Thats a really good one-liner. Some of his quips on this tour have been very funny.

Unfortunately, thats as topical as they get. They had a few days since that story broke to rehearse what would have been a wonderful tongue-in-cheek song choice for the occasion but clearly couldn't be bothered.

Would also have been nice for the crowd at the last US show of the tour to have got something unusual (the song was only ever played on the 75 tour)

Many kudos to the lovely Sweet Virginia for her great photos throughout the tour. Glad you crazy kids survived the last U.S. show. (for now). On to Mother England.

You were missed Kins. Your Buddy Max is still scratching his head. The weekend was so epic that at this point all I can say is WOW.

Yes a big thanks to everyone that made these last two months a blast.  From the on-the-scene rehearsal team to SV and her awesome pix -- what a fantastic few weeks!

I'm tired, but my SACK is doing much better!

Best wishes to all for continued fun!

I'm with Mel on this one.

I didn't feel gypped at all. Not one bit.

Would I have liked more Mick T in lieu of a special guest?? Yep.
Would I have cheered them dropping One More Shot for a rarity?? Yep.
Would I have preferred to be home and not in the company of the greatest Band of all time and the greatest friends?? NO FUCKING WAY.

The thing I'm taking away from the show is the memory of Keith's face. Keith flashed a smile to us at one point that was quite demonic. The wrinkled warrior who has stared The Grim Reaper in the face and made him RUN, flashed a grin that said "Ha Ha Fuckers". Nanky saw it. I'll never forget it. He smiled, flicked a pic into the crowd, turned around and kept grinding on his ax.

I was in Section 105 directly opposite the stage. The band was tight. Ronnie and Keith on fire. I don't pay alot of attention to guitar solos but I did during Sympathy. Keef nailed it. Ronnie nailed it on SMU. Watts remains the strong engine and Jagger defies description. He has the entire arena under his thumb and his power is as strong as ever.

Is this the end?? Didn't feel like the end to me, despite the tears that flowed during the final bow. They are just too good right now and they are having so much fun.

The two shows I saw were worth every penny. I can't choose one over the other. Each one is special and I'm not making Sophie's choice.

DC will always be special because it set the stage for a weekend of pure mayhem and laughter with my RO buds Nanky (and Mindy), TomL and my "roomie" SV. Great to have Maxmeister along for the ride (party bus that is) as well as Blinded and Shidoobees Holly and TongueLady Lori. And let's not forget the two special guests; Nanky's daughters. So lovely, so excited and such good sports. I don't think we embarrassed ourselves too much in front of them!!

I'd like to add my thanks as well to everyone who provided us with reports and photos, especially SV and Justin.

I'd also like to thank everyone for wearing your Mary pins so proudly. Her memory will live on in many pics. I felt her with me in DC during BTMMR. Keith said "Let's get back to business" and launched into it. I reached in my purse and grabbed Mary's Keith bracelet and held it up for the song.

So on to England they go.

Thanks boys. You still slay me 38 years after my first show. And you've found a way to introduce me to some really cool kindred spirits who truly know how to ROCK LIKE FUCK!!!

Looking quite likely there'll be European arena shows later in the year. There's also talk of South America next spring.

I get the impression - and the title of this tour suggests it - that's no specific 'end date' targetted for these shows. More a case of short bursts of touring a few months apart until they or the audience get bored/go bankrupt/croak (whatever comes first) with no 'long term' plan as such.

So, for that reason, I don't believe for a second that this tour was the last time the Stones will perform in the US. The only real issue is that they might have to demand a bit less money for a promoter to make it worth taking a chance on.

My pleasure, pay particular attention to Satisfaction, people were saying Mick T's guitar was not plugged in or turned down very low on purpose and he was just a prop and not actually playing anything.
