I think I next saw them there in the summer of ‘78, and it was still good, but not life changing. In the mid 90’s in Tampa, I think I wanted to nap as much as the band. It was slightly better than a good episode of Murder, She Wrote. . I was 16 when I went to that one in '78 and the floor was like Woodstock. I still remember the one guy's sign saying "Wanna OD? Come see me" 1 1
Buftex Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I saw them last summer in Houston (my 12th time since 1978), and they were still pretty damn good. Yeah, they are old, but they aren't dead. Every time I see them, I assume it will be the last time...but it looks like I have an Austin and Buffalo show in my future. My only real complaint about their shows is that with a catalog of close to 500 songs, it would be great to see them dig a little deeper for some deeper cuts. Satisfaction, Honky Tonk Woman and Jumping Jack Flash are amazing songs...but I would be fine if they didn't do them every time I see them. GIve me Time Waits For No One, or Slave...so many great songs....why limit it to pretty much the same 23-25 songs every night? 1
frostbitmic Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I saw them at Rich Stadium in September of '81 I believe, and then 2 months later at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse ... 39 years ago, God I'm old.

First time seeing them, and I’m actually not too excited about it. It was $1,500 for 4 upper bowl seats (mighty pricey for meh seats), and while their music is “fine”, I usually change the station when their songs come on. A good thread would be who would you MOST want to see, and I think my answer would be Van Morrison. THAT I would be excited about. The Eagles is something to do on a Friday night after dinner with friends. This Summer ,,, Incubus and 311
stuvian Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I went in 2015 and thought it was a great show. My only regret is that they didn't play Street Fighting Man. Do we know the range of ticket prices yet?

In 1989! Other "Rolling Stones are old" jokes I recall... Instead of panties, female fans throw Depends on stage. They changed the lyrics of "Get off of my Cloud" to"Get off of my Lawn."

The 78 show was the 4th of July, after the show we all went to my friend's beach house at Sunset Bay and partied all weekend. Good times indeed! 1

Guessing it probably has something to do with them pushing 80 and having spent the better part of the last 60 years frying their brains. They've got most of those 23 locked down but probably don't even remember 1/2 their catalog. :p.

Helpmenow Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I’ll be shocked if the stones play twenty tunes. Saw them at rich I think 97 bridges of Babylon tour

Helpmenow Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 I can predict what their going to play. No new cd not interested anymore. Have all the CDs, and dvds.
Rico Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Charlie Watts’ birthday is June 2nd, he will be 79 when he plays New Era. 1

Rico Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 There are some positives about the current set lists. The Keith set and Miss You make for a nice extended piss break. Also, you can get a head start on exiting traffic as soon as Gimme Shelter ends and Satisfaction begins. 1 1
Rico Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Oh yeah, the ticket pre-sale is going on now on TM. Password for Rolling Stones Fan Club tickets is RAINBOW
