The updates and photos are so exciting. Thank you all for the reports from the rehearsal site.

Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.

Yeah, your right. I know the show I went to Oakland only had SOL and I just checked to make sure. I assumed all of the other shows were like that, but Nope. I didnt check every single one But I clicked on five random shows and they all had either ONNYA or RJ. Weird that I was at the only show with only one song from ABB.

Still one more week of rehearsals to go. Lots more songs to be reherased. They are not going to do Tumblinbg Dice only for the rest of the stay...

Bjornulf

Thank you Bjornulf for closing the topic that was so disrespectful of Keith's bodyguard. I would like to set the record straight for those of you who read that topic and tell you that Keith's bodyguard is a personal friend of mine and is nothing but a true gentleman. I spoke to him tonight from Brussels. He not only looks after Keith, but he looks after Keith's fans as well and often goes out of his way to accomodate fans. Please disregard what you read in that previous thread as pure rubbish. Security for the Stones is a tough job and Keith's bodyguard is top notch.

Blue Lena, I liked your photos from Vegas that this bodyguard was able to arrange for you. Well done!

The Stones have the best security people around. Nothing but the top people. I would not call them bodyguards. They take care of the security both for the person they assist as well as the crowd in general. They are able to differentiate between idiots, monkeys, stalkers, psychos and real fans. I have been close up with Mick, Keith, Ronnie and Charlie many many times, behind barriers, places I should not have been, like many other maniac fans, but still each and every security person have taken special care of me and treated me as a fan and not like a stalker. I have been to plenty of shows with local people not being in tune with the fans but the Stones security people have a totally different level. If you have experienced something bad with Stones security people then you must have had a bad day and probably crossed many lines and rules. You would only have yourself to blame. Please do not turn this thread into a discussion about security people. That case is now closed. Thank you.

Time to move on with the Brussels rehearsals, being just great tonight, by the way. Twenty people made it early, the group soon doubled, and despite the arctic cold weather and slight drizzle, most stayed until it was all over. The band rehearsed for more than four hours net, not counting breaks. Keith did around 10 different songs on his own. Love Is Strong, Respectable, Monkey Man All Down The Line, Let It Bleed, Paint It Black, Loving Cup and so on - they will all show up some place on tour this summer, and they sound great! See the IORR Brussels pages for details: [iorr.org]

Bjornulf

back home again from two great days in brussels, i hope someone else can txt msg the songs they play later this week to someone on iorr
some highlights:
- ronnie and keith after the first rehearsals: they went to the fans waiting at the gates and they did give us lots of autographs, got one from ronnie, keith did forget me.. (which is ok.. i'm there for the music in the first place
- shattered (since its a great song )
- Paint It Black
- Loving Cup
- Pretty beat up (without mick.. oh well )
- The ronnie slide at the end of the second night

for those who are staying in brussels: enjoy!!!! and dont wait in front of the building but go to the back! and dont talk during songs lol

Keep On Rolling

I'm going there today. Or do they have a day off?

Eight days to go...tomorrow or on Wednesday, the first trucks should roll into Werchter. I guess our spooks will find out until Friday, which stage will be built-up.

If i ever find the time to take a look at werchter i'll let you know which stage it is, damned exams.

MononoM

Between

Thru and Thru

and

Slipping Away

It was Thief in the night, afterwards they did this song again, twice!

I'm very sure about this!

MononoM, tell Keith to do Coming down again!
if u catch him arriving or leaving tell him tell him !

you lucky SOB!

If its allowed to be negative I hope they skip TITN.
I'm very enthusaistic about almost all the other material.

Love Is Strong & LC would be great to hear!!

I would really love to have Keef singing Little T&A
The other Keef songs have been widely played in Europe during the "recent" post 1990 tours...

Where are the rare songs of the US 2006 Fall tour ???
These are the ones that should be played along with Pretty beat Up IMO

The rehearsals have just begun, so wait and listen

[doctorstonesblog.blogspot.com]

Wanna Hold You would be great for undersigned since I didnt attend 1998,
nor any other tour. Have a great rendition of it from Globen
(or two actually, one on cd, one on VHS). Same with YDHTMI.

I feel he has grown out off T&A; Connection would be perfect.

Three- four songs with Keef, pleef:
WHY/Thru & Thru, YDHTMI, TPIE and Connection/Happy.. ?
