But if you don't want SPOILERS, then don't watch it!

The exhibition has already been well described by others and I'm sure no one wants too many spoilers, so suffice it to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it yesterday. I hadn't known or even thought much about what to expect, but I found it to be very well done and some of it quite fascinating, such as the room on the stage designs, comments made in various videos featuring Don Was and so on.

It wasn't a problem taking photos of the Edith Grove mock-up, which was pretty authentic, even down to the smell already starting to emerge from the kitchen area! But later when I tried to take a photo of a particular costume, I was stopped from doing so. I think it's pot luck, though, meaning you'll only get stopped if someone happens to see you in the act.

So we spent a good four hours there in total. Even so, I will go back at least one, if not more, to look again at some of the items.

I thought they did over 2000 shows? And 66 Albums?

They have indeed played more than 2000 shows.

I was with Beast going round it on opening day, and yes indeed - it held our attention for some fours hours plus. It was really well put together I thought, providing lots of interesting stuff for diehard fans who have been following them for 30/40/50 years, but also providing a really good insight for relative 'newbies' into what they are, how they have evolved over their 54 years of existence to date, what they have contributed in many ways (not only musically, things like stage design/sound engineering/audio-visual etc) ... so kind of something for everyone really. There was certainly no shortage of effort having gone into it, and no shortage of money having been spent on it. I can certainly recommend it anyway.

I suppose it depends on what you count as a show. I'm sticking with Gazza's calculations,
which put the 1000th show in 1967 and the 2000th in 2006 or so if memory serves,
but there could be arguments for a different count if you don't count live-in-the-studio shows,
TV appearances, shows shorter than X minutes, etc. The Department of Historical Accuracy
definitely wants them to explain where they got this 1679 figure from.

The spoilers haven't spoiled it for me.

It's like seeing youtube clips of The Stones and then seeing them live.

Two differant things, but both great.

I'm looking forward to my visit next month and there is nothing like seeing everything they have to offer at Exhibitionism, right up close, I'm sure.
