I see no reason to complain about Steve (especially - the dude is doing AWESOME) or Sarah... Ronnie I get... but Mick's jacket and the stage... awful!!!!
Y'all complaining about the performances need to get a head check! Look at that horrific jacket!!! And that horrendous stage!!!

With my LD i ended up in Diamond pit A. I had a very great evening.
The support act was quite ok. Not really my cup of tea but not bad. The Stones themselves were really on fire. They played great with CYHMK and Midnight Rambler as highlights. A lot of Mick Jagger in Dutch (loving it!!) and also the footage of the Kurhaus during the show. They really made it up very well. I went home with a big smile on my face.

You GOT the Diamond Pit or you made your way to Diamond Pit ?
From what I've read here, most folks got 420/430 sections...
Would also be very eager to hear it if you recorded and willing to share, your recordings are always the best.Quote

For those watching at home via there phones and think it sucked, I beg to disagree. Real solid show IMHO.
can't wait to hear your recording if you choose to share
are you doing brussels as well or any others?

First - as was the case 3 weeks ago - there were no signs directing to the Box Office. Lucky Dips are usually at a separate box office, and most staff at the Stadium didn’t know what they even were, let alone where they were. Finally found the place way at the back after walking forever.
I was pretty crushed, after having the first show cancelled and coming all this way back, to open the LD envelope and find tickets in the rafters. I asked the woman at the LD counter if they could be improved in the circumstances, and she said No. so I asked where to find Guest Services - pretty standard at any venue. She said they were near my gate inside the stadium. Waited in line for a hour, got in, and asked for Guest Services, only to be told they have none. We were directed back to the main box office, outside. A guy scanned us out and we found the main box office - backing on the LD box office - closed. Tried the LD office again as we were there - nope. Tried about 3 other offices and counters at various places inside. One woman actually made a call. No Guest Services, no way to change a ticket. This took about 90 minutes or so.
Reluctantly accepting defeat, we trudged back into the stadium and headed for the rafters. Approaching our section entrance, it was kinda adding insult to injury that it was right beside the entrance to Pit B. One guy, staffing both entrances, looked at our wristbands and waved us in. To the Pit. I’m such a damn little rule follower that I was going to argue but sanity prevailed and I blindly obeyed the guy, expecting to be turned back, but at every entry point we were waved forward until we were on the floor, Gold Circle, at the Pit entrance. Knowing that we’d never get past that last hurdle, we hung out in GC. Noticed that Pit B wristbands were the same colour as LD. Still not willing to be sent off to the rafters, as the fellow at the Pit gate was checking everything closely, we wandered over to Pit A. Usually a different colour wristband, was surprised to see them the same. And the staff weren’t looking too closely.
Suffice to say, I was still wildly annoyed at the shambolic administration that had me endlessly trudging around the stadium in futile search for a service they don’t provide and, after enjoying the hell out of the Ghost Hounds, my fragile morals crumbled. I’m very ashamed. What a great damn concert!

Had the same experience in Munich where I have been in the stands. Must have been the loudest Stones show I've ever been too (actually only the second half, the first half was almost too quiet). I actually love it loud but as with everything that is fun there is a certrain point where it just gets too much. Above a certain point of volume you just don't hear anything clearly anymore, it's all just one distored, undefined roar. I have the suspicion that it might be to cover for the fading abilities of the guitar department, but that's just my opinion...Quote

I really enjoyed the show yesterday, wow they played it f*cking loud, my ears are still ringing, don't know if thats normal, its my first Stones show since A Bigger Bang 2007.

There is something terribly wrong with Ronnie. That's my main impression from Amsterdam yesterday. He completely messed up his solo's on TD, CYHMK, and more.
