Here's another example of Keith playing with clear articulation. Smoothest he's been in sometime. It is exciting to watch his technique come alive. Really a good job by all here, when the guitars are stringing the sections together so perfectly we also hear a different Chuck who evokes much of the original recording here.

Are we to leap up and down in joy every time Keith comes almost near to playing a guitar part almost right?!'

Never in my life seen such appalling and totally shambolic security. At the eleventh hour, all those in the joint diamond and gold circle queue were told that the three left-hand aisles would be for gold circle only and the fourth right-hand aisle for diamond only. So it meant that many were wrongly positioned and there was a mad scrum for the diamond aisle in which I nearly got crushed and Paulywaul was involuntarily lifted off his feet. Then to add insult to injury, the diamond wristbands were at the first far left-hand aisle - the total opposite to what we'd been told - so it became a case of grabbing a wristband from someone standing there with them doing nothing. It was chaotic and dangerous initially.

<<Why would people pay a shitload of money to attend a live (!) concert to end up taping the best song of the set from a video (!) screen for 13+ minutes?>>

To upload it to their YouTube account where someone will post it on an international fan forum board, so that their video gets 29,846 (and counting) more views than it ordinarily would have gotten--and that's more people than who were at the show. And that's pretty good, when your video clip pulls in more fans than the Stones drew to one of their shows.

I don't get your point. As long as I don't get money from ads on youtube, why would I care how many people watch my video? Fame? Satisfaction? I go to concerts to enjoy the show, the music and the people around me. I don't think the Stones are a band that need viral "marketing" via videos on youtube to get attention.

amazing crowd - they went totally crazy for the duration of more than 2 hours (very rare at austrian concerts) ><

When Mick asked if anyone was there from Hungary I think 8-10.000 Hungarians answered loud + there were some 5-6.000 from Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland, Chech, many from Italy etc. (from the area of, you know, the former Austrian-Hungarian monarchy)

Alternatively, we can watch with interest how he delivers the spirit of his music in spite of the technical capability he has at his disposal

Next to me most people were fans in their twenties, what surprised me a bit.

just made it home after a 20+ hour train ride, must admit I'm loving the trains more and more and have a different perspective on traveling with every trip.

Vienna, you beautiful city with rocking crowds, I think I could come back for concerts in the future, love the trip and the atmosphere.

I was there for only two days after Budapest and Bratislava (which were as well a lot of fun) and I read the forum for details about a pre-meeting but I must have missed it.

Did some sightseeing before the show and while heading back to get confirmation for the tickets we passed by the Stones hotel just in time to see them leaving for the stadium. How's that for perfect timing?

My friend from Norway and I went to Prater before the show as it was close to the stadium, Prater was full of Stones t-shirts so in my view that was the pre-party, also the after-party.

So this time I didn't meet any other IORRians although I hoped, anyways. Got to the Lucky Dip queue (no queue really) at around 7.00 - 7.30 and got Block B tickets.

There were on the top level and on the side of the stage with a fenced entrance, that was a bit disturbing after the experiences so far.
With a bit of catching the opportunity, a little patience and some luck we sneaked into the very first row of the seated area, little above the standing area. I loved the spot you could hear well (sometimes with echo) and see the entire stage without reaching behind tall guys in front.

When the waves started in the crowd and all the clapping and cheering got me very excited about the show. And I definitely got Satisfaction from this crowd from the first riffs of Start Me Up I was shouting how I love the crowd.

I was standing right at the edge so I left my phone filming for quite a few songs while enjoying the show.

I feel too that Keith stole the show in Vienna, with the solos and the running and the smiles and I bet that screaming audience had a lot to do with it.
My friend said she's starting to play bass again when she gets back from the concert, and I'm definitely picking up my guitar.

I loved how the crowd was singing the choruses before Mick giving the tone and I was surprised to find myself so familiar to the show at this point that I almost now what's happening in the next moment.
The strange feeling for me is that I am now familiar with a Rolling Stones concert and one year ago I had no idea this was all coming. Fantastic!

Also realised that all these amazing experiences put together are incredibily fulfilling, I am simply happy when I'm at the concert, and loving the anticipation before and the big smile afterwards. Also, all these trips have indeed turned into amazing experiences. So I'm simply thankful to be a part of this story, to leave my little chapters and enjoy them to the max.

I don't know what the next show I'm going to is, maybe Rome, maybe Brussels, hopefully Stockholm but I'm confident there's at least one more, maybe two, maybe more...


So without further mumbling from my side, here is the video of the trip to Vienna, it's a big long but has moments with the band leaving, some of the show, a few bizzare moments like being in a shopping mall at 2am and some crazy rides in Prater:




Rock'n Roll!
