Awesome!!

The regulars here who took pics to document the tour here were awesome.
Sweet Virginia's were great. So were Throbby's. Many others too who contributed.

No other board captured the tour better than the Rocks Offers did.
Suck on that Shidoobee's

this pic of Keef looking bad ass and rockin is especially great

SV, do you have any large format prints for sale?

Thanks, guys....I absolutely loved that show. It's not the "Faraway Eyes" show, Glenny...this pic was from the Giants show in 2005. A steaming humid night in Jersey. We were on the floor next to the rails about half-way between the B-stage and the main stage. I get "the tingle" just thinking about it.

God, I love this band.

Setlist:
New Jersey
Giants Stadium
9/15/05

1. Start Me Up
2. You Got Me Rocking
3. Shattered
4. Tumbling Dice
5. Rough Justice
6. Ruby Tuesday
7. Heartbreaker
8. Night Time (Is The Right Time)
9. The Worst
10. Infamy
11. Miss You
12. Oh No, Not You Again
13. She’s So Cold
14. Honky Tonk Women
15. Out of Control
16. Sympathy for the Devil

Glenny, there is no excuse for you missing both the Giants Stadium shows on the ABB tour!
This sort of slacking will not be allowed on the 2010 tour. You are expected at every show in NY, NJ and CT.
And of course Boston and Chicago.

If you don't show, I'll call my Senator and get your bonus revoked. Ouch!

And Tumbledsomebody...here's another pic from that show that I think you might like

The September 2006 one was fun because it ended up being a bit of a rehearsal and preview for the Beacon shows.

Added bonus: their version of Rambler that night was incredible. Mick was whispering "ooooh, yeah........"
He was holding an entire stadium in the palm of his hand...whispering.

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? Grin

Nellcote raises his hand as present.

Hovered around the floor for most of the show,
then moved to dead center B stage.

Great header shot, SV....

Got there late to meet many folks, but I did locate this
group of fanatics....

This was my streak of shows starting with Fenway
the one Glencar would not attend, due to his Fenwayaphobia...
