This is of course the first of two shows at this venue, although it was the second one to be announced, following the quick sellout of the 8th October show.
Considering the fact that its a remote city of under 200,000, for the Stones to sell out two stadium shows (35-40,000 each show) there is perhaps one of their biggest accomplishments, sales-wise, of the entire tour.

It will be interesting to see how much of a setlist change the 2nd show will have. |

I'm sure there will be a change up, since many will be attending both shows. The people of Regina will be blessed. The only two Stones shows of their lives, with diffent sets (at least the first nine songs).
The people of Regina deserve it for the rapid sell out of the first show.

Article from the above Star Phoenix :
'Start me up': Rock 'n' roll excess, done to perfection
Cam Fuller, The StarPhoenix
Published: Saturday, October 07, 2006
http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/story.html?id=39fe3162-408b-421c-9318-243b52a678d7&k=67049
REGINA -- It was the Concert That Ate Regina, and never has there been such a willing victim.
The lure of fame, the lure of history, the lure of nostalgia and the lure of rock 'n' roll's glorious excess proved irresistible to 45,000 feverishly excited concert-goers Friday night at Mosaic Stadium. The site of countless passes over the years -- referring to Mick Jagger, of course -- was enough to make Highway 11 one long line of cars by 3 p.m. Friday, speeding in unison and panic-braking when the RCMP speed trap popped up south of Chamberlain.
Time was on the side of those who left early. Parking spots close to the stadium cost $10. Security was on the lookout for anything illegal. Trying to smuggle a peanut butter sandwich and a disposable camera would have made you public enemy No. 1.
Everyone feared snow when the October date was announced -- we like to assume the worst in Saskatchewan -- but the night couldn't have been more perfect. The air was warm and as the sun set a spectacular full moon rose overhead. Then came a cheer as two Snowbirds jets made smoke-billowing passes overhead.
Three Days Grace had the traditionally thankless job of opening. The Ontario quartet's brand of rage rock -- I Hate Everything About You was their breakthrough hit -- wasn't a great choice to start. Too much angst, not enough melody. Other cities get Van Morrison or the Dave Matthews Band.
After a one-hour intermission to gather moss, the crowd rose as one to greet the Stones. Suddenly, all the hype, all the "greatest band in the world" boasting seemed somehow . . . reasonable.
By the second note of Jumping Jack Flash, Mick and the band were at full-speed and cruising along as if they'd already been on stage an hour.
The energy, the confi dence and the joy of simply playing were truly impressive.
Everything you wanted to see -- without even knowing you did -- was there: Mick's tip-toe strut, Ron Wood's hawk-like guitar pose, Keith Richards' headband (the original pirate Jack Sparrow) and the fastidious Charlie Watts, glassed and roofed in with his drums like a mall kiosk employee.
There was no going through the motions of songs, not with the full complement of backing players -- three singers, four-man horn section, two keyboards, bass. The sound was amazingly full and balanced for an outdoor show.
And to complete the picture, a massive seven-storey set which looked a bit like a drab parking structure by day. At night, however, it held two fl oors full of those holding the most expensive tickets. And it glowed with a multitude of lights. A huge video screen occupied the centre. Some 60 kilometres of wiring hooks the show together -- and you had trouble fi guring out your home theatre. With Regina's downtown in the background, it made for a spectacular sight.
Delivered in perfect irony was the second song, It's Only Rock and Roll. Several new songs from the Bigger Bang album made the list, starting with Oh No Not You Again.
Everything sounded good, particularly an opera-length version of Midnight Rambler which seemed improvised and polished all at once. That's what 249 years of combined experience does for you. Bootleggers are going to love this one.
As a bonus, the band even knew where they were. "The city that rhymes with fun," joked Mick. Oh that scamp. "I want to thank you so much for making us feel so welcome here," he said. The fresh air was taking effect by the time the band introductions came around. Jagger introduced Wood as "The Prairie Dog Ron Wood." He even mentioned the Riders! The show's mid-point was marked by a platform ride which took the guys to midfi eld for a sensational mini-set of Miss You, Rough Justice, Get Off of My Cloud and Honky Tonk Woman. A serious sing-along broke out at that point, and the joy and thrill of the crowd was incredible.
A huge inflatable lips and tongue welcomed the boys back to the main stage, and the concert concluded with the massive hits Sympathy for the Devil, Start Me Up, Brown Sugar, Can't Always Get What You Want and, before a mini fi reworks show sent the crowd away buzzing, Satisfaction.
Sunday's concert-goers have a lot to look forward to as these exiles on Scarth Street spend a day recuperating. Our sister city will be lording this one over us for some time to come.

From the Leader Post :
A bigger bang?: Hard to imagine!
Gerry Krochak, The Leader-Post
Published: Saturday, October 07, 2006
http://www.canada.com/reginaleaderpost/news/story.html?id=675b2742-997b-4a24-8373-9c6c48e42128&k=57849
Oh, Baby! Maybe it's only rock and roll ... but they loved it!
Nearly four months of fevered anticipation became fulfilled ten-fold when the (inhale) "World's Greatest Rock And Roll Band" (exhale) invaded Mosaic Stadium for the first of two Thanksgiving weekend shows on Friday night in Regina.
On a perfect evening that you hoped would never end, it felt apropos that the Rolling Stones, honest to goodness rock and roll royalty, would finally give the Queen City the concert experience of a lifetime. The electrifying atmosphere created by the band, the stage, the lights, the sound, the pyrotechnics, some of the greatest songs in the history of rock and roll, and, oh yes, 45,000 delirious fans made for an evening that not one of them will ever forget.
The excitement inside the home of the Saskatchewan Roughriders was dizzying and contagious in ways that are almost indescribable. Wave upon wave of young and old, men and women, boys and girls, teens and tweens, hardcore fans and curious onlookers, from near and far existed as one unstoppable sea of humanity ready to sing, dance, scream and shout as perhaps the greatest event in the city's 104-year history unfolded before them.
Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Mick Jagger would not disappoint -- they never do. At a combined age of 249 years there is still not a band that can touch the Stones on a live concert stage. In fact, it's a long way down to No. 2.
A spirited "wave" which began a full 10 minutes before show time turned into a hair-raising roar as the lights went down, fireworks shot off from the top of the eight-storey metal monstrosity, the giant video screen lit up with a stunning array of images and colours and our heroes finally appeared; Richards peeling off the opening riff of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" from the group's landmark 1968 album Beggars Banquet, as Jagger pranced, pouted and preened towards the front of the stage.
UNBELIEVABLE!
The first moments of a Rolling Stones concert are the moments that rock and roll dreams are made of. We have waited forever for this and the 45,000-strong seemed suspended in disbelief as Wood bounced around the stage to begin "It's Only Rock And Roll (But I Like It)," while Jagger, resplendent in a long-sleeved plum-coloured shirt, black sequined jacket and black jeans, gestured to the crowd and filled the home of one Piffles Taylor with the lyrics from one of rock and roll's greatest stadium anthems.
Although the stage production was over the top in every way imaginable, the vast lighting rig, pyrotechnics and multi-media production never overshadowed the deft rhythmic touch of Richards, the scorching leads of Woods, the rock-steady beats of Watts and the oft-imitated, but never duplicated, showmanship of Jagger.
You just know that songs such as "Oh No Not You Again," "Let's Spend The Night Together," "Streets Of Love" and "Bitch" would sound as good (even better) in a dingy bar as they did on the largest concert stage ever assembled.
The set list was a fan's dream come true. After teasing the crowd, playfully egging on, "The city that rhymes with fun," and wishing the Roughriders well on Monday, Jagger broke into some stellar harmonica playing to open a drop-dead rendition of "Midnight Rambler" from perhaps the group's greatest album, '69s Let It Bleed.
As the adrenaline continued to flow throughout the crowd, the band really began to pour it on with "Tumblin' Dice," featuring a four-piece horn section led by veteran tenor saxman Bobby Keyes as well as terrific backing vocals from Lisa Fisher and Bernard Fowler.
After band intros and raucous cheers for Ronnie and Charlie, the fans went berserk as rock's ultimate survivor Keith Richards grinned and stepped up to the microphone to greet the "Ladies ... and gentleman, I presume. I really shouldn't be here ... but such is life."
Some people chose to take a leak when Richards stepped up to the microphone for a two-song lead vocal on "You Got The Silver" and "Little T&A." Their loss: although Jagger is the brains of the operation, Richards will always be the heart and soul of the Rolling Stones.
The gnarled guitarist still has rhythm shooting through his hands and he set the tone for the second half of the evening. Bassist Darryl Jones broke into the coolest bass line in the Stones' arsenal on "Miss You" from '78s Some Girls, as a portion of the stage broke away and followed a makeshift bridge past centre field where the best seats in the house became the worst -- and vice versa!
From there, the boundless energy of Jagger ignited the cheap seats through "Rough Justice," "Get Off Of My Cloud" and the closest thing the Stones get to country and western with "Honky Tonk Women," which featured a giant inflatable lips and tongue flapping from main stage in the gentle Prairie breeze.
The band floated back from the makeshift lily pad in the middle of Mosaic Stadium and ended with an awesome flurry that sent the crowd bonkers. From a stage bathed in red lights and flames during "Sympathy For The Devil," the group then delivered "Start Me Up," "Brown Sugar" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" to end a two-hour main set that seemed to fly by in the proverbial wink of an eye.
Even though 45,000 got everything they could possibly want and more, the band encored with, of course, "Satisfaction" -- 41 years later still one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever written.
The crowd roared long and loud as the band took a well-deserved bow with smiles all around.
There was something special in the air last night and even the most seasoned concert performers knew it.
And the best news from a night that the massive throng all wished would never end ... is that we get to do it again Sunday. The set list will be much different, but how could it be any better?
See you there!

Based on the glowing press reports..I doubt Sunday setlist will change much....Sounds like the boys delivered the goods again!..Wish these writers would do their homework though....JJF was not on Beggars...just like Sway was not on Exile....Always found it strange that only The Stones would have a landmark tune like JJF and it really was not on a new album at all when released! |
