QuoteMarthaTuesday Quotekleermaker Martha, I see a another great pre-show adventure dawning. Going to your brother in Australia seems a good thing to me, especially if you go to a RS concert there with a much smaller crowd instead of the massive masses in Europe. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your decision! I can't help but think that it's fate I should go see them in Austra

QuoteManofwealthandtaste As far as I am aware the StonesVikings get-together on Monday is at Stampen in the Old Town, I am sure Mickijaggeroo will reconfirm that..... Sounds good! Are Non-Vikings able to join ? I have a surname of viking origin, does that count ?

Quotegotdablouse Great, another one shot not too far from where I was ;-) Going back in time, the "Pelouse VIP" when I arrived at 6.36PM, not too crowded fortunately! Felt a bit bad for the "Pelouse Or" as I walked through the filtering point... I've got a photo of my own almost identical to this. I was 2nd row in Pelouse Or, Keith Side, near the B Stage and VIP

Not only did I get a good spot - I stood with my long time friend and his son who live in Cambridge I unfortunately had a shoulder joust with a local to my left who was trying to make space for his girlfriend to his left (by pushing me, an innocent party to his right) but I refused to cave even though he was much bigger and younger and he eventually backed down.>< You don't solve pro

From my 2nd row spot in Pelouse Or in Paris (bought on the bus on the way in bizarrely lucky circumstances) I saw him pacing around the VIP Pit smiling and saying Hello to lots of people while we waited for the Stones to come on. The VIP pit in Paris was very sparsely filled at the back while there was the usual argy bargy and elbowing in Or to gain just a few extra inches. I'm going out

Martha, Ryannair do a good service from Stansted to Stockholm Skavsta. To cut costs Stockholm has many good, clean hostels. I would heartily reccommend a Scandinavian visit - I was in Oslo and loved it despite its high prices. I even met a local man called Bjornulf at the final rehearsals at the Telenor and he very kindly gave me,Crawdaddy and 2 others a lift into Oslo Centre afterwards Bj

Quotekleermaker Martha, that's the best and most interesting report I've ever read about a concert experience! Finally you made it to Rome. Particularly I liked to read all the personal details: about the smartphone, the run to the pit, the water bottle, being directed wrong again after the show, the blisters, the dry eyes. Great that you liked Rome as I predicted you would and

QuoteGJV I loved that tour too. They sounded a little more raw and dirtier in comparison with the Steel Wheels/ Urban Jungle tour. The setlist had more variations and ofcourse they did the four clubconcerts in Europe, incl for the first time Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone. Also all the VL songs they played live sounded very good, like the songs were just made to play live. Very good versions

My favourite tour. I saw 2 shows - Sheffield 9/7/95 & Wembley 16/7/95. Even by the time they reached Europe, they were still doing 24 songs a night. Wish I saw more shows.

If I can pick up a Pelouse Or at reasonable cost between now and Wednesday (I head for Paris Thursday am) I'll take it. It will have to be an e-ticket though. Pelouse Or will allow access to the Podium at the End of the Catwalk. I was front row there in Oslo and cannot recommend it highly enough
