I finally got my FOS tickets for the show in Copenhagen on my birthday. It will be my fourth and last show this tour. What a great present for my ABB final curtain!!
Who else had the chance to see them on his birthday? And did it feel different than other shows?
Never looked forward for my birthday since a long time;-)
I am also gonna see the stones on my birthday. I hit 30 on 23rd August, so I will be celebrating at the O2 show. Possibly the last show of the tour. Wild...
It's been a long time coming. They were scheduled to play Twickenham on 23rd August 2003, but it got postponed until September. I was totally gutted. Ended up getting literally carried home after drowning my sorrows a little too much...
"Who else had the chance to see them on his birthday?"
Not me. They did just 5 gigs on my birthday, February 16, in their entire career. The three first concerts, when i was ...almost baby (1963, 1964, 1965). Also, Tokyo 1990 and Buenos Aires 1995. I wish i was in Buenos Aires...
In 2003 on the january 16th i woke up in Paris and my wife wished me an happy birthday (47). Took the plane from Paris to NYC and landed around 4.pm local time but already 10 pm for me. I left the Pensylvannia hotel around 8 pm to cross the street and enter the MSG. The show began quite late and was particulary long, so when the Stones left the stage it was around 12 pm in NY but already 6am on the 17th for me. I was up for 24 hours and my longest birthday of my life had finished.
Two of the Stones concerts I've seen were not exactly on my birthday but close - in Toronto (where I live) in 2005 (3 days before my birthday) and in Wichita, Kansas in 2006 (one day after). Both times the tickets were a birthday present. No better way to celebrate one's birthday.
I'll be there, too. Saw the Stones on my birthday in Leipzig in 1998. One of those rain shows of that Euro tour, but to me it was the same feeling as always. Every Stones show is like a birthday for me -or Christmas...or both!
