Good stuff coming out of the rehearsals. We may get some of them hopefully in the setlists. I think Keith will still have Can't Be Seen as a regular number with Happy or another Keith song at the gigs.

It might be that Keith is thinking The Worst/Can't Be Seen now? Maybe alternate CBS with BTMMR or Happy. But, hey, we never know - before we know it You Got The Silver is back in the set again - I don't mind anyhow

Can't Be Seen was a mess in the beginning of the tour, and wonderful later in the tour.

I wouldn't go that far....

Sway was good. Dead Flowers, She's so cold, Silver Train.

Strange mix of crowd. Spoke to two guys from iorr - nice blokes, plus another later who I never asked his nickname. Iorr people were friendly and didn't seem insane!

At the gates of the car park were mostly the serial celebrity chasing crowd, it would seem - the sound was best away from that spot anyway.

Press lady got blazed in the eyes with LED lamps cause she wouldn't listen and arrogantly made herself obvious, when she had a bloody great 400mm lens and could have stepped back discreetly. Silly cow had to ask me who Chuck was when she took his photo.

Mick Taylor is larger/taller than I imagined, as is Bernard.

Thanks, Macnee2!

Did they play Sway without re-starting it this time?

I reckon they had a few goes at Sway around about 5 when I wandered in.

It was pretty quiet - security were good with pointing out where to find water to drink and were cool. The bodyguards we ran into were also cool.
I'd say the crowd were about 10 iorr types listening for tunes and rarities and about 10 celebrity chasers. From some of the conversations of the more pushy acting fans, hanging around chasing ANY celeb is a respectable alternative to actually going to work and paying taxes.
Could these be the ones mistaken for Glenside inmates last Thursday by the Daily Mail?

I reckoned they would.

I wonder why they're playing the double intro, with all the instruments - instead of the normal intro, with one guitar, like on the studio version...

I don't know, but I heard slide guitar, and if it was Ronnie..

She would have bought that too. Lady was pleasant but admitted not knowing who any of the second team were.

is there any parking nearby ? Hitting town tmrw.

Park right next to the studio, everyone else did.

I'm going again tomorrow, nice bunch of people from this site.

Here's to all you lucky bastards (in the nicest sense) who are at rehearsals and
going to the shows this fall!!!

Have much fun, please. Looking forward to your reports.

~"Love is Strong"~

I heard it was 38 degrees in Adelaide today.......phew!

Four hours of rehearsals today, almost nonstop, hard work, and hardly any warhorses, for those who can't live with the greatest songs of the Rolling Stones for some reason... Anyway ... tonight was great for sure. Everybody is nice and friendly, we are a small group of some 15 or so fans, some call us stalkers, after all we are within a mental hospital complex so we are allowed to be anything we are. By the way I grew up in a mental hospital, my father was the gardener there, nothing wrong with being mental, we are all a bit mental at times, so I feel at home these days. But that is another story.

They started off with "Like A Rolling Stone", then rushed through the 60's and 70's with some fast songs, I have the complete list and I will post it tomorrow. I will just pick the best parts, because I understand there is still some sort of worry about the guest player that used to play the guitar in the early 70's...

You can hear it within seconds when Mick Taylor is plugged in. He simply start playing with his guitar like a runner is warming up for a race. It all comes natural. So I can hear the first tones of SWAY from the guitar of Mr Taylor. Mick Taylor that is. He simply play with his guitar until the rest of the band is ready. Then they do a number of intros of Sway, they always do that at rehearsals, Mick Jagger stop the song and they restart it and they want it right from the start, so after 3 or 4 starts we are on. They do two complete takes of Sway. May be they will do it at Perth #2, that is my best guess for now. It is not a stadium song, and it is not a "first night in the city" song, but you never know. It is very, very powerful, and every time I hear it, on stage or at rehearsals, I feel it is all worth the travel and hazzle to be there. SWAY!!!!

Silver Train again and again. Great. Midnight Rambler. Very short because there is no crowd inside the building where they rehearse. We are outside... Probably just 7 minutes or so. But Mick Taylor is playing here for those who still not trust what I am saying.

Chuck Leavell is leaving they say. After they finish "Loving Cup". So I assume the rehearsals are over. Everybody is over by the cars. I hang around where we can hear what they play and I hear they are still on, Mick is still there, they do Dead Flowers, but the next one is more interesting, the highlight of the day...

I hear Mick and a piano. Two complete runs like they are working their way through the song. So who is playing the piano? Tim? Mick? I assume Tim Ries is playing. It is like a new song, they adventure into it and by take two I hear the bass and the drums and the guitars are coming. So we get the full version of "Shine A Light". What more can you expect when you are in time zone +8,5 vs Europe and half an hour away from any parts of the rest of Australia? It made my day, I just love the rehearsals, just like I love Adelaide, to bike around in the city and at the rehearsals, and in four days we will have a bunch of these songs for real on stage at the Adelaide Oval!

More tomorrow, a lot more, I just need some sleep...

hey Macnee2..what's the Aussie lingo like that far south in the "City of Churchs" compared to the rest of Aussie yea like ya getting called mate every 5 minutes it's hardcase when the Shelias call mate a..cheers mate

Mate gets thrown around a lot but only Alf Stewart and guys that were old in the 1970's still say Sheila.

Great report, Bjørnulf! You Aussies are up for a treat here

Thank you very much bv. It must be a wonderful time there.

Great report Bjornulf. Your account of events really brings it to life. Just 15 fans then ? At the full rehearsal at the Telenor I think it could have been around 30-40. I'm REALLY getting withdrawal symptoms now so I'm perhaps a bit mental myself

Hope you're all enjoying yourselves down under

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. Sure it is great to be at every single rehearsal. It takes some extra days or weeks of thtravel schedule but when I get old I will sit on a rocky chair and think back at those great memories from when the "boys" gave us all these great moments. Worth every single eight and a half hours of jetlag!

Bjornulf

Thanks so much BV and Macnee2.

The rehearsals have worked out much better for you all than I expected ,in every respect.

Wish I was there there with you all, but South America is my goal, hopefully Feb/March time.

Have a great time the rest of the week. It's all turning out great. ><
