When he deviated twice, each time all lights when on and loudspeakers went out. Separately, I remember a bunch of schoolgirls being sent in with flowers for the star. An encore was not permitted. Frankly, I don't need that kind of performance, and if this is what the Stones signed up for, then they may have done so under the influence or because of the onset of senility.</p>
