" And then....lights down....the familiar opening notes flickered, the stage lights came up..and they're into Midnight Rambler - and oh my fucking God, Mick Taylor is onstage with them. No introduction, he's just there. And get this, he's performing. You think Mick just stands at the back anonymously like in all those old clips from the 70s? Not tonight. He's gliding across the stage, going up front beside Jagger, and playing off him - and his playing is utterly incredible. Taylor is clearly having the time of his life and the band manage to deliver what was possibly the best version of Midnight Rambler theyve done since....well, since he left the band actually.  The absolute showstopper of the night and - whilst it may just be the initial post show euphoria - this could possibly have been the greatest thing I've ever witnessed at a Rolling Stones concert.  "


This makes young Joey ORGASMIC !!!!!!!!  Smiley

Thanks Gazza...great write up.

Question...What about empty seats?? Was it obvious that the scalpers took a bath and could not resell tickets??
Were they being sold for a dime on the street?
Just wondering what 2013 might bring us as far as trending prices, ticket access...firesales...etc...

So glad you got to go...Don't know a more deserving fellow!!

About 15 minutes before the gig there appeared to be almost an entire block on the lower tier on the left hand side empty and lots of gaps elsewhere. However, by the time the lights were going down the place looked well filled to me. If there were gaps (and I would imagine there probably were) there didnt appear to be very many.

The 02 doesnt allow ticket touts on their premises as far as I'm aware and there were also none at the Tube station outside the venue when I arrived there around 3.20 pm. We left for the gig around 7 and made it there for 7.10 and the only people who stopped me to ask me anything were a Ukrainian Tv crew. They asked us to sing, so the guy beside me started 'I Wanna Be Your Man' and we all joined in....

Talking of TV crews, a guy from ABC came into the pub just as we were leaving wanting to interview some Americans - but I dont think there were any there at that stage (SV had to leave us around 6 pm for her pre-show dinner and I think they wouldnt let her leave in case she went outside and re-sold her ticket....As if!).

However, we met up afterwards for a few beers. I had a ridiculously early start, so I decided to forget about getting the last tube back to my hotel as two hours sleep was as good as four. We stayed until about 2.30, I got a cab back for 3 am and then got up again at 5.15 to get to Gatwick for an 8.50 am flight. I was in work two hours later! Needless to say, I havent been very productive.  If the above revew is a bit disjointed, take into account that I've basically been in a coma for the last six hours.

Oh man, I hope he's at the Brooklyn show.



I'm hearing good rumours about Mickey boy regarding the three American shows. I really hope it's true, because not only would it be wonderful for the fans to see him like this, but it must be a fantastic experience for him to not only be playing with the Stones again but to feel the love he received last night. Both from onstage and the audience.

Gazza, your review is smashing! Loved reading it, and kept stopping to read it to my husband. Thanks so much! SOOOOO glad you were there....Smiley

SV, your pix are really great! Wow.   Grin I'm still wrapping my brain around the Bill Wyman/Mick Taylor appearances. Just so incredibly historic....gets me all choked up. Thanks for the pix, SV! Kiss

Ronnie's solo really sounded amazing on YCAGWYW. The bits I've heard are some of the best things they've played in over 30 years.

I wouldn't be happy if I was Bernard's wife. Lisa and Darryl look like they've been hanging out at the same buffets. I would have loved it if they had had Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor together once but they probably wanted each to have their own moment alone but you can always do both. That was probably going to happen on Satisfaction.
