Tomorrow Thursday is the day for the 2nd show. The Rolling Stones are back to the O2 Arena in London to perform with guests including Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor among others. Please post your pre-show and post-show thoughs and reports here.

The Pilot Inn pub is once more the recommended place to meet up on show day during the afternoon. It is a nice pub just a few steps past the O2 Arena. As you stand just outside the O2 main entrance, the tube station is to your right, the needle and the parking and park is in front of you. Walk straight ahead, with the Emitates building soon to your left, through the park, and you are there in 5-10 minutes. Food, drinks, memories, many fans visiting IORR.

Wishing everyone a wonderful time again.

Keep On Rolling

The Stones usually begin a tour in the USA!!!

I'm jealous but happy again...

I guess Bill Wyman doesn't really like to fly anymore and just stay in London!

I'm at the 02 right now. There's nobody here! I'll keep you up to date if the situation changes!

Maul PcCartney should open for the Stones tormorrow.

Thanks for holding the fort, it sounds like you're going to be first in line...hopefully you have a pit ticket!

I for one am teetering on the brink of giving it one more/last shot...I mean how many more times will I be able to see Taylor play with them? One could argue that once was enought, but...

rolling in by Eurostar around 18h, straight to the 02 to meet my friend "mister BB"

I find it interesting that the set list for Nov 25 followed a certain rough formula -- First 11 songs were largely chronological, then they had two Wyman songs, two Keith songs, and then closed out with 8 warhorses/big hits. I wonder if upcoming set lists will preserve the nature of this "formula". If they swap out any of the first 11, will chronology be preserved? Do we know that from here on out, once Keith finishes, the rest of the show will be all warhorses/big hits? No complaining here, and no requesting anything. Just musing....found it quite interesting how the first 11 songs were assembled and enjoyed that. Also, it seems with the commitment to song specific artwork for Honky Tonk Woman and Tumbling Dice, it is hard to imagine either of those not being played in every show (and glad about that too). BTW, i hate to admit it, but i really enjoyed the Anime reverse themed video that accompanied Honky Tonk Woman.

Tickets available today at this ticket outlet at Picadilly Circus. Chuck will be replaced by Rick Wakeman on Thursday

Wow prog rock here we come! So did they actually have tickets?

Rick Wakeman!!!!! did I missed something?

Who the @#$%& is Rick Wakeman?

I said earlier that tickets will now flood the market.......once the excitement and hype from the opening show is gone and everyone has watched the YouTube clips, it all becomes rather mundane.

Another reason why the pre mobile phone era really was the golden age......

Yes.

Also affectionately known as the pianist on Bowie's first masterwork Hunky Dory. And he will definitely need to return to that spirit and sprinkle in a little Leon Russell if the Stones (or should we say their ticketbrokers) are just gonna pencil him into the lineup like that. lol.

He'll be playing excerpts from The Six Wives Of Mick Jagger.

In the pit tomorrow with my 15 year old daughter...cant wait to see the Stones again and cant wait to see my daugthers face when the Stones hit the stage and that the 2 hours that follow will be printed in her memory forever....

Hendrik Mulder

We'll be there tomorrow... and we are very happy to see the Stones again after more than 5 years of waiting . At the Moment I'm getting a bit nervous... . Additional we hope to meet many other fans well known from former gigs...

There hasn't been ONE show in 25 years I visited where you couldn't buy tickets just before the show -and that includes Paradiso and all the club gigs in 2003.

I will be there tomorrow with Daniel N. See you at the Pilot Inn and at the show!!!

Another girl Mick wants to give the "bigger band in my bedroom" experience?
I must admit she's gorgeous...

So she'll guest on GS Clapton will do his thing on C&Reefer. And Taylor will fly on CYHMK?
(just guessing...)

Clapton would be fantastic! No Jeff Beck!!!

Mathijs

Florence? Why? She's got nothing to add! At least May J Blige has got the voice, but Florence? Totally overrated.

Clapton on the other hand would be cool!

This is getting better and better!
