped up like that but I didn't expect less, those two have each other's back :) cannot wait to watch the videos!

While it would have been nice for the to play Rocks Off in memory of Gazza, I'm happy for my friend who attended who wanted to hear Sweet Virginia! Cannot wait to watch a vid of that...plus Dead Flowers without Tyler Childers xD

Plus I am of course VERY happy to also see Rambler on the list because this means they seem to alternate it now and it wasn't a one off special for the 2nd NJ night to mix up the setlist compared to the 1st show and for Boston because of "have you heard about the Boston...", but that we probably can expect it to be played every other show or so just like they switch MiU and WWW, so that's great <3

Just started watching a vid for Sweet Virginia and Mick makes the impression like he is singing it kinda the way he sings songs during soundcheck, not with 100% force and power behind it, I mean he still sounds mostly great and casual fans won't notice and still think it was the greatest show ever cause they have nothing to compare it to but to me it's not a surprise they dropped SSOH after hearing Mick sing it at Metlife and in Boston where he was outstanding and left me stabding there like :O and going wow at his voice, I don't think last night he would have been able to deliver it that way...anyway, I hope he's gonna be all fine again for the next show!

Thank you for the setlist.

Just watched Rambler, I know it's hard to tell from a video but imo the band didn't seem as tight on this last night compared to Boston which was one of my top 3 fave versions I heard live so far, I'm attributing this to Mick not being at 100%....read some people on FB saying that last night sounded quite messy and untight overall

"I think" Ronnie started with a regular setlist and then he was informed about Mick's problems and a 3-song set by Keith, so the "font size" was smaller

Was the harp not working in the beginning or was Mick having trouble with playing the harp because of not being 100% fit?

According to my sources- out of an abundance of caution, Facilities Management decided to open the roof on The Benz so the Stones didn't blow it off. :o

;D ;D they probably noticed the force and volume of Keith's and Ronnie's guitars, especially during JJF and got scared LOL
