Ante from Croatia,

I am going to see them in Hyde Park with my girlfriend. This will be her first concert, my 6th. I was in London 10 years ago in 02 arena. Cant wait to come again, will be wearing my IORR shirt :-)

sarahunwin, aka Sarah Butler, aka Sparkly Top! Have been on IORR since about 1997. (Thanks, BV!) Originally from London but have lived just north of San Francisco forever. First saw the Stones at Knebworth in 1976, first show in the US, Candlestick in 1981. Have seen them close to 90 times (one day have to try and figure out the exact number!), including Charlie's last five shows, all in the Pit.

Health issues are unfortunately preventing me seeing numerous shows on the Sixty tour but plan to be on the rail on Keith's side for the second Hyde Park show in my home town......

Long live the Rolling Stones! Long live IORR!

Sparkly Top. when did you move to the San Francisco area?

I thought you still lived in London or somewhere in Europe, for some reason.

Peter from the UK. I see I have been on here for 18 years! I remember first discovering IORR during the Licks tour. First album was GHS - a birthday present for my 15th. I think I was curious and liked the image!
First gigs were 1976 Leicester Granby Halls (was almost crushed next to stage) and later that year Knebworth. Have travelled to see them MSG Rome and Paris.Last time was all the London gigs in 2018. I will be at HP in 2022 both concerts (the cheap tickets)

A long time IORR member...just not as active as I used to be. My name is Matthew, I am from the US, however, have lived overseas for a long time. Yet, I find myself back in the US, specifically, Saginaw MI, to help take care of my aging parents. My first Stones show was in 1981, a dream come true. I have seen them numerous times from Singapore to Shanghai. All great adventures! One of my fondest memories was sitting front row at the second show in Singapore (2004) and meeting Ronnie's son, Mick and Keith's daughters and them handing me one of Keith's pics he tried to drop in my hand during Thru and Thru.... I dropped it and Mick's daughter got it for me and gave me it. Great stuff!

Addendum
I apologize to our distinguished readership
This presentation was clinical, uninspired, a total wreck, and a pain in the ass
Name is Georges ending with an S
First show, Forest National 1973- afternoon show, front row in the crowd, best EVER memory of my life, BETTER THAN SEX. I collected some roses petal and a free shower from Mick’s bucket, had the temptation to live the life of the great unwashed, and later I did an exposé in this French college (Lakanal, Sceaux) on Mick Taylor’s before last show as RS member, showing the dead petals in a plastic cup covered with transparent plastic, and I played Dead Flowers on the cassette, even it was not on the 1973 tour set list. I scored a C for that exposé in broken English.
I stuck around IORR.org, a quarter of century, when I saw it was a time for a change, I shut my big mouth, well because the blitzkrieg raged and some Wokers stank, and you couldn’t start a joke without risking your life membership on this website (Boss is okay though, a good man).

Michael from Germany. My uncle listened to the Stones, when I was 6. That was in 1969. In 1975 I recorded some Stones Tunes with my first cassette recorder.
In 1976 I saw the tour poster and was very sad, that my parents didn't let me go... in 1977 I bought my first records, which were "Relics", by Pink Floyd, "New skin for the old ceremony", by Leonard Cohen and a Stones Boot of the Leeds show from 1971. Followed by "Love You Live" and then growing.
In 1982 I was lucky to see them for the first time. 5 shows in Germany. The Frankfurt shows are still in my "best concerts" memory.
Since then I saw them on every tour. About 25 shows.
I still love their sound and listen to their music.
I'm playing guitar and singing and I love to play and sing Stones Numbers. I'm playing accoustic guitar and prefer ballads, country and stuff like that. My Stones repertoire is:

100 years ago
She smiled sweetly
Complicated
Lady Jane
Out of time
What to do
Sitting on a fence
I am waiting
My obsession
2000th man
In another land
Have mercy
Live with me
Dead flowers
Wild horses
Moonlight mile
I got the blues
Sweet virginia
Sweet black angle
Shine a light
Turd on the run
The spider and the fly
Melody (working on it)
Memory motel
Before they make me run
All about you
Slipping away
Mean disposition
Always suffering
How can i stop

Hard woman
Don't tear me up

Music is part of my life and the Stones are a part of my music universe. Their music brought a lot of joy into my life.

I forgot some to mention some numbers, I play from time to time:

As tears go by
Play with fire
She's a rainbow
Sympathy for the devil
Heartbreaker

Some numbers written by others, which where also played by the boys are:

Around and Around
Have mercy belongs to this part
Good times

How do people just “live in the US”…serious question. How are you able to just move from the UK to the US and live? Always wanted to from Australia.
