It was that bad.
Stones fans around the globe are hanging their heads in shame and smashing themselves in the balls with their clock radios today.
Here is a small sample of words that came to mind seconds after the AMA(!) cut The Rolling Stones(!) off midway through a toothless IORR:
Lame
Clown-like
Tired
Nut shriveling
Embarrassment
$175-$450
Nebraska
Big tours no more.
I then went to sleep disgusted.
END.

THAT bad?

most of the performances this tour have been fantastic, i have been to four shows so far and heard numerous others. This was a low point and I am sure that Mick will be firing some production people and there will be a closed door meeting of some sort. MIck was humilated as he knew that the message boards would be flooding with posts involvind self mutilation and U2 comments. Sadly, young Joey will be selling his ticket to the Quest Center. |

we must all move on past this low point....every one trips and falls in front of a crowd at one point, it doesnt mean we cant walk, it just means we tripped! At least Jay Leno has new material now.
Sadly, i was too humiliated to wear a stones shirt to my office today, i had to dig out an old shirt from my Fraternity instead. |

Do you think this chapter in Stones history will rank up there with the Redlands bust, The Death of Brian and Altamont?
Time to move on brothers!
the sigma 6 quotient of potential Stones fans who were turned away from the light last night would be an insignificant statistic, not even within the margin of error for a Nielsen poll.
They stumbled, they are probably back up already. Keith and Ronnie are having a good laugh at Mick's expense.

" Bono brings a young girl on stage during Mysterious Ways, but rather than dance he picks her up and gives her a piggy-back ride around the ellipse. Stuck In a Moment is dedicated to Michael Hutchence; it's the 8th anniversary of his death. Patti Smith joins the band for Instant Karma again tonight, but the concert comes to an abrupt end at the end of the song for reasons unknown. Bono suddenly leads her off-stage, and the band stops the song to follow then. They come back out and try to restart the song, but it doesn't work and the band leaves again. The lights come on and the show is over. Some fans at the show say Smith looked like she was feeling ill on stage. "

If the numbers from the recent CMA awards are any indicator of 'award show viewership' these days, I think we can all start sleeping again.
If you're gonna suck, it might as well be in Utah. Or, as Chris Robinson used to joke, "We always blow the important gigs."

Slipped in the Rain Falling Down and went boom. Last night should never be spoken of again, RFD must never be played again, and a 3rd release of ABB is now required with RFD edited out.
I fell Joshy's humiliation! A sad day for real Stones fans!!! |

We must all credit Michael and more specifically Young Jake Cohl. The amount of walk up ticket sales generated by word of mouth and such fantastic information outlets as Rollingstones.com is amazing. The fan friendly/interactive website is not only offering innovative screensavers, email service, front tickets for an affordable nominal fee, behind the scenes virtual ticket, etc, but young Jake has the vision to post several reviews of the shows that will encourage folks to buy last minute tickets.
Case in point, yesterday afternoon I received an update from Rollingstones.com. This coincided with a show that had up to that point sold poorly. I was able to pull up several blocks of 8 tickets all over the stadium hours before. If many members of the fan club are like us (die hard fans), they immediately clicked the link and read the news on rollingstones.com, also seeing that the stones were playing that night and it was the place to be!
Sure, i am positive that some venues are papered to appear sold out, but the lines for tickets at such places as San Diego and Milwaukee are quite impressive. I had a vicious arguement with JB yesterday regaridng ticket sales. He feared the Salt Lake Venue would remain a non sellout. I told him that young Jake would not let that happen!
Boy was I right. The reason that the fans were not charged up like a crowd at MSG is because they were probably not big time fans and bought their tickets last minute due to innovative marketing.
I encourage all who have not yet, join the rs.com platinum fan club......it will be worth it just for the DVD alone! |

Look at the bright side...at least they didn't play Streets Of Love.
Seriously, how could this have turned out any different?
I knew they were gonna do a new song..and since they already did RJ, and Mick can't play BOMH very well live, I had it pegged as SOL.
SOL, or RFD, same difference. Play a lame song get a lame performance.
I'm glad I didn't watch it. Now I can honestly say that I didn't see it, and deny that it ever happened.
Sometimes the Stones make it REALLY hard to be a fan.
I picked up "Rarities" yesterday. As I was walking up to the counter to pay, I realized something...I already have all this stuff. Why am I paying $13.99 for it again? I put it back. I'll be skipping the "Deluxe" edition ABB as well. I don't like the album, and the DVD looks boring. Maybe I'll buy it after Xmas on eBay for $3.00. Still seems like a waste of 3 bucks though.... |

Well, I did buy Rarities. The booklet is full of mistakes. Horrible. As for RFD last night, it started horribly but did pick up towards the end. I have it on my PC but I don't know if I'll put it on DVD. |

The whole show sucked big time. The american awards shows, nowadays, are horrible, I used to think that the MTV awards during the 90's were shit but it was a glory if we compare with today shows. |

Damn, glad I missed it.
But sometimes they totally nail that song. Hope this doesn't discourage them from playing it again, its one of my favorites.
Listen to this killer version

you know everyone's frowning about how horrible the song was, but the show in whole was fucking amazing! come on. it was a great show. that one song sucked and what was horrible about it is that everyone in the world watched the one song that sucked and ranks Salt Lake as a horrible show all around. bull shit! if a bootleg comes out you listen and you'll love. |

Very disappointing- Iwas ready to spring for great seats in Chicago but now.......The whole "looseness" that we all love in the Stones has become sloppiness, bum notes, missed cues, etc. Even the way Keith starts IORR now just sucks. The song is like a parody of itself now. I listened to ABB twice-nothing remotely moves me. I haven't listened since. I will get Rarities 'cause I don't have everything on it. I do like the track list on Rarities, even though it's all been released before. |
