I read it on Stonesforum.nl, and our friend Michael there took it from Shidoobee:

''The Amsterdam show will be filmed for the official Stones dvd of the tour.

Never know if that is good or bad, but it is what it is...''

So there you have it.

Thats,sort of good news for me(it might be my last show).Hope not.

Great!! I'm gonna be there! Maybe i'll try and run on stage, to make sure im on the dvd... Perhaps not...

So does this mean we'll get a great setlist and an 'over the top' performance, and actually i wont be able to see anything on stage for all the camera's flying about?!!!

They already filmed there during the Licks Tour, so they know about the settings they'll have to use.

The stadium has awful acoustics, but this doesen't matter for a SBD recording.

They could have shot a nicer venue, like the Olypiastadion in Berlin, or the Stade de France, which are IMO the most beautiful venues they play this summer.

Well, I personally think the ArenA is a fantastic looking stadium. As you said, terrible acousics, but that doesn't matter. It looks great.

They were gonna use a 2003 ArenA show for filming but that got cancelled because Mick had voice problems so they did Twickenham.

I'll be in the ArenA too so hopefully it will be great.

let's hope they open with Brown Sugar again!

I wonder if they'll be going for an autopilot show or for some surprises.

Do we really need another Stadium DVD, so soon after 4 Flicks?

That's why I was thinking, maybe it will be something special.

Furthermore, there have been millions of people going to see this tour, and most of them would like to have a DVD as a souvenir, so buisness-wise, the answer is YES.

Wish they wouldn't keep filming me, it's like they are stalking me now !!

Sorry about the stupid question but the place they gonna play in Amsterdam is an Arena or a stadium??Beacuse you keep on repeating the word stadium.

its a stadium with the name amsterdam arena, just google it

I never understand why some people bitch about live releases. Don´t buy them if you don´t need them. I would not mind the Stones to release fifteen DVDs and ten live albums of this tour - as I collect the boots anyway.

By the way: The Who release every show on CD and DVD - you can order the shows online, money goes to charity. So I will get a nice souvenir of the amazing Bonn show.

Amsterdam ArenA sounds cool to me. It's fine stadium I think. And check Rockpassion for the Licks Amsterdam private cam 30 second video. The crowd goes nuts when Mick enters. Very cool.

There is not a worldwide definition saying that "arena" should be smaller than "stadium". In many countries the word "arena" simply means "venue". Amsterdam ArenA is a 50,000 capacity stadium with a roof that can be opelend. Some call such constructions a dome.

The Stones like to record in Amsterdam ArenA because they have a stable sound and visual environment. No external sources like temperature, noise, sun, rain etc.

But "stable" doesn't automatically mean "good", right?

As far as sound goes, NO. But as mentioned before, for recording, that doesn't matter, as it is a soundboard recording.

Great news!!!

OK...is it official that a DVD will be recorded on july 31 show in Amsterdam?

And an other question: does anyone know why there still is tickes-sales-promotion on Dutch TV for this show? I thought it was sold out within 30 minutes?

Thanks!

That's Rotterdam, isn't it?

The AOL Arena is a stadium too.

This definition of Arena comes from the roman culture, when the gladiators were fighting in huge arenas.
Making the arena a generic name fore big indoor venues as opposite to stadiums comes from Northern America I guess.

To be 100% complete, some shots from the A'adm ArenA are on 4 Flicks. Easily recognisable crowd shots.

How boring. I would suggest Circus Krone on DVD!

Hehe, yes. Same audience. Although I wasn't at that show. This is the first Rotterdam show. I was at the second. And third by the way.

There's a Tina Turner DVD that is phenomenol from the Amsterdam Arena in '96. Recommended to any Tina fans.

People at the Beacon Theater say that show is to be filmed as well.

Does this mean the Rio dvd is not going to happen or will we get a multi dsic dvd again for this tour?

Let's hope for a good setlist and surprises.
