The sad fact for me is that once again no 'These Days' songs on the DVD, if released.
IMO they could have done a rolling stones type release, the DVD set could have included a show from Europe (Stadium, like Amsterdam) and then an arena show (like MSG) both had different stage sets and would have given the fan a good overview of the tour. This could and should have been done but sadly will not. This is the amazon review for the stones DVD I am talking about: The juggernaut four-disc set that is the Rolling Stones Four Flicks is taken from their unique three-in-one 2001 tour when they combined a stadium tour, an arena tour and a theatre tour into one 54-truck peregrination. It's the kind of epic endeavour that brings to mind William Burroughs' remark on Laurie Anderson's Home of the Brave: "Y'know, I prefer to watch this kind of thing on TV. Tones it down." Of the four discs, there's one devoted to each of the three sets plus another of documentary footage which is every bit as entertaining as the concerts, with the chaps coming across as the bunch of lovable old monkeys they resemble these days. The track listings speak for itself, but there are quite a few nice insights into the way in which the band operates musically. Jagger's voice is nowhere near as strong as it was, yet, like Miles Davis did when his chops began to desert him, he simply knits any shortcomings into his style of delivery. One side-effect of this, though, is that the more recent material, presumably written with this in mind, is much more effective here than the classics; "Brown Sugar", for example, its lyrics now neutered to avoid giving offence, finds him resorting to all sorts of shortcuts. No matter, though, the Stones still put on an incomparable show. Keith "the Human Riff" Richards is in fact playing better now than he ever has. It's well worth getting yer ya-yas out for. On the DVD: Four Flicks presents its material in such an integrated way that it's hard to say where the main event ends and the extras begin. As well as the concerts, you get to see the band working with AC/DC, Sheryl Crow and various other associates, there's a fun feature which allows you to zoom in on any individual member on a few tracks (revealing the secret of Charlie Watts's propulsive drumming to the percussion-minded observer) plus a great deal more. --Roger Thomas DVD Description Disc One – Madison Square Garden set list: Street Fighting Man If You Can’t Rock Me Don’t Stop Monkey Man Angie Let It Bleed Midnight Rambler Thru and Thru Happy You Got Me Rocking Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’ (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll When the Whip Comes Down Brown Sugar Sympathy For the Devil Disc Two – London Twickenham Stadium set list: Brown Sugar You Got Me Rockin’ Rocks Off Wild Horses Can’t Always Get What You Want Paint it Black Tumblin’ Dice Slipping Away Sympathy For the Devil Starf***er I Just Want to Make Love to You Street Fighting Man Gimme Shelter Honky Tonk Woman (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction Jumping Jack Flash Disc Three – Paris Olympia set list: Start Me Up Live With Me Neighbours Hand of Fate No Expectations Worried About You Doo Doo Heartbreaker Stray Cat Blues Dance Part 1 Everybody Needs Somebody to Love That’s How Strong My Love Is Going to a Go Go The Nearness of You Before They Make Me Run Love Train Respectable Honky Tonk Woman Brown Sugar Jumping Jack Flash The Bootlegs: Paris Studio: Well Well Extreme Western Grip Circus Krone Theatre: Can’t Turn You Loose Wiltern Theatre: Beast of Burden You Don’t Have to Mean It Rock Me Baby Bitch |

Well, you know what I'm going to say......lol!! I, like Kathleen, was surprised, we got any different songs. I liked the first show better for the set list but I liked the second show better for the view, as I was front row!! Yea, the encore could have been better but honestly 99 shows for a tour that was supposed to never happen.....I'm okay with the end and my 35 shows on the tour. :D

It is very interesting to read everyone's reactions to last night, the last exit on the Lost Highway tour. Yes Monday night was better but for me every concert I have attended has been a religious experience. Some nights were better than others but every night gave me two + hours of great music and left me wired with the music running through my head and my brain refusing to let go and go to sleep. We are quite fortunate to have such a great band to enjoy, criticize, and once again enjoy, and to have such a knowledgeable group of fans who participate. All I can say now that it's over is.... here's to the next gig.
