Article from Die Welt with a photo of the site from the nearby tower. A familiar figure can be seen in the foreground, even if we can only see the back of his head...

It's Ulli Schröder from the [StonesFanMuseum.com] in Lüchow, which is not too far from Hamburg -- Google Maps (zoom out).

It looks like the StonesFanMuseum is not open on Sunday, 10-Sept-2017 (but from Monday, 11-Sept-2017):

"Am Montag dem 11. September 2017 nach dem Stoneskonzert in Hamburg ist unser Museum für Sie geöffnet." -- [StonesFanMuseum.com] .

Of course I knew it was him . I met him at the Stade de France on 14OF and he gave me a flyer for his museum. I didn't know Luchow was so close to Hamburg though. Is it easy to reach by public transport? I will be in Hamburg for 3 days.

I travelled by car to Lüchow in Wendland but check the train from Hamburg to Salzwedel and then by bus to Lüchow.

Looks like the kinda cat who has crumpled up tin-foil in the freezer of the Rick Krispies he bought when that commercial hit the radio. Subtle though.

this actually aces everything they've done since '75; lol...

If someone wants to win 2 Tickets for Hamburg then there's a sweepstake by public broadcaster [www.NDR.de] until 4-Sept-2017.

It's a picture-puzzle, 12 characters are searched. (I can't get no) S...........

Sure, very nice guy. I met him with my then little son in Hamburg Cinemaxx at the Premiere of the Shine a Light movie, and had a nice extended chat with him.

by the way: the latest weather forcast for Hamburg is: showers 18°/12°

Well it's not going to be warm anyway! I'll probably wear my fleecy jacket. 13C at night!

I'm STILL trying to get information from the promoters/organisers about Pocket Compact Cameras. I emailed them and also left a message on their Facebook Page. Several others are asking the same question. It would be harsh to ban them when Smartphones have such good cameras nowadays. Everywhere else allows them. We have some pretty good photographers on here, latvianinexile being one of the best and he'll be there for sure. We definitely know professional cameras aren't allowed and we expect that.

You can predict the weather in Hamburg 1 hour before the event.

I know, ´cause I live near Hamburg.

Expect "Schietwetter" and be happy if it turns out better.

I feel a club show coming on. Unfortunately I don't arrive until Thursday night. It will be yesterday's papers by then, except for the lucky souls that were there. Hope this will happen for them. Good karma on the fans!

Tonight, German Radio NDR Info (in German):


Nachtclub Classics
Rolling Stones



Samstag, 02. September 2017, 23:05 bis 00:00 Uhr, NDR Info

Eine Sendung von Heinrich Oehmsen, Henning Cordes und Angela Gobelin


Allein um ihre Bühne aufzubauen, müssen 75 Spezialisten aus den USA anreisen.
Zehn Jahre waren Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts und Ronnie Wood
nicht mehr hier. Am 9. September treten die Rolling Stones vor bis zu 80.000
Fans im Hamburger Stadtpark auf: Tourneeauftakt der wahlweise besten Rockband
der Welt, eines popkulturellen Denkmals oder des blutleeren Wiedergängers der
Gitarrenmusik. Wir finden heraus, was die Rolling Stones im Jahr 2017 noch zu
sagen haben – drei Stimmen der Nachtclub-Redaktion aus drei Generationen.

It was as bad as expected. Three Stones haters in one room.
The "Bittersweet Symphony"-story was badly researched.

Anyway: 6 days to go... ><

Stages are always adjustable. They'll make it fit.

Note that they are saying that only cash is accepted at the venue and there are no ATM's.

Auf dem Gelände ist ausschließlich Barzahlung möglich. Es sind keine EC-Automaten vorhanden, bitte bringen Sie ausreichend Bargeld mit.

The stage is 100% flexible and modular. Please see my comment in the NO FILTER tour thread:

Not good. That's why we made the decision that wouldn't pay big bucks..... to get rained on in a field pit.

It won't be raining in the Hamburg Hard Rock Café and surrounding bars on Saturday and that's where we will be until late afternoon ...all invited to join us.

Don't know if that has been discussed, is there an opening act?

Yes (according to Hamburger Abendblatt), but it will be officially announced next week and it should be a well known one -- [iorr.org] .

Imagine you've paid EUR 1275 for the StartMeUp-VIP-Package (=NoFilter-Pit) and then there's a weather like in Nijmegen (Goffert Park) 2007 ....

video: [www.youtube.com]

As we can see. I think they have a different new stage.

Interesting view from the rear:

You Europeans are a tough lot! That stage looks like a roller coaster ride.

Exactly. I keep the fingers crossed. And then imagine Stones and Foo Fighters playing Miss you.
