Quotegrzegorz67 The absolutely worst organised transport of any show on the tour by a country mile. My friends, who live near Cambridge, left after Gimme Shelter and were home before midnight. 3.15 am and I'm all alone at the none too salubrious Victoria Coach station, absolutely knackered, hungry and with still 3 hours to wait for the treacle slow coach home. I had a @#$%& nightmare ge

Great evening for the gig though and I hope it is everything the previous UK dates have been and more. The enemy of my enemy is my friend We need you lot back in the prem. But yes hopefully it goes as well as the other dates so far - they

I'm a Liverpool FC fan - it's tough for me seeing a pic with Stretford End behind them, but since they're the greatest RnR band in the world I might just let them off this one time

SFTD on Ya Ya's is arguably their best ever "live" track. I would love to see them recreate that '69 version in a smaller venue, but the current SFTD version (especially on this tour where its improved) works well in stadiums.

When The Whip Comes Down All Down The Line You Got Me Rocking Going To A Go-Go - Would love this with an extended drum intro from Charlie. The downside is it would mean introducing the sax straight off which probably wouldn't be a good idea and it's a cover.

Quotewuzznbuddy No issues with fakes, but in the barcode era there’s always a risk you’re getting a ticket that has been cancelled. You won’t know till you get to the gate. Chances are you’ll be fine, and definitely worth a punt at the prices being asked. The touts I saw weren’t buying GA or seats at 7:30. So the market wasn’t exactly flying. Thanks. I wouldn't mind seeing Florence so will

Always loved Live With Me - first heard it on Ya Ya's which I bought before LIB. But tbh any of those 4 would do nicely

Wow that is a great price. It would a GA ticket that I want. What time did you get the ticket at? I think last entry is 8.30 and the band are on around that time. Are fakes a problem at these gigs? Thanks.

After such a great show on the 22nd I'm thinking of going again on Friday - does anyone know how much touts were selling tickets for outside the stadium on the 22nd? Cheers.

Quotesjs12 I've only just had the opportunity to sit down and watch some youtube vids of last night. It certainly looks from my screen like they played better than in Dublin and probably better than last year in general. I still think they played better at Hyde Park a few years back but it's hard to tell given the more pro production given to Sweet Summer Sun. I'm hoping they

Quotebye bye johnny QuoteIanBillen Quoteredkev Fool To Cry was sublime and delighted that UMT won the vote. They kept the arrangement quite close to the original and even though its was massively different from the Still Life version it was still brilliant. Fool to Cry was not played on the 81 (/82) tour .. Nor is it on the record 'Still Life'? Jus noting that. Note that "

Just got home from an epic show. My first since Hyde Park so it was great to hear the Stones at a decent volume! Sound quality could have been better, bit muddy but overall it was a massive improvement from last time I saw them. SFM as an opener was a lovely surprise - and they started off tight as @#$%&. A few sloppy moments here and there during the show but they quickly pulled it round eac

Its hard to pick just one - they're all great! Its a shame they're not playing more than two from the album on this tour. If they cut out a few of the longer tracks they could practically play the whole album! Easy to say with hindsight but I wish they had released blues cover albums instead of their last few original albums which have all been patchy at best. In fact being perfectl

I would be interested in a swap for two tickets I have for the Tues 22nd show if that is any good?
Forum: Ticket Trader

Would have been a totally different album and much better had it included Child Of the Moon and We Love You instead of a couple of the weaker tracks. I guess hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Even tho I bet they would love to carry on "forever" having watched that recent interview with Charlie I don't think he would be keen on much more tbh. For someone his age its amazing he is able to do what he does to such a high standard anyway. Sooner rather than later it unfortunately has to come to a halt. As Charlie himself said I hope its done gracefully, with no arguments etc
Forum: Tell Me

In terms of musical performance it is probably as good as any stones track but the song itself is a long way behind their best. Its more of a jam and in that regard is similar to some of the stuff on Exile (Shake Your Hips etc) although the production is much cleaner and more crisp (not necessarily better - depends on taste). You could make a case for it being one of their best grooves - love the

As others have said Darryl is more technical but I think Bill suited the Stones better. His playing was looser and seemed to gel better with the others. There are a few clips on youtube which are supposedly his original bass parts. They are amazing to listen to - not in terms of technical excellence (the timing is not great in parts) but the way in which he varies note length and up/down strokes
Forum: Tell Me

Ya Ya's - I made a playlist in iTunes from the original album and the extras on the 40th anni release in the order in which they were mostly played on the tour. The song flow is great but obviously, once the order is rearranged, the crowd noise doesn't quite flow - may put the tracks into ableton or audacity and correct this at some stage.

Please don't start with SMU - I've seen the stones 4 times and its been that every time! I'm hoping for a few off BnL and a couple of surprises. Would love something like Going To A Go-Go and/or Just My Imagination. Hopefully Keith is on form, he was a bit ropey last time I saw them at Hyde Park. I'm sure the sound at London Stadium will be better than Hyde Park, it was far to

Used someone else's code which they didn't need to get 2 GA for 22 May. If I get my own code I will post here (not sure if the fact I had to give my email to purchase means I won't get a code - I doubt it, that would be too much like organisation!).

Ticketmaster says the "accessible presale" for the London Stadium is from 9am tomorrow. Earlier I got a mail from stones website saying its from 12 noon tomorrow. Anyone know which is correct? Thanks
