Keith arriving at the Hotel

So Maxx can you tell what Hotel this is . I know where MJ is staying but can you name the hotel where KR is ?

Maxx please don't reply to this. I should not have asked.

I can tell I am staying at Motel One Edinburgh-Royal!

Landing at around 11 am.

Was a crazy early wake up this morning: 3 AM Finnish time which is 1 AM GMT. Will probably need to crash at some point...

Now stopping over at Stockholm Arlanda. 2 hours to kill before I board the Edinburgh-bound flight.

Feeling pretty good and looking forward to visiting Scotland for the first time!

See ya'll real soon!

Hello,

Outta work by lunchtime and then throwing myself at the mercy of Northern Trains (loved that MJ took the piss at their expense on Tuesday night, hah-hah!)...if all goes ok then it'll be Bannerman's later on.

Safe travels everyone and best of luck if you're LD merchants!

Cheers,

Simon.

On final train from Liverpool now.. (after re-route to bus and other train )

Can’t wait for the show tomorrow! Be down at Bannermans later, hope to meet up with a few.. Should be a good time.

Another wee boost for this, for those who're finding that the Dirty Strangers arent doing it for them

Sadly! I will arrive in Edinburgh late in the evening. :/

Dirty Strangers etc. seems to be a good warm-up for tomorrow.

Hopefully the weather will be like today. It's a belter.

Met Office Saturday update. 15 00 Sunny 16c. After 16 00 Sunny intervals with temperature of 14c at 20 00. Light ENE wind so feels like 12c. Chance of rain recorded at less than 5%. Looks good

Easyjet canceled my flight this morning ..... luckily I found another one for tonight.

where were you flying from ? I am on Easyjet tomorrow 0715 from Bristol. Fingers crossed.

As a born and bred native but living down South, I’m already here, having arrived from Manchester yesterday evening. I’m staying in my hometown of Hamilton, Lanarkshire which has a wee bit of Rolling Stones history, hosting this chaotic show in 1964 (Bill remembers it well!) :

What’s more, I’m writing this from the very spot where it took place. The hotel which hosted this wild show (my mum who was then 21 knew people who went) was burnt down a few years later and is now a Housing Estate and I’m staying there with my cousin. Apparently the then 20 year old Keith, addressing thr audience said, “Oh this is a nice room !)

I went to Edinburgh University 30 years ago and am also a keen Hearts supporter, regularly travelling North for home games at our Tyncastle ground, very close to Murrayfield. In fact we played a few games ourselves there last season while our ground was being reconstructed. I know that part of Edinburgh very well so I’m hugely excited about seeing the Stones on home turf.

For those visiting Edinburgh for the first time, enjoy it. It’s a beautiful city and known as the ‘Athens of the North’.

Hi there.
Just to be shure, LD pick up will be tomorrow starting 9am at Ticket Center at the stadium ?
Thanks.

No song vote for Edinburgh?

Hope to meet up with some people off here.

It’s from 10.30am - in the South East Corner of the Stadium (towards the Tram stop).

Weather is fantastic at the moment. Airport was full of stones shirts
