Best set list of recent shows, good to see Sway, Worried About You and Paint It Black all there. I'd still trade night time for Midnight Rambler though. |

Great setlist! Nice to see the opening song switch.
When did Keith pick up the new white ES-335?? Was it a gift? It seems a little decorative for touring...?
Was the sound good in Melbourne? How was the audience?
Who opened, Living End? Jet?
Cheers! |

"decorative"????
Its a fucking gorgeous guitar. Soap bar pick ups and a bigsby tremelo. Probably worth a lazy $10,000. |

Looks more like humbuckers than soap bars to me - but you're dead right about it being gorgeus. |

Friends and Neighbours,
What an amazing show.
I've heard the cliche "the atmoshere was electric" before, now I now it has real meaning.
I had the pleasure of being just in front of local Stones legend Jim Bob Young and his cohorts so I was in esteemed company.
At around 8:55pm there was such a buzz. When the houselights dimed, the drums started and the visuals fired up everyone was on their feet.
AND, THE FLOOR REMAINED ON THEIR FEET FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW !
Starting with 'Satisfaction', man I was in Babylon.
'Night Together', didn't see that coming but I am glad it did. 'She's So Cold', well excuuuuuse me. I'm thinking there and then that we are in for one helluva show.
Did I tell you the crowd was pumped?? Well, we were only warming up.
'Oh No Not You Again', I says to my wife, "honey these new songs kick", she doesn't hear me, it was damn loud.
'Sway'. In the words of a US President, READ MY LIPS, they played Sway. If I wasn't floating on air at that stage, I would have fallen over and done myself some damage.
'Worried About You' Baaaayybeeeeee !
'Ain't Too Proud To Beg' - by now I'm shaking my head in disbelief and I'm, thinking, Marshall, you can never have too much of a good thing.
Looking up from the floor, I had noticed that there was some guy in the back row of section 63 who up until now hadn't even tapped his big toe to the beat. 'Tumblin' Dice' finally had him see some sense and he was up dancing.
Lisa ruled during 'Night Time Is The Right Time', she got one helluva ovation.
Big cheers for Bobby. Charlie came out from behind the drums for his applause and Keef was visibly humbled by 11,000 devotees.
'Empty' and 'Happy', sorry, defies words.
'Miss You' - no short version, hey! whadthehell is the stage doing??
'Rough Justice', Get Off My Cloud' & 'Honky Tonk Woman' - three tunes spread over thirty years... I'm standing there thinking, their stuff is timeless... those three could have come from the same album.
'Sympathy' - was he wearing his Voodoo Tophat ?? I don't think he was... things are starting to get a little hazy...maybe too much of a good thing is a not so good afterall...
'Paint It Black' - MUCH, MUCH, MUCH BETTER on this tour.
'Start Me Up', oh yeah I'm thinking, they haven't done this yet.
'JJ Flash' - yeah it's a cool opening track but I kinda like it where it was tonight, up the end with it's timeless collegues 'Can't Always Get What You Want' and 'Brown Sugar'.
Anyone who even attempts to moan about tonight's show does not have a pulse. I would not have traded in any of those tunes for Shelter or Rambler.
I got 'Sway', I got 'Beg', I got 'Together' and I got 'Cold' - I along with 11,000 other fans were dealt a winning hand.
The boys did good (oh yeah, the sound was near perfect) and because of it, I will get the wife's permission to put a second mortgage on the house again next time they tour.
The Stones are just as relevant today as they were in 1963. They are living proof that rock is not just for the young, it is also for the young at heart.
In their late 50's and 60's the Rolling Stones continue to set the parameters for what defines a rock 'n' roll concert. This tour has just raised the benchmark another notch.
After the bombs have fallen and the ash has settled, two things will remain, cockroaches and The Rolling Stones.

Thankfully the band has been reading the Board. This is what hte setlists should look more like. I am just sorry the previous shows were so poorly planned!
COngrats to all who attended! |

This might be the show of the tour! Corgi, you made a huge mistake. One might call it "the biggest mistake of my life"! You are no longer king. You're the jester. |

Great review Marshal G!!!
It's always the same thing...we "armchair quaterback" and moan.
My guess is that 97% of attendants of EVERY show had similar feelings this Tour.
Europe......go out and BUY your tickets.

Any show without Rambler is second tier by definition! Any show without MR or GS is third tier by definition.
All the whinners who complained about Radio City because they dropped NT & MY should be happy here, but I would take 19 songs with MR and GS any day!!!
That said, still a good setlist. Better yet if they got 21 and substituted MR & GS for NT & MY. |

Interesting set. Some nice twists. The Chinese Government would approve!!

Satisfaction from Jumpin' Jack Flash
Cameron Adams, music writer
14apr06
ANYONE who has picked up a guitar since the mid-'60s owes a debt to the Rolling Stones.
In the one band you have the consummate rock frontman and the consummate rock star, who have each spawned countless imitators.
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have single-handedly written the how to, and the what not to do, bibles for rock 'n' roll.
Buying a ticket to see the Rolling Stones this year is buying a ticket to witness genuine living rock legends.
Sure there's a handful of new songs from their we've-got-our-mojo-back return to form album A Bigger Bang rubbing shoulders with the classics to stop their umpteenth world tour becoming a total nostalgia-fest.
But the Stones know exactly why people pay what it takes, as quickly as it takes to see them.
They boast a back catalogue of timeless, era-defining rock classics that are instantly identifiable before Jagger even opens his famous mouth.
Their Rod Laver Arena show last night may be what passes for intimate in their super-sized "because we can" world tour. It's also a rare and personal glimpse at the world's first stadium rock band.
Forget reluctant rock stars or shoe-gazing dullards: the Stones are showmen.
They managed to bring most of their outdoor stadium set-up and shoehorn it into their indoor show for the Rod Laver Arena as opposed to the 80,000-seat-plus venues they have played so far on their world tour.
A giant video screen and hydraulic stage, which moved from the front to the back of the arena, cleverly gave front-row seats to fans at the back for a set that included Miss You, Get Off My Cloud and Honky Tonk Woman.
Impressively, the Stones changed their set list from their outdoor Sydney show on Tuesday.
Their only Melbourne show opened with the triple whammy of Satisfaction, Let's Spend the Night Together and She's So Cold.
The two-hour set heaved with hits Tumbling Dice, Paint It Black, Sympathy for the Devil, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash and Start Me Up.
Long-time Stones fan Tanya Miles flew from Hobart for the Melbourne show.
"I thought their 2003 Australian tour would be the last time we'd see them play here, so when this tour was announced I made sure I got tickets," she said.
"They still sound so amazing and look so fit. I hope they just keep on going. I can't wipe the smile off my face."
Special mention must go to Warrnambool rockers Airbourne, who had the daunting and thrilling chance to open for the Stones. Their back-to-basics pub rock adapted easily to the arena.
The Stones leave Melbourne today for two shows in New Zealand. |

My sister went to both shows and said it was really hard to choose one show over the other; despite the crap crowd in Sydney, the Stones played the songs really really well, but here she said they stuffed up quite a bit here. She thought Brown Sugar was played a lot better in Sydney (despite having no Bobby Keys) because Mick comes in singing at the wrong time and was a little off. And she thought Keith may have been a "little wasted" to quote her. But she liked that. She thought it was cool to see them in a much smaller arena and see them as 'people' rather than the otherworldly feel you got in Sydney.
So in my opinion, both shows seemed good but I'm still content with me going to the Sydney show only because people might complain about the setlist, but really it's about how they play the songs and whether they are having fun playing the songs. Not to say playing obscure/less played tracks are bad; far from it.

oh my god !
what a freaking show
When I saw the small keyboard being brought out I nearly died !
WORRIED ABOUT YOU !!!!!!!!
it was farken unbelievable
plus Shes So Cold, Sway, AINT TOO PROUD TO BEG !!!!
The band were so on, and this was THE greatest crowd i have rocked with.
Pretty much EVERY dude was up all night
and NO-ONE sat down at all during Keefs set, it was amazing to see everyone standing during TPIE
sorry to say it corgi baby, but this was even better than Sydney.
BrownSugar was a total train wreck, Micks ear piece was playing up and he came in at the wrong time twice, the band kept drudging along. It was great to watch, Mick sauntered over to Chuck to get back in time. A lesser band would have stopped and restarted , but not our boys.
Only downside on the night was that bearded tinkler Chuck tossing out picks on the B stage .. wtf was that ?
get back on your keys and stay at the back.
Oh yer the sound - ALL GUITARS !!!
and Bobby was back.
and i ended up on the big screen !
I saw the cameraman working the crowd, as he hit me i looked right down the lens and was shaking my groove thang .. next sec everyone around me is yelling and shrieking, I was on the freaking screen, full tight heads hot .. going off my nut.
wooot !

heres a post from shidoobee :
My seventeeth show and after the noise problems in Sydney, I'm happy and proud to say it was possibly the best stones show I've ever seen. Many things make a good show, seating position, sound, set list, crowd and tonite it all came together. Even the monumental fuck up in Brown Sugar was proof that The Stones are a real band of humans and shit happens and 'we will get ourselves out of it' and they did. Anyway, She So Cold seems to have been rehearsed a bit from earlier versions I've seen and was the ancient art of weaving personified. Then I truly, honestly shed a tear as Keith came out with the zermatis skull guitar and did a killer version of Sway and if that wasnt enough, the next song was worried about you... game over. I nearly left then and could have died a contented stones fan. The sound was crystal clear and Ronnie was on fire although after a great start to the solo in Worried About You, he did meander and lost the key phrasing. The band seemed to be really enjoying themselves although Jagger seems to be a bit testy with Keith at times especially the beginning of Worried About You where Keith seemed to come in a little early and Jagger gave him a few 'what the hell' looks. Further evidence of them enjoying themselves, the end of Ain't too Proud to Beg went on for a while with an extended Keith solo after which he was seen to jokely apologise to Chuck for going on too long. Overall I am so happy I'm now speechless. Tonight and with Soldier Field, Chicago last Sept, the best two Stones shows I've seen.
P.S. And Bobby was back for Brown Sugar solo.
