I read a few pages back that some folks were fighting over that T shirt.
Don't worry Koen, my daughter was initially competing with six men (!). I started to help her en soon four decided to quit. Then during two songs (really!), it was father and son against daughter and son. My daughter came out as the winner, but today I sent the loosing son some quite interesting Stones memorabilia (not the T-shirt though ) to compensate somewhat for the disappointment.
All is well, the T-shirt is in no way smelly (Mick had a black one underneath) and surprising in good shape considering the original seven pulling people
My, honest, first thought was, when I saw Mick throwing the shirt, "Mick, what are you doing?" (I saw some terrible scenes a few decades ago), but here you are, now its a great Arnhem memory within the family.
Sorry, I think this is a bit sad. Competing during 2 songs??? For a shirt? Man, you must be desperate.

Desperate? No way! My daughter actually powerfully danced on the songs looking at the stage holding on to the shirt and the energetic dancing even helped her toward the eventual "victory". Since I was also facing the stage I could witness the confusion among the band members. Maybe they were distracted by my daughter's strange dancing (joke).

Well, you did see it well! As a matter of fact after the concert I promissed the son, that I would send him some interesting Stones related stuff if he would forward his address. Yesterday his dad (also in the competition) sent me the address and this morning I did send a package to Germany as some consolation for the disappointment.
Maybe you can place one or two images on IORR. We're fine with it.

That is a very friendly gesture. Enjoy the shirt!!
I saw the Amsterdam concert, and I and those close to me were all impressed by Ronnie. This does not mean that Ronnie makes no mistakes but was very present and above all did not pretend to play.Quote

Just to put the record straight, when Keith starts songs like SMU and JJF with a loud opening chord and then a pause, and then he starts the intro properly, IT IS NOT A MISTAKE. He is doing it on purpose. I love it , it brings the crowd on and its exciting. All this BS that Keith was starting Brown Sugar instead of SMU is rubbish.
Sure he messed up BS and that could so easily have been a restart, but come on one mistake all night, big deal.
Watching Keith and the rest of them enjoy their music puts shivers down my spine, just as Keith's first solo on SFTD and second solo on Slipping Away was also spine chillingly good.
I could put the first 20 seconds of SMU in a loop and listen to it for hours lol.
Power chords and so loud , genius. And people call this a mistake.

Only thing that worries me a bit is that Ronnie doesn't seem so well as when he started this tour. Looks a bit tired, less energetic and his playing is not so strong.
Mistakes can indeed be real fun! I remember a recording of a concert in the USA in 1972 with the start of Midnight Rambler. Keith's mind was in higher spirits and apparently he fell of the stage. Mick (blues harp) and Charlie had started the song and were waiting for Keith to start his part. No Keith. And then suddenly, yes Keith started, but only for a short moment which was then followed again by silence, while Mick and Charlie bravely continued. That silence was Keith falling, struggling to get back on, wondering what happened and then, yes he finally getting into his groove. No video, just imagination. It made me laugh my balls off.
By th way Lox, great pics, I must have been almost behind you ... and my daughter was the lucky one to get Mick's T-Shirt after some, peaceful but solid wrestling

Oh man where did Keith find those notes from 6.05 to 6.10, that was sent from another dimension. Its just raw emotion.
I don't care what any one says about Keith, that second solo on Slipping Away was utopia for me, beyond anything presented in the entire tour.

Top notch stuff. Compare the Slipping Away Keith is doing now to the one he did earlier, for instance in Dubai These versions are excellent, and I'm sure it'll be really heartfelt and strong in Paris as well, Riffie!

Fantastic pictures BV, these have to be some of the best i have ever seen of the Stones together, on this tour particularly.
Much appreciated.
Do you mind me asking what camera you use.

May be Mick would throw more often a shirt into the crowd, if there wouldn´t be such ridiculous competitions or fights to get it (missing two songs in the meantime) - but indeed, a nice gesture of you....

Arnhem Merch:
"In honor of their show date in Arnhem on October 15, 2017, the series is inspired by the math of graphic arts, explored around the 1960s in Netherlands. The movement focused on drawing elements from nature, and architecture, while creating anti-symmetry. The artists involved with this movement inspired a special way of thinking and have had a continuous influence in mathematics and art, as well as in popular culture."

that is a complicated way to avoid mentioning.C. Escher, who lived for a brief time in Arnhem.

Hello Shattered1978,
Maybe you know already, but just in case. Mick, a big admirer of him, once in 1989, approached Escher for a design for the Steel Wheels album. However, Escher declined sadly. History goes a long, long way
