First-timer here... Outstanding show this evening in Pittsburgh. Mick and the boys still have it! (No big surprise there, right?) Wish I could do it all over again... What a performance! I've been to probably 50 Pirate games at PNC Park, but have NEVER had as much fun there as the wife and I did tonight! Rock on, Stones fans! ...Mark |

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette :
Rolling Stones rock their fans inside and out PNC Park
By Gabrielle Banks and Ed Masley, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Thursday, September 29, 2005
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05272/579713.stm
While top-dollar ticket holders awaited the arrival of the Rolling Stones last night inside a packed PNC Park, another party got going on the streets and sidewalks and riverbanks outside the stadium, among hundreds of Stones fans who did not pay a penny for the privilege.
Rock fans without tickets spread picnics on the sloping lawns outside the outfield stands and sipped beers stretched out on yoga mats on the Clemente Bridge. The guitar strains of the Stones and Pearl Jam, the opening act, carried across the rivers and could be heard as far away as Mount Washington.
More than 100 boats anchored on the Allegheny River by the stadium, including a group of about 20 children and two chaperones who paddled up in a canoe.
The Rolling Stones came in promising "A Bigger Bang," and that's exactly what they delivered in a performance that kicked off with fireworks, outer-space video images and flames shooting out of the floor as the band tore into "Start Me Up."
They stayed in trashy rock mode for the first few songs -- "You Got Me Rocking," "She's So Cold" and "Tumbling Dice" -- as Mick Jagger worked the crowd in gold lame, looking sharp and moving like a frontman half his age -- assuming any frontman half his age could hope to move that way.
And when they reached into "A Bigger Bang," their most exciting new release in more than 20 years, for a raucous "Rough Justice," they rocked even harder, displaying a youthful abandon that flew in the face of those premature rumblings about the band's advancing years.
Sam Amata was glad he drove in for the show from Cleveland, even though he'd seen the band Saturday night in Columbus.
"You never know when they're gonna come back intact," he said. "Or at all."
"They inspire me, seeing them running and jumping around like that. It makes me think it might not be so bad when I hit that age," said Amata, 52.
"What's old? I plan to rock 'n' roll until they put the lid down," said Patti Fine, who was 13 when she saw her first Stones concert in 1964. "Look at this place. There's young. There's old. There's middle-aged. They're obviously doing something right."
That something right included dusting off "Paint It Black;" inviting Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder back to join in on "Wild Horses;" a suitably raucous performance of "Rocks Off" and spirited takes on such overplayed staples as "Sympathy for the Devil," "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "It's Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It)," "Jumpin Jack Flash" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Midway through the set, they rolled a portion of the stage out to the middle of the crowd for "Miss You," another great new rocker called "Oh No Not You Again," "Get Off My Cloud" and "Honky Tonk Women" as a giant inflatable tongue with flowers on it stood in for the band on stage.
This being a stadium show, they brought along a huge production, including two metallic columns of balconies flanking the stage where fans could pay a premium to look down on the show from a really strange angle. But they could have done the same set on an empty stage without detracting from the entertainment value.
Like Pearl Jam's set, for example. Strolling on stage with a bottle of red wine, Vedder told the crowd, "I guess it's our job to get you guys in the mood." But judging from the crowd reaction, Pearl Jam's spot on the bill was far from your typical opening-for-the-Stones scenario.
They had people standing and singing along for almost their entire 60-minute set, a scissor-kicking explosion of punkish abandon and guitar heroics that featured impassioned performances of such modern rock radio staples as "Better Man," "Daughter," "Jeremy" and "Evenflow," which emerged as an epic behind-the-head guitar jam.
And if Vedder's heart was more invested in the newer songs, you never would have known from the intensity he poured into "Alive" and "Jeremy," which he followed by joking, "All right, here's another teen death song for you" as a setup for the band's hit version of the doo-wop classic "Last Kiss."
Other covers ranged from "Rockin' in the Free World" to John Lennon's Nixon-era blast at uptight politicians, "Gimme Some Truth."
So yeah, they did their job. In fact, it's hard to picture many bands that could've followed their opening set. But we're talking the Stones here. Jagger may be looking older than he did in 1964, but the Stones are still working the stadium circuit for a reason. And it goes beyond their alarmingly youthful frontman. Charlie Watts remains the greatest argument for understated drumming in a rock 'n' roll band, while the other "frontmen," Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards, did exactly what a Stones fan would have wanted them to do on lead guitar, trashing their way through countless variations on those old Chuck Berry licks with Richards tearing it up in particularly raucous fashion on "It's Only Rock and Roll."
"If they lost anything, I don't notice it, because I've lost more," Amata said.
Outside the stadium, Greg Joyce had organized 27 friends and three dogs from the All-States Marina in Glenfield to help celebrate his 46th birthday. Sitting barefoot on a bar stool on the Riverwalk and sipping a beer, Joyce explained that he took a half-day off work to land a choice spot for his house boat.
Perched atop a stairway to the Riverwalk, Erika May, a recent Carnegie Mellon University graduate, strummed Stones and Pearl Jam tunes on a steel-stringed guitar and even made a little money for her efforts.
Although they were outside the big event, many of the Stones fans said they had planned to attend the concert this way since it was first announced.
"Two hundred bucks for a ticket? They've got to be out of their minds," said Jack Fossett. |

From thePittsburgh Tribune Review :
Stones fans get what they need
By Mike Wereschagin
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, September 29, 2005
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/trib/regional/s_379013.html
Sure, many in the crowd were, well, older. A few fans, wearing shirts festooned with disembodied red mouths, meandered around PNC Park with the aid of canes and walkers.
But as Mick Jagger himself says, "We all need someone we can lean on."
The North Shore swelled Wednesday afternoon with thousands of Rolling Stones fans of varying ages and social classes. New BMWs and rusted vans packed parking lots, where parties began mid-afternoon. Sidewalks teemed with teenagers and people who looked old enough to be Keith Richards.
For a few hours, they acted as if they were all about the same age.
"We've been Rolling Stones fans since we were 12," said Cindy Glass, 53.
"And we're even wearing purple underwear," said her friend, Lorena Knott, 50. They and a third companion, Margaret Komorek, 63, drove from Sharon, Mercer County, for the show.
Pearl Jam opened for the Stones, drawing hordes of young fans to a show headlined by rockers old enough to be grandfathers. Most college-age concert-goers could afford only the cheap seats, though. Ticket prices ranged from $75 to more than $400.
"We're in the peanut section," said Shauna Cortazzo, 23, of Irwin. "We're going to rock out in peanut heaven."
About 10 years before Cortazzo was born, Bill Coleman went to his first Rolling Stones concert in Pittsburgh.
"I think it cost me $15," said Coleman, of Imperial. Yesterday, only infants' T-shirts sold for that little. "It's not the ticket price that bothers me, though. It's the parking."
The price of concert parking raised more than a few eyebrows, especially the $50 fee charged at a lot across from PNC Park.
Because Coleman, 54, came in a massive motor home, he paid for four spaces -- $200, just to park.
"It's unbelievable," said Tony Bianco, 34, while standing outside his brother's 1980 Volkswagen Vanagon parked in the same lot. The pair took the VW, festooned with dancing bear stickers of Grateful Dead fans, from their homes near Sharon. By the time they arrived -- about six hours early, in order to make chili before the show -- they'd already shelled out $275 each for their tickets.
"We're both married with kids. So we figured, what the hell," Bianco said of the high-priced day, as speakers balanced atop the van's sliding side door sent Stones songs rolling across the parking lot. The two have been Rolling Stones fans since childhood, said Bianco, a financial planner in Hermitage.
It wasn't just parking companies who've taken notice of the deepening pockets of some Stones fans. Eckert Seamans set up a white tent in one corner of the VIP lot where its clients could mingle around tall tables with rose-bouquet centerpieces. Mercedes Benz used the tour to promote its new R-Class vehicle, which looks like a cross between a mini-van and a sedan, that is set to go on sale in March.
Drivers didn't have to go far to find better rates than those at the VIP parking lot. Other stadium lots were priced at $25, while spaces at Allegheny Center were $20. The best deal might have been at the Pittsburgh Parking Authority garage just across the Clemente Bridge at Fort Duquesne Boulevard and Sixth Street, Downtown. Customers paid a flat $5 for the night.
"There's a choice for everybody, but if you want to be right next to PNC Park, you're going to pay the most," said Merrill Stabile, president of Alco Parking Corp. Steelers fans with season parking leases pay $30 a game to park in some North Shore lots.
Undercover city narcotics detectives were busy roaming the parking lots before the concert watching for signs of illegal drug activity.
Seven people were arrested on charges such as drug possession and possession with intent to deliver narcotics, city police Lt. Robert Roth said.
Officers confiscated cocaine, heroin, LSD and drug-laced mushrooms from the seven, Roth said.
For those who might wonder why someone would shell out hundreds of dollars for a few hours of loud music, concert-goers who parked next to the stadium scrawled an answer in soap on a mini-van's windows:
"It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it." |

| the worst kinda guy |
that's the reason i won't attend a show. the ticket prices are way too high. someone with a motor home paid 200.00 just to park ? nothing more than a ripoff as far as im concerned.
if you have the money to attend shows , enjoy. i have the money but won't pay high prices. |
