"The final ticket count and a few other things:
When all is said and done, the band was only 3000 seats shy of a sell out. Not bad for theirm fifth time in Boston in about a year and playing way out in the boonies with no real public transportation.
Word from the crew is that the band does check SHIDOOBEE daily and that was one of the main reasons for the shake-up of the setlist. Also look for many different song selections for the upcoming US shows."

Here's a photo taken before they came on. That railing on the right side is the end of Mick's catwalk. I think the space just looks huge from where I was standing. Do you think it's similar to other stadium shows?

Wow! Now that's an eye opener. Seats appear to be a further 12-15' back than normal. Still beats Hershey where the seats were right up against the stage and you saw nothing unless they came out to the edge. You pick which would be worse. |

That's why we saw few empties! They added empty space at the front & at the back to give the illusion of a sell out. pretty funny! |

Good Lord! No offense to Shiddddoooobbbbbeee but they should read this board instead. Have the Shiiidddooobbbeeeans revealed what they thought of Lil T&A? They probably all loved it. The Stones need honesty, not sycophancy! |

Joshy, in all candor, the show was great fun. I've actually enjoyed most of what I've seen lately except for that first London show. That stank! |

I now completely understand why keith sticks to the ballads and slow tempo rockers..this is truly sad, offensive, vile, and everything we hoped wpould never happen to our heroes..I am so upset for Glencar, Throbster, Nellie, etc who had to see this first hand...god bles you all for putting on a brave face for all of us.. |

Did you hide during Keith's set? I just can't get over that Little T&A thing....that was inaudible crap!!! |

Oh, I'm not sorry I went. Never saw that angle until now. Came in from the back, went down the steps, and went up to my seat. I truly think that my second row seat in Hershey was a far worse rip off than being in the first row twenty five feet away from the stage. At least they saw everyone on stage.
I refuse to be negative or down in the dumps about Gillette. The Stones mixed it up, they took some chances. The setlist was a nice change for a stadium show. I was there and believe me I didn't leave feeling like it's the end of the Stones. |

Do you really want to make an analysis of the song based upon that extremely low quality one channel video. Let's hope we can get a high quality booleg to give the song the justice it deserves. |

Aside from Mick, "the band" are hardly able to turn on a computer. Can you seriously imagine Charlie Watts sitting in his hotel room logging on to Stones websites? Jesus. |

As predicted, they all loved it! I sure hope Keith doesn't read anything positive about that song. |

If it's not on the side of a vodka bottle chances are pretty good he will not see it. |

shit Keith could dock the Pirates ship in that space.
I feel bad for the fans that bought those "front row" seats
but I also feel bad for the band. Its gotta suck to go out onstage and have all the space between you and your audience. So disconnected.

I wonder why that was done, as the floor seats had already been sold, so all they accomplished was making less room in the back. The satge was not brought forward as it was all the way back and Section 128 was truly on the side of the satge. I wonder if it had to do with the fireworks and the new rules since the Providence tradegy. |
