The night before we were flying to Seattle for our Canada trip Steph wondered if there were any shows in Seattle for the 1 night we would be there. I grabbed the computer and quickly learned that the Rolling Stones would be playing in Qwest Field with Dave Matthews Band opening. We figured tickets would be impossible but I had just finished reading an article in the Wall Street Journal on Stubhub.com so I pulled it up and scored 2 tickets for $60 a piece. The Seattle paper the next morning (Oct. 17th) was advertising $700 tickets!
The show was awesome! The Stones featured a 20,400 square foot, 300 ton stage. It takes 70 semis to hall the thing. They played 17 tunes including:
Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's Only Rock 'n' Roll
Let's Spend The Night Together
She Was Hot
Let It Bleed
Streets Of Love
Midnight Rambler
Tumbling Dice
You Got The Silver
Little T&A
Under My Thumb
Oh No, Not You Again
Start Me Up
Honky Tonk Women
Sympathy For The Devil
Paint It Black
Brown Sugar
Encore
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Satisfaction
