I was at the show in Tampa as well. I can't believe that Mick can still move like that at 78. I had tickets in the Rear GAs meaning that I had to stand for close to 4 hours. I had a hard time walking back to the motel since my knees were screaming and I'm 15 years younger.
I think the Stones played for about 2 hours and 20 minutes. I voted for "Far Away Eyes" and was happy that song won. People around me were not so pleased initially. I love the lines in the song where he sings
"And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord".
Mick said something about "Welcome to Patriot's Stadium". He responded to the smattering of boos with "Well Tom Brady plays here".
He also said that when they first played in Clearwater in 1965 they didn't finish their set. I didn't catch the reason why but they ended up writing "Satisfaction" after the show. Here is a link to the story.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Clearwater attracted some of the biggest acts in rock and roll.

The only downer was the price of beer. Something like $14 for an ultra and other domestic beers. But as I said to the people in line, "You don't come here to save money". Not sure what the price of mixed drinks were. At least the sausage and peppers were $8.75. That is a bit more for sausage than I have spent at Foxboro. I thoroughly enjoyed the show even though it is pretty predictable nowadays. Multigenerational crowd with mothers dancing with their kids and people in their 80s as well.
Lisa Fischer may be gone but Sasha Allen replaced her very well in "Gimme Shelter". Good voice and sex appeal.
