I saw the show at the waldbuehne Berlin. It was my 21st Stones show since 1982. I had a seat quite near to the stage and I have to say, that it is the best venue I´ve been to since I saw the Stones. Simply fantastc. The show was absolutely high level. The Stones in top Form and enjoying themselves and the audience. Next to me some screaming very young girls... And I myself just enjoying, dancing and screaming as well. I didn´t like the 2003 and 2006 shows that much. So, if this was the last time: I keep them in very good memory. This show is one of my top 5. (Frankfurt 82, Berlin Olympic Stadium 90, Schuttdorf 95, Dusseldorf 98 and Berlin 2014) They indroduced me to Rock´n Roll and I still enjoy it.

I saw the band at Stockholm. It was a great experience as whole. They rocked the Tele2 Arena. I'm drunk now, but I'd still like to say (and I mean it too): I f*****g love this band.

And best on top: I grapped one of Charly's sticks. Never got one of those memorabilia in all the shows before. I kept the stick safely in my trouser,on the way back I showed it to a couple we knew from Circus Krone. It was them realizing that Charlie's name and autograph is on it. So happy!

Finally, I will add a comment from some young fans I was sitting next to on the "Tunnelban" back home from the Stockholm show. They were 5-6 "kids" age 25-35. I thibnk it must have been their first show. I was just listening, did not really talk to them. Then one of them said:
"You know, the Stones are not really that great as musicians, they are not great at all, but when they get together on stage, something magic happens. They just get fantastic, and they are the greatest band in the word."

yes the Stones get paid by the promoter whateverQuote

The tour was a complete financial success. That is clear without box office data. Unless this tour was handled differently, the Stones are paid a guaranty to deliver shows by the promoters. The Stones profit is guaranteed as long as they control expenses. The promoter books venues and prices tickets to ensure a profit. Since all shows sold out very quickly, it is highly likely that it was a successful one.
