Okay some more thoughts now:

Already while waiting for entry everyone was very excited for the setlist changes we might get for the 2nd show because of course we all knew they'd mix it up a bit. And then when we got to hear the soundcheck, expectations were running high because they did Heartbreaker (twice), Tell Me Straight, Bitch and to everyone's amazement Midnight Ramler...everyone close to me in the Pit queue (people who are going to many shows each tour) whom I was able to talk to was utterly thrilled about the return of Rambler and basically everyone agreed they should at least keep rotating it or bring it back for good, it seems to be a total favourite among true fans.

Keith messed up the intro to SMU but I actually wasn't sure whether this tine around he did it on purpose to mess with people because it became clear instantly that he was on fire last night. His playing was incredible, he moved around on stage more than during the first 3-4 shows combined and it was obvious he was having a great time, he was basically smiling non-stop.

Also his voice sounded completely brilliant once more and instead of being annoyed at them for playing Wild Horses again, I actually truly enjoyed it this time around, also because it just was such a beautiful sight to have Mick and Keith in matching outfits singing the chorus together <3

Last night they switched MiU for WWW and I loved it!! It's my fave song of HD and it soubded brilliant, I loved the guitars and Mick's voice! Instead of "and all your dreams are crushed" he sang "and all your dreams are fucked" lol (just noticed while re-listening to my recording)

I'm still not a big fan of Angry live (or in general) and would love for them to play MiU and WWW instead every show, the only good thing about Angry is Keith with that nice guitar and Ronnie singing background vocals...

Unsurprisingly (since we heard the soundcheck) Heartbreaker won the song vote and it was an amazing version that they played! I voted for it so I waa completely happy with the reault this time...also before announcing the winner, Mick made a comment basically hinting on that the vote is a proper one and not staged LOL, so apparently he heard about the rumours of people claiming it's fake xD

When Keith's set came around, expectations and anticipation were high, everyone around me was basically crossing their fingers to finally get Tell Me Straight and when Keith announced he was gonna play it, loads of people (me and my friend among them) screamed so loud that it's on my recording and you'd think it's actually a show in the 60s and we're all 14 yos seeing them for the first time but everyone was just so excited to finally hear this song and we didn't get disappointed! Keith delivered SO SO well, it was incredibly beautiful and I hope he's gonna play it again in Boston or Orlando so I can enjoy it even more when I don't have the camera guy right in front of me hopefully next time around...this actually was the only let down of the show, the camera guy...would be great to get a spot a few steps further to the right next time, which hopefully will be possible because we got early entry

Overall, a really great show with a few surprises and probably the best setlist of the entire tour so far! Personally, out of the 10 shows I have seen so far, it's among my top 3 right after HP1 and Paris in 2022

Nice setlist. Four tour premieres including a lovely version of 'Tell Me Straight'

For anyone who is curious about these things, the last time the Stones played a full length concert that didn't include 'Miss You' was, by my reckoning, at the 02 in London on 21.8.07  (they did omit it at the Wiltern in 2015 and the RacketNYC last October)

Did anyone feel shortchanged by them not playing it? I mean, they got 'Rambler' instead.

I know they have so many 'warhorses' but this shows that they can easily rotate some of them in and out of the set as well as doing the same with the deeper cuts

TELL ME STRAIGHT


MIDNIGHT RAMBLER


HEARTBREAKER
