Original liner notes from She Comes In Colors:
It's been almost seven months since The Rolling Stones played their last show, but it seemed as if they had never taken a break when they kicked off their Ole South American Tour in Santiago De Chile last Wednesday. All the people expected the band's first show in Chile in almost 21 years to be a rough dress rehearsal for the most anticipated stop -the three nights at La Plata beginning on Sunday-, however it is difficult to pinpoint any obvious areas that require dramatic improvement: the 2 hours and 10 minutes show was almost flawless, a far cry from recent lackluster tour openers in San Diego last year or Oslo the year before.

The stage floor was low, much lower than what they used at many other stadium shows lately. around two meters max, and what a great new stage decorations, -just like the previous South America Tour (the short one) in 2006-, bright caribean style colours on the stage framing. And sauntering on that stage in front of thousands of fans, Mick appeared to be more sprightly than ever as he hopped, jumped, postured and swung his hips around with Start Me Up.

The great rocking & moving classic favorites It's Only Rock N Roll, Let's Spend The Night Together and Tumbling Dice followed, and also one Mick's loves that he's playing a lot these days, Out Of Control. And with those marvelous crowd pleasers we get to the one the crowd chose for tonight, She's A Rainbow, a real beauty we all loved and wasn't played since Athens in 1998! The fans chanted Ole, ole ... guitar, guitar as Mick strapped on his acoustic, with Ronnie at pedal steel, a pretty faithful version. Followed by Wild Horses, another superb favorite played magically and Paint It Black that made the crowd go really wild.

After the Paint It Black highlight and a little Honky Tonk Women -Keith hugged Ronnie at the end-, the band introduction: big news for the trainspotters was the debut of Sasha Allen, a moment some fans have been savoring for years. Sasha is easy on the eyes, and she did not hog the spotlight like her problematic predecessor did. Her vocals seemed more buried in the mix -as it should be- but she was completely self-assured, she is the new girl next to Bernard and she can sing! Gimme Shelter is great, it is hard to fill the position Lisa had in the band in this spot, just like it has been hard for Karl Denson and Tim Ries to do the Bobby Keys parts on Brown Sugar and Miss You, but these musicians are so professional they do know exactly what they are best at... and then they still add a little bit extra of themselves. They are not just sidemen, but also great performers. Keith Richards takes the stage up front while he crowd is singing Keitha! Keitha!Keitha!... Keith just stand there listening, proud to see fifty-five thousand fans singing his name in Chile, twenty-one year after he was here last time. Then as he has a show to do he says Muchas gracias and gets a great ovation. Two words, that's all it takes.

After Keith's small set, another highlight, Midnight Rambler, which clocked in at a relatively economical 13 minutes. Through the whole show we can see and feel Mick and Keith are connecting well, they have separate jobs to do but they do connect and interact at times, more than usual, exchanging smiles, and Chalie is smiling a lot, and Ronnie is having fun too. It seems like the two weeks of rehearsals in L.A. have done well with the band, they have found the formula; and of course touring 13, 14 or 15 shows in segments every year from 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and now 2016 is a new concept, it have not happened in decades, also the fact that they have toured five years in a row. Maybe it's all about energy: SO MUCH energy on stage.

With You Can't Always Get What You Want and Satisfaction, two of their most iconic songs, the seasoned pros ended the show. Mick and Keith are still best buds, and right at the very end, as Mick was wrapping up Satisfaction he backed into Keith, who pushed him back... You might have thought Oh God, World War III is about to start again, but Keith had a big grin, and he looked as if he was about to chase Mick around stage; both had a good laugh. and shared a cigarette during Jumpin' Jack Flash. After the final bows, Keith and Charlie walked off together, and just one more final thought: Ultimately, this is essentially a farewell tour for the benefit of the band's most fanatical -and unjustly ignored- followers, the South Americans. One thing is always true about a Rolling Stones concert: no one ever leaves unsatisfied.

She Comes In Colors is dedicated to Xavel, without whom this release would not have been possible.
