I am in my hotel room. I am spent. I had no idea that this was going to happen today. I was not sure I had even recovered from Fonda. I was home making chicken soup looking forward to following Columbus on RS.com and IORR. The next show I have tickets for is ATL (LDs with my aunt).
Give me a couple of minutes to get cleaned up and order some room service. I'll give a synopsis of my experience of the journey to Belly UP '15.
There were also a few questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability.
Can you hear in the back? Can you hear anything in the back at all?

How odd and kitschy. Weren't they a Planet Shattering Attraction before '74?

Hello, 2am SD time. My new found co-workers don't want to leave. Outstanding party!!! Fonda '15 was an intimate special concert. Belly up is a great fiesta.
The people who work this venue see Big name acts all the time. Everyone of them said they had seen nothing like the Stones. They are in awe. (they can drink some tequila too). I will be leaving soon to go to my hotel in LJ. tell me if you want details about my journey and experience.
If not I will gladly fall asleep with my head phones on cranked up to eleven. yes I do know what I am going to listen to when I go to bed tonight (SG umg remaster). Don't You?
Thanks for the encouragement.

Hey onlystones - congrats on your success! Attending a show like this is the Holy Grail - I'm jealous but happy for you . When you have the time & energy, it would be great if you would share a few details such as:
Which songs were the highlights and which (if any) went a little haywire?
Describe the interaction between band members & specific special moments
What did Mick say to this bunch? Please share the most memorable stage banter
Describe the most memorable Keith moments
What was the enthusiasm level of the crowd?
What were the Stones wearing? (Important stuff!)
Approx. how many guests were in attendance?
Did any fans at the door actually get in?
How did you gain entry? From your post, you seem to insinuate that you managed to work the party. Is that accurate?
I've enjoyed your posts and, like most here, I love details - so please feel free to spill it all! No detail is too small

Not a celebration of Taylor's departure, I presume?

I just hope a local charity in San Diego got a donation from the Stones cause it's not like they need any more money!
Were the cans full of cash?Quote

I think the guests were asked to bring donations of canned goods for the local food bank.

Gotta say it- the people who are upset with the Stones over this sure have some messed up priorities and belief systems. They don't owe anybody squat. They're not beholden to anyone. They can do what they want. And they do.
Don't like it? Show it. Never go to another show, buy another record, listen to another song.
Bands from every musical genre have been doing gigs like this ever since the first offer was made. Nowhere does it say they have to refuse offers like this simply because they're "The Rolling Stones". Wise up.
Strange a "fan" would call for a boycott of the Stones...takes all kinds I guess.

What a great Rolling Stones week.
Small theatre show at Fonda last Wednesday.
Big,Big show at Petco on Sunday.
Very small Birthday Party show at Belly Up Tavern less than 24 hours ago.
Two days off then a big show at Columbus on Saturday night.
Quite a good week for us Rolling Stones fans, even if it's just following it all on a laptop. ><

onlystones, you @#$%& rock.
How old are you?
I love reading about your adventures.
Life's just a cocktail party on the street!
(even though I quit drinking 10 years ago!)
Here's the closest I've ever been to the Belly Up...
BTW, the '74 in the posters above refer to the club itself.
