The Worst.
l some security guy decided to be the big boss of the place .
local security with a lot of Mr. and Mrs. "Important" who are bothering people rather than looking for security.
uncool security guys on the same events.
who wanted to do everything in his power to make sure people did not have fun.
I am glad, they didn´t throw me out...
Real bummer to hear... but I guess it is good we have not heard of this very often at Stones shows over time... I hadn't even thought about it... but these security schmucks certainly have it in their power to mess up shows. It is one of the reason I love a GA floor. Not only to get away from jerky security people but also jerky fans or any trouble... when trouble comes up I move on down the road... but...
What to do when you have front row?
As much as I love front row, been there many times over the years, but starting about 10-15 years ago it seems security morons started taking their rent a cop job too seriously. When I was a kid an lived on the front row over and over the security guys were cooler... and as long as we didn't fight they didn't care what we did... then it changed and we started seeing these security jerks jumping the barricade barreling over row to grab someones camera from the 5th row, or running out to grab someone smoking a doobie... or something equal non event.... and then goon comes prancing back up like he is some kind of hero.
It has made me not even want front row anymore. I have had one too many concerts be kind of a bummer as I standing front row and right in front of me, 3 feet away, is some goofball rent a cop, staring right at me ALL NIGHT!!! I am not doing anything wrong... but all show there he is, standing there, looking all tough guy... it is joke... a bad joke.
Gimme GA all year... I like room to move... room to roam away from trouble.

I don't think they're allowed to face the stage, and they have to look somewhere, so all through Hyde Park I had a (female) security person facing me with the sourest expression imaginable, which makes you feel rather selfconscious about dancing/singing even if they don't do anything else ( which she didn't). But Mr Important sounds like a proper little dictator.

to hear about Miss Sourpuss GL...
Yeah they are required to watch the crowd, not watch the show... even back in the day they faced the crowd... but they were different.... they didn't have that TSA/MALLCOP/TOUGHGUY/ENFORCER attititude, they used to be be easy going separators of the stage and crowd. They understood we were at a show to have fun, dance a lil, party a lil, hvae a good time... they "got it" and they were a non-issue, I actually liked them because they kicked out the idiots who wanted to fight while leaving good people to their own devices.
Then in the mid-90s it all changed and they became MR/MISS BOSSYPANTS! and that is the way things are... it is what it is. They are going be jerks and I want to stay as far away from them as possible... and I no longer strive to be on the front row (another fun thing in life that went away, like so many other things)

I do not want to blow up the whole thing, but it´s an important issue, as those people can ruin a show for you - and they don´t know what they are destroying for you personally.
I know for sure there were times when Stones security staff did watch all these stupid local security behaviour and intermitted, but I didn´t see any of them lately.
For example: when seating front of stage was invented and people were cheering in front a little bit aside of their seats and Mick was just coming along and he liked the cheering fans - I recognized it personally that the Stones security guy jumped over to these stupid local security guys who tried to stop the cheering atmosphere and "knocked them out".Afterwards they had a problem - not the fans. Nowadays it seems the other way around.
And yes, people who really disturb are a "no go" - but that´s not what we are talking about.

If anyone has footage of heavy handed security like i do is there a place we should send it ?. Unbelievable how out of order Twickenham security were on 4 people just singing and dancing along with the show near me.
Yes i understand some drunks can ruin the show for people but in this particular instance they were doing no wrong, just adding to the atmosphere.
I just hope that the Stones management and organizers have a word with security if there are future shows after this tour, perhaps suggest being more understanding of the excitement and maybe join in with the happy vibe as apposed to acting so intimidating and imposing and sometimes downright out of order with the fans.

Well, I just have to tell you my story...
I was PIT B. When the show started, I couldn´t see Charlie
behind his big cymbal, so I decided to move backwards and
closer to the catwalk.
Believe it or not: During the last third of JJF Mick took off
his shirt he was already wearing during Miss You, Midnight Rambler
and Start Me Up. He came along the catwalk and threw it...into
my direction. And once again: The longest arm wins! I took
it down, people were yelling, two wanted to touch it and
one wanted to smell!
Lucky me...and believe me, if this was my last show ever, it´s
a nice present!
Facts: It´s a Calvin Klein shirt, size S!!!!
And this man doesn´t sweat. Only the armpits were slightly moist.
Now I´m trying to store it behind glass, but there´s no space on my
wall anymore. Problems, problems...

I always thought it was a reguar tour T-Shirt (since he wears a different one each show and they look just like the ones they sell at the merchandise)

Cool!! Especially on this show I was wondering who got it and how great this must be. I would never wash it and wear it all the time....Interesting it´s size S...

Yeah, as superfat and as tall as Jagger is, I expected at least size XXL.

Yeah, funny...
Anyway, I´m glad it´s S, it was hard, but I found a frame for that size
on a flea market (for 5€). He wanted 10, but I said he could keep
the "rare" New Model Army poster, I just wanted the frame.
And now it´s ready for display:
