“So this is our first show of our tour, Tonight we’re doing something we’ve never done before… We’re going to do the whole of ‘Sticky Fingers.'”
Over in LA, the Stones played the tiny 1300 SRO Fonda Theatre, where both Alyson Camus and I tried to get her a ticket and failed terrible. The tix were $5 a pop, and changing hands at $500 on minimum, a scam is my bet and 2K is more like it. and the AP review was a fountain of meh: “Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones perform at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, Wednesday, May 20, 2015. The Rolling Stones ripped through the intimate Fonda Theatre Wednesday with enough energy to fuel their entire 15-city North American tour. The band announced Wednesday morning it would perform a “club show” that night to kick off its Zip Code tour, which launches Sunday in San Diego. ”
Thanks for the info AP.
A study of the setlist, however, proves info was quite right, they are performing 1971’s Sticky Fingers, a great album that still isn’t Exile On Mainstreet. Jagger cracked “There used to be these things called records that went round and round, they had these cardboard covers that people looked at for hours and hours.”
Moonlight Mile” is the one that has caught my eye,”Can’t You Hear Me Knocking”? The sequence of song is different from the album, probably because they wanted to hold on to “Brown Sugar” till late. Plus BB King and Otis Redding for the encore.
So a tasty, what, my bet is 90 minute set.The closest these guys are getting to nyc is Pittsburgh (Buffalo is EIGHT HOURS AWAY by train), so I’m not close, though a friend of mine is heading to Atlanta. When I covered the bands return to live playing in 2012, I promised you an imminent stadium gig, but it hasn’t happened yet. No New York? It’s just this evil life that has them in its sway.
