Could anybody hear Sasha tonight, I wonder.

I would swap "nosebleeds" in a heartbeat for not being there at all! Don't worry, we had them in Southampton but it's a far cry from getting them in a stadium twice the size like London. We had a great view and it was brilliant seeing the whole of the stage all the time. A different experience from standing but it kind of rounded things out for me.

I'm hoping against hope that there might be some late LDs for Twickenham, or that some kind soul will have a spare.

Quotesyrel QuoteTekumseh The thing is that you can not enter with LD-tickets without the LD-stamp on your hand, so there was no point in giving them away. Did this happen to you? It's the first I've heard of this kind of thing. It didn't happen to me at London 1 - no one checked my hand stamp, and the ticket office allowed me to pick up my pair without my friend there, so he w

Quoteslewan the only realistic options – beside the songs they used as openers so far – are: - Satisfation - Brown Suger (an opener for a Stones show has to be a well known song etc) Don't you think 19th NB would work? It's got a good hook to get the audience involved straight away. Is there a reason they don't play it much now?

19th Nervous Breakdown might work well, but can't see it happening.

QuoteMaindefender The last photo above is so incredible. Yes, it really shows the intimacy of the venue.
Forum: Tell Me

And there were so many food and drink stalls outside, it was like a fairground We were surprised how little there was on offer around London Stadium. The catering was very poor. I know there are tons of places in Westfield, but after picking up our LDs we didn't feel like trekking all the way back there and back again.

Well said, sjs. I wouldn't dream of throwing a ticket away without doing my best to find someone who could use it.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotesjs12 I thought Sasha was pretty much inaudible on her solo in GS. It was strange because you could see her screaming away into the microphone but you just couldn't hear her. Such a shame really as this is meant to be a climatic moment. Someone should tell the sound engineer that she is doing more than backing vocals on this bit! It was the same on London #1

Either do it as it was written or consign it the dustbin of different times but don't try to fit it into some PC mindset that really doesn't suit. Well, quite. Would Tina Turner or Kim Carnes chan

Quoteslewan Twickenham seems to be sold out (at least there are no more tickets available at AXS). Seems to be the only show on this tour that is sold out before the day of the show I had a similar result when looking at Southampton tickets on Monday, but it clearly wasn't sold out as the box office was doing good business on the day.
Forum: Tell Me

One odd thing re the show not being quite sold out (there were a few empty seats near us). I was curious to see which seats were being sold in which price category, so the day before the show I tried to book a few (without completing) to see what came up. A couple of categories were already marked as sold out, but there appeared to be availability on most. However, everything I tried came up

Quotejohn lomax Sasha's microphone is too quiet in Gimme Shelter - her part should really stand out but at the 3 shows I have seen on this tour it's been hard to hear her. Yes, I agree. At London 1 I thought it must be an oversight on someone's part, but I couldn't hear her at London 2 or last night either. Disappointing.
