Oh yes, my wife was able to buy two from a friend and I found one online. That covers all three of us. My son, Mick is his name, is ready to go. Free bus ride and hospitality suite with open bar and food before the show.
We've been practicing Honky Tonk in between baseball games we both had and other thngs. Getting there. No one is singing yet though. He's just very much going to watch Charlie through most songs while I'll be watchng Keith and Ronnie do they're things.

Congrats! I've heard that the one at Giant's Stadium was an awesome show. Wish I'd had the money to go, but I've been focused on another band ;)
Gonna catch them sometime before they die though!
Enjoy the concert.
I'm catching them tomorrow night and taking my son. This will be my third Stones concert -- and I'm looking forward to it as much as I did the other two.
Ron's playing very well lately. That's an extra added bonus.

Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

I saw the Stones on 9/6 in Minneapolis/SPaul. it was an indoor concert.
Buddy Guy opened. that was awesome.
just before the Stones came out the two large Ameriquest banners on each side of the stage were lowered; the crowd roared. I hope it was a political staement.
shortly after that we heard the opening notes for Start Me Up.
out struts Keith with his tele.
I was ready. this was my first time seeing them. I'd been a fan since 1965 when I first heard them.
after that tune Mick talked to the audfience. he said it felt good to be indoors and close to the audience.
they played a mix of oldies and tunes from the new CD, Bigger Bang.
the crowd sang the choruses. Mick loved it; he held the mic towards the crowd. the band got off on the crowd.
Ron played a pedal steel on one song. he played several slide tnes too. No Expectations wasnt one of them; that's ok. cause evrything they did play was excellent.
Ron and Keith played with ease. the sound was perfect.
Charlie was in great form. I love his drumming.
they played solid for an hour.
then the stage elevated and moved down the center aisle.
they continued to play.
like their other concerts they did the same stage show within a show.
Mick never stopped moving. Ron and Keith were ultimate posers, showing off the great guitar abilities while stooping, tossing picks, etc.
Ron quit smoking. Keith puffed two cigs on stage.
they all looked thin, fit, and ready to rock it.
and they did.
I had great seats too.
my yayas got out. :D
Rparker, not sure if you said, but when is the concert?
10/8 in Durham North Carolina.

I just saw them Saturday. Beck opened (great opener!)
They rocked the house. I think they were playing even better than on the 2002 tour. And it was fun watching Mick play some slide as well. I've seen them three times now, and I think they did the best version of "Jumping Jack Flash" I've heard.
All in all, a great Stones show.
Here's the setlist:
Brown Sugar,
You Got Me Rocking,
She's so Cold,
Tumblin' Dice,
Rough Justice,
Back of my Hand,
All Down the Line,
Mr. Pitifull,
Sway,
The Worst,
Infamy,
Miss You,
Oh No Not You Again,
Shattered,
Honky Tonk Women,
Sympathy For The Devil,
It's Only Rock 'n' Roll,
Start Me Up,
Jumpin' Jack Flash
ENCORE:
You Can't Always Get What You Want,
Satisfaction

excellent!!!!!!
I wa hoping that Beck would open for the show I saw. Buddy Guy opened.
Ive no complaints.
glad you saw the show. they still have it!
nice set list. it's just slightly different for what I saw.
did Ronnie play pedal steel?
Yes, he did. That was a nice treat, as well as Mick playing some slide too. Ron's a sweet slide player though.

Ronnie has always been tasty on slide. I liked his work on Gasoline Alley...a very old Rod Stewart Faces album. 60's era.
at one point all three were playing slide. it got too much for me.
it was cool seeing Mic slide. Ron had a couple different guitars set for slide.
dont they make it look easy.
Jason Mraz is opening here. I'm not familiar with him. Anybody?
Immature? Of course I'm immature Einstein, I'm 50 and in a Rock and ROll band.

it's really John Mayer spelling his name differently cause he's afraid no one would come if h used his real name. :shock:
I'm curious to see if they change their sets every night.
The guy opening in Durham is someone named Trey Anastasio or something like that. I listened to about 5-10 samples on yahoo and almost killed myself. I'm REALLY hoping that what I heard is not what I hear.....and I like almost every type of music.
I'd like to see them do Sway though.
