I saw the Stones in '81 (30 years ago) at Candlestick Park in San Francisco (worst venue ever for a concert, with horrible acoustics), and the J Geils band and George Thorogood both did good solid sets before the Stones put on an incredible show:
Although it was a big spectacle, the Stones tours I have seen since have become such enormous stage productions, that in ways I feel that the larger than life bells and whistles take away from the intimacy that a smaller show might permit.
