Back at the hotel.
Was a great show, a few mistakes but thats ok.

Got lucky Dip No Filter pit 3 Out of 3 times now and heading home soon. The organization for the pit was bad as we all got stuck on ronnies side and then everything got closed.
There were a few upset people.

I like how they play gimme shelter and Miss you on this tour. Brown sogar, Happy and TD are great in up beat tempo. And they stay at 20 Songs.

Great evening!

That's what it looked like on the pic, how did they fill up Keith's side? The section behind (gold?) was completely empty too.

As Tears Go By was exquisite - worth all the trouble of getting to the concert site. Fortunately, the walk back to the shuttle pick up site was a bit shorter, they were letting us exit on the south side of the old town. Coming in, we had to walk to the east gate, walk to the middle of the old town to pick up our Lucky Dips and then to the southwest corner to exit out of the old town and finally east to the concert site on the Lucca Walls. The shuttle drop off pick up area was about a mile from the south walls. It was a lot of walking for someone with a torn up knee.

My traveling companions got lost and never made it to the shuttle pick up area. I took the shuttle back to a restaurant about two miles from our hotel. Our rental car was parked at the restaurant and I did not have the key. The shuttle driver was really sweet to drop me off at my hotel. My companions ended up taking a cab to where the car was parked, about seven miles from the concert site.

Someone asked where I was located. Far Keith side, just in front of the stage, about fifty feet from the end of the stage. Not the greatest for sound, but I did have speakers pointing my way. My knee gave out while one of my friends spent 40 minutes in the merchandise line. I was in agony and then we walked the entire length of the concert field through a crush of people to get to entrance A, which was behind the stage area. By the time I made it in to the concert site, there was no way I was going to stand for any length of time. I had a beach towel along, I placed it next to the fence, sat down and had a great view of the far right iPhone screen.

My mifi signal kept bouncing between two and four bars. I just couldn't get a consistent strong signal in the area where I was and my knee didn't want to search out another spot, nor did I - the field was packed. My little area had people sitting or standing against the fence, an aisle with people moving in and out to concessions and then firemen and police who were watching the concert and between them and the stage, lots of packed together people. I don't enjoy a concert when I'm packed against people.

Hopefully the signal is better in Barcelona.

Looks like Ronnie got a new Gibson Firebird. Never saw him with a black FB.
But probably the pic is just fooling my eyes as the space between the pickups
looks like the well known sunburst.

At first glance, I, too, thought hey, that's a new one here!
But you're right - it's the (beautiful) sunburst firebird

Brian Jones's guitar (Rolling Stones collection). Fantastic!

Are you really sure that this was Brian's guitar.
Ronnie already played a sunburst Firebird whith the Faces. So ...?

I am very happy to hear you got a ride when you needed it, a car with no keys is a bummer, but I am sad to hear about your knee. Sounds like you guys are walking all over Europe on this trip... Time for a nice hot Jacuzzi and/or maybe a professional massage at a spa... treat your self, you deserve it. You don't have to get the whole sha-bang expensive spa massage treatment, maybe just have them do some work on your legs/knee/foots .

I am being totally serious, thinking of offering ideas. I know when I am on trips like that I will not hesitate to get 1-2 spa massages (pro ethical massages, not sexual) and I have even been known to visit to a chiropractor if/when I went too nuts on vacation and threw out my back.

Or maybe try some Dr scholl's gel inserts things for your shoes, if you can find them. They really do some good for sore feets. Or maybe find a heat wrap thing for your knee.

I am wishing you all the best on your tour of Europe!



The second half of the show today your signal worked with no drops, it was kind of clunky, but it didn't drop like it was in the first half. You gave the world the whole second part of this show solid. Thank you very much! You are a hero! I know with 100% confidence if you are there and the scope is not working there is an issue with the local system. You have my respect, you know what you are doing.



I know nothing about how towers or service works for these things, or why the the FB feeds got cut off 100%, out of the blue, about 1/2 way through, then I wonder if maybe that freed up some service... idk

or maybe EVERYONE was broadcasting at the start with not enough service to go around and later when 3/4 of the peoples phones ran out of battery there was less competition during the second half. I dont know... just tossing ideas.

It didn't look good during the first half, very very clunky with all feeds.... we were scope jumping and scrambling for anything...

But I was OK, I was still smiling thinking how lucky we were in Zurich when between you and Selene we had a solid show start to finish and if I could (and did) get that then that is way ahead of the game, one of he lucky guys on the planet and very grateful.

I bet there are some Stones fan out there who will not even hear that scopes and feeds from live shows is possibility and they are missing out.

I am grateful to have learned about scopes/feeds becasue way too often it is only later I find out this kind of cool stuff (DAMN IT!) so for me to know and be able to see/hear them and have someone as awesome as you GlimmerGirl, being so smart and scoping so well, and battery packs for your phones and mifis and all the rest you know and do so well.... done as well as it can be done... I am truly grateful! Thank you! Your time, money, efforts and aches, pains and sore feet/knees are not wasted!

I think I would have been REALLY pissed off if I had bought Prato B. Prato A is way bigger than it was on the ticketone.it layout, and still it wasn't completely filled up

I agree, the prato A area was far from being filled. That was just ridiculous, they could easily have put more prato A tickets on sale or have moved the prato B barrier a little forward.

They fooled all the Prato B people because the layout looked completely different from how it ended up. On the Layout Prato A looks like a small golden circle, similar to the seated area at the German concerts. From the layout I would guess that Prato B is maybe 15 meters distance from the Pit. But I bet all the people who were queueing the whole day for Prato B ended up looking at the screens

What was also interesting to see was all of those people on the street by the line of trees. There was a previous pic here where during the show there were thousands in that area shoulder to shoulder and I would have sworn they were part of the official crowd, but it's since become evident they were all watching the show for free? If so, smart locals and hats off to them, but if you were just on the other side of the fence with a paid ticket you might have felt slightly cheated and/or silly.

Wow, this picture speaks volumes and that seating map could be considered false advertising ...but that huge empty gap between A and B (in the A section) surely must have filled up closer to show time?
