I am finally home again and managed to upload some pics and videos from the concerts I attended. Part of why I enjoyed the first 3 gigs a lot was that my girlfriend an me were always either very first row or at the catwalk, ten meters from the stage. Being so close to the guys really gave me goosebumps and made the whole show even more enjoyable. There were some moments I will never forget, and thanks to my camera I can share some of them with you. I even made it to the papers in Belgrade, will post a picture of me there as soon as I have it scanned

One thing that contributed was the enthusiasm for the Stones in Belgrade, Bucharest and Budapest. The crowd there was absolutely fantastic, very young and in a very good mood. The heat perhaps made it even more like a real rock n'roll show for me, even if I was trenched in sweat constantly. I'm a bit annoyed that the quality of the pictures is not very good - my small camera is relatively old and I didn't dare smuggling in my DSLR. So, the small camera has no settings to change the ISO - that's why photos easily get blurry if the light conditions are difficult. Still, those pics mean a lot to me as I was simply as close as I was never before.

Mick - moving too fast for my cam

Keith and Ronnie are all smiles



The Answer opening in Belgrade




Rocks Off in Bucharest



-- Check Mick at around 2:09 - I absolutely love how full of energy he is there, look at him! --

Midnight Rambler in Budapest --> best video I made!



-- Mick and Keith playing their asses of 2 meters from me is my personal Stones highlight --

Brown Sugar in Bucharest



-- cool, cause Mick was running down the catwalk next to us - and I only managed to film the security guy next to him...--

More to follow soon!

Awesome! Thank you, Lorenz

Great post. Thanks

Rocks Off still started with second verse; are you sure it's from Beograd, not from Bucharest ? If so, it means Mick did some "editing" on the song

I'm glad...

I can upload it to some website in better quality, if you want - but unfortunately it's still a bit blurry, my cam didn't focus correctly for some reason.

Lorenz, did you get any good pics/vids from Brno? My own pics more or less turned out to be pretty bad.

Newspaper from Belgrade - I'm the tall guy on the left.

Sohoe, I still have to check those - will post some tomorrow if I got any ok ones!
Btw, see the videocam - the guy filmed half the show before someone from the Stones crew saw it...

Thanks.

Crowd looks rockin', in spite of what some have said. Thanks for the pics, Lorenz. Did Bro make it home safely? Should we go looking for him? Is he sober yet?

They absolutely rocked - I didn't post any pics or vids from Brno yet, the crowd there was definitely calmer from my point of view.

Last thing I heard before I left the Brno Touring Party late Monday night, was that the 3 generations of BAboons were going to spend a day here:



I suggest that's where to start a seek.

Seriously, as I got it, Bro and his 2 sons were going to spend a couple of days in Denmark, before heading home to Sweden. He'll be here eventually.
