Your wish is my command.

Dice and SMU out of the back end.....wonder if there will be something new added or just shorter set? ER would be a nice add breaking up the run of warhorses

maybe a surprise like 2000 Years coming up?

think Keith is saying to himself.....That fucker Gaza made it afterall!

no Brian mentions yet?

No tour premieres just switching the setlist around a little...I thought they were going to do more of the songs from 44 years ago, guess not!

Unless they pull out a gem in the next 30 minutes................

I hope some folks got to re-vamp the shoulder dance.

THEY SURE LOOK HAPPY!!!!!

In that meeting. Tell him he can stuf Start Me Up back in a drawer too.

Solid setlist, I'd say.
nothing flashy or obscure but heck, they've got Bob Clearmountain flown in to do a serious job.
part II is to follow. let's see what we get then.

Looks just like it did 44 years ago...

Set list is ok...it is a festival afterall...

Mick is Superman, Justin....

It does look like Mick and Keith are getting along better than they have in ages and judging from the interviews, a new album looks possible now. However, what a toss pot setlist and did Mick Taylor come on for Satisfaction? Also, any Brian mentions? It would be nice to have them say something at the next gig for Brian and Stu but they always seem to let everyone down when it comes to these things. I was hoping for something like Mick Taylor coming out with them on the first song but I knew it would never really happen. Nonetheless, there is something that is always a bit special when they play England. It's one of the only times that you know they are all united and it feels like they are teenagers again.

I'm particularly impressed by the jackets & trou's M, K and R wore, by the Shakespeare snippet, and the overall gemutlichkeit amidst the raucousness.

So-so set list, but I like the order. Taylor should be out more. I have no idea what Keith was doing at the start of SMU. I think he had no idea either.

Nothing about this setlist would make me wanna buy a DVD of this show down the road! When I get the 16gig transport stream of the complete Glastonbury tomorrow THAT will be my DVD from this tour!

Do you have a picture of Ade AFTER the Pimm's?

man SMU on Youtube was brutal with that Keef botch. Is it me or did they seem to have less speakers in place and lower volume based on location of Hyde?

Yes...the volume didn't seem to be as high as the other shows, particularly the guitars. I have loved how loud Keith's guitar is turned up for Sympathy, but last night it was not.

Some of my pics....

Thanks Axel Schumacher!!

Is there going be any videos?

there's an article here.

Keith had been avoiding the far left of the stage all night - he had me convinced he wasn't gonna come to us at all. But thankfully he came over for his solo on Satisfaction it totally blew me away. Absolutely great show

Also gutted I didn't get a close up of Charlie - couldn't really get an angle on him from my position.

Oh Keef, what a clam to start the show!

Still, the videos I've seen so far make it seem like a good set. Did they mention anything abut Brian?


[why the hell would I ask that question?... I know there's no way in hell they referenced Brian...]

Great pics Patrick. Thank you.

I love that the Stones are out there kicking ass.

"More to follow them i have the time."

Looking forward to RO'ers reviews of the show.

From the pics, it's clear the pre and post show gatherings were fantastic.

I want to know about the show.

I have to admit, from the sidelines, it was disappointing NOT to see more gems in that setlist. Seemed like a missed opportunity to me, especially in light in of the Glastonbury set and the 44th Anniversary of Mick Taylor joining the Band. But I wasn't there, so I need to hear from those that were.

I DON'T KNOW, BUT I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THE GAZZAISMS. 

Yes, I would love to hear Gazza's report (from the front lines)

Just home an hour or two ago. Stayed on until today to catch the Bowie exhibition at the Victoria & Albert museum this morning (if youre in London for the show this weekend, I recommend checking it out - but get there by 9.30 am)

Anyway, it appears that London was hotter this weekend than it was in 1969 and I'm happy to report that the Stones were a lot hotter than they were that day too. Apart from Keith doing something bizarre on the first note of the show and Mick missing his cue for the last verse of Brown Sugar, they were all pretty much on all evening. Saturday proved to me that the euphoria of the 02 opening night I saw in November wasn't just an emotional reaction - they really are playing better than they have in a decade. I really enjoyed the whole show - even the songs that I think should have been retired ages ago. ('Miss You' was really good - honest. There. I said it). I know its hard to judge a TV performance against a gig you attend in person, but I thought they played better than they did at Glastonbury.

Setlist was pretty much as I would have expected, content wise, to be honest. Except for the fact that they moved a couple of the warhorses to early in the set to get the festival crowd going from the off. It worked pretty well, as the show was really well paced and the crowd (around me, anyway) seemed really into it throughout. We didnt get into the gig until after 6 and by the time everyone did their thing (merchandise, pisser, bar, grub etc) the agreed rendezvous time extended from 15 minutes to almost an hour so the Vaccines were nearly done when we finally got somewhere that at least half of us could agree upon as a vantage point. Well, well back from the stage but in fairness the sound was really good.

Vaccines finished at 7.40 (they played about 40-45 minutes, not the one hour that BST had put on their website) so I was confident enough we'd get a two hour set after all from the Stones and thats exactly what they did. 19 songs is a bit underwhelming though, it has to be said. It could have been arranged that they were onstage before 8.25 and able to play a couple of songs longer than what we got.

Highlights for me was the one-two punch of my favourite pair of Stones songs - Midnight Rambler and Gimme Shelter. 'Sympathy' was quite terrific as well, with an amazing fiery backdrop which looked amazing in the gathering darkness. The crowd went really nuts for 'Paint It Black' and (surprisingly) 'Gimme Shelter'.

The show started with a five minute montage of footage from the 1969 show instead of the fan video we've had for the tour shows. Other than Jagger wearing a frock (was it the same one? Anyone?) on one song, asking the crowd who had been there in '69 and introducing Taylor at the start of 'Midnight Rambler' (first time this tour?) by commenting that '69 was his first show ('we just dragged him out of the pub and put him on stage..') there was very little mention of the iconic '69 gig - and no mention of Brian. A wee bit disappointing,but not surprising.

The underuse of Mick Taylor though continues to be a real head scratcher. One song on electric and then bringing him back to play a barely audible acoustic guitar on the final song? Whats that all about? Its the musical equivalent of having the chance to cast someone like Jenna Jameson in your own porn movie and then reducing her to a clothed part where she just flashes a bit of cleavage.  'Midnight Rambler' is the highlight every night. A large chunk of the audience know that and I'm pretty sure the Stones do as well. Maybe THAT's the problem!

The Stones have a lot more mileage in them if they can work at a reasonable pace and dont kill the momentum they have now by taking long stretches off the road. The setlists are what they are, I suppose - I didnt really expect anything daring for a festival event and it wasnt an expensive ticket (£95) so it was well worth it. Whether I'd pay silly money again for an arena show is another issue, however  - but for those who can or will, there's no real misgivings to be had about the performance levels. This tour is streets ahead of the Bigger Bang tour - but with a few minor tweaks that are not outside their control  (a bit more variety in the content, more songs with Taylor, fewer 'token' guests and not forcing their fanbase to play a game of chicken by putting off buying tickets until the prices tumble) - it really could be even better.

The pre-show was great fun as always. Always terrific to see people I havent seen for maybe a decade or since the last tour - or ever. We had a real hoot at the Monkey Puzzle as you can probably tell and at the St Giles afterwards.


I wont be at next week's show as months before the Stones announced these gigs I'd made arrangements to go see a few Bruce shows a couple of days later and combining the two isnt really doable, but I hope everyone has a blast. I'll miss you fuckers.

"This is England/Land of Illegal Dances" (Joe Strummer)

Spot on Gary!!

Yeah, the show was a little disappointing, song choice as well as length wise, but also quality wise for me. Keith was struggling on many songs (just see how he fumbles through the intro of SMU) and even Mick seemed to have some problems: out of breath, timing problems etc. He sounded a bit like he had a cold, maybe he did. But Ronnie was really sharp, so it's a well deserved 'well done Ronnie' from me!

I had hoped Mick would have at least mentioned Brian's name, but well, that's also typically Mick right. Mick Taylor was great on MR as expected. I hate how they under-use him too, probably also typically Jagger. I wonder if Taylor'll join for the Euro leg too in the fall, we'll see.

Anyway, I adjusted my expectations and didn't go for a high quality Stones show (though would have been nice), as I think they basically have sucked live since the new millennium.

I also was disappointed with the sound level: I could barely hear them sometimes, being further away to the side. Mind you, no fault of their own, but Hyde Park residents conditions to BST apparently.

I agree with Gaz about the organisation of the thing: just horrible. And don't get me started about trying to get something to eat: lack of choices, not enough vendors, waiting 60 minutes for a cheeseburger, just silly. Toilets were fine though.
Also I drank free water all afternoon as it was insanely hot and they gave away cups and refilled peoples bottles, very nice guys too.

And getting to Hyde Park and seeing Bernard just strolling around the grounds was so funny. I ran yelling after him like a groupie, lol, but he was gracious as ever, taking his time for photos.

The meetings at the Monkey Bar before and the St. Giles hotel after were sublime of course. I had a real blast, thanks everyone!

Oh and if you have nothing better to do, just watch my video snippets here:

Saving that one for Vol.II.

Just listened to one of the bootlegs and I think they did good. A few bum notes from Keith, but what's new ? ! I thought Mick sounded a little out of Breath,but he was running about more than on the arena stage. At almost 70 he is incredible by any standard. He certainly had a better gig than I did. Don't really know what happened.....Drunk ? I don't think so. I think the heat /sun got to me as I felt seriously weird after the 1st number. Annoyed about the tier one restricted view , I went on a ............er , kind of rampage down to the front and ended up getting punched for my efforts. I f*cking deserved it to be honest. Flairville thought I'd lost my mind ! I think I had for a while.....came back to my original position with Ben, SV and her husband, but I spent the rest of the gig "detached". It wasn't drink. I've done shows sober,merry and wrecked and always enjoy them. Cooled off as we got moving out of the venue and came round.......my worst ever gig. Passed out on Sunday and spent half the day lying down and drinking water.....bad. Next week I'm bringing a hat, shorts and more water !

Chalking this one down to experience.

Forgot to mention that we saw Anita, Gary Kemp, Pattie and the girls all in tier 1. I've probably forgotten some.
