I neither lover or hate the stones.

During the last north American tour, I was working at their concert.

I heard them as clear as everyone but I couldn't watch the show (though I did take a couple breaks to watch a couple songs).

They were solid. They gave an enthusiastic performance. Mick was still strutting as if he was still in his teens.

I also watched his mic check.

Mick wasn't waiting in his dressing room while some roadie checked the sound system

Mick was on stage with Richards and Mic was belting out a song and moving all over the stage feeling it out.

Regardless what anyone thinks of him and the Stones, I believe they love what they do and it shows in the performance and sell-out arena venues.

I've never claimed that the Stones can't perform anymore, and they've always paid very close attention to their sound. My favorite Stones' song - "The Spider and the Fly" - was never a single in the US.

I loved the arrangement - the sassy harmonica, the bluesy bass, the country-ish rhythm guitar accents, and the guitar solo. It was a perfect arrangement, and the Stones did that a lot, paid a lot of attention to detail. I've always thought of them as a very intelligent band even though they didn't exactly LOOK the part.

They were on my bucket list and a few years ago, I got to see them at the Horseshoe. They were amazing! Mick had the energy of a young adult! Now I’m looking forward to seeing them again on Tuesday!
