This show was fantastic! Took my nephew. He loved it. Mick is phenomenal. The best front man in rock history can still deliver. It's miraculous, inspiring, and breathtaking.
I've seen a lot of legends recently -- u2, Springsteen, Guns N Roses, etc. They all put on very good shows, BUT... vocally they can't quite hit the "big" parts of the songs... and audience engagement is ever so slightly muted. Mick can still do it. No caveats. These songs get the full horsepower of what audiences know and love, and it's so fun to see.
(I agree Like a Rolling Stone was not the best choice. Dylan is my favorite, but I suspect this song (and coincidence of title) is not as meaningful to Stones fans as Mick thinks it. A Stones classic -- Beast of Burden, Wild Horses, Ruby Tuesday, Time is On My Side, etc. would keep the energy / sing a long at 11. OR... if they want to risk "losing" the full stadium, then hey, treat the die-hards to an ever so slightly deeper cut -- Shattered, Bitch, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Shine a Light, etc.)
Very curious what others thought. See you all in Los Angeles!
