Set-list highlights from last night's Rolling Stones performance at the O2:

I Wanna Be Your Man/ Get Off My Cloud/ It's All Over Now/ Paint It, Black/ Gimme Shelter/ Wild Horses/ All Down The Line/ It's Only Rock'n'Roll (But I Like It)/ Honky Tonk Women/ Happy/ Midnight Rambler/ Miss You/ Start Me Up/ Tumbling Dice/ Brown Sugar/ Sympathy For The Devil/ You Can't Always Get What You Want/ Jumpin' Jack Flash.

And you can't argue with that.

I'm going Thursday, looking forward to it, but not as much as my wife.

Not that surprising.... The A2 can be a right nightmare at times. Smile

Read the reviews, they seem to suggest so.

I'm not being funny (because apparently I have to make that completely clear now) but if they weren't "any good" do you think they'd still be packing in arena tours 50 years later?

It's one of those things that goes without saying really.

Fair enough. I went to see them 40 years ago and they were pretty average. They must have been practising in the intervening years.
