Arrived in Berlin. Short review of the show:
They used a mix of the Pinkpop and their usual stage (central screen with the golden frame and a much shorter catwalk). I arrived at 13:00 to the festival site and take a very good spot right next to the barrier next to the "b stage" at the end of the catwalk which was much shorter then the original one. Stayed here until the end. It was very hot but fortunately there were some clouds to hide the sun. The Stones hit the stage at 21:15 with JJF after we survived John Mayer's rather boring set. Great great starter! Humidity was around 90% or so and Mick was sweating like a horse. I think he ran less then in Zürich (my previous gig which was really good) and drank a lot. Even Charlie drank some water after almost every song. But Mick was amazing throughout the show, maintained the attention with some Dutch crap as usual and doing his trademark stage dash under BS. Even he dressed in a Holland World Cup shirt for Satisfaction. But the hero of the night was Keith IMO. He was really on fire, played fantastically and flawless. He enjoyed Doom and Gloom like never before. Ronnie was also good and as we know Charlie is always good .
Rocks Off was a great surprise and was a highlight for sure. They absolutely nailed it! OOC was, is and will always be a crowd pleaser I really like the tension of it especially live. There were lots of interactions between Mick and Keith and there was a magical moment under Miss You when Mick, Keith and Ronnie came down to the catwalk and at the 'B stage' Keith kneeled down then Mick too next to him and joking around (see my not too sharp picture). There were many usual problems in an unfamiliar stage set up, Mick always claimed for something and the sound was not as good as with a Stones setup (Darryl was too high in the mix and the sound was not that clear).
Overrally it was a fantastic party with both Stones fans and younger people from the festival and Keith is definitely got over his warm up period! Looking forward to the Berlin gig (it is really hot now around 35 Celsius degree, hope that will go down a little bit until Tuesday.)

Don't be silly ! I just wanted to say that Mick was talking a lot in Dutch that I don't understand. Maybe it was a wrong expression (I'm not English speaking) but please do not misundetstand things deliberately

Just saw the clip from Can't Be Seen posted by Stonesfan1962. Keith (and the band) absolutely nailed it! Even a little weaving!
Thank you Stonesfan1962 for filming.
