...and let's include those who traveled for the postponed/cancelled shows.

For me, it was New Orleans to London for the Wembley Arena show in August of '03, about 4400 miles or 7100 km. I was lucky to be treated to one of the best shows ever. Absolutely worth the trip.

For the record, the shortest trip for me was about a mile and a half from my flat to the Superdome.

Paris - Hong Kong
Paris - Shanghai

I'm not sure which is actually the furthest, but I've gone from Los Angeles to Tokyo in 1998, to London and Cologne in 1999, to Rotterdam and Utrecht in 2003 and to Rio De Janeiro in 2006.

iceland to germany
not all that long i guess.
4 hours flight..

Hong Kong China. Cancelled.
San Jose USA. Cancelled.
Milan Italy. Cancelled.
Bilbao Spain. Cancelled.
Atlantic City USA. Cancelled.
Valladolid Spain. Cancelled.
... and a few more...
... don't worry... be happy...

Bjornulf

I can't stay in the bidding, but:

Dresden - Stockholm (1995)
Dresden - London (1995)

is also a long way to go.

Raleigh NC USA to Utrecht Netherlands

chicago to athens last summer - with some cities in between including warsaw

2000 Light Years From Home

Belfast to Anaheim (via London, which is going the other way)

From Singapore to Shanghai
From Caracas Venzuela to Miami Florida

To hell and back... or from here to eternity.

Or just from New York City to Chicago.

Melbourne to Glasgow...
From the arse to the top...as the crow flies...

10556 miles or 16989 km........



ROCKMAN

How about the shortest distance...

Well... there's seeing them at MSG when I lived in NYC.

Also there's seeing them a few miles away at Giants stadium now that I live in NJ

Closest though would have to be when I watched them shooting the "Waiting On A Friends" video around the corner from my apartment in NYC in 1981. It wasn't a concert though... would that still count?

707.5 Miles twice

Atlantic City , New Jersey

Twice because I drove ther twice becvause of the cancelled show

> 2000 Light Years From Home

That must have been a truly far out show, dude!

Furthest: only 100 miles (Milwaukee to Chicago's Soldier Field)

Shortest: only 8 miles to the Bradley Center (Milwaukee)

Closest I've been to the Mick, Keith & Ronnie: 15 feet (Alpine Valley '89)


IORR............but I like it!

Hmmm in Actual mileage it would either be from the island of Tinian to Miami opr the island of Tinian to London, not sure which. By NWA milage calculater for frequent flyer miles, Miamai wins by s small egde at 8253 miles.

Dallas to Munich : 5310 miles / 8550 km

San Francisco to Istanbul 1998

Mexico City - Madrid and Barcelona Cancelled
Mexico City - Halifax

I'd travel to the ends of the earth.

In fact, I'm planning on taking a trip across the pond for a little European sightseeing and concert-going, since I was so robbed of my second chance to see them at Soldier Field 10/11/06. It'll be a hell of a ride!

mars - show was canceled - or perhaps the whole thing was just a joke. the bars were good, at least.....

Los Angeles to New Zealand,i think 6,500,13,000 round for those two show's. I think Terry takes the cake,for a one time trip anyway. bv for sure,"Through and Through"

The first time i went to see the Stones in USA from France, in 2002.

20 kms by bus,then 500 kms by train, then a Paris New York flight, New York Washington by bus, Washington Hartford by bus, Hartford Montreal by bus, Montreal Detroit by bus, Detroit Cleveland by car, Cleveland Toronto by car, Toronto Paris by flight, then 500 kms train and 20 kms bus again.
It seems that i have my part of responsability in the global warming, i'm sorry for that....

furthest: Rotterdam, 40 min. by train.
