Happy birthday, Mick! We love you!

Today, we celebrate Mick Jagger’s 79th birthday!

The Stones will play the Veltins Arena or Schalke for short and I’ll be there!

I have tickets for seats just opposite the stage (Nordkurve), Block N5. And as I will attend the show there, naturally, I won’t be able to post the links to live-streams, the setlist and pics here!

BUT, I will try to stream that show for you! I have an old Facebook profile which I didn’t care very much about through the years. But as it allows me to stream the show on Wednesday, I hope very much that this will work out and you and me can enjoy a nice (and hopefully steady) stream like we did so often during the last tours.

The view from Nordkurve to the stage should be unobstructed, hopefully, and have a decent sound without too many echoes.

So when it’s about showtime, have a look at my Facebook profile for any live video!

In case shit happens and this doesn’t work, just try the Facebook search for live videos with “Rolling Stones” as a search pattern. Hopefully, others, too, will stream from there. Once there, you can narrow down the search by selecting ‘today’ or ‘sort by – newest’. Don’t be surprised about the results… there’s some weired stuff flying around sometimes…

So then, let’s wish us luck and let’s have a blast on Wednesday with the greatest Rock’nRoll band ever to walk the surface of this planet! 😉

Shattered in Paris! The Stones rock Paris and will roll the dice tonight!!

This time, weather conditions are perfect: about 26° Celsius (about 78,8° Fahrenheit) is about as convenient as it could get. All the ‘boys’ in the band are in their late 70ies, approacung 80 and I really don’t know anymore how to express my sheer wonder and amazement about this band!

What an incredible lucky bunch of fans are we to STILL enjoy evenings like these??

We MUST cherish this and don’t take anything for granted here: this is a very rare and precious exception and mother nature doesn’t have plenty of these to share.
Ok, ’nuff said. (God, I love this band!)

Soundcheck: they played Tumblin’ Dice and Like A Rolling Stone

=> I guess, as for the venue, which is a bit out of the city and on open field, it’s not so well connected as other venues are. That’s why there are few streams and/or they loose contact easily…

PICs:

In between the shows of this great Stones Tour, I got into contact with something really special by some really nice person! Let me tell you about this…

With beginning of this month, I came across Erwin Hoetjes book “Tourbook ’72”. After reading about this, I contacted him, ordered this sepcial book and I am deeply in awe before the amount of work and diligence, he had put into this project. He was working for 23 years on this!
Here’s what he wrote about Tourbook ’72:

Here it is, a 1,5 kilo manuscript full with 1972 STP Info, spread over 332 pages in 32 chapters. Now for the first time in its full glory. So far I have not been able to find a publisher yet. Most important is that I sincerely hope the Stones will do something valuable with their 1972 legacy. Especially now that for the first time they have released the complete live show from El Mocambo! They start to learn.
I made a few test prints. For those who might be interested please contact me privately for further details.

I contacted him and asked for his permission to tell you about this and write a review. He was kind enough to agree. Now let me tell you some more about this: This book is wonderful, a real gem for anyone interested into The Rolling Stones and their history. It is literally PACKED with information and pictures. It will take quite some time to read through this! He added:

You get a 1425 gram book full with 1972 STP Info, spread over 332 pages in 32 chapters, covering each visit to each city. The shows are described, all Jaggers outings are scrutinized. All pictures are placed with the right show. It’s a manuscript about the greatest tour ever. Now for the first time in its full glory. Have been working 23 years on this project and have a number of dissapointing reactions from publishers. I decided to make some test prints.

If you are interested into getting your hands on one more of the few test prints, you just need to send him a note and you can clear all the details needed.

As Erwin only charges the postage, and you get the book for free I would humbly suggest that you add some little extra to the postage and packaging if you like – in apprechiation of his labour!

BTW, you can read his review of the Amsterdam show right here…

OK, weather conditions are still serious – so take care, folks!

PICS:

Mick’s strolling around Lyons has got plenty of coverage: 20minutes.fr // leprogres.fr // lebonbon.fr // gala.fr  … for example.

Ronnie seems to be sound and fit – greeting fans and asking them to keep it safe:

Doors open at 18:00 hours, opening act will be “Nothing But Thieves” – they will start their set approximately at 20:00. The Stones will be on some minutes past 21:00…

Groupama Stadion informed us before about times and facts:

Lyonmag.com, too, has plenty of informations: “Heat wave, access and schedule: what you need to know for the Rolling Stones concert at Groupama Stadium“

There are several reviews in austrian papers which have Fridays show as subject.

The article of Der Standart “Rolling Stones in Wien – Sex, Drugs und Apfelstrudel” you know already – here are some more (thx to Dietmar!)

Kurier.at - "Rolling Stones inspire Vienna: Mick and his Hawara"

Kleinezeitung.at - "More than two hours of pure "satisfaction" at the concert in the Ernst Happel Stadium"

Krona.at - "Rolling Stones: Timeless rock with a message of peace"

Vol.at - "The Rolling Stones concert in Vienna was a triumph"
