The final show of the Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang Tour 2005/2006/2007 took place in London's beautiful and brand-new indoor venue : the O2 Arena.

The sold-out arena went dark and the intro began, followed by Keith attacking the riff of Start Me Up.

My personal highlights during this show were Ain't Too Proud To Beg and
You Can't Always Get What You Want. Can't You Hear Me Knocking was great too, but not the best version of the tour, Mick mixing up a bit of his harmonica part.

Mick said a few words throughout this final show, about the amount of shows, the fans and the road crew.

Ronnie was on fire, and Keith in great shape and mood.
As a provocation against the smoking ban, he ate a cigarette before starting his solo set in the middle of the show. You Got The Silver was as moving as in Lyon.

After the B-stage, everything went too quickly. We all knew the end was getting nearer, and each song seemed way too short.

After Brown Sugar, when the lights went on in the venue, I had the strange feeling
I already had at the end of the previous tours : happy to have been there, and wondering if it would or not be the last time I saw my favorite band live.

Only the future will tell, but maybe the Stones will be back in 2009 for a new tour...

If so be sure I'll do my best to be there too !
