Yes, I saw the Stones in Toronto in 2003. I did have tickets to their Bridges to Babylon tour but after they postponed the show twice, I got a refund. The Stones have been around long enough, so they should be easy to see.

i durnt not like butt rock

  Yes, 1969 in Madison Square Garden... comp seats in the nosebleed section.

The Stones (minus Brian) were pretty damned good, but the Ike and Tina Turner Review was better, and we were kept waiting for nearly an hour after their set for the excitement to dissipate before the boys dared take to the stage.

Yes, but unfortunately only once they'd reached the "mummy's curse" stage of their careers.

In 1989 at the old New England Patriots stadium. It was cold, too cold for early October. Not a very good show, they were well past their prime even then, they put on a fairly desultory performance, and played mostly predictable stuff, which morons screamed out for at the top of their lungs, of course.Not the worst show I've seen, but closer to the bottom than the top.

Wasn't born or old enough to see the lord of darkness in their heyday. . .certainly would've enjoyed the experience.  As for now, this is the epitome of stadium-sellout corporate rock at its worst.  Give the Stones their due for experiencing the entire rock spectrum- from groundbreaking artistic beginnings to the poster-child for old-fart rock where tickets will only cost you a second mortgage.  Not that anyone's getting one of those. . .

No. A couple of times in my life, I went to see bands or performers that had made their mark simply to say I had seen them. Back in the late 70's, I was asked if I wanted to see the Who with some other people who were into them. While I respected the Who and loved some of their songs, I wasn't really a great fan, but I said yes. Unfortunately, Keith Moon had died not long before, and I found the concert generally unimpressive. Some years later, I had an opportunity to see Frank Sinatra. Again, I wasn't personally a great fan, but I respected his talent and his impact on the culture was undeniable. As it turned out, he was as senile as everyone had been saying...he was unable to remember the lyrics to "My Way" and nearly every other song he attempted...and while I thought Sinatra as a human being was an arrogant, contemptible jerk, I couldn't help feeling saddened and shocked at witnessing just how far he had deteriorated. So it is with the Stones. At their best, they were absolutely brilliant and groundbreaking, and their output from that period of time remains some of my favorite music ever. Unfortunately, their best is pre-1972. I have no interest in watching well-preserved mummies going through the motions, and I suspect that's what a Rolling Stones concert amounts to these days.
