I was at this show!!!!!? ?i know none of you care!!!!? lol.? ?im going to give you my review, whether you like it or not.
im still flying high after seeing these guys, and its been five days since the show.

here it goes, the last time the Stones came to Louisville KY or KY for the matter, was 1989.? 1989, what the fuck?? have the Stones bought into what people say about KY people?? that we are stupid and shit.? i fuckin hate how people almost demonize this state.? why these guys havent been here since 1989 is beyond me.? so, the Stones, a legendary band....and Churchill Downs, a legendary if not the most legendary horse track in the world.? fucking historic.? ?the sad thing is Churchill just was not ready for this show.? close to 50,000 people were at this show, which is how many tickets were sold.? far more come to the KY Derby.? the difference is, on Derby Day the gates are opened very early.? therefor it dosent get as crazy.? the gate opened for the Stones at 4:30.? i got there around 5:30 and it was already crazy.? people everywhere, which of course is to be expected to a certain degree.? but i waited damn near 35 minutes to get to my seat in a line that just seemed to get longer and longer, even as it moved foward.? Churchill Downs just isnt built nor prepared for that many people coming in at the same time.? unlike arenas there arent alot of entrances into the actual venue.? and there arent as many entrances to the seating areas.? and also there were alot of seats on the dirt track and in front of the stage which arent there on Derby Day or any other day.

when I eventually got at the top of this ramp (in this insanly long line where people were literally breathing down your neck and shoving and pushing and all that shit) i felt a sigh of relief, i could finally breath again, i was outdoors.? holy shit i saw the huge stage on the infield.? three stories tall.? i couldnt believe how big this stage was.? eventually i got to my seat, which was on the dirt track.? far, far, far away. ? ? i felt a few drops of rain hit my head.? of course the weather man said it wasnt supposed to rain.....believe me, i checked.? Alice Cooper opened up, and of course he fuckin rocked.? but as his show went on the rain started to pick up. by the time he was finished a steady rain shower was falling on Churchill.? and it didnt stop, even when the Stones went on, opening with Jumpin Jack Flash.? eventually as the Stones show went on it did quit.?

but....at that moment, when the lights went down and The Stones started.......nothing even mattered.? forget the rain, forget the people who were losing their tempers in the long lines.? nothing mattered anymore.? one of the most surreal moments i have ever been apart of.? one of the biggest chills i have ever gotten, was during Dead Flowers.? there is a line in that song, "Making Bets On Kentucky Derby Day."? when Mick sang that line...the loudest fucking pop you could ever hear in your life erupted.? i know that it had to take everything Mick had not to smile, or laugh or just not mess up the song.? that pop was felt by all of The Stones members, and everyone at that race track.? it went through everyone, and at that moment i felt like close to 50,000 people became one.? unreal.? unreal.?

in their 60's they havent lost anything.? they put on a better show than all of the newer bands could ever hope to play.? i would have loved to have heard Gimme Shelter, or Angie OR....OR the very fitting Wild Horses.? why they didnt play that at Churchill Downs i dont know.? but im not complaining about what i didnt hear.? im not complaining at all.? one of the greatest shows i have ever been to despite Churchill not being set up properly.?

where i was sitting, Mick and the boys were two inches tall.? i paid $100.00 for that ticket.? was it worth it?? it rained ( i got a small cold because of it), peoples tempers flared up, people got separated from their groups.? including a poor six or seven year old little girl i saw.? luckily a Churchill employee was with her and im sure she found her family.? ?very very very long lines everywhere......would i do it again.? ? FUCK YEAH I WOULD!!!!!!!!!

Cool review man, and I really share your enthusiasm.

Allot of people like to dismiss the Stones because they're so old, but when I saw them back in April this year, it was one of the best rock gigs I've ever attended. Every song of theirs is a fuckin classic and they sure know how to work a crowd, for a bunch of 60 year olds!

I'd definitely see them again if they ever toured Australia again.

Anyone here going to see the Rolling Stones at the Beacon Theater in NYC on Oct 29th or 31st? From the Beacon Website:

"The Rolling Stones play two ultra-exclusive concerts at the Beacon Theater to mark former President Bill Clinton's 60th birthday. Don't miss your once-in-a-lifetime chance to be there. Concerts will be filmed."

Since the concert is being "filmed" - Here's what a source told me...

"And the first few rows will be filled with actors hired for the occasion, folks meeting the right demographic and cosmetic profile."

How lame is that? They want fake fans posing for the cameras in the first few rows?

thats kinda crap for real fans

[Brett_Meisner]

thats kinda crap for real fans

I know - can you just imagine that right now at some modeling agency in New York there a super-excited agent talking to a room full of young male models:

AGENT -  "Okay guys, were going to send you to see THE STONES!"

BIFF - "I LOVE THE STONES... Will Barney Rubble be there, or just Fred?"

Brett

[slash666]

  i could imagine that happening!

MODELS - "So we're going to see some Stones on a stage?"

[Dirty Little Thing]

LAME. 

[journey]

That is sad. But I have a feeling that it happens more often than people think. ?Some tv producers are sleazy.

I'm sure the models know the Rolling Stones. They're not airheads. You'd have to be from another planet not to know the Stones.?

I've thought about this some more.

If this is true (your source), then that's really disgusting.

It's ironic that the true fans who really want to be there and pay lots of money and travel long distance just to be there get short changed. And the fake fans get paid to be there and basically get special treatment. Horrible.

[Brett_Meisner]

LAME.?

Stones fans look like this....



Not like this...



Brett

[T_Roxie]

Sad really isnt it.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Why not put a bunch of older less attractive people up front, It would make Mick look better.

"The Stones, I love the Stones, I watch 'em whenever I can........Fred and Barney"

Steven Wright

[imgrubby]

that is just so wrong. maybe the producers should get some good looking young actors to play the members of the band why they are at it.

[sandman]

i don't believe it. i think it's total BS.

anyone care to prove me wrong and provide a true source?

[Gunner80]

I smell BS.
