It only gets worse, old man!
The '73 tour was my "baptism" too ... Manchester in my case.
I was 13 and it was pretty much the first time I'd been allowed to stray so far from home on my own . One of the most wonderful memories from my youth.
I remember a Spud from my secondary school, a couple of years older than me and as such my baptism was Newcastle 1982 (I wasn't a fan in 1976 but that all changed in 1977). Where was home Spud?
Oh God I hope not! 49 and holding, though the reading glasses were purchased last year and the memory isnt exactly as it used to be.
If Mick can be as compos mentis at 80, there's hope for us all!
TBH, it was too much fun trolling the kid, but I do feel bad now that he’s so old and decrepit!
(And yes…great city, great show!j

That means there are other 'Spuds' out there! And from Northern England.
I enjoy your posts Spud, keep the bollocks coming!!

Hard to believe, I was looking at Setlist.fm and in the last 19 years the Stones have only played Toronto in 2013. I was up there 4 times in 1989 & 1994.
Good ole Wuudy

Hi Kent! I had a look but it seems that Lorenz hasn't been active in 4 years unfortunately.
Cheers,
Wuudy
No he’s not on much these days, but he’s still alive and still with his girlfriend. I spoke to them a few months ago.

Edinburgh was lovely actually, was my first time there. Been to Glasgow quite a bit for gigs, one of my best mates lives there (gigs including Stones 2003 and 2006).
That time in '03, Licks, first time seeing them indoors and in a relatively intimate setting. I was up front, the Stones mere feet away! Was so accustomed to stadiums, '03 (Glasgow and Dublin) was a revelation.

My name is Gearoid (Irish for Gerard), from Limerick City - the barbarian west coast of this fair Isle.
Been a fan of this band for 30 years. Have seen them 14 times; first was Wembley 1995, last was Glasgow 2018. Met Ronnie & Bill, would love to meet Keef!
It began in '93, I had a building fascination with them - a legacy act with a significant catalogue and a bit of wild reputation. Purchased 'Flashpoint', mid 1993. 'Ruby Tuesday' and the warhorses at the end really made an impression.Viewed Hal Ashby's 'Lets Spend the Night Together' toward end of '93 and loved it. Mick looked ridiculous in the sports gear, and Bill's ratty navy tracksuit, but this was the Stones, and the songs were top quality.
Fandom really took off March/April 1994 - bought Sticky Fingers, Beggars, Let it Bleed, one week after another. At the same time as delving into those classics I was reading Victor Bockris' 'Keith Richards'. Before I was online, even finding a proper list of Stones releases or views on their history was tough unless there was an article on them in the music press. The book provided a history, critical views on the catalogue, and lots of wild tales. Hyperbolic in places but a damn fine read and a wonderful education in the band and their history for a neophyte purchasing an album a week as my interest grew.
The 1971-1989 catalogue was reissued that summer, Voodoo came out; they were big business and big news. Perfect time really to investigate the catalogue. By the end of '94 I was all in, and have been ever since.
Joined IORR I think 2002, incredible to think it is 22 years ago. Met so many lovely people from the board at various Stones gigs. I hope to see the band at least once more, hoping for perhaps UK/Euro dates in 2025.

I'll re-introduce myself.
I was active her about 20 years ago, stopped checking in about 15 years ago except for the around the Tours but started to be around more lately.
Good to see old regulars are still around like Jumpingkentflash, Rockman, Mathijs, Dandelionpowderman and many, many more.
Cheers,
Wuudy

I'm from Upper Michigan. 10 shows in my lifetime, beginning in 75 at Milwaukee (still my favorite).
Gotta fight through some health issues to see both Chicago shows this year. Soldier Field is where I saw my last with Charlie still whamming, so that's all-time #2.

I thought I should do this thread to reintroduce myself.
I used to post here a lot, I remember many many regulars. The discussions of Keith's hands, the complaining about the set lists, I actually go way back here although I don't expect anyone to remember me now.
I can't remember, but I think I first became aware of this site by trying to find out info on a Stones show I attended at Veterans' Stadium in Philly. When did bv first start doing the live reports show by show, with photos? Because that feature of the site was still pretty new then. My mind was blown that you could look up any show and see the set list and pictures.
Then as the Stones slowed down, I started posting less but still lurking.
I just saw them in New Orleans a few weeks ago, and am looking around trying to wrangle a way to catch them again.
