IORR's played really fast, sounds great!
well the question is, according to you, why he uses two completely different guitars for the same song...I think the acoustic is more suitable for a balladQuote

Hi Hilary,
OK - and what would be your question then?

Speaking about stewards, I saw on a clip one of them nearly... dancing when the band was playing SFTD. The man was moving his head at the pace of the song, like the fans did. And I think he was also singing, for a few moments. Nice to see it!

If you look at this video it's interesting how many people who were not inside before the show started. At the left of the stage, there is constant flux of people coming in during Sympathy. Was this all due to the traffic or did the show start earlier than anticipated?
The show started 8.30 sharp. I'll shall arrive early at the upcoming shows to avoid the risk of being too late for show start! (Especially if thousands must collect their tickets at the venue)

Heart for Stones
Thank you very much for bringing this video.
Great catching og my family and me (my wife, our two grandchildren 12 & 16 years, our daughter and me - the 3 first on their first ever Stones show) as we are guided by a guard from our obstructed seats (sec. LOW304, ROW: VV) to new, better seats on Hogan Stand. We asked kindly if we could stay in Gold S instead - No problem, and as the oldest of us (75 y) agreed that standing for 2 hours was OK we all were happy. Few minutes later we went to SUPER HAPPY as we were given PIT A wristbands and could walk into the PIT :-) Can watch us marching to "heaven" from 5:45 ;-)

I can only speak for myself, but I cannot relate to all the complaining. True, the set list was a little bit of a down point, but, for me, the only one. I guess, most of the normal concert goers are waiting for the old warhorses, and can deal with a little odd song within the set, but would be rather turned off, if they only played rarities.
I enjoyed a great concert in Croke Park, although I draw a nosebleed on my LD (708 Cusack Stand), but I have never so far experienced such friendly steward and police and extraordinary well organized event. Everybody new there job, and where to direct you, no hour long queuing, with 10 minutes I was inside. Going up to the Upper Tier I noticed I would not be able to stay there for vertigo (man, this is high up!!!) So went down and turned to a steward who directed me to customer service, where a friendly lady assured me this problem could be solved and accompanied me to a tent where another friendly lady changed our tickets to Lower 316. A wee bit far away from the stage, but I was happy. When the Stones came on, I realized, that people around me were more interested in getting food an drinks than following the action on the stage. As it was freezing cold out there, just staying in my seat, I decided to take a walk after Ride EM all Down and round people coming and going to the food and drink stands, and none of the stewards giving a damn who went in and out, so i chose to have a look into 308 found people all dancing in the aisles, clapping and singing along, so decided to stay there.
The band played tight and focused, a little glitch here and there, but hey, it is a live show, and opening night. Compared to Munich last year (did not do Hamburg) they were way better, and a huge thumbs up from me for Keith changing his set. Always preferred BTMR to Happy, and The Worst is a real treat, though I could do without Bernard's backing vocals ...

^ Too kind. One small typo you were too polite to mention. I WOULD (not "wouldn't" dissuade budget-minded fans from caving in. The yes/no thing is supposed to be a humorous nod to the big abortion referendum that everyone in Ireland is talking about.

Great pics GeorgV - they put you right there in the thick of it.
The pic of Keith shrouded in light has a spiritual/religious vibe to it...the second coming of....with all the worshippers praising the immortal and divine being...

Thanks, glad you liked them. I didn't think of it like this when I took the photo, but I see what you mean

Yes I know you probably didn't think of it like that, was just adding my own goofy thoughts as a caption. Great pics. Amen.

Just checked out a video of Neighbours. Gotta admit I was almost afraid to, having remembered how ferocious it was in 1981. But wow, I was quite impressed. They really rocked it. Not as frantic as 1981 but still pretty hot and lot of good guitar from Keith and Ronnie. They seem to be in better shape than on the first leg of this tour! Still capable of surprising us a bit!
