Tell Me :
Talk
You jet-lagged too, huh?
I slept for about four hours on the plane and its already 7am on my clock, I feel great. But its only 4am here. Its best not to run around at that time in any major US city. No matter what area you're in. So I figured I'd IORR for a while until first light, then go get that ticket. (I Hope So).
Haha, I can only imagine!
Or even better: rent a bike.
When you're in front of the Fonda Theatre and you hear at 1:45 tickets will be sold somewhere else (most likely!) at 2:00 one or to miles from the FT it will be a freak show. So you gotta need reliable and fast transport...before others can get in a car you're already half way.
that's a very good piece of advice right there.
best of luck to all.
seeing the Stones in a theater is the grail for me.. cant get to this one though..
...It's how the guitarists do it, too:
And they might use FT partners to sell tickets...
Beware of that possibility!
FT partners: Origami Vinyl is on 1816 W.Sunset Blvd and Amoeba Music is on 6400 Sunset Blvd.
Edit: maybe someone close can check if there's a temporary no parking sign as well or if there's something else going on that indicates a RS ticket purchase...?

Good old Transam Trucking Ltd of Suffolk, England. They do loads of Concert logistics. I saw them all parked in a row behind the Tele2 in Stockholm too.
Talk about your favorite band.

If you can feel it in London think about what it feels like here. Its only 415am and I can' hardly take a breath. I live for this.

I'm from London, but over in Spain till a few days before The Who gig in Hyde Park and I can feel the excitement as well.
Will be following it all on IORR up to the San Diego gig on Sunday with the great thought of another Rolling Stones Tour just starting again.
I was in Oslo for that gig and the 2 days outside Telenor Arena, and it is just the same feeling even though I am nowhere near LA.

If you don't have a car do Uber. They are there in a minute and you can pay them to wait. Cheaper than a cab. I too am in LA in my hotel. Probably gonna start Rolling at sun up.
This is what its all about if The Stones are a way of life. I happen to have on CDA from GHS. F-ing fantastic!!!
Or even better: rent a bike.

Sitting at my desk in Knoxville, TN rooting for all IORRians to have success getting into tonight's show. Reading your reports and feeling your excitement is MUCH better than the twitter nonsense from the other day!
Can't wait to read the updates!
Peace,
Mr DJA

Good luck to you all. This show will be memorable and a very special warm-up. I'm getting exited about what the setlist will look like. Hope everyone who went there, or will go soon, will get in! Exiting times as a stones fan!

Hi Mr Crawdaddy
And that's how I recognised Mr Powderman, standing right next to me in the audience for the excellent Midnight Ramblers tribute act at the John Dee club the night before the gig ! I went to the actual gig itself with him too.
Mr DP played a starring role all weekend, welcoming lots of visiting non Norwegians into his entourage, you and I included.
I'll be at that Who gig in Hyde Park next month, but in with the riff raff in GA ><
Still highly tempted to go to the US - my loosley proposed gigs are Detroit & Buffalo. I have an addiction to feed......

Do you think the periscope-thing means that the concert today gets streamed?
Seems logical to me because what else should they stream if not the concert?
(rehearsals are maybe finished already)
If they do a stream I will stand up in the middle of the night to watch it (and if it's available on the computer I'll try to record it)
Stonesnews.com writes:
"Apparently, there's a filmcrew at the theatre and maybe there is a broadcast later [thx paperposter, sdb]. That could point less to a simple warm-up gig but more to a kind of DVD production or something. The filming is done by JA Digital from London, UK."
Do you think they want money for the stream?
I think about buying a iTunes Gift Card to be prepared if it's an in-app-purchase.
But I also wonder what is the point to do professional filming on a warm-up gig. It's called a "warm-up gig" because it's a warm up for the tour - sure they are a little bit rusty since their last concert was in november. Wouldn't it make more sence to do a filming towards the end of the tour? I saw there are more free days during the concerts than it was on the last tour.
