I arrived into Nijmegen Central at noon and checked out a map outside the station. Though it looked ok to walk to the hotel next to the venue but 2 1/2 hours later I felt almost like I did after walking "home" from Werchter earlier this week. My minibar is now soon empty (mostly water of course) and I will try to check out the venue. It is +42 in the shade on the sunny side. Probably more than 30 in the real shade. Just as hot as back home in Norway now.

Reports from the venue and show coming here soon!

In fact the reports are here:
[iorr.org]

But please read on through this thread as well. many many posts to come.

BV is "på tur" as they say in Norway

Vilhelm
Nordic Stones Vikings

Unfortunately I couldn't go myself to the show.

My daughter stands 1st row Ron: because of the heat it was allowed to carry bottles with water, there are people refilling the water bottles and there are people with water buckets and great spoons to cool and refresh the audience.

I wish I would stand 1st row. I'm glad for her.

Gratis water bij Stonesconcert

NIJMEGEN - Bezoekers van het concert van de Rolling Stones in Nijmegen kunnen gratis water krijgen op het concertterrein.

Ook zal de organisatie concertgangers regelmatig waarschuwen dat ze extra moeten drinken. Vanwege de benauwde warmte zijn vrijdagochtend extra watertappunten aangelegd op het festivalterrein in het Goffertpark.

De medische posten op het terrein zijn extra alert op verschijnselen die kunnen wijzen op vochttekort of waterstuwing.

Important! The major German TV station Westdeuthcher Rundfunk - WDR is here with three cars and a sattelite setup. Check out their TV broadcast and web site www.wdr.de !!!

94 in the shade in Manassas, VA...supposed to be 100F today! Y'all be careful in the heat.

JR

Dont drink beer in the sunshine.
Thats beggin' for trouble.

I hope something special, couse they played a lot in Holland.

I hope they do Ventilator Blues, as they rehearsed it....Furthermore I think they will do Midnight Rambler as they know especially dutch people like it...

SILVERTRAIN & SHE WAS HOT YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

It´s Only Rock´n Roll

I hope Can't You Hear Me Knocking will be played in Europe again and again!

I really miss Chuck Berry songs.

-Come On
-Route'66
-Little Queenie
-Around And Around
-Down The Roasd Apice etc.

I don't think they'll do Ventilator Blues. I believe it's in "According To The Rolling Stones" where Charlies says they rehearse before every tour but they never get it down to their liking. Always room for hope though...

Wish I was going tonight....can't beat it!

Oily.

I bet for : Sweet Virginia instead WOAF and She was hot

I think it will be totally different except for the war horse part towards the end.....

No hope for Ventilator Blues in a stadium (maybe in London?). But I have to say the only live version of VB was not that mistaken (Vancouver 72 where they played much from Exile).

I hope the setlistnazis will leave this thread
