very cool straycat58 . . . but why London?
Why not a convention type thing in say New York or San Francisco? Perhaps a local classic rock radio station would help out with the logistics, and also the tribute bands' connections. Through the fan club or other media outlets you could try to get vendors as you were saying before, perhaps a midnight screening of Gimme Shelter at a local theater or a matinee screening of Hyde Park . . .
pitch your idea to a classic rock station in a major market and see what happens. Not sure where you are, but I would think for 1969 purposes either New York or San fransisco would be appropriate.

I really like your suggestion!
On the other hand, I think it is too sentimental, too romantical....
I mean....Our Boys they don't know anything about History and so on....they just live day by day and they don't give a shit about our opinions, which is their right. How would you or I be in their situation?
Love your idea though!

Scottkeef is right, we're almost at 50% geographically distributed but nothing impede to organize two events: Hyde Park day and Altamont day or whatever day belonging to the US Tour.
Despite the several suggestions and proposed locations for which we can discuss and find the best solutions, I understand that you agree in principle on the proposal.
I think at this point an intervention of Bjornulf, Gazza and the other senators of this forum is requested.

Tks for your immediate replies. Since we have 6 months to discuss the program, I suggest we should first of all confirm if we're positive towards this project and then make a calculation of how many we are.
Anyway, without the UK fans logistic support it'll be an hard task.
BTW: I went to see Tim Ries with Lisa and Bernard in London 2007; we were no more than 300. I expect a IORR reunion, if organized by BV and Gazza could gather 10 times more.
