First time in ages for a real 3-days festival for the Stones. Mick said it was so expensive here, with two quid for water, four quid for a burger, and the dog took his dope... but fact is the beer was only three quid, not more than you pay at a regular bar in the tourist areas.

It was a hot day, not as hot as Nijmegen, but still, lots of burned people to be seen. Most had purchased their ticket to the show half a year ago, long time before the Stones were confirmed for the Isle of Wight festival. And most people stayed in a tent, where the average age was 30 or so, and they just loved the Stones. Well the other acts got some great following too, but the push on the B-stage really started around 8pm or so, as it got closer to Stones time. The front of the stage had been packed for hours and hours.

Everybody was right on today. Everybody. Short festival set but still some great songs. Blues night with "Love In Vain" and "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". Both very bluesy and soulful versions. They could have played it safe and given us Paint It Black but this was blues night and it worked. And with "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" nobody could say they were playing the crowd with their big hits to make it easy.

Mick said he had been staying in a tent with his kids. Ronnie got such a great ovation during the presentations, because of his "Knocking" guitar solo, that Mick said Ronnie would move to the island. Charlie did a great drum solo, and Keith did what he is best at, playing the guitar, saying how great it was to be there and gave us great versions of "I Wanna Hold You" and "Slipping Away".

Most people are still on their way to the mainland, with their bags, tents and great memories from the rock legends The Rolling Stones. Being lucky to catch the first ferry back to Portsmouth after the festivalfinished with some magnificent fireworks, it was great listening to what people said. Normal people, not Stones fans. It sounded like they were pretty happy. Really happy in fact.

Festivals are such a pain when you are "grown up" and used to the luxury of hotels, but I wish they could do more festivals. Yes indeed! It was all worth the hazzle!

I don't particularly like Sympathy for the Devil. I much prefer Street Fighting Man, and if we are talking Beggars I prefer Salt of the Earth, Jigsaw Puzzle, Parachute Woman and Stray Cat Blues too.

edit : And Factory Girl too. So there.

it was...

but then, they have never, ever, ever, ever played a half decent live version of Sympathy

[BonnetBird]

It sounds like I'm on my own here... but I was at the IOW festival, and really enjoyed the Stones.

Having only seen them once before, seated at Cardiff, it was an entirely different experience to be standing in the crowd for the Stones. The sense of excitement and anticipation from the audience, the build up before each song and participation during felt quite special.

Not being a Stones expert, maybe it was the crowd that made it, but for me it was one of the best live experiences I've had.

And if it's the crowd that makes it, then I'm pretty sure the experience of seeing the Stones at Glasto will be even better.

[sifi]

The one on Get Yer Ya Ya's Out is pretty s**t hot if you ask me.

[magicmojo]

Can't believe some people are judging a 47 year career on a 1 1/2 hour set at IOW.

Sympathy for the devil has been dodgy live for a few years but the rest of the set seemed pretty good to me. Keith always sings two songs in their live set and I don't think that will change anytime soon so if you're not keen that's your chance for toilet/beer/cider.

Seen them on their last few tours and unless you go there expecting them to sound exactly like they did in 1969 you won't be disappointed....

The one from the Rock n Roll Circus is ok, not great but good considering Keef and Brians skin was yellow from the amount of drugs in their system. Brian in particular was total mess.

Live At Leeds on the other hand was hardly touched (I knew the engineer )

[Billy09]

I think the audience had been up for about 2 days there... and it's been touched up and over dubbed to f**k. The Stones wouldn't release it for years because they had been so devastatingly upstaged by The Who. There's one track on the Rock n Roll Circus where you can hear an acoustic guitar, but no-ones actually playing it...??

and yes, ya-ya's was aslo cleaned up a lot in the studio

Other than Sympathy for the devil and maybe the track with Amy Winehouse it wasn't dreadful and if you do think it was that bad why would you bother wasting a couple of hours watching them again?

You've told everyone in great detail what you don't want to hear so why not tell us what songs you do want to hear?

[sifi]

Oh. Ideal Stones set-list time. Tricky.

Got to have Bitch on it. Can we agree on that? And Sister Morphine.

Oh, and Sway while you are at it.

What about Midnight Rambler? I love it, but the thing is you could fit about three other songs in there.

That IOW set list didn't have Gimme Shelter on it. They didn't play Gimme Shelter? That's madness.

Sorry Russy!

Tell us again what they were like at IOW festival......you've only done that about ten times on this thread!

[sifi]

All Down the Line. I'd like them to play All Down the Line please.

And Sweet Black Angel.

Great songs but the problem would be that 90% of people there wouldn't know them.

If I had to choose one it would be 'Moonlight Mile'

[Langdale Wolf]

I accept your apology.

They were really very poor at Isle of Wight.

Anything else?
