Thanks I just ordered a couple of T shirts that have been out of stock and I should have bought originally in Amsterdam last September.

Maybe they already release some reserved seats for packages as regulars now.
Keith and Ronnie probably practicing at home.... Mick exercising - voice, running and yoga, Charlie lots of massage for his back problems, hands.Quote

Keith could do with starting rehearsals a bit sooner imho
He looked a bit ring rusty last time out, wonder if he will finally learn how to play the solo on Sympathy again, he needs to go back to basics on that one, its given me more cringes than Scarf Me Up

Regarding Sympathy, I would still like to know why Mick has omitted the Bliztkrieg/Kennedy verse. Self-censorship like this makes no sense.

Well said, syrel. Had not heard artistic reasoning before, but does make sense.Quote

They are different verses and, as far as I know, he always sings the Blitzkrieg verse (I certainly remember it from last year, unless my mind is playing tricks).
I've always found the 'after all it was you and me' line a bit childish (just my opinion, am not interested in a heated debate), so it may be that the Kennedy verse is not sung for artistic reasons rather than political self-censorship; the verse just isn't as sharp as the others.

He hasn't changed the lyrics, he's dropped a verse, which is a much less pro-active thing to do, so I think plausible - there are probably other songs where verses don't get sung as well.
One thing I thought after my initial post is that SFTD is quite a long song on stage, and Mick is always very conscious about the audience losing interest (sometimes misguidedly so in my view), so that could be another part of the rationale ('let's cut a verse... this one is worse, so cut it').
