He has been humming YGM during MR quite a lot, since 2015. On the Zip Code tour YGM was the song I most desperately wanted to hear, but his humming was the closest I got. But, yes, Dusseldorf was a bit of variety! syrel

Quotestone4ever Just to put the record straight, when Keith starts songs like SMU and JJF with a loud opening chord and then a pause, and then he starts the intro properly, IT IS NOT A MISTAKE. He is doing it on purpose. I love it , it brings the crowd on and its exciting. All this BS that Keith was starting Brown Sugar instead of SMU is rubbish. I don't disagree with your overall perspec

I actually think that slowing it down has moved it away from the stale Chuck version, this version reminds me more of ZZ Top. syrel PS Love the fact that I post some mildly negative comments after the Stockholm show and get it in the neck, and then get I post enthusiastic comments about the Arnhem show and receive a smug putdown. Gotta love this forum.

Back home now, and still think this was a really fine show. If Dusseldorf was a 9/10, this was a very solid 7 or 8. Some specific comments: - SFTD was amazing, gave me goosebumps all the way through. I generally like this as an opener anyway, but last night was definitely the best one I've heard on this tour. The opening lines gave me a sense that Mick was 'on' last night, and t

Waiting for a train back to the airport so, briefly - a very very good show. Mick in particular on form tonight, but Keith v good too. Mr D was flawless, SSC surprisingly good. Awful sound in the arena but band performance managed to overcome it. Not quite as good as Duss for me, but close. Definitely worth sleeping in an airport for.

I'd say Keith side is about 40% empty at the moment, which seems a bit odd for 8.15. Maybe the Arnhem crowd are late arrivers. Or maybe the Ronnie side is crammed!

People in the queue for pit Keith are getting very angry. If they wait til the support comes on, there will be a flare up. It's taking far more effort by the security staff than whatever they are saving by keeping it closed!

Does anyone know why they do this odd thing of filling Ronnie's side first, especially if they allow people to move to Keith's side later? I just walked into Ronnie's side and there's a bunch of people just waiting to switch sides. I've come back out and there's a queue blocking a walkway of people waiting for Keith's side to open. It just doesn't make se

Hi Does anyone have any animated videos of any tongue logos, either as small video clips or animated gifs/pngs etc? Looking for something for a small computer project.

QuoteBowieStone Indeed syrel, I read that and I completely agree. Chances are high that I would have loved the Düsseldorf gig if I was closer to the stage and even more important: better sound.

QuoteGreen Lady Mick takes a regular two song break every show and nobody suggests that it's because he's feeling under the weather. No, because that's what Mick does AT EVERY SHOW, so it is a normal part of the set.

Quotestone4ever I think it makes perfect sense for Keith to take a well earned rest and a breather during half of Miss You, if it means as indicated by you, that he plays the second half of the show strong. If he was feeling under the weather (which is just my theory, based on what I saw and heard - others seemed to have heard a much better show than me) then I agree it would make sense fo

Back home in the UK for a day between Stockholm and Arnhem... I don't want to pee on anyone's cornflakes, so I'll make this brief, but I thought it was quite a lacklustre show.
