No Erik, don't worry, I#m just one of his biggest fans (wahwahwoody)

Thank you for an awesome review, Kent.

I had a fantastic night, too. When the Stones got on stage, everything seemed to explode. It was nothing less than amazing. I enjoyed the show fully, and I found it much better than the one in Parken, 2003. - I was up at the .. ehm, tribunes(?) back then, and could see a lot, but didn't get any 'close'-contact with them - at all.
I did at this concert.
I was standing right in first line at the B-stage. It was amazing. I even got eye-contact with both Ronnie and Mick! I tell you, it was awesome. The Stones really rocked that night, and Mick ran around all the time - I can't understand he is able to do that in his age. Doing Satisfaction, he ran out on the B-stage once again! He really understands giving the audience a great show, and I really hope I will get to se them again, despite my young age.

Thanks again JJK, now I'm starting to get a bit excited about Boston, hearing how hot many of the recent shows have been...As long as nobody does anything silly during the short break, slipping off a tree or a wagon, we might just get what we need.

Great Review ,,, Nice Job !!

Nice review, Kent...Glad you had great time!

Horsens was the best show I saw this tour. It was awesome. The Midnight Rambler was outstanding, Streets of Love very touching. IT was fun to stand next to the bstage, as every Stonesmember responded to our banners we had brought along. Ronnie gave us two of his picks! That was very sweet, thanks Ronnie!!

As has already been mentioned, this was very well organized. The ambiance in town was superb, very relaxed , everybody was looking forward to the gig.
Horsens published their own newspaper entirely devoted to the Stones, a lot of shops had Stones items in their windows.

I will never forget this evening.
TUSIND TAK, HORSENS!

Nicely done Kent. Now you have me psyched up for the Sept 23rd show here in Eastern Canada.

ooooo, now im even more pumped to see the halifax show on the 23rd!!! man, all the recent shows have apparently been amazing! exciting!!

The reviews all over Danish media are simply fantastic :

nd the latest from Information ( almost whole article - because a normal link would only give you a littel bit - sorry only in Danish ) :


En Rolling Stones koncert er ikke bare en koncert. Det fornemmede man straks, de gik på scenen. De er et fænomen, der samler publikum i måbende ærefrygt. Scenen - det store metalmonster, der havde stået og tronet faretruende i bunden af den enorme plads - var pludselig let som en fjer.

De mindst 20 meter høje sidetårne fungerede som en ekstra storskærm, der for hvert nummer fik nyt tema. Ild og rød-sorte nuancer under 'Sympathy For The Devil' og farverne fra det officielle tourlogo under numre fra den seneste plade A Bigger Bang. Mick Jagger sprang rundt som om han var 20 år, og publikum følte sig på alder med ham.

Provensielt
De var kommet kørende i busser fra hele Danmark. De fleste ankom tidligt på dagen. For at undgå kaos og for at opnå stemning. For der var byfest i Horsens. Partytelte i hele gågaden. Spontan koncert med børn fra den lokale musikskole. Grillos, koncerttilbud i butikkerne og bænke i hele byen.

Men hvad er der egentlig galt i det? Det er som om, koncerterne i Horsens altid får en hårdere medfart med udgangspunkt i en kritik af det provinsielle. Det er noget kjøvenhavneri, som de ville sige i jylland. Det ér i provinsen, selvfølgelig er det provinsielt.

Men hvis man ikke kan blive i godt humør af at lunte rundt i de smalle gader hele eftermiddagen blandt lutter glade mennesker, så er der noget galt. Byen summer af forventningsglæde. En umiddelbar begejstring.

Og inde på pladsen blev den belønnet. Lige meget om man er rutineret koncertgænger, novice eller bare ude af træning, så vil koncerten i Horsens stå som ætset ind i hukommelsen. Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood og ikke mindst Keith Richards og Mick Jagger var veloplagte, livlige og udadvendte og leverede en koncert, der ikke bar præg af et års tourslid.

Surrealistisk
Mick Jagger imponerede det taknemmelige publikum med flere sætninger på dansk, og Keith Richards gav den som forsanger på et par numre. I hans befippede armbevægelser så man skuespilleren Johnny Depp, der har brugt rocklegenden som inspiration til rollen som den forvirrede sørøver Captain Jack Sparrow i filmene Pirates of the Caribean.

I det hele taget var det en mærkelig surrealistisk oplevelse at se Rolling Stones live. Som at mødes med en penneven, man har skrevet med i mange år, men aldrig set.

Det var en personlig begivenhed for samtlige 85.000 mennesker i Horsens. Lyden var fin, udsynet var godt. Eller, det var som man kan forvente, når der er 85.000 mennesker til en koncert. En kæmpe storskærm ovenover scenen gjorde, at det ikke betød noget, at bandet var tændstikmænd i det fjerne. Med deres liveshow nåede de også de bagerste blandt publikum. Næsten bogstaveligt talt. På et tidspunkt bevægede en del af scenen, med de fire gamle drenge på, sig ud over publikum, mens en gigantisk oppusteligt version af den karakteristiske flab bredte sig ud over bagvæggen.

Gode gamle numre som 'Brown Sugar', 'Start Me Up' og 'Paint it Black' var højdepunkter men også 'Rough Justice' og andre indslag fra den nye plade cementerede Rolling Stones' status som verdens største rockband. En plade, der er vendt tilbage til de gamle rockdyder. Det kunne være den passende afslutning på et bagkatalog, der sikkert aldrig bliver gjort efter.

Taknemmelighed
Koncerten i Horsens var hævet over al kritik ikke mindst på grund af Mick Jaggers evne til at møde publikum og publikums vilje til at tage i mod ham. Det andet sidste nummer affødte en nærmest melankolsk stemning. Fællessang med 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'. Og derefter det nummer, der for længst er blevet til mere end en sang. 'Satisfaction'.

Det var slut. Det måtte selvfølgelig komme, selv om man stadig stod og håbede på, at de kom ind igen og spillede netop det nummer, man havde ventet på. Men det gjorde de ikke. Men det var ok.

Den eneste følelse, man havde i kroppen, da man stod i menneskemængden og tog minimale skridt mod udgangen, var taknemmelighed. Taknemmelighed over at være blevet lukket ind i tidslommen i Horsens. Og på en måde virkede det rigtigt, at man skulle sidde i kø, og der gik timer, før man nåede hjem. Skulle man bare hoppe i s-toget, ville det have været for nemt. En Rolling Stones-koncert skal ikke være som alt andet. For det er det ikke.

I especially like the reference to Charlie's nostrils. They were clapping, as usual.

Yeah that'd be great Frank. BTW I don't think that he was one of the Muhammed artists. He's a bloke from Horsens called Julius.

To the guys: You can see that our FOS area wasn't filled out. :-D

Richard From Canada: Yeah. Enjoy. That show is on my birthday.

No, that must have been the nosebleed section.

The FOS area was too expensive, apparently.



Great.

JumpingKentFlash

pleased you had such a great time in your hometown, Kent.
- now all you need to do, is get your ass, over to London, next year, for afew beers and the Wembley show(s)

definately need a boot of this show too since keith was talking to me during the show

Life's just a cocktail party on the street

If they don't play Denmark in 2007, London will be the place I'll try to get into Adrian. My biggest wish is to see them on their own home ground. My other wish, that they play in MY home town, is now fulfilled.

Yep. I forgot to mention this. MononoM had a towel with the text "Stay bruised", and Keef said: "Oh yeah. Say bruised right" down to him.

Hi !

Im one friend of Nordic Stones Vikings. Just wanna say that the gig (for me) was a 3 of 5. Have visit better gigs. But Horsens and the stonescamp and the people was 5 out of 5 :-D Hope the boys get back to scandinavia 2007. Sweden miss them !!!

thanks for the brilliant review, JKF -
you got thoroughly banged and you know it - and that's what it's for. :E

I´m just wondering, Kent, why you played Child of the moon, I wanna be your man and so on?

Why not only warhorses?

Because you always say that love them - all the HITS - I have read. And Stones HAVE to play them!

So why this?

Is it because you LIKE to play these tunes - and the audience like to hear them?

YOU NAUGHTY BOY - playing songs that SPICE THINGS UP a bit! How CAN YOU?
