Anyone know if they have been rehearsing this week? Mick mentioned using some songs from 1969, so I'd like them to have rehearsed Stray Cat Blues

So the situation at the moment for tier 2 tickets:
entry from West entrance and we will get barclaycard-wristbands?

Wasn't there also some early entry thing for GA with barclaycard?
this option came afterwards and only for uk residents. Or do I remember wrong?

Why would UK residents be the only ones to get early entry? (Not saying that's wrong, just whining.)

Just downloaded the BST Hyde Park iphone App. The map shown there for the Stones shows the Gold and Diamond circles. I'll wait for a further version tomorrow......probably several versions throughout the day.
Also, as a Tier 2 ticket holder, I should use the west entrance. The latest map does not show a west entrance. Seriously, my dog could've organised this better.

I was in Hyde Park this evening and suddenly 'Start Me Up' blasted out....whilst it was evidently a sound check, it was recorded and not Live. Sounded really good and crystal clear so hopefully the promised upgraded sound system is indeed a reality. The park is looking good,weather is going to be great this weekend and next week so all set for a fantastic concert!

Some good news at last!

on this map it does not look like a great view for T2 (and most of T1)

It looks OK to me provided that it is not rammed full. There is supposed to be space for people to sit and chill out all day.

I think they expect you to do the sitting in the Garden or the BUBB so you can spends loads of money on refreshments.

Mick: Stones to play same set list as in 1969.

[www.telegraph.co.uk]

Do folks here really think they're going to play I'm Yours and I'm Hers, Mercy Mercy and Down Home Girl? (It would be cool if they did.) This would also mean: no TD, no Start Me Up, no Miss You, no Doom and Gloom, no Brown Sugar (!!!).

We already know Mick really isn't serious about this as otherwise the Song Vote wouldn't include post-69 numbers.

Maybe, but you do get "Loving Cup" as well as "Love In Vain." Mind you, it is probably Mick having a laff, but one can always keep the fingers crossed

Reminds me of Twickenham 2006, when Jagger asked from the audience that since they used to play quite near in Richmond, did anyone caught them there at the time. Since no much response, he said "Don't worry, the set list is the same"...

But jokes aside, I checked the Hyde Park set list in Gazza's fantastic set list page, and made some observations.

Firstly, the show was the live debut of of such iconic Stones songs as "Honky Tonk Women", "Midnight Rambler" and "Street Fighting Man". Also such strong cuts as "Love In Vain", Stray Cat Blues" and "Loving Cup" made their debut, plus the real oddities "I'm Yours, She's Mine" and "Down Home Girl". That is to say, out of 15 songs, only 6 had been played before.

Secondly, if we leave the special TV show "Rock and Roll Circus" out - that no had seen by then - it was also an actual live premiere of "Sympathy For The Devil" and "No Expectations".

Some conclusions/interpretations.

- among other things Hyde Park shows to be historical ones, it is also to celebrate the debuts of such iconic war horses songs such as "Honky Tonk Women", "Midnight Rambler" and "Street Fighting Man". And I would also claim "Sympathy" goes for the same status.
- The Stones will play in any case "Jumping Jack Flash", "Satisfaction", "Rambler", "Sympathy" and Honky Tonk Women" from the original Hyde park set (5 of 14)
- of the others, they had played during this tour "Love In Vain", "Street Fighting Man" an "No Expectations". During A BIGGER BANG TOUR they've played also "I'm Free" and "Loving Cup". "Stray Cat Blues" is familiar at least from LICKS TOUR. That is to say that those songs are not really obscure to them, so 11 of 14 '69 numbers are within the realm of their reach
- only three songs are total obscurities: "I'm Yours, She's Mine", "Down Home Girl" and "Mercy Mercy"

Speculations: were there some truth in Jagger's joke?

- like said, we surely going to hear 5 of 14. Then we have 6 potential ones
- does Jagger check Gazza's set list? Who knows, but I suppose his source is the same as most of people's: THE STONES IN THE PARK document. I'm rather sure he consults it to fresh his memories of the event to get the "feeling". What we find there: "Love In Vain" and "I'm Free" comes easily to mind, and the bit of "Street Fighting Man" which is a special 68/69 era strong, especially for Londoners
- summa summarum: my guess is that "Love In Vain" and "Street Fighting Man" will be heard in Hyde Park, "I'm Free" will make its debut during the recent tour. Since they have two shows, they might play some other "original" Hyde Park song as well. That will make it "the same list" enough in Jaggerian language.

The Stones in the Park, man!

when mick said it was the same set list, he was making fun of the stones for playing predominantly war horses from the 60s. classic mick self-depracating humor.

street fighting man is indeed evocative of london and that time; i think it's a great candidate. i'm free is also a good candidate, and provides the opportunity for a ticket price joke prior to the number. it has the added benefit of having at least one popular cover version in the UK, so would be broadly recognized across generations whilst still a "rarity".

i don't think there's any chance of them playing love in vain, but i hope i'm wrong.

also - look for an adjustment in response to the chilly reception the taylor jams got in glastonbury.

I would LOVE to hear I´m free! Not to mention Mick T on Love in vain! :-D Let´s just wait and see.... Off to London later today.

It would certainly be a dream come true for me, if they indeed played the same set

However, we should keep in mind what we are asking for, as that setlist is dominated by the war horses

BTW, have you gotten your ticket yet, Doxa? I'll have to stand in the line tomorrow...

just read the comments on the telegraph web site to the story about mick joking abou the same set list.
really harsh comments. not a single positive one.

to paraphrase a few:

"very little new material since 73"
"saw them the first time in hyde park, they were terrible and we left early"
"most people say they embarrassed themselves at glastonbury, only the press is giving them good reviews"
"they've been playing the same set list ever since"

are the stones a joke to the general public these days?

Todays email from BST contained this image:



So are we back to the classical Gold Circle?

No i think that's just the setup for today, technically speaking there are no category called "circle" for the stones.

Hope so, but I think this is the map only for Bon Jovi..

they keep really busy people designing new stage layouts each day... The question of the final setting that will be used is even more thrilling than the setlist

They might even come up with one seating plan for the first Stones show and a second layout for the second show.

Yeah, got mine in post two weeks ago. So I guess I should consider myself a lucky one, couldn't even start to worry too much....

So sad we see different concerts; it would have been a pleasure to see you, you know, after all these years (even lately the Taylor drama have abit seperated us)... I might be critical from a distance, but when it goes to actually experiencing them live, I leave the brains out and go nuts...

But have a great concert with your daughter, Dandie! I have the guts that these concerts are going to be great events, and the band continues there where they left us in Glasto.

I am starting to think this confusion is deliberate ...

In all honesty how long would a company last if it was this incompetent on a daily basis.

If you think what you are going through ....

Now if you were trying to sell tickets for profit you really would be freaking out cos up until a few hours ago T1 and T2 looked like they did not have a great view.
No ones going to pay ££££ through the nose for those anymore .

I think T1 shrunk because the scalpers asked for refunds.
BST then put T2 back up for sale a couple of days last week and just sold the unused T1s as T2.

the rock-n-roll business has a long standing distaste and disregard for fans of rock and roll. it's a long standing tradition.

Wishing everyone a great show! Enjoy! ><

Have a good time with the Stones!
