Well, here we go again.  A new tour and, sadly a new era for our favourite band.

The opening show in the first tour without Charlie is a private show for Robert Kraft at the home of the New England Patriots. The Stones have played a show for him before, in a tent at the same venue on October 25th 2016, the final date of a 5-show mini tour in the US. That show took place in a tent in the middle of the stadium in front of about 300 people. This one will probably be on the same lines.

For private shows, the Stones are usually contracted to play for about 90 minutes, so don't expect a full length concert. Some interesting song choices in rehearsals, lets see if they play many of them.

No doubt it'll be hard to get eye witness accounts of this one, and sadly we won't have Charlotte Watts along on this tour to upload setlists on social media, so any help tracking down reports or photos will be welcome.

Good luck to the Stones and all of the band members - especially Steve Jordan - on what will undoubtedly be an emotional occasion for everyone.

Wow, they played 19 Nervous Breakdown.  That was a Brian Jones song.  They don't like to promote Brian.

agree Rev!

Kinda ironic. Cashmere was the Aussie journalist who broke the 'world exclusive' story in September 2009 that Charlie had left the band.


Remember that one?

First performance of '19th Nervous Breakdown' since Madison Square Garden on 13th September 2005. It was only played twice that tour - the other time was the pre-tour club show in Toronto a month earlier. Before THAT show, you have to go back to  Buenos Aires 30th March 1998.

So, only the third performance since March 1998.

can't see it very well, but it looks like steve is copying Charlie's style, by not hitting the hi-hat and snare drum  at the same time (?)

My thoughts based on the clips:

- "Miss You" and "Satisfaction" sound awkward. The grooves aren't there and those are two of Charlie's best. Hopefully Steve develops the right feel in subsequent shows.
- Nice that they did an outtake and "Ghost Town," makes it feel fresh.
- Weird that they opened a show that doesn't feature a signature Keith riff or solo.
- Mick's speech was lovely, and I think it's telling Keith said nothing.
- "19th Nervous Breakdown" sounded great. A perfectly acceptable tempo, strong vocals from Mick, and thank God it's the original arrangement.
- "Jack Flash" sounded rock solid. In general, Keith sounds like he's in shape, maybe he feels the best way to honor Charlie is to emulate his rock steady professionalism and reliability.

Honestly, this is the most emotional moment I've ever watched in the Stones history, counting absolutely everything, bar none.

It hit me like a truck.

Bless their sweet loving hearts, I can't even imagine how it feels. If it hurts so much for us... What a wonderful story, what a unique life they shared. I just can't get over of how emotional it makes me feel, really hits home.

Stoned in Richmond County (said with Peace & Love)...I was at the Bigger Band show with NO Keef set at all...in lieu of a Keef set, we got a bomb threat, audience evacuation, and a delay that seemed like forever...we also got Midnight Rambler added to the set as a consolation.

This was @ Charlottesville VA, October 6, 2006
