The 2013 Tour Scrapbook - Show Threads, Favorite Moments
Jun 25^th, 2013 at 7:29pm

I see myself in a few weeks wanting to revisit these last few months and I'd love to have one place where I can go and do that. With all the amazing reviews, videos and pictures gathered on this board in the last month, I think it'd be great to compile it all in one large heap.

Also, I'd love to use this space to celebrate key moments in the tour that we found memorable ...kind of a "best of" compilation. There are many to choose from and I'm sure we all have our own favorite moments. With the North American leg over....Let's celebrate them!

The first few moments that absolutely stick out for me as tour highlights from the North American leg:

"Emotional Rescue" debut in LA....I was up in the rafters and Mick announced it and I lost it.

"Six Days On The Road" - the song is fun as hell, and the energy was kinetic. Mick gives Charlie a thumbs up---you know it's good if Mick is happy.

"Street Fighting Man" - This video blew me away. I had not seen the Stones THIS engaged and focused in a long time. When Keith talks about hitting that groove with the band that it starts to feel like you're "levitating"--this must be what he's talking about.

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" - LA Debut....all I remember was joy taking over me when I heard the opening chords rip. The joy turned into shock and disbelief when I saw Taylor standing there with the band. Later when he slipped into his solo....I was honestly in another world.

What are yours?

Shine A Light in Chicago.
The emergence of Emotional Rescue as a "warhorse".
CYHMK with Mick Taylor in Chicago (are you fucking kidding me???!!!!)
Keith and Ronnie on fire!!
Seeing my Stones friends and making some new ones.
Kegbus to and from the DC show.

It's all been great but those are my favorite moments.
Feeling very grateful today.

Great idea Justin. Thanks for going to that trouble.

The sheer poignancy of two one off songs for departed friends who left us earlier this year and didnt get to experience the tour are my special moments.

'Shine a Light' (for Gottorollme - a song played at her funeral just two weeks earlier) winning the fan vote at Chicago #2 and getting it's only performance at a show where so many people from this board got together (and ironically enough, 'Rocks Off' won the fan vote at Chicago #1!)

'Under The Boardwalk' (for Luxury) in Philadelphia - first appearance since 1965. A song which, as Eric recalled for us so wonderfully, had a special significance for her life and which was played on a night where he was in attendance with her family.

You couldnt script stuff like that. It was as if it was meant to be. Either that or someone in the Stones camp is reading this site and paying attention in a way that's beyond obsessive!

Musically, this was my favourite one, I think, if I had to single one out.

Saying that, I never tire of watching Mick Taylor creep around the stage on 'Midnight Rambler'.

...These are highlights for me, personally...

1. Going to rehearsals and having Charlie come out to greet us and sign some autographs
2. Hanging out with some friends from down under the first week in May
3. Attending the (west coast) opening show with decent $85 seats
4. Witnessing CYHMK played live for the first time w/Taylor.
5. Having my $85's upgraded at Staples #2 (Thanks Justin).

Let's go get drunk

Oh, I almost forgot....making it on to the fan video!

New favorite moment: Glastonbury

It's just now dawning on me just how much they rocked it. Reading the reviews today, it's sinking in.

To single out one moment I think I gotta go with

2000 Light Years From Home

---yes even with the rocky start!

Gazza or Voodoo,..would someone kindly update my first post above to add the link to the Glasto thread? I forgot that I'm unable to "Modify" my posts after a certain period so I'm unable to do it myself. That'd be totally great!

For some reason the Song Vote/Guest selections stand out to me.
Specifically:
Street Fighting Man
Bitch (w Dave Grohl)
Six Days On The Road (w Taj Mahal)
Its All Over Now (w John Fogerty)

and, of course, SWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

on a personal note, my long time dear friend here "Lethargy" was leaving the San Jose show and Keith slowed down to roll down his window and give him a wave goodbye.

^ I dont have to be shrooming to find tons of awesome cosmic meaning in that. So cool.

I'm very tempted to argue that Bro Shugah has been the defining song of this tour. This very witty ol' ditty has been played balls-to-the-wall during almost all, if not all, performances, with Ronald being especially on form, Michael seeming to delight in the band's cookingness and the audience interaction ('Turn the lights up, Patrick' etc.) and Bobby K blowing in a lovely blowy way. A typical example, filmed in a jolly way...

I was particularly taken, though, by Tim Ries & Colleagues' version of it a few days before the end of the tour...
