Making notes on how to get there and back right now.

Hope to find a party pre-show. Post show I need to get a train back to Hachioji before it stops running.

Hope to bump into many of you there. I'm wearing the Werchter 2007 tour opener event shirt tonight: Red shirt with Yellow Angel with Stones Tongue shield on grey devil.

Cheers

Peter

If they play Silver Train will MT be invited out?

You will want to get to Shinjuku Station and then board any CHUO LINE train bound for Takao, as they all make a stop in Hachioji. Travel time is about
45-60 mins so plan to depart Shinjuku Station absolutely no later than 11pm.

Thanks StonedIn Tokyo.

I knew the Chuo line part. I've been here before. But didn't know which lines to take from Tokyo or Shinjuku to the dome. I found N or M to Korakuen St will do the trick.

Also apparently the show will be over early, so I don't have to worry about missing the last train.

On the last tour I was out of the show in Tokyo right after the final bow, as Mick, who always is last off stage, did his final bow and went behind the curtains. Then within a few minutes I was at Korakuen station and I think within 15 minutes back at my hotel even after changing underground line halfway. Tokyo moving around is easy, but I never wait until the queue is building up.

Now on show day I stay over at Korakuen so it is just 5 minutes walking, much more easy.

Enjoy the show!

No need to get nasty, when someone's just jokeing around!

So about 3-4 hours to show time....

No matter whether warmy weather, this is something that I just can't miss.
C'mon baby, Let The Stones Roll.

Almost show time... Remote Viewing "ON"

checking the fotos it seems that the stage is again far out of reach and very high while the catwalk out to the audience is lower at the end.

That catwalk is waaaaay too high. I hope they don't have sight issues for those in front rows.

It does look high...

Thank you for posting pictures Claudine

Tokyo Dome looks immense!!

have a great time everybody, think it's about to kick off
