Rolling Stones Tour 2015

Saw the Stones in Chicago, summer of 2013. Had great seats 2 rows from the tongue. Never stopped smiling. Energy from the band and crowd was contagious. Best cover band I ever seen.

I heard from a good source that the logistics of this tour almost didn't allow it to happen. They needed to make sure they would be able to get thier social security checks over to them while they are on tour. No easy task. No interest in seeing them in the 70s much less in thier seventies.

I've carried a fear of singing, "Let's Spend the Night Together," at the nursing home. Boomers had quite a run of power, and us-centric arrogance, but it's in eclipse, even as Mick's prance and sneer represents denial of its passing.
"Do not go gentle..." and all that.

As an event, it would probably be memorable, but as a recreation of past glory there's some sadness about it, even though Keith's playing is timeless.

There's also the tricky issue of handling all the walkers, oxygen tanks and colostomy kits as well as rounding up babysitters for the grandkids.

LOL, Geoff.
