Your most striking thing you saw on Stones ABB tour

Well mine was in the men's washroom. A urinal shaped like a big tongue Stones like. Where you may ask, Seattle. The bootlegged shirts couldn't possibly compete with that.

A large curtain sand bag that fell and missed Keith's head by inches in Shanghai.

Considering the fact that Keith did hurt his head a bit later it almost seems like an attempt on his life.

it almost seemed like that even without the Later Episodes -
very odd occurrence, in any case.

Boise, Idaho 14 November, 2006:

I was FOS at that one.
Keith points at the woman next to me and thrusts
his hips forward while pulling back with his arms
as if to say "yeah baby, I wanna do you!"

The first time I saw the B-stage taking off the main stage! GREAT! Since then I've seen it 17 times, and it's still great.

The lightnings anouncing a lasting thunderstorm, just when Van the Man was taking the stage at Goffert Park, Nijmegen. As the first notes hit the audience
it started to rain heavily for about 1 1/2 hours. Van was long gone by then. But then we were hit by the big(ger) bang...

sadly, a very sparse audience in the FOS section in Paris last June. the second half of the pitch was quite full, but when Mick would come over to the side of the stage, he was singing to an audience only 10 rows deep.
Depressing, but it's the Stones/Cohl's fault.

My first ABB concert in Horsens. The whole build-up of the concert. I was taken closer and closer to the stage through the day. When I finally stood in front of it I thought "F*** that's big".

Also when they started the concert. Just awesome.

An elevator door opening and Keith Richards standing there, resplendent in shades, scarf and hat and looking like the coolest person in the entire universe with minimal effort.

Even though I'd been standing waiting for it to happen, when it did, I still felt the need to quite audibly blurt out "Oh F***ing Christ...."

All the pillocks around here, criticising every note of it and saying they ought to pack it in.
Look at us all now. Sat around picking our noses, scratching our arses and wondering what to talk about ;^)

After going to the first show at Fenway, I was completely shocked with how the Stones played such a canned set list with hardly any sort of surprises other than She's So Cold and a few new songs. Nearly identical to what I took many of my Boston area friends to see last tour at Gillete Stadium, right down to Miss You on the b-stage. And I am the one my friends turn to and ask, why do they always play the same songs...

Most striking for me was GETTING INTO RADIO CITY (FOR FREE! ) AND SEEING THEM THERE.

One image that's been etched into my memory: the sight of Keith climing along the lodge seats above me, and playing the solo for SFTD. Like some kind of dream that got added to the Rolling-Stones-Recollections lobe of my brain

THe 'Stones' still rocking the joint in London 21/8 and 23/8/07 and hearing them mix up the set list by playing 13 different songs over both concerts-

Let it Bleed
You Got Me Rocking
Rocks Off
Beast of Burden
Can't you Hear me Knocking
Respectable
Lets Spend the Night Together
All Down the Line
She's so Cold
Shine a Light
Midnight Rambler
Miss You
IORR

Overall could not have asked for anymore - especially the crowd on Thursday night which was full of adrenelin drunkies having a f---ing great party night out thanks to some great music by the skinny english cats who never fail to surprise or excite me.
