Yes I know about Rod. I saw him twice, years ago. His Scottish connections are a tad on the tenuous side, his Leith born dad having moved South with Rod’s paternal grandparents over 100 years ago, so his family more likely to have been Hibbies. The Celtic thing arrived in the 70s when he met my fellow Hamiltonian, one Jock Stein, (former work colleague down the Pit with my grandpa in Blantyre!).
I’m lucky dipping today again as I have done the whole U.K. tour to date. If I score GC then you wom’t Be hard to spot in that gear and I will say hello

Good man yerself. Anyone with a Jock Stein connection is fine by me.
In the summer, I'm a tour guide in a mininbus driving all over Scotland with tourists from all over. I usually play a Rod song, give a bit of his back-story, and have a competition to see who can name the singer with the tenuous Scottish connection. An American guy got it once before I'd even played a note of music. He then confessed he had a slight advantage over everyone else.......He was the guitarist in Rod's band!! Emerson Swinford. A very nice guy who has promised me 2 VIP tickets next time they tour in Scotland. He'd never been to a Stones gig before but had sat in on rehearsals, as a guest of Ronnie.
Of course, I played as much Rod as I could on the way back to Edinburgh. Plus Around & Around and Down the Road Apiece to showcase Ian Stewart's piano skills.
Congrats!!
I also spent time buttering up the ticket holder In Manchester.. seemed to help!
Have a blast!
[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

Yep and Statting to fill up in the bars outside the venue!
Anyway: BIG FUN everybody.
Talk about your favorite band.

Gregorz67 - tis a pity you're a Hearts fan. I thought with 67 in your name, you may be a Celtic fan. As you know, 1967 is a very important year in Celtic's history. First British team to win the European Cup, or Champions League as it's now known, for the non fitba folks. Rod Stewart is a big fan.
Say Hello if you see me in Golden Circle, wearing kilt. Steel Wheels tongue on back of leather jacket. Slainte! Gold rings on you all. Gonna be a great day!

Pretty sure the people know which enveloppes are lucky. Mine has a sign and after a fantastic joke about the weather from me (ahum) they laughed and one of the 2 lovely ladies give me an envelope and smiled sweetly and said maybe you are lucky with a wink.
So it wont hurt to try something
Good luck fellow fans. We all are very lucky with this fantastic band

Just about to board on my flight from Dublin. A surprising amount of Stones fans in the queue. Thought we’d be the only ones.
Great news on people scoring pits with their LDs. Hoping for some of the same luck when picking mine!

I have pulled a fairly decent lower seat (block E7) with my LD, but I don't need it as I later bought a pit ticket. Email me if anyone wants it for face (£35). It's a single ticket, not a pair.

is the Edinburgh poster a hint to Robert Louis Stevenson masterpiece on the duality of man, Dr Jekill and Mr Hyde?
