The Nosebleeds Report on the Rolling Stones in TO

The Cons:
Getting into Toronto. Getting out of Toronto. Over-long lines at the beer counter. No forcefield. The London School of Economics approved stage design that allowed them to sell tickets for seats ON THE STAGE. No second encore even though the crowd certainly thought they had it coming. Security stooges who hassled the girls dancing safely behind the railings.

The Pros:
The Stones still have it in spades. Tumling Dice. Dead Flowers. The groovy new Keef song that sounds like the grooviest Stones cut in many years. The train the Stones took to get to the mini stage at OUR end of the stadium in a timely manner. Satisfaction performed on the mini stage, and Honky Tonk Woman. Sympathy for the Devil all red and sexy and evil. The girls harassed by the security stooges danced anyways.

It is only rock and roll but I still like it.
