Phoebe Bridgers was indeed quite the revelation.. Finished with a flourish too. I know none of the support acts but enjoying my day so far.

I’m in the diamond vip next week, any thoughts, tips etc who went last night?
I’ll take positive’s or negative’s regarding the hotel etc.
Get there early. Gate 17c pit crowd fun. Find your preferred spot and be ready to work to keep it. Bring in sealed water bottles its allowed. Don't leave you spot too long, rail or catwalk and just soak it all in. Crowd was a bit rough where I was but able to hold the ground. Great sound and well done festival. Doing gold circle next time.

Thanks so much.
In a way was hoping to be a more relaxed atmosphere, but no probs with standing my ground, supporting Bham City brings you up.
But to be honest these days I don’t mind taking a back step and having the space to do my stupid dancing.
Was there a goody bag?

What does that mean "early" for you guys? The gate open st 2pm. When the Stones starts? At around 20? 20:30?
Thanks

Such serendipitous discoveries will happen when the Stones give us actual legitimate, working, accomplished acts that have built their own followings and put out music people want to hear. Acts that "dare" to headline their own tours, and draw real, paying crowds on tours they undertake on their own, rather than coattailing on big names. Like, you know, real bands do.
Openers that aren't merely expensive, craftily constructed, but inauthentic vehicles for monumental ego trips for the super-wealthy.
Openers that didn't need to pay-to-play and elbow real working bands out of their way to take over the Rolling Stones' once-prestigious opening act stage.
What a concept.
For the current Rolling Stones organization.

Thank you.Quote
The Worst.
I was standing in the back area of Golden Circle (there is no difference between east and west, just different entrances). Lots of space at the back. If you are a bit early/lucky there's a good chance you can lean onto the fence. And you'll have a great overview of the stage and show, and the sound was superb.

Guys, I have one question regarding Gold Circle East.
I will be attending the July 3rd show with my wife who’s recently undergone some serious chest surgery, therefore I will have to make sure no one bumps into her during the show.
Is the Gold Circle super packed or I can expect her to be comfortable during the show, maybe staying at the very back of the area?

Just got home off the Tube. That was one seriously amazing show, and Mick & Keith both enjoying it immensely. I was already pleased to get Rainbow (though I missed the actual rainbow) and then getting CYHMK completely out of the blue was a lovely surprise (though Charlie and Bobby are much missed in the jam section - but the first part was great).
They switched Gimme Shelter for Sympathy at the end, which I thought worked well.
I was down by the big screen, and the guy doing the signing was great fun to watch - looked like he was having a blast doing it. Thoroughly enjoyable evening, everyone in good form, and it didn't rain.
Edit: looks as though I am now banned by DREAMTIME for not trying to stream a song with the very shaky Hyde Park signal and my fading battery, so this may be my last post...

A thoroughly enjoyable show.
I was in GA & the sound was above-average for a field show with a swirling wind. Big screens were excellent. Presentation for all us poor people in GA could not have been better. Effort, care & technology for ALL attendees was great yesterday.
The band were on top form. No complaints from me.
I Departed during the encore & legged it for the tube( i couldn't afford to get stuck in long queues, as i had a lift waiting for me in Hammersmith to get me home.)
So pleased i made the effort to attend. A combination of a hectic life, train strikes & apathy mean't i wasn't sure i was going to bother.
So disappointed (due to transport strikes) that i couldn't attend the fridy night IORR gig, or saturday pre-drinks. (hopefully) another time.
Anyone with tickets for the rest of the tour is in for a treat. Enjoy.
Was hoping to see you on the Friday night ( odean73 ) Adrian. I was in general admission last night with around 14 family & friends that includes nieces & nephews and some their first time and they loved it. Would have been nice to have met up.
I’m going next week, but as a retirement present, treated me & the Mrs to a vip ticket.

First 11 songs, good quality but this section of the audience seem to suffer from attention deficit disorder [www.youtube.com]

Haha, yes that blonde guy was glasses started spending a lot of time looking towards the back chatting with his friends, how annoying for people behind him...
So I watched this to catch the "hug" after CYHMK and it is indeed Mick who went towards Keith but as was mentioned above it's not the "real" hug from the pics that was at the end of the bows and that was Keith going towards Mick.
I've never heard Mick sounding so hoarse during the band intros, I hope he can rest his voice for the upcoming shows...

Was there at 9. Did a number thing for first 50 and I was 23. By 11 there was a decent crowd. Probably by 11 you could get p
retty close to rail.

By 11 am??? Do you mean we are supose to stand there until 20 when the Stones take over the stage since 11 am at least? That is crazy.
I mean the entrance is open at 1 pm? And the other band's start at around 2pm?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but how could we stand in the Park with no sitting area, limited water and toilets amenities?

sorry to have missed you mate. The rail disruption was a major ball-ache. For me the best times during a tour are the get-togethers, fun, laughter & story swapping.I really missed that on saturday. Have a fantastic time on sunday!

It was a superb show. Got into the Diamond area for 6, had a few beers and still got right up by the rail and had a great time with two lovely American ladies.
