I can not exaggerate perfection. The Stones came onstage after three days of rest and man did it show. The energy was infectious and the sound absolutely perfect. Mick and Keith held nothing back and Charlie was rock solid. However, I have serious concerns about Woody. He just looked completely out-of-it;humanoid really. The entire group is covering for him and you wonder why they put up with it. As for the set-list.....PERFECT. We rushed the B-Stage and security let most of us get to within ten feet of Mick. However I did lose my dope in the process and was forced to be sans dope for the post-show parties. Oh well, life is not perfect. As for the glimmerfest at O'Dowds before the concert; the place was rockin and I was lucky enough to sell my ticket to some guy named Skippy. Skippy said he once shared a flat with a certain Maxlugar in the mid-'80s. I chose not to say another word, shook his hand and simply stated: "It certainly is one SMALL world." Stay Kinkily and see ya in Chicago on April 12th.
