My review: Mick's voice sounds nothing like 73 or 78 in my opinion. It's thiner, has almost no growl, but he uses it extremely well and reaches high notes which he's not reached in years or ever - very impressive and enjoyable. As for his dancing and body language, I thought he was more relaxed, less forced than on the previous three shows (based on poor youtube vids), and therefore excellent.

Yes, Ronnie was brilliant! Very creative and hot on the fills and licks and tweets and twists and turns, I love his style when he's on.

2 songs in: Ronnie plays insanely hot stuff on UMT and Whip, never heard him so fired up, brilliant! His peculiar style, his crazy funkiness shines through, I'm loving it!

All this of course does not mean that those who loved the show should now throw their memories away! I remember having a similar experience when listening to the wonderful concert of Ken Boothe in Paris, years ago: the concert was amazing, a truly priviledged moment, but on tape it sounded awful. I agree with stoneage that not having to run around surely benefits Jagger. On stadium shows, if y

Guitar department is great? I hear no intro that isn't shaky. The basic riffs - SMU, HTW - are fine and groovy, but JJF, TD, the intro to Dance, the solo on WAY I find very poor. ENSTL sounds like any patchy pub band... I don't believe Jagger is being "carried" by the band at all. There are many shows from this era when you'll hear him go "Come on Ronnie" or whatever and t

Also on CYHMK: he goes for the "CAN'T you hear" fearlessly, breaks his voice in the process. One gets the feel that this performance was ment to stay: it's not just Jagger-to-watch but Jagger to listen to. Very, very hot. As for the band: whatever we say about the sidemen, they form one hell of a band - the break of Dance pt1 is amazingly good, drums and whistles and voices, surely t

It's one of these rare nights when the Jag sings the high note on HTW chorus, for instance. Great version, too.

A generous fan has uploaded the soundboard recording of Cirkus Krone; what a night for Jagger! I think one of the most amazing performances I've heard from him. That's how strong, Stray Cat, even tired war horses like BS: he's really SINGING and Rocking like a powerfouse. Loved it! But the guitars, dear me, what a pity - they ruin the night and I guess that's why we got Olympia and not Krone on F

Quotedrbryant I don't have anything against the band playing private shows. In many ways, it's somehow suitable for the digital age. It recalls the days of the Troubador, going from town to town, playing for his living. Handel would have never written Water Music if he wasn't being paid by King Whatever the Whatever to prepare a performance on barges floating past his majesty. Remember that ol

Quotejohn lomax Ticket prices are as high as the market will bear. If they are too high, then people won't pay. But it looks like plenty of people are prepared to pay those prices, and so I think that the Stones and their promoters hVe judged the market well. I wish prices were lower, but thats life.

Disliked it at first, love it now. And the amazing thing: it's actually the LYRICS that made me love it - now when was the last time this was the case? The lyrics and Jagger's fabulous delivery. Favourite line: "Hear a funky noise? It's the tightening of the screws" Brilliant!

So I'll contradict myself now. Aside from the obvious fact that to put out 2 songs every five years is not quite enough to say that a band is "working", I actually think that Doom & Gloom (which left me cold at first) tops anything on Tempest by a dozen miles. The lyrics are just so much fun! "Lost all the treasure in an overseas war, just goes to show you don't get what you
