thank you for some of the greatest moments in my life for the last 48 years.
and thanks to my late classmate Oswald who passed on the Stones virus with the "The Rolling Stones" album ( Germany release ) which we listened again and again. My first single was 'come on ' and ' tell me ' was the point from where there was no cure anymore. My first show was Frankfurt Oct 6, 1970.
Since my job moved me to China in '89 I had no access to shows until 2003 when
I met my late friend Bernd at the Hannover show, who helped me to get access to numerous ( few hundred ) bootlegs that I could catch up what I missed in between,
From this show, I used to go with my kids, which catched the virus from me by hearing Stones songs all the time. Now they are adult and we still enjoy to go to Stones shows together. Most recently I flew to London to meet my daughter for the nov 29show and an extended weekend in London and 2 weeks later I hit the plane to NJ to meet one of my sons who live in Texas for the Dec 13 show. We were looking to each other in the tongue pit asking " is this real? the Stones are on stage and play better then 10 years ago .." next day we flew to Texas and I spent the weekend with the family and my grandson. What a lucky man I am.
Thanks to BV for running this site for so many years and to his counterpart in the US,Stones Doug and all the fans posting there and keep us updaste about the Stones World.
Mick's remark at the end of the last show give me hope, that there is still more to come and I can't wait to see them hit the stage again. I will be there as long as I can walk and breathe.
