This thread is for live updates and comments regarding the Rolling Stones SINGAPORE show on Saturday March 15, 2014. Please tell us your pre- and post-show thoughts and comments here.

SHOW START & TIME ZONE INFO:

The show is expected to start shortly after 8pm. Singapore is 7 hours ahead of Central Europe, 8 hours ahead of UK and 13 hours ahead of US East coast.

8pm Singapore time =
1pm Central Europe (CET) =
noon UK =
7am US East Coast (EST) =
4am PST (LA/SF/Calif etc)

MEETING PLACE ON SHOW DAY:
It is a big area, but I found a nice place outside the arena. It is on the city side, if you walk out of the towers and cross the street into the arena building, it is through that building. If you come from the city just cross the walking bridge, walk by the very nice water lilys, and it is there in front. No name or sign to be seen, but it is called:

SOUTH COAST @MBS - Restaurant and bar

If you are there you will see the large LOUIS VUITTON sign on the building across the walkways, placed in the water, and right next to the bar/restaaurant there is a black building named "BAZIN" "Reopening soon". Then there is a large white MERCHANDISE tent (nice T-shirts 14 On Fire), then the entrance to the arena and right now some "Marina Bay Sands - Rocks Singapore" stage. There are many waterholes there too, but they are hard to arrange vs meeting, and theey are may be not so good for food.

The South Coast bar/restaurant have got VB beer and 3 more on draft/tap, and the food is perfect. I have been living on all sorts of food during the paast few weeks so I would know.

Show start shortly after 8pm, so I would recommend this meeting place between 5pm and 7pm.

Ooh, I like. Reminds me of my chow chow.

In a pizza place at the venue. So far they've played Melody, Monkey Man and Neighbours on the sound system. This place is getting better in the mood..

And now Slave!

There won't be a satellite feed. You only need that for TV transmission.

Peace,

So it is the smallest venue in this leg of tour, and the band on fire. Sounds promising. But of course, being not such an usual place for them, so they are not going to be too adventurous.

Some pre-gig set list speculation.

In Shanghai they varied five songs in their set list, which probably is the record during the recent tour (and I take that to include 50 AND COUNTING TOUR as well). Okay, Chineze authorities had a hand on that, but if we stick within the bounds of realism, today we will going to hear three or four variations, "Brown Sugar" and "Honky Tonk Women" making a come-back. The third new song will be from fan vote, and most likely it is "Let's Spend The Night Together". Like I was informed, the song had not yet been played at all, even though it was once a candidate in some fan vote during American tour. Personally I would like them to do "When The Whip Comes Down", since their reading of "Respectable" was surprisingly strong, but that doesn't sound very realistic. Off goes "Street Fighting Man", "All Down The Line" and "Dead Flowers" surely, replaced by those above-mentioned songs, and the vacancies of "Get Off of My Cloud" - the second song of the set - and "Ruby Tuesday" - the ballad of the set - are also those which might vary. The first one is seriously challanged by "You Got Me Rocking", which seemingly worked very well at least in Japan. "Ruby Tuesday" might be replaced by other classics, such as "Wild Horses", "Angie" or "Beast of Burden", but if they really go crazy, we might hear "Worried About You" or even "Streets of Love" or "Till The Next Goodbye".

So easy it is...

Love your post Doxa!! Thinking the same thing. Crossing my fingers that the band relished on the changes in Shangai..

Have a great time

Keep On Rolling

Thank you Doxa for your bang on speculation!
It's becoming exciting to witness each show on these live comments threads.
No matter the set list, each show is an event in itself.
Coffee is almost ready!
Enjoy everyone!

A show for the next DVD/download?

For those who wish they could be there .....

I wonder why Charlie has his name a guitar pick.

Ouch, I forgot Keith's set.... there is an option for variance as well. Is "Happy" going to survive, or do we go back to normal with "Before They Make Me Run".

Soon we will know! 40 minutes to go... BV and the other IORRians heading from a pub to venue, we here behind our laptops... IS EVERYBODY READY?
