QuoteThommie Seems like BOTH Big Bang AND Amanda Jenssen are opening for Stones this date. Interesting new development - TWO openers? Gonna be a long night waiting in the Golden Circle for the main event.

It is a shame there have been no discussions on the set lists on this site. Kidding! I agree You Got Me Rocking is a bit of a strange one. For some reason, they seem to love it. I don't mind that one (although some people seem to have a real problem with it) - but you would think they could come up with something better. (Bring back Love is Strong for starters as an example?). I have to

Quotethorgal34 Card payments for t-shirts and stuff also possible at the shows?? I'd also like to know if they have taken Credit Cards at the previous Europe shows. Of course you can't predict if that will hold true for future shows, but so far have they taken plastic? Also - how have the lines been? I'm going to the Sweden show, and would be good to know what to expect. Thanks

It does say Stockholm is Not Officially Sold Out, BUT - there have not been any tickets available since the day of the sale, and there are none to be had now (again, other than maybe the expensive VIP packages). Yes, it is possible they will release some more, but for the moment, this show appears to be pretty much sold out. It sounds like several of the other Europe shows are also either sold o

I think the records he started making in 1997 might in the end be regarded as his greatest. Well said Kylock. I recently thought the only truly great album any of the greats (Bob, Paul, Bowie, Stones, Bruce, Neil, etc.) has made over the past 20 years or so (this is totally just one guy's opinion) - Time Out of Mind.

Bob's relationship (or lack thereof) with his fans is interesting. One would imagine he has had his share of total fanatics over the years. My quick Bob story. I'm the sort that will on occassion try and catch some of my favorite performers before of after a show, in hopes of getting an autograph, handshake, picture, whatever - but that's it. Would never cross a line. I've

My current Top 5 Dream songs (I'd be ecstatic to hear any one in Stockholm): Cant You Hear Me Knocking?

Silver Train (I'd have given a toe for them to have played it in Macau) Live With Me (30 shows, going on 31 - still never seen it)

Interesting about the opening act. I was not really expecting one. Gave a quick look at one of her Youtube videos (Save My Soul - or something like that). She's not bad - almost sounds like Adele, if she rocked. And easy on the eyes as well. The good news 'might' be for those in the Golden Circle, that lots of folks might be inclined to skip her, giving those willing to go throug

I bought it while in Hong Kong pre Macau show. I think it sounds great. I have a decent surround sound set up, and it really sounds great from the first notes of GS to the final. Yes - get it.

Funny, I've been thinking of starting a "which warhorse would you most like to see dropped?' thread. To my way of thinking, the BIG 10 currently are: JJ Flash, Tumbling Dice, Start Me Up, Sympathy, Brown Sugar, Miss You, Honky Tonk Women, IOR&Roll, You Can't Always Get WYW and Satisfaction. I suppose Paint it Black could also be added. Me - I can't imagine a Stone

Good report Crackinup. I see him for the 15th time at Mohegan Sun in CT next Sat. and can't wait. Been following this tour leg quite closely (just missed seeing the New Orleans show over the weekend). Truly, his set lists are a fans dream. On his recent Aussie tour (and others) he has done complete Born to Runs, The Wild the Innocent, etc. Can you imagine the Stones mid-set all of a sudde

QuoteStonesfan2146 It could be played soon. We have to wait for rehearsal lists first. They rehearse all kinds of things - and then don't play them! Yes, I too would LOVE Moonlight Mile. Hell, I'd still give a toe for Silver Train.

I just got a DVD of the Macau show off EBay. Pretty DEcent quality. I was at the show so it was fun to see. Great Gimme Shelter. Liked seeing the 'gospel ending' to YCAGWYW.

Forum: Tell Me

I had the good fortune to be at the Macau show, and it was the best Gimme Shelter I've ever seen. Spine tingling - much of it due to Lisa's awesome performance. I think overall, she's an asset to the band. Can do without her barking 'Satisfaction!' on some of the shows I've listened to, but for the most part I think she's pretty good.

Picked up a Jeff Soundcheck package for the Boston show this morning - $175, 5th row ticket, plus the goodies. IMHO Jeff is the best guitar player ever - no one else even playing 'the same sport' to paraphrase Pulp Fiction. Should be a great double bill!

I was in Rome about 4 years ago and the day we went to the Coliseum they had a stage with seats and lights set up on the ground level. Turns out it was for a (expensive benefit) show by Andre Bocceli. But not more than probably a few hundred seats. Watched it on TV later that evening - so a small show can be done and has.

I somehow missed Moonlight Mile also on a couple occassions. I've heard almost the rest of SF (Sway, CYHMK, Sister Morphine) but never MM. That and not getting Silver Train in Macau a few weeks ago.

I bought what I think and HOPE is a Gold Circle - my email confirmation says General Admission, but GC is what I clicked and it was 1,495. Number of tickets:1 Your seats: General Admission 1 Regular @ SEK 1,495.00 = SEK 1,495.00 (Tax Included) Just checked AXS - I feel a little better, it says GC3.
