I was at the Isle of Wight when they didnt play Gimme Shelter or Paint It, Black but instead "treated" the audience to Rough Justice, You Got Me Rocking, Wanna Hold You and Aint To Proud To Beg. They died on their holes - at least until the part of the set when they started plating things like Miss You. Compare to Glastonbury where they pretty much stuck to the bangers and levelled

Miss You has grown in popularity in recent years among younger and newer Stones fans. Not playing it would piss people off, particularly folk who only go to one show. Whereas if you go to multiple shows, a lot of setlist repetition is the price you're going to pay.

I think they've both got the marquees up that they use for rugby days.

Yeah....but there'll still be more votes cast overall in the battle between Cloud and Rainbow.

The Haymarket will be packed tomorrow. Its a decent pub but you might not get the space you need. There's a pub just up from it called Malone's which has a huge upstairs that might be a bit quieter. Locals will know it as the place that used to be Diane's Pool Hall.

QuotesamMuc I like it. It' s Plain and simple. Much better compared to Manchester. That's a low bar. It's fine; looks like a 1989 Steel Wheels tongue. But nothing about it especially vibes Edinburgh.

Nah.

It's the Met Office that have issued the Yellow Warning. No need to panic just yet though. It could easily come to nothing. There were also storms forecast last Saturday thay didnt arrive.

Heartbreaker is my jam, but it doesn't have a snowball's chance so throwing my weight behind Rainbow.

She's a goddamn Rainbow for the win

No song vote for Edinburgh?

Another wee boost for this, for those who're finding that the Dirty Strangers arent doing it for them

QuoteTonstone So Maxx can you tell what Hotel this is . I know where MJ is staying but can you name the hotel where KR is ? I think it's forum policy not to name the hotels the band are staying in.
Forum: Tell Me

I get that theyre creatures of habit and always stay at that particular hotel.....but in terms of location it muct be about the least private one in the city.

Scotrail have given a wee warning about the trains being stowed between Glasgow and Edinburgh, although that'll be in both directions due to the gig at Hampden.
Forum: Tell Me

And prepare to walk back again afterwards
Forum: Tell Me

Like I said..... It's about a 15 - 20 minute walk from the West End, depending on where you start from. Trams won't be affected by the road closures but there might be queues to get onboard.
Forum: Tell Me

It's basically saying don't travel to the stadium from the city centre by car or taxi. Walk or take a tram.

Road closures:

Hopefully the weather will be like today. It's a belter.
Forum: Tell Me

There's only one tram. It leaves from the airport and stops right at Haymarket. Takes about 25 minutes or so. Or you could take the bus, but there are roadworks at Haymarket at the moment so I think the buses are diverted.

First tip would be to not ask for a 'Scotch' in the pub.
Forum: Tell Me

Leven Street is pretty much in the city centre. There's decent pubs (Cloisters, Bennets) and food options (Tuk Tuk, Trenchtown) right on your doorstep. Though might not be much open there at 1am.
Forum: Tell Me

QuotePaintMonkeyManBlack Only if the other 2 options are Gomper and In Another Land. If only one options is something 'big' like you got me rocking there will be no chance for MM or RO. Fingers crossed that they mix it up a bit from Hampden 2006 i.e. no Ruby Tuesday, You Got Me Rocking or She's So Cold.

Right lads. Monkey Man or Rocks Off for the song vote FFS.

Glorious night for it.

I'm disproportionately annoyed by that Old Trafford poster. Manchester has shown the world the best of itself in the last 12 months and the Stones have chosen to depict rows and rows of empty seats in a stadium.

If Edinburgh's is a tongue and lips ball going over a rugby goal I'll be leaving it in the shelf.
