In case you are worried about the "poor Stones" and what it cost them to play in Minneapolis tonight...here is the contract:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/267558996/Rolling-Stones-TCF-Bank-Stadium-Concert-2015...

Contract signed less than a week before the show.

Is this the norm in the industry?

It poured rain right up to showtime. Keef's rainstick has been working well at clearing the skies just before showtime. I liked Grace Potter on Gimme Shelter.

Great pics - thanks.

Nice touch to invite Grace out for Gimme Shelter.

A setlist that includes both Moonlight Mile and Out of Control ain't too shabby even though it's pretty evident this early in the tour that the notion of them playing even half of Sticky Fingers let alone all of it has been proven to be laughably optimistic

They should have played Out of control instead of doom and gloom, and CYHMK in OOC's spot imo. Doom and gloom kinda sucks live.

Harsh. On the positive side - two songs written in the last 20 years last night.

Was there a blue moon in the sky or something?

Grace was great. Being in these giant stadium crowds, I can see we are not going to get anywhere near the SF songs we want. It is a crowd of casual fans at best, and a good portion of first-timers who just want to check Rolling Stones off their list. The people on the floor around me didn't really come alive till Miss You....and all the warhorses that follow it.

Other cities should be better. Minneapolis is full of uptight, lame geeks.

No, that's expected on July 31st. However we did have a Strawberry moon a couple nights ago.
Let's go get drunk

I must be the only person on this board that hates OOC. At least Moonlight Mile made up for it.

Wonder what Lisa thinks of Grace singing on "her song?"

Thanks SV for the pics (great as always!), and for the Vikings tongue logo. I could've sworn that was the original logo for the Minn gig, but then all the merch was focused on the Golden Gophers and that awesome loon print. Good to know I'm not completely crazy.

No OOC does nothing for me. Overindulgent wankering. Now Grace Potter is hot and talented!

.

I'd shudder to think she'd be that arrogant. I doubt she is.

She should be used to it after they got Mary J, Florence Welch et al to guest on it in 2012.

Great a vocalist as she is, its still the greatest song the Stones ever wrote or recorded.

With her or without her.

I'm amazed at the notion (not from you, but from the band themselves and the people who justify the 'greatest hits' shows) that a band who have played to about 40 million people over 50 years are seemingly largely playing to audiences who, despite being largely middle-aged or older, have never seen them before (and also, who only seem to own one greatest hits record and who, despite paying outrageous money to see this band they like dont seem to be interested in checking out anything else from a catalogue which has sold about 250 million records)

If what we're told is true, it must be the most unique audience demographic in musical history.

Holy fuck. Those expressions are marvellous.

The first one is amazing. We ran into BV in San Diego. For such a high profile online Stones community guy. He really is incredibly low key in person. We just happened to be standing outside the stadium listening to the soundcheck when Bluzdude pointed him out to me. So we went up and said hello and had a brief chat. But, just amazing to think he goes to every single show.
