A Rolling Stones concert is one of the few times I got a baby sitter when my son was small. It was amazing. Enjoy and happy early birthday to Mrs. GD.

I preferred the opening act, The Fabulous Thunderbirds , and the second act, and ZZ Top.

And even then I was impressed by Jagger's energy. They are the Everready Bunnies of rock. I think Keith Richards might be a zombie.

I know that people said the concert here at TCF Field a couple of years ago was a good one, so, hopefully they'll still be energetic! ,

and I can tell you, even though they are older I bet you are not disappointed in the least. The Steel Wheels tour was the best of all.

Have a wonderful time. Happy birthday to your wife. What a great gift.

I had this vision of Mick outside in the Chicago winter. Yikes!
