The sad thing was that they (Mick) never even mentioned Brian, the anniversary, at all

Fun show. Keith looked and played great. Mick was phenomenal.
Short setlist and one Keith tune was weird. Angry and Mess it Up were lackluster. Sweet sounds of heaven was great. Went with my BFF and GF.
It’s been five years since my last Stones show. Hope it ain’t my last.

Other people said Keith looked under the weather and played off...I just watched some vids and I know it's hard to tell with vids but come on, he LOVES JJF and he looked like he only was going through the motions and wasn't even properly there and didn't seem to have too much fun at all...also during Satisfaction, Ronnie was his usual happy excited puppy self and Keith looked like he was labouring hard to even get through the song...so I hope that the fact he only played 1 song and seemed weird was cause he was sick and he'll be fit again for New Orleans and then debut Tell Me Straight <3

Can’t complain… it was a great show after all. I was sending text messages to Paul at the beginning of each song with my comments and in one way, they were in line with the above comments

It was great to hear Rocks Off and Out of Time, the day before I was wearing my Rocks Off t-shirt and singing Out of Time with Gail, Lucille and Bob.

Can’t believe they didn’t play Midnight Rambler and IORR

Wtf… Keith set was only one song! Ronnie looked older and with less energy than Mick and Keith…

If you can, go to see them… I don’t want to say this as many will get angry with me, but this could be the last tour, maybe the last tour, I don’t know

Loved the show, it’s the Stones live you B&B!!!

Well they don't always play IORR it's just a rotation song these days, but I'm honestly so fucking bummed they didn't play MR, it's my favourite live song of the war horses along with JJF...

As I said I wasn't there so it's hard to judge cause I only watched 2-3 vids so far and to me Ronnie looked fine and happy, whereas Keith didn't even smile, he looked kinda exhausted imo and this was only the first show :/

Chanel sounds very very impressive. SSOH sounds even better than the record.

Like the changes they added. Nice to see Ronnie singing back up.

For those who attended, was Mick singing flat throughout? I've noticed that with each tour it seems harder for him to hit the higher notes and on songs like Angry he didn't even seem to try to hit those notes.

Mick just posted this and right when coming on stage for Start Me Up you can see he literally has a black face mask around his right wrist, probably forgot to get rid of it before entering the stage...but this explains everything about Keith and the setlist last night

Also the way Mick and Keith behaved during finals bows (7:15) makes it obvious that Mick wants to keep his distance in order to not get sick too...I really hope that Ronnie does as well tho...

But yeah that's as much as for other people's weird and wrong speculations about "curfew" (if Keith dropped a song due to curfew, then why could they play all songs in Berlin or at Hyde Park where there also was a curfew?) or "Keith hurting his finger during Little T&A and that's why he couldn't play another song" LOL then why was there only one Keith song on Ronnie's setlist? People need to stop speculating and look at FACTS and those all point to the conclusion that Keith wasn't fit last night but hopefully will be in New Orleans

Though I am curious when the last time they played Out of Time on tour.

DC...July 3, 2019...50th anniversary of Brian's death.
Before that...before Brian's passing, I believe

[/quote]

Eh?

It was played at every show on their last tour in Europe in 2022. It was a highlight every night.

Before that - UK tour 1966. This is the first time it has been played in North America

They had rehearsed 'Mothers Little Helper' as a variable in that slot for that 2022 tour but as 'Out of Time' went down so well they never played it.

The song they played in 2019 to mark the 50th anniversary of Brian dying was 'Mercy Mercy'. They hadnt played it since Hyde Park '69 but played it in Landover, Md. Maybe not coincidentally they chose that one as its a Don Covay song (he grew up nearby in Washington DC)

Sellouts arent a big deal.

Tickets are expensive, the Stones have been around forever doing a similar show for decades and by now everyone has had the chance to see them.

They're not doing long tours so if they and their promoter reckon they can sell 40,000 tickets in Texas it logistically makes more sense to play a 60,000 capacity venue than doing two nights in a 20,000 capacity arena (which means two or three nights between the gigs)

I knoe they haven't sold out a stadium show in ages but I was very surprised that THIS many tickets weren't sold, I'd have guessed maybe 8-10k tops were left in this economy, but probably it's worse than expected, which is understandeable seeing how fucking TM is charging such nasty fees on top of already expensive tickets...in Europe the prices were what face value is rn and the "fees" are like 5 or 10€...the shit TM is pulling needs to be prohibited...
