I wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you’ve done to help all of us enjoy The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World, especially when they’re on tour. Over the years, the band and other sites have figured out how to share these experiences, but the IORR site has brought me a ton of enjoyment over the years and I wanted to be sure to tell you how much I appreciate all that you’ve done to enhance my experience as a raving fan of the Rolling Stones.
I’ve seen the band 25 times going back to 1969. And I’ve been following them on this site since 1999. I can’t tell you how much enjoyment I’ve gotten from the pictures, videos, reports and commentary from you and everyone who posts on the site. Every time the boys play a show, in a small way I get to share it, thanks to you and the community of Stones fans you’ve brought together.
We’ll probably never meet in person, but please know that there’s a whole of us who have really enjoyed visiting this site, especially during tours.
Will tomorrow’s show be “the last time?” I certainly hope not, but no matter what, I’ll be following it song by song on your site, blasting the tunes through my headphones with a shit eating grin on my face.
So thank you Bjornulf for enhancing my experience as a Stones fan. Be well and get home safely.
I sure hope that magic carpet ride of Stones Tours goes on for years to come. You can't count on much in this crazy world, but if there's a Stones concert, I know that you and your site will be there to bring it to me... if I can't be there myself.
I concur!! BV is and has been our Supreme Stones Tour Guide! It is very much appreciated and this is one of a few sites I visit EVERY DAY! Thanks for taking us along with you! Bravo and a Standing O for you!! This is the next best thing to being there! Thank You Thank You!
yes,thank you for everything.it was so fun to be at home or at work and follow the tour from the rehearsals to the show and everything in between. there is simply not one other place to get the kind of coverage of the rolling stones you see on iorr.the official site and the other fansites are not even in the same league.
i even found myself checking in on my phone during the day."lets see with the time change,and its morning here so they should be hitting the stage about..."
I'd like to sign this thank you card also. I've enjoyed IORR for many years and haven't found any that measure up to it. Great mix of people here who express their love of the greatest rock and roll band as much as I do. Sometimes there are disagreements, some bashing for a comment and even some that get picky about grammar but it's one big family to me. So yes, thank you Bjornulf Vik for bring us all together from every corner of the world and keeping this thing running for so many years.
I would like to chime in with a big hearty Aussie 'Thanks Mate!' as well. I saw you in the pit at Brisbane BV and wanted to thank you personally, but alas as soon as the show finished you were gone.
I have enjoyed following the live tour updates since 2012 and was very excited to get my turn to share these last few weeks.
Hats Off to you sir for creating such a wonderful space for us all.
