I've seen a few people hiding in the woods, near the toilets (halfway up the stairs on 'Ronnie's side'. They were behind a fence, but could enjoy the concert anyway. There was a guy who climbed the fence and got in easy. I would not be surprised more people have done this.
What a fantastic location this is. It's big, but seems very small and cosy. This makes me think how ugly, boring and bleak those big stadiums are. I mean, I went to Stockholm and it was a great concert, but nothing compared to the Waldbühne. Truly a show to remember for not only the reason 'last of the tour'.

Dear Bjornulf,
I see no reason why we should respect a privacy that the Stones themselves obviously do not ask for when they help to promote the hotels.

Great show yesterday, band was playing well and loved the surprises (which I didn't expect anymore). My first time seeing them at the Waldbühne - can't think of a better outdoor venue to see them in. Though I must say the queues to enter were bizarre, I haven't encountered that type of disorganization in years.
Had so much fun this tour. Let's see what's next for the guys!

Note: very shaky some of the vids.. My compadres next to me jumping up and down, me jumping up and down etc - but you will probably enjoy parts of it particularly my fun fun fun gal pals creating some great fun
We are all on the rail.. much narrower stage and shorter catwalk meant way less rail space - we lined up very early, had a very hot and sweaty day waiting often in direct blistering sun and show was very very hot.. WORTH IT

Hope they do bust out Brown Sugar for this.
Paranoid part of me worries it would potentially signal the last show though.
The Glimmers both said they hoped to bring it back someday..
Mick- " 'We'll take that one out for now and see how it goes.' We might put it back in."
Keith: “I don’t want to get into conflict with all of this s**t ... but I’m hoping that we’ll be able to resurrect the babe in her glory somewhere along the track.”

Dear Bjornulf,
I owe you an explanation for me mentioning the hotel Adlon where the Rolling Stones were staying when in Berlin.
Generally you are completely right that the hotels where they stay are kept secret here on this board. If they do not want to be known where they stay it is right not to mention it and to respect their privacy. I really do appreciate your sense of respect, and it was not my intention to violate it.
But during this tour, at Vienna and Berlin it was officially announced at their arrival in the respective city in the media like TV, newspapers and on the Internet that they would stay at the Hotel Imperial in Vienna and at the Hotel Adlon in Berlin. Both of these hotels are basically the best hotels in town with many important guests, and they sure know how to handle security issues, not unless because they have lots of VIPs as guests. The Hotel Imperial is the official Hotel of the republic of Austria where international political leaders are accommodated during state visits. There were news reports in the Austrian TV about the Stones leaving the Hotel Imperial before the concert where the name of the hotel was mentioned, and if you know Vienna just a little you could see at first glance which hotel they left. I cannot imagine such widespread reports mentioning the hotel if the Stones had wanted to keep it a secret. Somehow it appeared to me that they helped promoting these luxury hotels, and this is why I wrote an ironic message about the picture of Mick Jagger and his son Lucas pictured at a window of the Hotel Adlon in Berlin.
In Berlin you could read in the newspapers (and again on many Internet sites) that Mick Jagger was living in the Presidential suite of the Hotel Adlon which costs about 15,000 Euros a night according to the official website of the hotel. You could also read that fans would not see them arriving at the hotel because they were driven by car directly into the garage. At Vienna, I once had the opportunity to see the suite at the Hotel Imperial where guests of his status are accommodated. It is of course very impressive because both of the hotels are very old and famous ones, the Hotel Imperial having been opened in 1873 by the Emperor Franz Joseph himself. You can easily find the prices of the suites on the Internet.
I see no reason why we should respect a privacy that the Stones themselves obviously do not ask for when they help to promote the hotels. In these two cases, they changed their PR strategy, and this is where my message was aimed at. I would never have mentioned the name of another hotel even if I had known it (but believe me, I am not interested in these things).

So the show was definately recorded for DVD purpose? Did not see any extra video yesterday unfortunately. Will we see it for X-mas?
I guess it depends on what you like to see. If you care about the stage then obviously you are right. Personally I don't (and you're right, on this tour it was nothing to write home about anyway) and prefer something more intimate and unique.Quote

Well, the venue is great, but usually it sucks, because they only bring half their equipment, like when I saw them there in 2014. Didn't see a proper 14 on fire show then with the full stage. So if you only attend 1 show, Waldbühne is not the place to go. But for this tour, it's perfect, as the full stage is ugly anyway.

Plus, the sound was really good too! Hope someone got a good recording of it!

Powerage78 do you consider ACDC a nostalgic act now also?
Ac/Dc have actually had three albums of new original material since the last Stones album of same. Hardly nostalgic compared to The Stones.

And how many albums have they released? ;)

Thanks for the clarification, some Stones fans have a short memory and find all the faults in other bands, laughable.

Coincidentally--to me, anyway--just yesterday, I was looking into the most "Exile" songs stacked into a single set in recent tours (of the 5-6 still in rotation). There were these same four in Detroit in 2015. Damn near an "Exile on Main Street" 50th anniversary feature!
Reminds me, I was recently doodling with the 15 song setlist we got in 1972 (saw 'em in Norfolk) and counted six Exile songs. Do you know if there were ever that many again? My guess is unfortunately "no."
Hey there! I am admittedly overly focused on setlists, so I did manage to piss away a good hour or so looking into which songs they played awhile back. Here's the last time they played songs from Exile--there are a few surprises, and some never heard live (updated today):
1. Rocks Off (2022)
2. Rip This Joint (2003)
3. Shake Your Hips (Never)
4. Casino Boogie (Never)
5. Tumbling Dice (2022)
6. Sweet Virginia (2022)
7. Torn and Frayed (2002)
8. Sweet Black Angel (1972 once)
9. Loving Cup (2014)
10. Happy (2022)
11. Turd on the Run (Never)
12. Ventilator Blues (1972 once)
13. I Just Want To See His Face (Never)
14. Let It Loose (Never)
15. Stop Breaking Down (Never)
16. All Down the Line (2022)
17. Shine A Light (2017)
18. Soul Survivor (Never)
Seven Exile songs were played live when they played Sweet Black Angel for the only time. My uncle was there. Here’s the setlist…

Appreciate the time to make this list for us! Just 1 correction: Stop Breaking Down was played in 1995 with Robert Cray.
Would be curious which albums have the highest percentage of songs played live off them and which have the lowest...something to spend time on in the off season before the next tour
Highest:
Hot Rocks!
Nah, probably Exile or LIB
Lowest
TSMR, a wild guess
All of Some Girls has been played.
And Beggars Banquet — all except Dear Doctor and Jigsaw Puzzle.
Not true.

Right, thanks. I missed "Stop Breaking Down" in Miami 1994. I've corrected it where I can.
As far as the other question--highest percentage and lowest: they played all of Sticky Fingers in 2015 and they still pull pretty heavily from LIB. You're probably right about Satanic Majesty's (though they jokingly threatened to play it ALL in LA). I'd also speculate lowest would be Dirty Work, maybe Undercover.
