As the released “PHILADELPHIA 2024” proved, the disappearance of “Sweet Sound Of Heaven”, which had been played every night from the set list of the Rolling Stones’ latest tour, caused panic among enthusiasts around the world. They would no longer play the encore repertoire that symbolizes this tour. On the other hand, everyone was surprised and a little anxious as Keith’s repertoire was expanded to an unprecedented development of three songs. Fortunately, “Sweet Sound Of Heaven” was back in its usual place from Denver on June 20th, as captured in the superb video “DENVER 2024 THE VIDEO” captured from the audience. Furthermore, the total number of songs played was increased to 20, the most since the start of the tour. At one point, it was thought that the “Sweet Sound” setlist was dropped and Keith played three songs, but the changes such as the three songs of Keith, which were thought to be measures to reduce the burden on Mick’s throat, were actually part of the aggressive approach that is characteristic of this tour. It seems like it was not such a compelling reason. After Denver, two performances were held in Chicago, but the 20-song set list was still continued, which suggests that the tour is progressing with the Stones in top form. Both Chicago performances have excellent sound quality audience recordings that have appeared on the net, and both are of impeccable quality. First of all, the first day in Chicago, the clarity of the sound quality stands out throughout. It is an excellent recording that can definitely be enjoyed just for its clarity, but the sound image is also close. This tour really shows high quality audience recordings that are proportional to the performance level of the Stones. In this way, the clear and powerful sound quality captures the high-tension Mick. Even looking at the situation, it doesn’t seem like there is any bad mood, and it seems that the series of set list changes were just one of the approaches to the tour. It’s really refreshing to hear the energetic Mick stoking up the band with this clear sound quality audience recording. The fact that the vote song chosen in the midst of all this was “She’s A Rainbow” is a selection that will make any enthusiast cry, and since this is Mick’s second tour, he sings it better than the first time in Orlando. In this way, Mick’s good performance stands out in the first half of the live, and combined with that momentum, it can be called a masterpiece where time passes in the blink of an eye. In fact, the group continued to perform great performances, fueled by Mick, but the only time Keith’s “Happy” makes the slide guitar played by Ronnie look suspicious. Perhaps because his songs have increased to three since June 7, Keith now seems to be having a really good time singing his own repertoire, and it can be seen from every performance. That’s why I can’t help but laugh at Ronnie’s simple mistake here. Meanwhile, Mick continued to be in top form after that, and in the first half of “Midnight Rambler”, he sang the local song “Sweet Home Chicago” instead of a passage from his favorite song of the past few years, “Come On In My Kitchen”, which naturally delighted the audience around the taper. And above all, “Sweet Sound Of Heaven”, which successfully returned to the repertoire, was the best. After all, the encore of this tour had to start with this song. Above all, Mick’s passionate singing, which began in a good atmosphere, was also wonderful here. The first day of the latest Chicago performance was clear and easy to hear. With such recording quality, not only maniacs but also beginners can enjoy the best audience with peace of mind. With this clarity and the longest set list of the tour, the current Stones will surely be overwhelmed by Mick, who is pulling the band with the engine at full throttle.
