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.

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

For me it would be the first time I saw the moving b-stage WITHOUT hearing Miss You - Foxborough on September 20th,2006.
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...
Through an opening in the curtain, seeing Blondie playing guitar backstage. Kind pf ruinied the image I had of the band not using any gimicks or tricks.
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

Same thing happend to me in Frankfurt. It sure was striking, but I didn't even see it coming.
in 2007: Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Jumping Jack Flash in Rome... the heat in Budapest... Charlie signing an autograph for me outside the hotel in Oslo... Shine A Light in London... Mick Jagger in Gotheborg... Ronnie's overall improvement...
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.
Sway, As Tears Go By and Get Off Of My Cloud in Amsterdam. Midnight Rambler, Before They Make Me Run and Satisfaction in Stuttgart. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, She Was Hot and Sweet Virginia in Nijmegen.
Meeting many people from internet boards. Talking and dancing and having fun.
