Nice review. I got tickets for the show at Churchill Downs last week. They officially went on sale today and are all sold out except obstructed view. It'll be my first Stones show, and the first rock concert I'm aware of to be done at Churchill this way (they're setting up the stage to face the stands and setting up seats on the track.) ]]>

Great writing Mark! Sounds like lots of fun. The energy that Bruce evokes can't be beat though! Good to hear the Stones can still hammer it out! ]]>

Sounded like a cool gig, I wouldn't be enough of a fan to go and see them for any price beyond free, and they're one of those bands that can easily charge exorbitant rates for tickets and still fill a stadium to capacity. ]]>

i'd say it was about two hours. wish i'd been paying attention. not up to Bruce standards, but it didn't really feel short either. ]]>

Great review, Mark, and way to go with the seat upgrade! I've been a huge Stones fan forever (they were the first band I ever saw live, and I'm not going to tell you what year that was), and decided to skip this tour because of the ticket prices (and I'm too much of a spoiled brat to sit in the nosebleed seats). The setlist seems a bit short (well, by Bruce's standards, anyway) - how long were they onstage? ]]>

yep, i agree about the ticket prices, which is why i initially ended up in the cheap seats. won't complain about the ticket fairy visitation tho... ]]>

I am a huge Stones fan and would love to have seen them. Ticket prices were an issue for me. I like the set list you got. "Rocks Off" would have sent me over the edge. I like A Bigger Bang pretty well although I think (like Voodoo Lounge before it) the album is too long. ]]>

i snagged this bit from the tweeter center (outdoor music venue) website: Out of state licenses are acceptable only if the patron is at least 25 years of age and another form of identification (e.g., credit card) will be required if the patron is between 25 and 30 years of age. not sure of the reasoning behind this, or even exactly where it's applied. concert venues only? don't know. ]]>

Like the Duke...I'm not much of a Stones fan...sounds like it was a great concert though! What's the deal with your step son not being able to drink because he's not from MA? ]]>

Excellent! I don't think I'll ever be able to bear the price tag that comes with a Stones concert this century, but it sounds like it just might be worth it. ]]>

fantastic review, Sir Saleski. i never much dug the stones, nor the arena-rock-extravaganza, but nonetheless, the wit de Saleski enchants a fella as ever. ]]>
