greetings from sunny Curacao where I live right now. I hope they will play Mambo Beach next year.

It's interesting to see how differently some people rate the same shows. I know, it depends on so many things (weather, personal mood, seat, sound, crowd) but how can anyone who went to the Copenhagen show rate it as 6 (!!) ??? It was definitely one of the best shows in 2007 and most people here agree on that according to the ratings. Another thing I don't understand is the high rating for the Cologne show last year and some low ratings for the Amsterdam show which not brilliant but still so much better than Cologne. The worst of all the 14 shows I saw in 2006/07 was Frankfurt (terrible sound, ridiculous security at the rail and - here we go again - Keith's physical condition which I was really shocked of and, probably as a result of this, most of his playing that night. It was definitely an off-night for him and the band.

MSG 1 - 8
MSG 2 - 8.5

Twicks 1 - 8
Cardiff - 7 (venue has crap sound but the show was quite energised)

Oakland - 9.5

2007

Barcelona - 8
O2 (2) - 9 (+ I sat next to Gazza)
02 (3) - 8

All personal opinions I know, but Ronnie's playing and a cracking B-stage set (Under My Thumb, Just My Imagination) at the Oakland show really did it for me.

Twickenham #1
Twickenham #2
Glasgow - windy
Sheffield - rainy
Slane Castle - muddy
02 Arena #3 - neither rainy nor muddy

2006

Shanghai: 10! I had the luck to be there ... unforgettable

Milano: 7/8

2007

Roma: 8/9

all pretty much the same. All good but predictable

LOL --- you seem confused about the "out of ten" scale . . .

Wish I did it that way as well...

Wash DC - 7.5 (Back of My Hand was the hihglight)

Charlottesville - 9 (Opening was good, Sweet Virginia and ADTL was awesome, bomb scare sucked and then the boys came out and amazed and killed in the driving rain...my favorite show since 81 up to that point)

Vegas 05 - 8 (a very strong show but my expectations were very high and the sound/view wasn't great for a smaller arena)

Atlantic City - 10 (after the disappointment of the postponement, it was well worth the wait; I was stunned that they were able to play with such skill and energy; my favorite all time show of the 11 I've seen since '81.)

I don't get it, TE, you saw a lot more concerts than I did...?

2005: MSG 8-, Giants 8.5, Albany 9,5
2006: Berlin: 7.5, Köln, 7, Paris 10, Amsterdam 8
2007: Nijmegen: 6-, Dusseldorf 9.5

Bye
P.R

Berlin - 8.5

Horsens - 9

Copenhagen - 10

Interesting that a lot of the ratings are for shows relatively close together either geographically or they follow the tour schedule pretty closely. Pretty logical, though.

Definitely many exceptions to this, though.

How did you manage to sneak in both nights? I would like to make a mental note of it and try it next time myself if possible? I was there both nights.

Hi! This is my first post here.

2005:
Chicago 10 - amazing new sound, A section

2006:
Milan 8 - first five songs 5 (Volume! Volume!), FOS
Wien 10 - ABB show, FOS
Nice 7 - average, pick from Ronnie, but with The Big Nellcote Robbery 10 (only grass and stones from the garden), FOS
Amsterdam 8 - Sway, good sound in FOS, BiggerBash

Atlantic City 0, Beacon I-II 0 - tears

2007:
Werchter 7 - setlist 10, FOS
Budva 7 - mini-Rio, Hotel Splendid, then beach, then Rattlesnake Inn (some drink, pass? thrown out), then VIParea (some drink), then FOS, then backstage (some work, pass? thrown out). I was very drunk, so ok: 10
Belgrade 10 - very good crowd, FOS
Budapest ? - hometown show, I don't know. Picks from everyone. If this is in somewhere else 8, b-stage rail
Brno 8 - LIS, good venue for me, FOS, then VIParea again, some drink 'till morning.
London III 10 - what can I say? 11? 112 row E

...But, the Stones performance is always 10-11!

Thanks to everyone for the best website! I can't live without this (and Dime:-))

Erik,

Sorry, should not have access to a keyboard after a great night at the Sing & Surf in Oslo
I meant your rating. Luved it.
Here's mine...

Fenway I - Way too much sun
MSG II - Warmest January day in NYC history?
Chicago UC1 - Windy and colder than... (Chicago?)
Munich - Sunny
Berlin - Hmm, was it sunny? No rain.
Cologne - Think this was the one I lost 5 kg at. "Warm" and Sunny
Stuttgart - Hmm, was it sunny? No rain.
Halifax - Got sunburned around 1 pm. Then the coldest ever. 8 hrs of rain.
Brussels/Werchter - Hmm, was it sunny? Think cloudy.
Frankfurt - How should I know after that Caiprinha (spell) accident.
Paris - Sun, rain
Copenhagen - Sunny
Oslo - Sun, 30 seconds rain
Dusseldorf - A bit of everything, no rain (yes, some Germans got me drunk)
Hamburg - A bit of everything, no rain (yes, some Germans got me drunk)
Saarbrucken - Sorry, that was Turbonegro. My swap for Slane. Better weather, lousy beer

TE
Oslo

05 Boston, Fenway Park (#1) (ABB tour opener) 6.5
05 New Brunswick, Moncton Magnetic Field 10
05 Pittsburg, PNC park 8
05 Charlottesville, Scott Stadium 10
05 Durham, Wallace Wade Stadium 6
06 Baltimore, Baltimore Arena 10
06 NYC, Beacon Theater (#2) 10
06 Las Vegas, MGM Grand Garden Arena (#3) 8

I would have liked to make it across the pond to catch some European shows but financially I couldn't swing it. U.S. ABB shows I wish I could have caught but didn't include 06 Boston Gillette stadium, Austin Zilker Park, Wichita Cessna stadium and of course Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2007-09-09 18:13 by its good to be anywhere.

Nice report, TE! Maybe one could include which type of drinks one had before the shows ? After the next tour maybe ?
