Never seen a crowd react so unenthousiastic to the stones

Where did you sit/stand at the show? The crowd was absolutely wild in Berlin...

At home watching the periscope.

Happy to hear it was just local ! An enthoussiastic crowd is one of the things wich can make a good show great

You can't judge a show from a transmission. If the recording is good i.e. close to the PA then that is all you will hear.

Where I was there were people dancing and hands up at all times, from show start until finish, girls on the guys shoulders, even up in the seated areas I could see the same. Most of the time there were so many hands in the air I could not use any pictures.

Lots of young fans with plenty of energy, and the older parents and grand parents spending all their energy for the week on the show as it seems!

What a night...
Lucky Dip Ronnie Pit. I screamed out so loud, probably woke up someone in another city.
Was only missing 'WOAF' when Mick started to talk about Berlin airport again.

Too many drunks, AND kids in the pit.
When you are smoking x joints next to a couple with a kid. Hmm.
People fainted long before the boys started. One was ugly with heart starter back there.

Will love that day without beer sale, and no toilets. A pain...
Don't think I got any great photos, leave that to those you will see on the report page her. And I bet Dean will write more about the set list.
Not thaaat many mistakes, some as usual. And Ronnie is a hero these days!
And freck it was loud. Mick starts to get me nervous, hope they don't have to cancel anything the last weeks. Was a cold night, and we got 1 min with rain?!

Did the same as in Twickenham. Moved up at the end of Satisfaction. Walked fast, in a taxi and at the hotel in 10 min.

Fhank you Boys!

Thank you TE for hooking me up with a Lucky Dip! Everyone in line with us at the box office around 6:15 pm got Pit A. The pit was packed and fun. And a great show and a great crowd! Also one of the better SFTD I’ve seen.

A pleasure. Pity I didn't catch you "inside". I just needed a rail, and was close to the 'B-stage' Was a ball. And still can't get Rainbow out of my head, LOL.

Well, was my 40th show I think, or 43rd. Gotta update my list, think I got 110 songs now, LOL. Time to update the list...

I traveled from TOKYO to attend TWICKENHAM and BERLIN.

Although I had visited Berlin once before over a decade ago I had never seen a concert there, and was particularly excited to learn this would be held at the historic Olympic Stadion.

As luck would have it I was in the vicinity of the Kapinski Hotel around 2 pm, during which time I saw Charlie looking out towards the Brandenburg Tor from his top floor suite. I waved to him but he did not see me, and then he closed the window. I think the fans congregating at the main entrance were getting to be a bit boisterous at times.

I intended to get to the venue around 5 pm as I didn't have a ticket, but other issues delayed my arrival until 8 pm. I saw only two people selling tickets outside the venue. The first was a nice guy with about a half dozen full color with hologram Innenraum tickets at 497 euros face value asking 350 euros each. The other guy had one ticket only, plain with hologram. Unsure exactly where it was or how much he was asking as he spoke no English. As I continued to mill around near the gates the guy with Innenraum tickets approached me and gave his sales pitch. I explained to him I had seen them the other night in Tickenham so I intended to spend no more than 150 euros for a Berlin ticket, which was true. It was about ten after 8 pm at this point, and so he dropped his price from 350 euros to 300...then soon after to 240. I counter offered with 200, to which he replied 225. I had 225 euros but he couldn't make change, so he accepted 220. I felt I got a good deal, and I must say he was the nicest ticket scalper I ever met, offering and fulfilling his promise to wait at the gate until my after my ticket was successfully scanned in as legit. I gave him a thumbs up and a wave and moved towards the official merchandise tent.

Security conducted bag and body checks, and as in Twickenham plainly saw I had a camera and an HD camcorder yet said nothing. Quite a contrast to their 2003 European tour when they were confiscating point and shoot cameras.

It was nearly 8:20 pm when I purchased my official merchandise. The Berlin t-shirt design is exceptional, but unfortunately the largest size they had left was medium. I did get the Berlin lithograph, which is the same graphics. It is #134 of 200.

As for the performance itself, it seemed to me that Keith nailed it all night and Ronnie was just out of this world. Charlie was a rock, and Mick was the ultimate show man yet again. Easily 4 out of 5 stars, probably closer to 4.5 stars. You Tube clips are great but they don't do this band justice, believe me. We will never see a rock band of this stature ever again, and I left that venue convinced these guys can go rocking on forever.

No offence but after watching some of the youtube footage i can't believe how underwhelmed the audience appeared.

Maybe it felt different if you were there as BV said. Maybe it was filmed in an area of the stadium that was a bit lack luster.

I've got to admire the professionalism of the Stones, they bring their A game regardless of the audience.

If you are referring to the ONLY full time steady scope we’ve had all tour,
Berlin by Debbie,
Please be aware it seems to have been a favor and exception to film from a private small VIP section of Pit A.
I said ‘thanks’ about 5-6 times now. Replaying for Mick’s banter/ motivation for paperwork
And,
Pit B is for the freaks.

Maybe it has something to do with the bad weather conditions that day - the temperature was suddenly fallen to nearly the half and the weather changed from midsummer to fall ....
