Hyde Park I Aftermath

Wow! Hyde Park! The Rolling Stones live!

From looking at the show by using the few streams we got, it must have been another blast and really goog show. Right from the beginning of this tour, I had the impression of some added energy, verve and tghtness by the band, Keith in particular seemes to play faster, with more variants and less mishaps than before. And Mick – I don’t know how to call it. He’s just unbelievable. When I see those videos, it’s  hard to trust my eyes and ears. Woody still looks like he had just gone though hard troubles – and he has, indeed. That said, I’m in awe and so very happy to see him play and enjoying the shows. His playing also seems to have got more deliberate and sometimes he has room to take his time and develop the solo he presents.

What can I say. I’m so proud of this band and to be a fan! May it last forever – I enjoy every second of it!
