When I saw them back in 2003 it was just kind of ... yeah I'd love to get to see the Stones because I was and am a huge fan of them in the early years and their peak which in my view would be '68-'73. I know of no band that had the consistency over that period in terms of the quality of albums they made... Let It Bleed.. Sticky Fingers.. Exile On Main St.. Goat's Head Soup all on the trot. What came before was brilliant in a different sort of way, so was a good deal after but they have somewhat shat on their own image in my view in the intervening years not so much in the mediocrity of their music but stunts like this, they don't have any regard for their audience on any coherent level it just seems like a souless bean counters set up .... Rolling Stones Inc.
On the other hand I am re reading Keith Richard's biography again which is such a good read and value for money plus some at the very least. Shows them in a different era when things and people mattered.

In the driving rain, every ticket costs the same
For where you can't go
Mustang horses, champagne glasses
Anything frail anything wild
It's the price of living motion, what's beautiful is broken
And grace is just the measure of a fall.
