Woke up yesterday morning, I knew "something" was in the air...
I had ABB blasting in my office, then I recalled "The Stones are but a few hours away from me..."
I checked ebay, had some possibilities.
I consulted with Luxy & Throbby for some 411 on Giants Stadium, having never been there...
The decision was made, come hell or high water, I was going to be in Giants Stadium tonight..
Got my work done, dashed home, packed a cooler of hooch for the 4 hr + ride, off like a prom dress for Giants Stadium..
Of course, hit sub tropical downpours, ugly traffic, however, got there in time to meet up with everyone in the photo above right at 8P.
Traded notes with Jizz about the Sox, yeah, I was getting a ton of crap from Yankee fans, however, last I checked Sox are still in 1st place.
Lights dimmed, off to the races...
4th show of the tour for me, what a difference three weeks makes with this band.
Yeah, you get the occasional screwups, however, we are talking 60+ folks playing fast music, deal with it, It's The Stones...
Highlights..Christ, no lowlights!
Don't give me the setlist whine schmattah...These songs work
SMU=out of the shoot, Jagger with the Silver outfit..
YGMR=Contrary to some viewpoints, this song works HARD..
Shattered..Yeah, they did not forget it this time..
Dice=Woody circa '75, great leads
RJ=This is nailed down tight, Woody is spiraling on slide
RT=It's a keepah, and the band knows it..
Heartbreaker=I've seen it twice now, even JB likes it
Nightime=Does Ray Charles proud. Lisa brings down the house with this numbah..Good fills at the end with gitars
Worst=Keith like a balladeer, smooth
Infamy=this is one of the better songs of Keith's arsenal
B STAGE ACTION.......
Miss You=Don't need anything but the stripped down band for this classic Stones groove..B stage gets anchored, some chicks in front of me have a sign for Mick, he flashes up his shirt for them, now THEY are finished...
ONNYA=Mashin up my life, B stage gitar action, all rocking hard..
SSC=Until this numbah, when they rocked even harder..
HT=Great country feel, laid a divorcee in NY City..
OOC=What a friggin pissah tune. It peaks and dips, circles & spins. Great song live..
SFTD=Action picks up, great effects, Keith soars..
JJF=opening chords set the stage for a wild ride by Keith
BS=yeah, started out crazy, redeemed in the end by Bobby K.
Satisfaction=I could envision this as a opening numbah, from the B stage, towards the end. Never Grows Old..
YCAGWYW=Straight out of LIB, Keith has 60K in Giants eating out of his hands..
IORR=The only real nod to Chuck Berry you will hear from the modern day Stones. To see Woody, Jagger, Keith at the end standing together says it all..
Some notes...
Saw Lorne Michaels twice walk by me, I shoulda put a SNL Stones appearance plug in, dammit!
This place is huge...as well as easy on security..
I've said it once, will say it again, get to the B Stage whenever possible. You will not be dissapointed..
Woody is a player this tour, not a bystander
His leads on any given number are with passion, add to or give any song HIS feeling. Such a joy to see him on game..
What can anyone say about Keith, Charlie, Jagger, always giving 300%...
Whenever Bobby K drops that solo during BS, I get the chills, this is the cat who played on it 1st, and as if it's 1971 right now...
Someone put out a MIA on Chuck L. He's there, he's the musical director, and that's about it..
Thanks to Luxy & Throbby for hooking me up with a ticket..
Rocks Off has it's own Glimmer Twins...
Great to meet Riffhard, he's Wicked Pissah!
JB was primed and ready for action
Caught many of the Shidobee crew @ 16A, Doug holding court
LJ, turn your cell on once in a while, will you?
So, let's see, show got over @ 11P, out to the lot, see off Luxy & Throbby, couple of beers, get out of the lot at 1230A
Over the GW by 130A, slept for 90 min at a McDonalds with all them truckahs..walked into my house in the Peoples Republic of Mass @ 6A...
Ready to Rock now!
I'd do it all again in a minute...It was the balls
Luxy, you got three hours, lucky you....
Probably my last show of '05, but....you never know...
B STAGE......B STAGE.....B STAGE......B STAGE.....B STAGE...

Thanks for thinking of me.

CHEERS to Rocks Off---it was great spending some time with the gang both nights
Hey, nobody mentioned yet that the band did Sway during the soundcheck at MSG.. It needs a little more work but I'm sure they'll be breaking it out....

Albany will be the gig where they try out some "new" stuff--the critics arent so harsh in the boondocks. I'll let you know on SUnday. Well, maybe throbby will. I can never remember any details of the show--just the experience. |

Hey there,
New to the board, saw my first stones show last night. I also write a reviews for a website, glidemagazine.com and I wrote one for the show. I was wondering if I could post these Pics from Throbby on that website.
Please post if I can, thanks.

What an AWESOME setlist...so many surprises...how do they make it so effin' special, night after night?!? What a cool way to START the night, with START ME UP!!! Do you think they planned it that way or just kinda made it up on the spot?!?
They ARE the world's greatest $Rock-n-Roll$ band!!! |

Havn't seen them on this tour yet...they don't arrive here until the first week of Oct...other than that...every tour since 79 |

Opinions are fine and dandy.
It gets old after it's been repeated so much since the tour started.
Moldy, needs an OSHA condemnation.
See & enjoy the power & fury
SSC on the B Stage, pulease, you had to be there
That was killer.
Enjoy it, when you are there, it is not a buzz killer..
A little off topic, but..
Truly, by the way, is a great song.
Mac has reissued a longer version with Woody & Keith trading slinky reggae leads, you should pick it up, if you want variety.
Where you say?
www.macspages.com, look for Here Comes Trouble! |

79 at the capital theatre in passaic nj...they even parked 2 busses on my cousins property...2 blocks away!!!
I would love
to hear Truly!!
Also... I AM pumped to see them here in DC and Charlottesville...I am on guestlist for both shows and honestly would have seen them at least here in DC w/o the priveledge...its' gonna be the world premiere of Sweet Neo Con, and I cant wait!!! |

Hell yeah. Out On Bail is the boot from that, right?
That was a great show. It was summer of '78 though, not 79. I caught 'em in Buffalo, Rich Stadium that tour, however, the show you note was a theatre, really special.
So there you go, remember how you got Love In Vain every single nite? No big deal, the Stones are used to same sets, this tour is no different. Licks was the tour where things got shaken up, so that's probably the reason more folks are expressing your initial response of not shaking things up..Really, you see them in the current unit, it's all gitar driven, the background folks are just that.
BTW, as I was leaving last night, I put in Ya-Ya's.
It would be great if they played Love In Vain this tour... |

I called a friend Nelly...and you are right...78...which throws things off a bit in my head as far as historcal references to a few events in my life...oh well...
Anyway...you might want to check the setlist I came up with under another tread...I will cut and paste it in a sec,,,I think it takes a bit from most of their eras and has a few warhorses and a few rare jems as well as the new stuff...check it out and let me know what you think!! |
