Just got back from the 2nd Philly show.
IMO, not as good as the first night, but quite
notable for the appearance of "Get Off Of My Cloud"
on the B-stage.
Knew something was up when Mick didn't get a guitar
after "Route 66".
Since they did "When The Whip Comes Down" last night,
"Just My Imagination" figured to be the 2nd song
tonight.
Mick announced "a new song" - and off they went.
Crowd erupted when they realized what it was.
Great call and response on the chorus, and the band was clearly energized.
They followed it up with a truly apocalyptic "Midnight Rambler", the best version I've seen in the 4 shows
I've caught on this tour.
Also nice to hear "Fool To Cry" in the ballad spot.
The setlist:
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Live With Me
You Got Me Rockin'
Respectable
Honky Tonk Women
Fool To Cry
