Don't think we'll be going or we'll be totally fucked tomorrow, we got early entry so contrary to its original purpose we gotta be there early in the morning

Yes!!! Really hoping to hear it again tomorrow night, I was so fucking happy when they played it at Metlife #2...it wasn't the best version ever but considering that the last time they played it was Berlin 2022 which was almost 2 years ago, it was alright and I was just rrally glad they played it at all

Met like 3 other Stones fans at the hotel already this morning but they're all only going later, we're starting to head to the stadium now...there seem to be some shops and restaurants close by so we hopefully can seek shelter there

Attending vicariously thru you today!!

You can already see the stage here

Spotted at one of the shops at the stadium

Soundcheck started with Tumbling Dice, we can hear it nice and clear from where we are for the vip entry

MiU now!

Angry now but just instrumental it seems

We got the spot where Matt Lee and Hendrik Mulder usually are...none of them is here tonight

Smoking version of MR!!! Watch live here: https://www.facebook.com/SheedyErin/videos/2120766088309819

So, we're currently sitting in a bar by the stadium waiting for the Uber prices to go down in order yo get back to the hotel and I'm gonna use the time to write a review

Waiting for the show today wasn't as much fun as in New Jersey because it was cold af and we were freezing, so we tried to spend as much time in the shops as possible. But it was great to see some familiar faces again among the pit crowd and also get to talk to new people!

Today we had early entry so we basically were right in front of the stadium gate when they started doing the soundcheck. Everyone was so happy when they started playing Emotional Rescue and we all started to dance! They also played an instrumental version of Angry which was very interesting to hear. This was followed by a snippet of Rambler in which Mick just played a very long harp solo, what a treat!

We got an amazing spot right at the rail and then could chill until the supporting act started, which as described above, was pretty good, I just wish they had played more of their faster songs.

When the Stones came on stage, the cold was forgotten within seconds and dancing and jumping around kept me warm for the entire show. Keith didn't mess up the intro to SMU this time and also played every other tune just perfectly, I was amazed by his solo in Sympathy, one of the best I have seen him doing live.

Emotional Rescue certainly was one of the highlights of the show, I was so happy to get to hear it again! Also I didn't mind they played Bitch once more, better than IORR or LSTNT imo. Also I apprecciated the changed order of TD, WH and YCAGWYW...plus I wasn't annoyed about WH at all this time but really happy we got another chance to hear Mick and Keith sing together, I mean I would prefer them do Dreamy Skies together but you can't always get what you want I guess :p

Since they teased it in the soundcheck, nobody was surprised when they played Rambler and it was a wonderful version, way better than on Sunday! It rocked so hard, imo of my 11 shows I have seen so far (of those 10 times they played MR) the version today was my 3rd favourite after Paris and HP1 2022! Overall this can also be said for this entire show, I don't think anything can top HP1 and Paris 2022 but the show today was just so fucking good, I was so in awe!

Mick and Keith were being cute with each other during the end of Midnight Rambler and also were having a little silly moment during YCAGWYW when Ronnie was doing his solo I think (or was it MiU? i have to check YT vids to find it lol it was sweet) I just love to see the two of them like that it makes my heart happy <3 there were loads of smiles again today by everyone on stage and it's just so precious to see how much they are enjoying this!

Another absolute highlight was JJF, I filmed it because Keith is truly on fire these days and I just wanted to have this on video again. It turned out to be the best live version I have seen so far so I'm pretty fucking happy. Mick also seemed to think that Keith played splendidly because he gave him a pat on the shoulder at the end

Another thing I'd like to point out is Mick's voice...utterly incredible! Especially on SSOH togetger with the stunning Chanel Haynes, but wow Mick's voice there left me awestruck...also he can still fo the falsetto in ER REALLY well and I was amazed they only rehearsed it once in soundcheck and still managed to pull it off so incrrdibly well after not playing it in ages! Keith's voice today sounded a little raspier than the 2 shows before, I hope he isn't getting sick again and only has trouble with his throat in this fucking cold like I do myself...

I'm so glad we could attend this show because it was incredible and I'm still smiling while typing this...cannot wait foe the next one (and sadly my last for this tour) in Orlando! Also I hope to be able to share videos and pictures soon, I'm so so so happy with the material I got today <3

first vid uploaded, took forever with mobile data but I'm afraid the hotel wifi isn't much faster and we're heading to the airport tomorrow morning to take a plane to Orlando, maybe they have good wifi at the airport to upload the rest of the videos

Thanks glad you liked it...hahah, I wish I could but I couldn't provide material for all the shows like he does, seeing how I neither have the time nor means to travel to every show...but hopefully in Europe next year I could do about 6 again like in 2022, well let's hope for the best

At Gillette, the Rolling Stones come out rocking with songs and a spirit that never get old

The Foxboro poster art missed the mark, but would have been cool if Dunks had a Stones commemorative donut this week.

I wanted to pop in this review of Foxboro. Doing this is more of a hobby than profession for me, like it used to be. It's amazing how small the press presence is at shows. When I covered the band's visits to Boston through the 90s/2010s for daily papers, you could count on several writers and photogs being present-- especially if the tour opener was in Boston. Granted arts coverage across the board has been slashed, but likewise many acts of the Stones' stature simply don't engage press like they used to.  But I still like doing it, so I do

Many thanks for that - and welcome

This one guy who always makes compilations of music videos to recreate the entire show did something else for once and put a great audio recording over the video clips for the Foxboro show! There are snippets of my own videos included there as well

I read that this audio recording actually is one of the best that emerged throughout the entire tour...some bootleggers have already used it to sell CDs of it...(why buy tho, if you can just download the YT vid xD)
