Will there be reports tonight from the lucky 27 ? It would be great to know how everyone is playing and singing - good news that Keith is playing well - bodes well for the tour.

for me sympathy was not very good, except the Keith solo : his guitar (les paul junior 53) was CRYING as in the first solos of this song , very good.
Ron was very good too on this song. But there were some recorded sounds i think for the beginning , not so nice for me.
JAgger player very good guitar too on Mss you, i must confess, its the first time i hear his playing it was good, funcky.

I did not make it for the rehearsals unfortunately. I have been in Paris for 3 weeks, arriving to Paris one week before they started rehearsals, but on Friday I was on the plane back home to Norway while they gave out numbers to the lucky 27. If I had stayed I would have been number 5 or so like I used to be every day.
But no regrets. I wanted to be back home for three small days before I go on the entire tour for nearly two months now. Back home to my wife and family. The toughest part of following the Stones as much as I do is missing the family.
I am so happy for all the good friends I met in Paris who made it into the rehersals performance, but I am also sad for those who spent every day with me there, but just came 5 minutes or so too late on the last day.
I have so many great memories from the rehearsals. Some are posted here in this thread, some are published in this new complete list of reherased songs:

I will make the rest of my comments in my countdown thread:

I talked with the sad fews #28,29 and 30.
They arrived just after Charlie, the last Stone to reach Bondy that day.
It seems the "rule" was to take the ones already there before the arrival of the last Stone!!
Bjornulf was absent, back in Norway
Among the 27, most were regular of the rehearsals but i would say 4-5 may have been informed about that special day AND that special time (be there before 3pm).
During the "show", some gate/door was opened, so the sound was better from outside.
After the "show", they played the end of the set list and BS sounded very slow (i didn't say BAD)
