Hope they woudn't mind to pay £200,000 fine again.

I just can't believe this schedule! Think they will do a regular 2+ hours set, even they did it on a festival...

so be calm, perhaps it's only some misinformation (as usual from BST )

I reckon a couple of hours too. Still, I'd much rather pay £95 to see 1 hour 45 minutes of the Stones than to be paid that much to suffer three hours of Bon Jovi.

Thats not the point. If those timings are right, its a case of one band catering very well for their fanbase and another one taking the money and running.

I've read somewhere that the curfew @ Hide Park starts @ 22:30, therefore a two-hour set should be expectable. Moreover, according to the newspapers last year Springsteen's microphones have been silenced only after the 22:30 curfew had been exceeded by half an hour.

I'm pretty sure they cut him off at 22:40.

2240 is correct. I was there and looked at my watch when it happened.

They will play up to the minute finishing at 10:30pm sharp. I have been to all of the Stones shows at Wembley Stadium, they all started 8:25pm due to the 10:30pm curfew. They know what they are doing, and I would not look for any scandal until the show is performed and the lights are all out.

Lol BV. Scandalous

I believe they are routinely hit with similar fines just for smoking onstage, which they do every show.

why 45 minutes break between the opening acts? it doesn`t make sense

So that the roadies can set up each band's equipment including guitars and drums and the like and check the sound and tuning.

We've all done it in our time - my great moron moment was to claim that BBC Radio were broadcasting a recording of the Twickenham show from earlier that evening - it turned out to be some other show which of course I should have recognised. Had everybody jumping up and down for about five minutes, though.

Well how was the time check on this?

According to bv, on at 8.25, off at 10.30 - 2 hours 5 minutes. The security lady facing me was checking her watch constantly after 10.15 so I guess they cut it fine.

No, they didn't play 2 hours and 5 minutes.

The fans video began at 8.27 and they arrived on stage at 8.30
The show finished at 10.28 and left the stage at 10.30

So, they were on stage 2 hours, not even one second less, not even one second more.

It's surely misinformation... On my player... the bootleg of the show is running 2:05:46... I won' say nothing, but I share MoreFastNumbers above post opinion!

OK. I forgot my watch yesterday so you're probably right. Though I don't remember a fan video - just the drums.

Let's hope they manage to tweak the timings a bit more next week.

I call the fan video the video which we could see many images of Hyde Park in 69 with Let's Spend the Night Together in off.

Benjamin.

I thought they played 2 hours 5 minutes, the fan video started about 8:20/22.

Next time someone should take a stopwatch

Good call by bv!

For the trainspotters among us, I just noticed that the Stones were now scheduled to go on stage at 22h25 vs 22h30 last week...having said that they're also showing that for the 6t, so...[www.bst-hydepark.com] - anyway a bit more time for CYHMK instead of Bitch ? ;-)
