• 3rd concert: Hartford – Rentschler Field – read a review here (by zbomber) || Stones rock Rentschler there’s a video-link, too (wtnh.com) || Rolling Stones Rock Rentschler Field (nbc30.com)Report from Dan:As you can see there have been a few changes front the Boston shows. The quality of the sound seemed to be a bit off this evening. Perhaps it was due to where my seat was located ( tonight’s seat was off to the side , whereas in Fenway I was dead center ) and there was a bit of a breeze which may have affected the reception somewhat. The lighting and pyrotechnic show was better in Hartford though , maybe because of a larger space to work with.The merchandising sales are phenomenal . It wasn’t uncommon for people to be waiting between 30 – 60 minutes to get a piece of memorabilia.Keith’s voice was in good form this evening . Ronnie played flawlessly and Mick , what more can you say . 25 year olds should have that mans energy. Running full tilt across the stage and belting out a chorus at the same time is pretty amazing stuff.

  Charlie was a little more animated than usual , which was a nice touch. The moving stage went almost the entire length of the field giving all in attendance a real good straight on view at one point or another.

  It is good to see they are mixing up the setlists. Makes for a few surprises for us old-timers who have attended shows in years past or if you are fortunate enough to see more than 1 show on this tour. Well I’ll let you go for now, I’ll send in another report early in October after the show in Hershey, PA

 

The Phoenix Club gig: report1 (thanks 2 nursejaine!!) | report2 (thanks 2 MainStExile!!)

What a setlist! Exept the last 3 numbers, that’s all surprising tracks. They really took the chance to try the new stuff. Great!

(thx TongueLady) At the end of the show, everyone came out for the final bow except Charlie… then they left and the lights went down. When the lights came back up, there was JUST CHARLIE standing there and bowing. It absolutely brought the house down!!!

Apparently, station Q107 didn’t broadcast live but played Palais Royale from 2002 – that’s really mean!
I’m sorry for all of you who (like me and many others) trusted them and were screwed! Although the DJ boasted “LIVE STONES HERE AS IT HAPPENS”, this was NOT live from the Phenix!

I’m sure, they are flooded with considerable amounts of email telling them what is to be thought of this fraud…

There. This is the proof:
