great great great-and thanks for the reports.
i have to admit that everytime i had to look at my calender for business,in the back of my mind i was thinking...6 more weeks...5 more weeks....2 more weeks.
just an uneasy feeling the whole time the band was off the road that i cant explain. seeing the fans outside the rehearsals and the band arriving made things so much better,like we can exhale now.
cant wait for monday and the show reports-so far,so good brother.

Some photos shot from distance, but you can see Keith's smiling as always

"Mick was the last one out tonight from the extended rehearsals at the Telenor Arena. And he was the only one to roll down the car window. We were few, and he gave us a big and wide smile. I could read he was ready and he was enjoying being on the road again soon."
So nice to hear. Thanks.

Mick was the last one out tonight from the extended rehearsals at the Telenor Arena. And he was the only one to roll down the car window. We were few, and he gave us a big and wide smile. I could read he was ready and he was enjoying being on the road again soon.
Today they did SWAY with Mick Taylor. Before they were ready to do that song Mick Taylor was playing with his guitar. So what happens then? First it was his "Midnight rambler" intro, then he moved into "You Goptta Move". A greast blues improvisation by a great blues guitar player. Then they were all ready and they did SWAY...
We got Worried about you with Mick on the piano. We got a strong and loud and dirty "Street Fighting Man". They did "Dead Flower" because thjey know Norway must have a country song.
And they did "Can't You Hear Me Knocking". Of course. With Mick Taylor. Of course.
Keith did "You Got The Silver" and "Can't Be Seen". So there will be changes in his set too.
All in all 24 songs with 3 takes of Out Of Control. Including the Mick Taylor blues special.
We were four fans as Mick arrived, and the small group had grown into some 17 fans as they left. Some left for the Peter Gabriel show in Spektrum. I hope Gabriel was good. Personally I biked around Telenor Arena a dozen or two times. And as they had all left, I biked home with a big big smile. I had seen Mick, he was happy, he gave us a great smile, and it is great to be a Stones fan when the band give such great feedback to us, after a long evening of great songs.
I will write more later, and I have got a nice little souvenir to show, stay tuned.
By the way, the first fans from abroad started to arrive today, friends from UK and Japan among others. Tomorrow Saturday will be busy.

Alex Richards just posted that she was on her way to Oslo--"heritage is always important." I hadn't remembered about the Hansens having Norwegian heritage. So I guess this is quite a personal gig for them.
