Seeing Mick Taylor, would be great ! I've seen Chris Jagger some years ago in the East of Amsterdam, he was really nice, good music and really low-profile. Worth going, for only 10 Euro

I've seen it in Groningen, it is really worth a visit. 2 hours from my home. Pretty relaxed and nice people. The City centre is much more relaxed compared to Amsterdam or Rotterdam. You will definetely enjoy a nice weekend, or a night or 2.

It was Holland based, they got problems with Stones management. I am sure Bert, Sjoerd and Hans are on this site, and they will be able to tell some more. A lovely magazine, with fantastic meetings in Stairways Cafe in Utrecht, Holland.

Who on earth is going to wear this ? It's sooo childish, sooo cheap . I feel ashamed being a fan, at this very moment.

I was there and I thought it was a pity, that they played big hits as well. It would have been a nice occasion to play e.g. Lady Jane, or more songs that they hardly ever play, instead of JJF etc. One big advantage : there were no lines to get a beer

The 10 % discount will definitely not pay the customs and shipping. These costs are about the same, as the price for the product. Such a pity, they have some nice stuff sometimes.

I like them both, and some of the shirts in the Carnaby shop as well.The only problem is that I live in Holland, and last time I paid 30 Euro taxes at the courier, for a 40 Euro t-shirt. Very sorry, but I'm not paying 70 euro's for any t-shirt. Without even trying if the size fits well. Sometimes you buy an XXL, the lenght is then OK, but when you raise your arms, the whole shirt lif

I wonder if it will be possible to buy merchandise outside the stadium, just before the concert. I haven't been to the Amsterdam Arena for a while. Does anyone knows how it was, in e.g. Madrid or Munich ? Buying merch from the site is very expensive considering taxes, and shipping etc. Definitely from Carnaby Street, since Brexit. And the Stones site, isn't too fast, as well.

I am not assuming that they are tired of their own songs, but I wonder how it comes that they don't get tired of it. I would, if I was a creative musician. How much challenge is there for Keith or Ronnie or Mick, to play Start me up, Miss you and Sympathy ? I can imagine there is some challenge for them in playing Mothers Little Helper or 19th Nervous Breakdown. See how the crowd react
Forum: Tell Me

They must get sicked and tired and bored, playing the same songs every night, for over many, many years. Especially for people being creative and loving music and art. As I can hardly hear these songs anymore without getting bored, how must it be like to play them , everytime ? And keep looking enthousiastic, as if you have just discovered them ?

Yes I did. She was really enthousiastic and said it was the best moment of her entire life. She has seen loads of shows, saw them in the USA as well, and she was still not believing she really met them. She was instructed not to wear any stones gear, if I remember well.

Quotebitusa2012 Could it also be that the fans know they’ll get the same set list as they got years and years ago? Nothing new to hear apart from perhaps Living in a Ghost Town. So why pay to see the same old same old. Pity. A new album, three or four new tracks and maybe, maybe some (some) of those sitting on the fence might have bought tickets. The Stones bought this on themselves perhaps? I

Plundered My Soul is a real favorite of mine, gives me really an Exile-feel, but I don't think it will work in a stadium. The lyrics, the guitars really need serious listening.The feel will be blown away in a large stadium, I guess.

QuoteAntoineParis Sound in the pit was great in 2017 I was in the first circle behind the pit, and the sound wasn't the worst, indeed. But the massive crowd, the 2 percent alcohol in the beer, and the same songs year after year, really started annoying me, although I have seen them 40 times. And after Arnhem in 2017, I just realised : for me it's over. But for everyone else : Enj

QuoteMathijs The Johan Cruijff Arena (old Amsterdam Arena) is just totally not suitable for any concert. And the current Stones, with a set of only 19 songs, without Charlie Watts, with mainly big hits I do not want to hear anymore, at these prices, in a venue totally unsuited for music: forget about it. Bring on El Mocambo! Mathijs Very well said, Mathijs. There you got it all. Except

You are lucky ! If they would have sent it from UK, you could easily count on 40 % VAT and taxes ! I got an email from them, telling it's not their fault, which I understand, and agree with. Eventhough, this was the last shirt I ordered from them .

Ordered 2 tank tops last week, ( XL and XXL ), courier costs 18 Euro = 78 Euro all together. Also received an email from DHL : 33 Euro import duty/tax !! Do I really have to pay that ? In my order it says that VAT is included for the Netherlands ( 13 Euro ). My goodness : 2 tanktops ( to be sure that one of them fits ) = 111 Euro

Didn't pull the trigger either. I am quite sure that I will look at it once, and then see it as another picture of Keith, Ronnie and so on. Why isn't there a stamp on the sheet with a picture of the band in the beginning of the '60's ?

It was a beautiful sunday, and he was enjoying the ride and the calm, on his own. Just stretching his legs, and enjoying the sun. Nobody is expecting him or looking for him .And he is not well known by the people either, in Holland. Totally unknown. Don't think he needs much shape for getting on stage. He only has to stand straight up. And he might sit down, if he wants to.

A friend of mine bought Snap, the best-of dubbel album, it really knocked me off my feat.And still does. The only problem is, like with the Faces, is that it gets even better, when you're drinking quite a few beers, while listening to it. It's some kind of thirsty-making music With the Stones music, it doesn't seem to matter much.... Weird, isn't it ?
