No e-ticket for this show.. Could not find one..
e-visa.. forgot it.. April was not funny, . I lost my mother
I had tons of work, plus this terrible thing... . I thought.. I'm going to go a couple of shows, my mother, she was a sort of fan at 89... She had followed me on the map, in November, when I went to Australia and NZ
Makes me remember.. When she had her 85 birthday, she asked me to listen to the whole Sticky Fingers album
Yeap, before the Fonda show.
In the seventies, she thought Stones were all about drugs and bad thing, but after 40 years of playing the daammed LPs, she finally loved it.
Rest in peace, ma.

"Not a serious fan" does that mean do anything for them, like jump off a bridge if they say to? In all fairness I suppose there are different levels of fandom. But after 52 concerts, 700 CDs, 200 LPs and countless amounts of memorabilia I thought I qualified. Guess I'm wrong.

Good topic. I left early 2 out 5 gigs last year. Both times were after Midnight Rambler, for obvious reasons. Still don't regret it though I may not see The Stones again. In my opinion there's no reason to go to multiple shows any longer, since the setlist doesn't change (basically). And to be honest I'm grateful for this. If there's a next time I only have to go once.

I like leaving at the end with the crowd...kinda like leaving the mall after the fireworks in DC. Everyone sings patriotic songs on the metro on the way home - same with a Stones concert. We had a long walk back from the stadium in Pittsburgh and the crowd was a lot of fun. My son was doing sing song "woo hoo's" with like minded fans and it sounded like hoot owls in the night, especially in the tunnel. It cracked us up all the back to the hotel. To me, the crowds are part of the whole experience. Driving is different, you just have to get in the zone of patience and don't forget to pee before you leave. Tip of the day, folks.

Yes I did ones in the shitty Amsterdam Arena, that's sounds if your sitting in a biscuit tin..............so I left when Brown Sugar started...actually was still listing to the previous song because of time differences (speed of sound) if you are sitting way back on top in the Arena.......parking lot was almost empty when leaving ...............

I thought about leaving during Satisfaction many times. It bores me every time. No joke.[/quo
Until the other day, I had not realized they have been riding the same encore since 07'ish. I was critical of the choir when that started( not very rock and roll), and critical of the song placement in general. SFM or JJF.......a good Sympathy......hell even MR?
