What did you use to film this? great footage.

[@biggringo5279]

Thank you. It's a Cannon SX740 HS. It's small and sometimes difficult to hold but it takes decent video and still pictures.

Genuinely glad The Stones are still at it (and "Hackney Diamonds" is their best album in DECADES.) BUT, I can't be the only one who senses the sluggish tempo here for "Start Me Up." I can only assume the rest of their set was also 15% slower than original. I have no answer to these questions, but: are they purposely slowing things down, because the songs are easier to play slower? Or has their perception of tempo been affected by... time? (They are NOT the only "legacy band" who play their songs noticeably slower.) Thanks for posting, Big Gringo.

I would say that this is closer to the studio pace than what they played live in the 1980s. Bands have been known to modify the pace of the song based on whatever pace the drummer or guitar player set for that given night. I don't think it lost any dramatic effect - I saw it live and it was incredible!

I was there, yes the first 2 songs (SMU & Get off my cloud) were a little slow and sluggish. Like if they weren't warmed up yet. But then, song #3 was "Bitch" and that one was rockin' and much faster/livelier. From then on the rest of the set was amazing. I guess when you're 80 years old you gotta wait a few minutes for your adrenaline to kick in

I like this pacingr. Captures more of the feel and vibe. I like their pace on Satisfaction this current tour too.

i saw the stones at gillette sometime in the 00s. it was such a forgettable show i can't remember the year. BO -- RING !!! lifeless band went through the motions playing just enough lifeless music to pick up their check. never again.

[@biggringo5279]

I honestly think that were better this time than when I saw them in 2019.

[@Mike___Honcho]

@@biggringo5279 i believe you, mr. gringo. maybe i was spoiled growing up in the 70s when the stones were gritty and always breaking some ground. you would not believe the number of bands i have seen over the years, but i hadn't seen the stones until that show i mentioned in the 00s. i was really looking forward to it, but the biggest high point of the evening was when my buddy's GF went around giving lap dances to strangers. she was the only sign of life that evening.

[@biggringo5279]

@@Mike___Honcho I'm sorry that I missed that show!

[@nedajenyap]

Wish Mick would just focus on singing instead of his dancing. I think his vocals would improve considerably if he held the mic steady.

[@TheNaturalust]

Meh. So mediocre these days. Watch a DMB or Tedeschi-Trucks show if you want some top of the line entertainment!
