Ladies and gentleman, we've done it. Here we are mission accomplished. We stand upon the precipice of destiny. We are in uncharted territories, sailing off the edge of the world. You're either with us or you are against us. All enemies lists have been erased. Have fun, be safe and let your Stones flag fly! God bless us all.

By the look of things, we may be getting an acoustic mini-set (possibly on a b-stage or on the extended part of the stage which goes out into the middle of the field).

Maybe a good idea to let Mick get his energy back in shows which in many cases will take place in very high temperatures.

Ronnie alludes to it in this new interview, which contains possible setlist spoilers

I seem to remember calling it a B stage when I saw the seating charts. It looks like I was right.

Those chords are not Sad Sad Sad...he's riffing in open G. How I Wish is in there along with Street Fighting Man. Open G is so fun and you always end up hitting some Stones licks in there.

Chances of rain have diminished considerable...good for Chicago...

Chicago was where they played She Was Hot the first time I think...

I wish you all the best, I hope we meet again
In a cold Chicago ni-ay-ay-ay-ight


Anyone have 2 extra tickets?
I have just finished everything I need to do and I am getting the itch...might take one of my Glimmer Twins...anyone? Any extra LDs...miracles...transfers...or otherwise...

Thoughts...if the vote actually swung that way...its interesting that they are actually listening to the votes...
They did rehearse OOC at the stadium yesterday or day before...which I just assumed was the vote "winner".

Weather currently 66F degrees and 15% chance rain at 9pm...a bit higher at 11pm

The reconceptualization of Sympathy as a pleasant, mid-tempo, mid-show shuffle needs some work.  Tonight was the Radio City Music Hall version.  Show takes a dive starting with Dead Flowers -- hope it picks up.  Seems a mistake also to sacrifice IORR for LSTNT.

I know -- SHUT UP!

Hope everyone's doing well and can get to one of these shows this time around.  I witnessed a fricken miracle -  Jagger still 'has it'.  Noticeably, a little slower, and used the guitar more often than before, but God Bless that man!

Nice to see some old faces back. Dont be strangers.

Great to see the Stones back and Mick looking as well as ever.

Some people reporting that Keith hardly moved all night, although he played great. Maybe hes feeling a little under the weather? 

The acoustic b-stage mini-set is a nice departure. Interesting that they had an 'alternate' setlist (which omitted that part of  the show) in case the weather was bad. Presumably they'll have similar plans for the rest of the tour.

Thank you for the phone call Pam! There is nothing like hearing those 6 magic words "Ladies and Gentleman, The Rolling Stones". And SFM sounds great in spot 1 and was the perfect choice for last night's opening song.

When I saw the setlist, I was less than thrilled but the videos, reports and pics are definitely giving me the (((( TINGLE )))). This band is amazing and we remain the luckiest fans in rock n roll.

Nice to be back here too but where else would we all go. There's no place like home and Rocks Off will always be my favorite asylum.

Mick Jagger in top form as Rolling Stones kick off tour at Soldier Field

Jagger was a whirling dervish on the expansive, no-gimmicks stage, getting in more miles than a marathoner as he took full advantage of an 80-foot-or-so runway leading to a smaller auxiliary stage.

By Jeff Johnson | For the Sun-Times  Jun 22, 2019, 6:48am CDT



Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones perform as they resume their No Filter Tour North American Tour at Soldier Field on June 21, 2019 in Chicago. KAMIL KRZACZYNSKI/AFP/Getty Images


The signs looked ominous in April when the Rolling Stones postponed their North American tour. Front man Mick Jagger needed a new heart valve, and presumably he’s the healthier Glimmer Twin, with guitarist Keith Richards as famous for his excesses as his bone-crunching power chords.

And in an ironic bit of trivia, the sole sponsor of the band’s No Filter tour is the nonprofit Alliance for Lifetime Income, a retirement planning agency. The four principal band members have roamed the Earth for a combined 300 years, but their IRAs are presumably in good order and looking stronger with multimillion-dollar gates lined up for the current road trek.


When the 15-city, 17-date jaunt kicked off Friday night in Soldier Field, Jagger proclaimed, “We loved Chicago so much we decided to start the tour here instead of Miami.” Presumably Jagger’s comment will be forgotten by the time the curtain closes on Aug. 31 in Miami.

The band never missed a beat during their two-hour (exactly) greatest-hits set, which featured few surprises, no covers, no tunes from their most recent album, 2016’s “Blue & Lonesome” — no blues at all for sweet home Chicago.

But this was no mere walk down memory lane. Even the most iconic numbers sounded rejuvenated, with adventuresome new arrangements that drew on the talents not only of the four mainstays — Jagger, Richards, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Ron Wood — but also on the seven associate members. Although the band hadn’t worked together once in 2019, any ragged edges were barely noticeable.


Jagger was a whirling dervish on the expansive, no-gimmicks stage, getting in more miles than a marathoner as he took full advantage of an 80-foot-or-so runway leading to a smaller auxiliary stage. If the Guinness people were in the house, they’ll be erasing Cher’s name from the books for costume changes and replacing it with clotheshorse Mick.

Jagger made much of the fact that the Stones have played Chicago 38 times since 1964, including eight gigs at Soldier Field. The Bears’ home field will also host local concert No. 39 on Tuesday, giving Jagger a three-day hiatus to sample the city’s Italian beef for the first time. “How should I order it?” he asked the crowd. “Hot and wet” was the consensus.


Jagger reportedly had cardiologists on standby for opening night, but the health scare obviously didn’t cause him to dial down the energy. Perhaps he has some divine inspiration, which was on display when he ventured onto the runway during “Angie,” looking to the heavens and imploring, “When will these clouds all disappear?” An hourlong sprinkle appeared ready to devolve into a downpour, but the drizzle stopped for the rest of the show immediately after Jagger’s plea.

Jagger’s longtime running mate Richards was at his best as he tore into his guitar on hard rockers such as “Tumbling Dice,” “Start Me Up” and “Brown Sugar.” His gruff, grumbling lead vocals provided a change of pace with “You Got the Silver” and “Before They Make Me Run.”


Nobody says more with a single chord than Richards, but the guitar duties are more clearly delineated these days. Richards plays mostly rhythm, while “junior partner” Wood, a mere 72, harkens back to some of his finest pre-Stones fretwork with the Faces. Wood’s screaming slide guitar on “Tumbling Dice” offered a perfect counterpoint to Sasha Allen and Bernard Fowler’s backing vocals. Allen also carried the day with her high-intensity take on the vocal that Merry Clayton once perfected for “Gimme Shelter.”

On drums, Watts has always had a jazzman’s improvisational spirit, and with time he has cultivated that sensibility even more. But when the occasion calls for it, as with “Honky Tonk Women,” Watts is still capable of banging like, well, Charlie Watts. In virtuosic bassist Darryl Jones, a Chicago native, Watts has found a rhythmic partner capable of stretching the bottom line to the limit. And keyboardist Chuck Leavell is no longer just the Allman Brothers alum who tours with the band, but a vital contributor to the Stones’ sound.


For the No Filter road show, now in its third year, the Stones have it right. Other members may chafe at Jagger’s tight leash on the set list, offering far-flung suggestions that make it to the sound check before landing on the cutting-room floor. And the sellout streak would no doubt continue even if the band occasionally skipped over perennial encore “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” or the arena-rock staple “Start Me Up.” But maybe the Stones have it right in thinking fans attend their concerts with expectations of hearing certain songs, and their musicianship makes up for any lack of envelope pushing.

Opening act St. Paul and the Broken Bones gave the late-arriving crowd a ride on the blue-eyed soul train, with lead singer Paul Janeway finally connecting on the set closer, an emotive cover of Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long.” The Birmingham, Ala., octet has some catchy horn arrangements but a few too many filters.

Nothing made me happier than this. The start sounded a bit dodgy but the second half sounded good. I just hope that this doesn't die a quick death like many other recent efforts at the less played songs. Mick was a demon the rhythm though.

Interesting that they had an 'alternate' setlist (which omitted that part of  the show) in case the weather was bad. Presumably they'll have similar plans for the rest of the tour.


The B-Stage Plan-B...a needed tool for Monsoon Season...can  you imagine if these shows dropped to 15 or 16 songs for rain? Glad someone is thinking this rescheduling thing thru.

If they can handle a cold Chicago night like they did years ago. They can handle a little rain. :willya

Mick, don't ever wear that harlequin style again unless it's form-fitting, OK?

Otherwise, an A-minus opening night.  Work harder on that new easy-listening Sympathy version.

Your pal, always,

Nice review by Rob Sheffied, Rolling Stone

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-live-reviews/rolling-stones-chicago-comeback-concert-review-851420/?fbclid=IwAR0L56GaUdLLjlw1hFgiAJKqWs4SoKK9SGh97IHn-K2BwbuaZqLmbm-UnQ

This quote in particular almost makes me re-think my favorite bathroom break song

"But the surprise musical and emotional highlight of the night: “Miss You,” which the band stretched out into something longer, lonelier, more soulfully naked than ever before. Mick skipped up the catwalk and lingered there alone during the breakdown soliloquy, moaning the line “I wanna sing! I wanna sing!” over and over. You wouldn’t exactly say he seemed emotionally unguarded—this is Mick Jagger, after all. But he fleshed out all the grown-up divorce anguish in the song—an ode to middle-aged loneliness in the big city, a song Mick wrote in his mid-thirties, back when he figured that was as middle-aged as anyone could get. (He had no idea.) He didn’t back down from the emotion in the song, and didn’t make a camp joke out of it, either. He made it feel like a moment of doubt and pain—as vulnerable as he’s ever sounded."

Oh what the Hell. Here's Miss You from Chicago

We may be under Dear Doctor's orders for more Easy Listening versions in shows to come...who knows?
