It was strange to see the stage turned in the big stadium. This place was lucky not empty and around 8 o'clock already a lot of people were seated. Nice organisation... no stress at the entrance, plenty of places where you could buy food and there were a lot of beer and cocktail girls walking around!
A beautiful night weather wise � with the roof open � and everybody was in an energentic mood including the Rolling stones.
Highlights of the evening for me were Can't You Hear Me Knocking (Ronnie was excellent), You Got The Silver by Keith (very slow), Let It Bleed and All Down The Line.
Forget about the people with their say over Keith. Keith was great and you could feel and see the energy between Keith and Mick when they were playing next to each other.
The show came to the usual end with lights and fireworks... Up to Hamburg right now!
It was my first time to hear Can't you hear me knocking and You got the silver live. And these two and paint it black were my personal highlights. Just Satisfaction doesn't sound good anymore on this tour, I don't know why. But all the other songs sounded like they have to sound.
The Introductions were very funny. As Jagger introduced Lisa Fisher, he said in german: Sch�nes Kleid..und sch�ne schuhe, sind die von deichmann? Everyone was laughing. By the way, Mick spoke a lot in german. Keith came out for the encore, just posed a few seconds, then he played the opening riff but his guitar was still off. So he smiled to the crowd, turned up the volume and played it again. For this tour, this was my last concert but I really hope it was not my last ever..
The seating was same as in Frankfurt. A concert killer sometime. Security ready to kill if you even try to touch the rail. But not today. We moved inch by inch, ready to be attacked. But no one even lifted a finger. By the end of YGMR a few of us were already hanging over the rail. Strange that not more people moved forward. After Oslo this was like flying biz on a Stones concert. So calm. The boys had a ball again. Same as in Copenhagen and Oslo. You can see they are having fun. Charlie smiling and laughing. Keith being Keith, with a few mistakes, but a lot better than a few of the other shows. A few mistakes at Satisfaction and so on. Ronnie to die for. Mick, what can you say. Never seen him running like last night this tour.
�Let it bleed� and �All down the line� as the specials ones today. �Can�t you hear me knockin�� was thrown in as expected after a couple of shows with Midnight Rambler.
No surprise from Keith. �You got the Silver� sure suits him and the voice. Still don�t know why we get �I wanna hold you� all the time. I like the song, but a bit of rotation should be possible. Still hope I will get �Little T & A� once again this tour, or �The worst�. But I feel spoiled. Getting close to 60 different songs since Fenway Park.
B-stage as expected, the last set more or less as usual. Only surprise was the encore. Keith waited till the light was at him before he started. We are talking smiling to us before he starts Brown Sugar. Was like �I-read-the-boards - now-watch-this� Said it before, and to repeat myself. They are having fun. Can�t wait for Hamburg. Thanks boys and Lisa!!!
