Przeczytajcie uważnie relację jaką za pośrednictwem Łukasza zdała Dominika z koncertu z 20.09.2002 r. z Philadelpia First Union Center.
Na początku chcę zaznaczyć źe Dominika nie jest (przepraszam
- nie była przed koncertem) jakimś tam ''hard core'' fanem.
Oczywiście mając brata maniaka jest się narażonym na
Stonesowskie promieniowanie, ale przecieź nie jest do warunkiem
zrozumienia tej pasji.Od czasu do czasu coś jej podrzuciłem,
miała kilka ulubionych kawałków, ostatnio nawet miała ode
mnie nagrana kasetę ''Greatest Hits'' , której ponoć dość często
słuchała. Prawie półtoragodzinna rozmowa telefoniczna po
koncercie była niesamowita, niektóre rzeczy zdołałem eynotować.
Najpierw zdania które padały co parenaście sekund więc napiszę
je raz, aby nie powtarzać hehehe:'' TO BYŁO PIĘKNE!!! TO BYŁY
2 NAJPIĘKNIEJSZE GODZINY W MOIM ŻYCIU!! NIESAMOWITE !! NIE DO
OPISANIA !!! WIDZIAŁAM KEITHA !!! JAKIES 20 METRÓW ODE MNIE
!!!! TERAZ MOJE NAJWIĘKSZE MARZENIE TO ZOBACZYĆ ICH JESZCZE RAZ
Z TOBĄ ( czyli ze mną - Łuki :-) !!! ONI SĄ
NIEPRAWDOPODOBNI!!!
Oto co zapamiętałem z jej relacji...Poniźszy opis jest - tak
jak nasza rozmowa - nieco chaotyczny...ale dzięki temu brzmi
chyba bardziej autentycznie.
20/09/2002 Philadelphia, First Union Center (Arena Show)
1. Wszystkie miejsca w których Stonesi grają w Philadelphii sąsiadują
ze sobą. Przed koncertem , w metrze,w autobusach , samochodach
pełno gości w koszulkach z jęzorami. Przed halą jeden gość
grał na gitarze Angie i nad sobą miał ogromny transparent:
THANK YOU JESUS , THANK YOU LORD, FOR THE ROLLING STONES.
Niedaleko grał cover band: grali akurat YCAGWYW...
2. Miejsce miała b.dobre. Jakby moźna ocenić je w skali od 1
do 100. Tzn 1 przy scenie, a 100 to najgorsze to jej miejsce to
ok. 10, blisko sceny, na środku rzędu bocznego po prawej
stronie. Najbliżej miała Keitha, który stał cały czas po
prawo. Obok niej siedziało małżeństwo, kobieta była na 11
koncertach w Philadelphii i wiedziała o Stonesach wszytko. 2
piosenki podobno zagrali w Phili pierwszy raz...Live with me i
CYHMK(0d 1978?).Domka miała notatnik i sporo notowała:
swoje odczucia, wygląd Stonesów,wyglad sceny itp., ciekawostki
dotyczące kolejnych utworów. Na poczatku grali Pretenders,
potem było 30 min. przerwy na przygotowanie sceny. Najbardziej ją
wkurzyło, że oczywiscie wtedy wszyscy Amerykanie musieli wyjść
na jakis fast food.... W ogóle w trakcie koncertu sporo osób koło
niej przechodziło, bo siedziała na końcu rzedu przy schodach,
a w korytarzy był Fast Food bar...I to było wkurzające, bo
wytrącało cię to z transu. Jej koleżanka wypstrykała cały
film - siedziała jeszcze bliźej ale z boku sceny. Jej sąsiedzi
z miejsc powiedzieli ze to był NAJLEPSZY ''ever'' w Philadelphi...
3. Zrobiło się kompletnie ciemno i ludzie zaczęli się drzeć,
wrzeszczeć niesamowicie, zapanował tumult nie do opisania, a
wszytko w ciemnosći...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Niesamowity był
jeden motyw. Bardzo duźo ludzi miało na rękach takie małe
migające jęzorki , które moźna było kupić. Kiedy zapadła
ciemnosć i wszyscy zaczeli się drzeć - to wszytkie te jęzorki
zaczeły mrugać - widok niesamowity....I nagle w swietle
reflektora pojawił się Keith: Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta taaaaaa
ta ta ta ....STREET FIGHTING MAN !!!! Dominika w płacz...
Zobaczyła Keitha - goscia , który...z resztą nie musze tego
pisać. Po prostu gościa który stanowi ogromną częśc mojego
życia... Cały koncert z małymi wyjatkami cała hala stała. Ze
Stonesów EMANUJE NIEWYTŁUMACZALNA I TRUDNA DO OPISANIA ENERGIA.
ENERGIA KTÓRA PRZECHODZI NA WSZYSTKICH WIDZÓW. Jak oni się
ruszają... Dominika mówi: Ja nie chciałabym byc w ich formie
jak będę miała 60 lat. Ja chciałabym być w ich formie TERAZ.
Oni chyba nic nie jedzą :-) ! Moja siostra ma figurkę ''niczego
sobie'' ale dziewczyny zawsze mają jakies ''ale'' do swego
wygladu...I ona wali tekst:chciałabym być szczupła jak oni!
4. Wygląd sceny - jest bardzo prosta, źadnych bajerów, żadnych
dmuchanych lalek, żadnej ''fabryki'', po prostu scena, ekran,
czasami tęczowe jęzory po bokach, jakies barwne szarfy...moźe
na zdjęciach bedzie to widać. B- stage była na samym środki
sali, kiedy przechodzili tam to Keith - ''diabełek''(jak go
Dominika zawsze pieszczotliwie nazywała :-) jak zwykle szedł
ostatni i przybijał piątki z fanami, którzy ''ciągneli go za
ręce''.....
5. Dominika nie znała tytułów niektórych kawałków (podkreślam
po raz drugi - ona nie była żadnym tam wielkim fanem.. po
prostu lubiła Stonesów i tyle.....Nie znała np ''Beast of
Burden''...ale małzeństwo obok pomagało jej: ''On B-stage they
played the first and the last but one song from SOME GIRLS''...
faktycznie.Oto luźne zapiski do niektórych piosenek: IORR - po
tym Mick zdjął wiśniowa kurtkę. CYHMK - Mick z kastanietami,
długie solówy, SATISFACTION - Mick zielony podkoszulek..''jak
on się rusza!!!" ''....MISS YOU- wspaniale było jak
WSZYSCY zaczęli śpiewać za Mickiem ''uu uu uuu, uu uu
uuuuuu''. START ME UP- ''Ameryka się ruszyła''...ludzi ogarnął
amok , wszyscy zaczeli tańczyć...CAN"T TURN YOU LOOSE -
Keith ponoć w białym kapeluszu (!!!)...HTW - na końcu weszły
dęciaki, teledysk z laską na jęzorze...nawet sąsiędzi
Amerykanie powiedzieli: ''very dirty''. W trakcie kawałków z
Let it Bleed na ekranie była okładka płyty. BEAST OF BURDEN -
Mick złapał coś rzuconego przez jakiegoś fana...BROWN SUGAR-
I say yeah,yeah,yeah uuuuu i cała hala ręce w górze!!!
SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL - Mick się przebiegł na B-stage i z
powrotem...
23.25. Mick mówi ''Good Night''...Stonesi znikają, znów ciemność,
wrzaski, migające jęzorki i oczekiwanie.......ta taaaa tatata
tatata ...ta taaaaa .....JJFLASH.......znowu oczywiście płacz....''tak
bardzo chciałam żeby to się nigdy nie skończyło''...Ukłony...długie
standing ovation....
6. Dominika twierdzi że całość była po prostu: ZAJEBISTA,
NIEPRAWDOPODOBNA, ''NIE DO OBJĘCIA SŁOWAMI''. ''W pewnej chwili
to juź nie wiedziałam w co jest trudniej uwierzyć. Czy w to ze
ja tu jestem, czy w to że są tu Stonesi. Obserwując zespół
raczej byłam skupiona na Keithie. Łukasz, on kopiuje twoje
wszystkie ruchy!!! (czy moźe być lepszy komplement? - Łuki).
Po za tym gość -(nie sądziłam że to kiedyś powiem :-)
cholernie przystojny...Czym bliżej do końca koncertu tym
bardziej chciałam żeby ta magia trwała w nieskończonosć...Pod
wzgledem dzwięku, brzmienia, głośnosci, aranżacji wszytko było
ABSOLUTNIE PERFEKCYJNE. Żadnej fałszywej ćwierćnutki,żadnej
setnej sekundy dysharmonii, wszystko. Wszystko było tak
NIESAMOWICIE ''KRĘCĄCE". Podczas wielu poczatków utworów
najzwyczajniej zaczynałam PŁAKAĆ ze wzruszenia. To było PIĘKNE.
Najczęściej podczas tych które razem gralismy (ona klawisze,
ja - gitara) i śpiewaliśmy w domu. GiMMIE SHELTER, START ME UP,
HTW, BROWN SUGAR, ukochane TD,JJF....My gdzieś w odległej
Polsce, w naszej małej wioseczce graliśmy to sobie w domu, słuchaliśmy
(ona przez ścianę hehehe...albo dzrzwi ) tych wszystkich kawałków
z tysiąc razy , a ja jestem teraz w jednym z najbardziej znanych
mieście w Stanach, 20 metrów od blisko 60-cioletnich Micka i
Keefa(którzy wyglądają ciągle na 20 latków) i słucham
tego na żywo.....Brak słów...
I na koniec powiedziała jeszcze raz : TO BYŁY DWIE NAJPIĘKNIEJSZE
GODZINY W MOIM ŻYCIU. DZIEKUJĘ THE ROLLING STONES..ale przede
wszytkim dziękuję Tobie (czyli mi..-Łuki...hmm..hmm...przełknąłem
aż ślinę i oczy mi zwilgotniały)
PS: No, to przynajmniej jedną duszyczkę sprowadziłem na ''dobrą
drogę'', hehehe.
PS II: THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU LORD - FOR THE ROLLING STONES!!!!
Łukasz Bińkowski (Stonesoholik od 1998)
A oto najnowsza relacja, jaką przesłał PIOTR z koncertu z Pragi.
No dobra... to trochę o koncercie w Pradze: Przyjechaliśmy po 6 pociągiem do Pragii i poszliśmy do hostelu, zostawiając tam bagaże. Potem pod Letną, gdzie miał się odbyć koncert. Tam się trochę naczekaliśmy, bo aż do 15, kiedy otwarli bramki na wejście. Cholernie gorąco, 40 stopni w cieniu, wszędzie bęmbnią Stonesi, z każdego wozu, na ulicach wiara puszcza B2B, cała dzielnica zamknięta, od cholery policji, ochrony, sił prewencji, wszystkiego. Każda, dosłownie każda lampa przyozdobiona w sprorych rozmiarów flagę z jęzorem, wszędzie wiszą ogromne plakaty z jęzorami i napisem LET YOU ROCK'n'ROLL OUT! Wszędzie billboarby promujące koncert, tysiące ludzi, wszyscy w koszulkach Stonesów. Scena wielka jak blok mieszkalny. Kolos. Przyozdobiony kilkunastometrową flagą z jęzorem!!! Otwierają bramki, biegnę i nadzieram się. Jakiś ochroniarz biegnie za mną, by mnie cofnąć, bo bięgne za szybko, odwracam się, krzyczę mu w twarz ROLLING FUCKING STONES i ile sił uciekam gościowi. Pod małą scenę, jestem, przy samej barierce. Czekanie. Puszczają jakąś muzykę, idę po coś do picia, upał jest nieznośny, ale to czekanie jest wręcz słodkie, ma swój klimat, uwielbiam go. Wyskakuje koleś z T-mobile, mówi że zrobi mi fotkę, to ja poza Jaggerowska i cyk. Potem pomiędzy supportami wiele takich fotek pokazywali na dwóch bocznych małym telebimach, któe podczas Stonesów były wyłączone. Pierwszy support - Brainstorm, niby odkryty przed Dylana. Po 4 piosenkach wokalista pyta jak się czujemy, odpowiadamy chóralnym śpiewem: "leave the stage!"...piąta piosenka, gość biegnie z dużej sceny na małą. Wszędzie dłonie pokazujące mu środkowy palec. Schodzą. Skończyli. Godziny czekania. Drugi support. Olympic. Stary czeski dziadek. Nawet nieźle gra, ale nic nie rozumiem. Okey. Jest już ciemno. Wiara krzyczy Rolling Stones, ROLLING STONES. Cisza i ciemność. 22.00. Nadciąga burza, z każdej strony błyskawice, takie rasowe zygzaki. Desz, ulewa. Jesteśmy cali mokrzy. Ale zaraz wyjdą Stonesi. Wychodzi gość, zapowiada Havla. W pełnym deszczu wychodzi Havel. Gada dość długo o obaleniu komunizmu i o tym jaką rolę odegrali w tym Stonesi. W momencie gdy wypowiada "kapela The Rolling Stones", tysiące ludzi szaleje. Wszystko ciemnieje. Rozlega się muzyka - intro. BANG! Deszcz świateł, a krople z nieba przestają padać. Słychać riff do Brown Sugar. Jest Mick, są wszyscy Stonesi. Jak pięknie grają. Amok. Totalnie straciłem poczucie rzeczywistości. Kolejne Start Me Up, You Got Me Rocking i Don't Stop spowodowały, że byłem gdzieś w jakieś przeszczeni kosmicznej. Podczas DS Ronnie nieżle jedzie solówki, makera pokazuje widok z jego gitary podczas solówek, super. Keith używa innej gitary niż wcześniej do Don't Stop. Całą trasę używał żółtego Startocastera, teraz ma czarnego, takiego jak do TUmbling Dice. Nagłośnienie jest super. Słychać dosłownie wszystko. Każdy instrument. WIld Horses. Wszyscy śpiewają. You Can't Always Get What You Want. Ronnie gra solówkę ala rok 1975. Długą i pełną. Robią fajną rzecz....taką wstawkę gdzie Mick śpiewa z widownią, a temu przygrywa delikatnie gitara, bass i pianino. Ja pierd....ale jamm. Potem Keith zaczyna Midnight Rambler. Dwa akordy i przechodzi w Tumbling Dice, po czym nagle urywa. Mick robi uwagę w stylu: 'hahahaha' do Keitha, ten się wkurza idzie do Charliego, ale pomylił się, macha więc ręką jakby mówił "każdemu się może przytrafić", na co widownia odpowiada aplauzem. Sympathy For The Devil. Pełno ognia. Podczas refrenu z wież bocznych zieje na wysokość kilkunastu(!!!) metrów ogień, aż krople potu spływają po mnie. Co za widowisko. Dwie zarąbiste solówki Keitha. Pod koniec lekka pomyłką, ale wybrnęli z tego bardzo spontanicznie, wkładając taką wstawkę gdzie Mick i widownia śpiewa 'uuu' 'uuu' a temu przygrywa Charlie i Ronnie. Zarąbiste, grają z 3 minuty dłużej przez to Sympathy niż zwykle. Teraz Keith. Mick przedstawił zespół. Keith mówi, że this is special night, so I should do something special. Ale ma czarnego Gibsona w ręce, takiego jak do Slippin Away...ale..."this is Nearness Of You'. JA PIERNICZE. W TYM MOMENCIE NIE BYŁEM NA ZIEMI. BYŁEM GDZIEŚ WYPIEPRZONY W PRÓŻNIE NIE WIEM GDZIE! To było tak piękne, że gość obok spytał czy nie chcę chusteczki, ja myślę o co mu chodzi, dotykam policzków a jestem cały mokry, łzy same mi lecą, kurczę, to jest zbyt piękne by to opisać. I co lepsze, chyba jako jedyny na tym pieprzonym koncercie śpiewałem to z Keithem, bo znałem tekst. Potem Happy. Ronnie gra na pedal steel i siedzi na krzesełku. Keith podchodzi do niego. Ronnie jak on piękne gra ten slide. No super. No i kończą, Keith rzuca :"bless you, one love, one love" i w tym momencie Charlie zaczyna bębnić od nowa, Keith się podłącza, Ronnie i reszta i jadą jeszcze RAZ HAPPY PRZEZ JAKIEŚ 2 minuty! Kurczę, ale Keith ma głoś...!!! TAKI JAK NIGDY WCZEŚNIEJ! CIEPŁY I GŁĘBOKI!!! Podczas Nearness stracił lekko kontrole nad głosem i uśmiechnął się nieśmiale....jak wszyscy zaczeli klaskać, o kurcze!!!! Potem Tumbling Dice. Tańczę. Sam, nie kontroluje tego. Klasyczna solówka Ronniego.Woody jest w super formie. Idą na małą scenę. SZOK SZOK SZOK! Co prawda dźwięk gorszy, ale co z tego, ile masz cholera okazji aby zobaczyć RS w odległości metra. Widzę wszystkie zmarszczki, tych gości. Nadzieram się Keith, Mick, Ronnie. Grają Neighbours. Super. Dwie solówy Keitha i jedna Ronniego. Zarąbiste. Co za numer! Potem Little Red Rooster. Super slide od Ronniego. No i wtedy. Krzyczę Keith I LOVE YOU BROTHER, ten podchodzi do mnie, podnosi głowę, patrzy mi proto w gały, ciary przechodzą mi po plecach, prawie mdleję, patrzę na niego, a ten odpieprza Street Fighting Man. Szok, szok!!! I jak oni to grają. Grali z 2 minuty dłużej, bo pod koniec Keef zaczął riffować 2 razy szybciej. I szybciej i jeszcze! Ja piernicze, zrobił się z tego punk! Tak jak w 1976 na Down And Out In Paris 1976!!! Zarąbiste! No a potem Gimme Shelter. Po raz pierwszy raz widzę Ronniego grające w Shelter na żółtym Stratocasterze, zawsze grął na Telecasterze. Lisa śpiewa zarąbiście. CZŁOWIEKU! ALE ONI WYMYŚLILI ŻE JAK ZACZYNA SIĘ GIMME SHELTER to zupełnie inaczej, zupełnie! Potem już leciały same hity IORR, Jumping Jack Flash i Satisfaction, podczas tego ostatniego Keith i Ronnie grali na gitarach któe dostali od kolesia z ZZ TOP one mają na gryfie dedykacje - for Keef Riff Hard i for Wah Wah Woody. Jak wyszedłem to kupiłem plakaty, zdarłem rozkład jazdy jak jeździć po mieście w czasie koncertu(!!!) i poza tym byłem rozwalony. Kopara obijała mi się o ziemię. SZOK! Dopiero teraz potrafię napisać coś konkretnego. Doskonałość. Nigdy wczęśniej Stonesi nie grali TAK DOBRZE. Nigdy. Chorzów, bardzo mi przykro, ale wymięka. Dla mnie ten koncert bije to w 1998 na głowę. I każdy inny z lat '90. Oni wszystko już dopracowali do takiej perfekcji. Jezu!!!! A jutro do Holandii na 5 koncertów(na 4 mamy bilety, ale na jeden załatwimy chyba od konika). K...to jest niemożliwy rok 2003!!! Niemożliwy!!! A 20 sierpnia holenderska telewizja i radio transimotować będą na żywo koncert z Amsterdamu na którym będe!!!! Do zobaczenia!!!! Piotr
A oto co mi przesłał PIOTR z Holandii.
Hej! Przywitałem się z Darrylem, Ronniem(i mam od niego autograf) i Keithem. I to takie wrażenie że zsunąłem się z nóg na kolana.

recenzja: Alright. I'm sitting near the Central
Railway Station and writting my review. We arrived to Rotterdam
yesterday after 16 hours of travel and than just fixed tickets
with Eric, who is great guy, I'll tell you! We took a cab and
went to the stadium. Me and Lukasz were at the b-stage on
Ronnie's side.
Support band was much more better than in Prague. Reagge music
with funny siniger, doing everything to keep people singing and
dancing. It was fun. But it really doesn't m
atter when it comes to Rolling Stones.
The intro started playing when there was day light still. I've
seen them opening during when it was totally dark in Prague, but
it really isn't that bad when they open during day light.
Brown Sugar was absolutely awesome. Just few second before
they've opened I've seen Keith walking somewhere outside the
stage. The sound was perfect from the start. Mick was in great
shape, running all the way. Audience went nuts. I went wild like
an animal. Than Keith started You Got Me Rocking, which was
fantastic. Keef riffin' like mad. His solo was magnificent. Than
a little suprise with IORR so early in the show. It was fun.
Keith's solos were fucking-good. I was already blown away. After
third song!!! Don't Stop was tight. It seems Keith is playing
right now on different guitar on DS. He is using Tele the same as
he played Tumbling Dice only before. Before he played yellow
Tele, the classic one. Before the part "when I'm loosing you..."
Mick messed up, he was playing his guitar and forgot to sing it
in the right time, but fixed it up nicely. I was laughing. Funny.
Wild Horses were great. I don't know exacly, but has a feeling it
worked much more better than in Prague. Keith's acoustic guitar
had a great sound. Ronnie was feeling with his gently notes all
the time and played fantastic solo. Mick was in superb form.
Really getting into it. You Can't Awlays Get What You Want was
next, it got audience singing all the way. Great solo from
Ronnie, simply overhelming. He was great this night. It was funny
part when Mick wanted audience to sing some other lyrics with him
than 'you can't always...", but the audience sung it and he
smiled to the camera and made a face like saying :"nooo, not
this..." .
Than a BIG BIG SUPRISE. Light went down. I thought Midngith
Rambler...or CYHMK...but NO, fuck, it was PAINT IT BLACK. Classic
one. Better than in Chorzow, oh yeah it was. Keith's guitar was
playing so great and Ronnie was riffing with Keith. It was like
in sixties....absolutely overhelming. The highlight of this
concert. One of many, many, many. I was feeling like kicked out
to the different space!!!
Tumbling Dice worked well, nice solo from Ronnie.
During introductions, it was such a fun. These boys had exelnt
sense of humour. They were making jokes with Charlie. Mick put
his hat on Charlie, he looked like a farmer for a while,
hahahahaha!!!!!
Than Keith. I had this wish to hear Thru and Thru. And he played
it. I was overhelmed, it was great, fantastic, lovely. I put my
hand on my chest in the place were heart was during that song.
Never heard something like that. This guitar riff. I still hear
it. Keith's voice was great. At the end when Charlie comes in and
the song starts to rock, Charlie started it not in the right
moment, but Keith is GOD, he worked out this. Beautiful.
Happy was next. Great, fucking great slide from Ronnie, God! I
love this guy. Keith was absoluetly magnificent, fucking exelent,
singing like a teenager from one side and like a old rocker from
the other side. And the finished it and did the restart at the
end, like they did in PRague. LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY!!!! KEITH IS
GOD!
Sympathy was great, full of jams, by Keith and Ronnie. They did a
special part when the band was gently amming and Mick was playing
with an audience, which was singing uuuu to Mick. Overhelming.
Now rods to describe.
B-stage!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! We put a Polish flag on the barrers
with big red tongue, just like every Stone could see it...!!!!
GREAT SUPRISE! Startfucker! Funny mistake from Mick, he started
with "if I can..." stopped and went into "baby,
baby". It was great. Sound was exelent. Not like in Prague,
I was a bit scared that it could be like in Prague, but here it
was totally clear. Than Little Red Rooster. Nice slide notes from
Ronnie. Really great guy, he is!
Street Fighting Man was next and it was an anthem. KEith riffs
was outstanidng. He was all over the place, with his kicks,
throwing hands...oh GOD!!!! And he came to us, riffing in front
of people, I almost got heart attack. Mick went mad at the end,
totally crazy, screaming "yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!" and
dancing like a motherfucker, I mean he is 60 and he is running
from one side to the other like a teenager. NO! Even better than
a teenager. Ronnie added some nice notes. Really fantastic. I'm
so proud of you RONNIE!
Gimme Shelter was....no words to describe. Great riffs. I closed
my eyes. Felt like flying, felt absoluetly free, soul free!!!!
KATHARSIS! Lisa was outstanding. Than Start Me Up, suprise, so
late in the show. It rocked. It smoked on the stage. Double
burner, shit! Keith was awesome. Mick was running and he was
everywhere.
Honky Tonk Woman was great. Before the shows I was like abit
bored with HTW, but now...after hearing it again live, with new
fresh air inside it....I LOVE IT! Keith played great solo.
Relaxed and exelent. Than they rocked us with Satisfaction.
Different, because it wasn't an encore. It made everybody
rocking, dancing....screaming....JJF...as an encore. THEY WERE
FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People were screaming :'we
want more, we want more"......During JJF one of those red
papers going around stick into Mick's neck and it looked like
blood, I was scared for a while...it was only a paper.
OH WHAT A SHOW, WHAT A NIGHT, WHAT AN AUDIENCE. WHAT A BAND. FAN-FUCK-TASTIC!!!!!
Absoluetly awesome, totally overhelming, I'm blown away...can't
think like a human. I'm in outer space....
And tommorow...AGAIN!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!! OH MY GOD!!! Can't
believe it, really!!!!
So now...I would like to thank Eric - stonebeatle. I owe you som
uch that it is really impossible to count. I know - money are
money. But feeling and memories...this is something different.
And I owe you these. Because let's face it. It's all because of
YOU, ERIC! Thank you, I will remember it till the end of my life
and even LONGER!!!!
ROLLING STONES FOREVER THE BEST!!!!!

Jumping Jack FlashHere goes a review from yesterday's show.
Another night, second in Rotterdam and it was even better than on
Monday. Me and Lukasz didn't got the tickets before the concert,
we bought them for 100Euros for a field, you can say it's a screw-up,
but fuck it, it's what you are in Holland for, to see the Stones
and have fun.
Anyway, we were very close to the main stage on the Ronnie's side.
The support band was even better than in Monday. But it doesn't
matter when it came to Stones.
Brown Sugar was tight, sound was exelent, better than on Monday,
when we were standing at the b-stage. I haven't been so close to
main stage before, so it was just a treat to see the boys
performing there. You Got Me Rocking - Keith started this song by
missing one note, but everything else was perfect, I noticed that
Ronnie isn't adding so much slide to this song as he did during
No Securoty Tour for example. Keith was great, Mick on top with
his vocals. It's Only Rock'n'Roll was much more better than on
Monday, no mess, just magnificent solos from Keith, Mick made
everybody dancing, singing...I noticed that during this show he
was very often running on the catwalk, during many songs, it was
cool. Don't Stop was perfect, Ronnie's solos were great, I felt
like being free, I was free for that moment, totally, Mick vocals
were all great there. I love this song. After it I shouted
:"Keith don't ever stop playing your fucking guitar, please",
people around started looking at me like on madman, yeah I was
crazy
Angie was what I expected to hear, great acoustic guitars,
Keith's and Ronnie's mixing together, Mick suprised me with such
a great vocals. YCAGWYN was bloody awesome, again crowd was
really into it, singing along with Mick, what a feeling they've
caught during this song, Keith's riffs just send me to the outer
space, Ronnie played the best solo on this tour I think to
YCAGWYN. He smoked on stage, it was long and absolutely
overhelming solo from him. I was really deeply impressed. Instead
of Paint It Black we've got Midnight Rambler, fantastic jamm,
perfect harp from Mick, some fine Ronnie's tunes and Keith was
all over it with his 'tiger-riffs', Mick was dancing, rocking on
the stage, it was breathtaking to see this guy performing like
THAT! He had fun playing with audience with all these "yeah,
uuu, yeah, uuu"...I still hear it in my ears. Tumbling Dice
worked fine. Mick introduced the band, it seemed that boys are
having fun being together, Mick put mic to Charlie's face, but
Charlie looked shy on it and didn't say anything.
Keith's set was unbelievable. Nearness Of You was nice suprise,
it was magnificent, exelent performance, breathtaking and
straight from Keith's soul. I noticed that it was Ronnie helping
Keith song going on, because, you know, when KEith is singing he
so often just do not play on his guitar nowadays. Ronnie was
great, filling with nice, romantic tunes all the song. Lovely.
I've heard this in Prague, both versions were great, romantic.
After the song Keith said "something different, you know"I
was hoping to hear Before They Make Me Run and it was tonight.
Full power from Keith guitar, Ronnie's solos were great, song
worked exelent, it was just another perfect performance from
Keith - he's the MAN!!!!!!!! I was blown away. Dancing, singing
during the show and I noticed that people around are even making
me some space for myself, to dance...it was fun.
Sympathy was also great, I think that it was even better than on
Monday. This fire from the stage is making such a great view on
the audience, it looks amazing, I tell ya! Great Keith's solos,
I've hear Ronnie adding some good tunes and also great part when
only drums go on and the crowd is singing 'uuu, uuu' and than
they come back to the main part, this is something really new,
something they do since Euro shows. Great. B-stage was great.
Neighbours sounded great, they've played this in PRague I was
just at the b-stage, but sound wasn't the best, I couldn't hear
guitar's. Yesterday it was perfect. All these solos from
Keef'n'Ron...pure rock'n'roll, pure energy coming out of these
guys and leting my rock'n'roll out! Mannish Boy was one of my
wish to hear, old blues, I always loved it, so when they've
started I was so fucking happy, so fucking, ya know, fantastic
Keith's blues riffs, classic, Ronnie's slide was on top this
night, Woody is in absolutely fantastic form, guys! Street
Fighitn Man was an anthem. Those riffs. I was blown away one more
time. Couldn't believe my eyes, what these guys are doing, Keith
was all over the b-stage, Ronnie was adding nice notes to the
song and Mick was dancing like mad at the end he went nuts, it
was such a treat to watch him, breathtaking experience!!!! Gimme
Shelter was another great performace. Lisa was fantastic. I like
this kind of into to GS, they do it only in stadiums, sounds fine
to me.Honky Tonk Women was I think the best version I've ever
heard, wah ta feeling, Keith was absolutely magnificent,
overhelming, solo from him was such a great thing, I couldn't
believe that it was even better than 2 days ago!!! Start Me Up
rocked on the stage. Ronnie's solo was great, Keith was riffing
so hard, he was doing some great job there, adding some fine
riffs to it and the way he moves, his kicks, throwing hands, arms....unbelievable!
Satisfaction I think worked better than on Monday, mainly because
at the end Mick was singing better with the backing vocals.
During JJF which was a fanatstic one bloody piece from Keith,
fanfuckingtastic performance, they really smoked stage!!!! Mick
run from main to b-stage, making sure everybody is on their feet!!!
I was exhausted, but got I think the happiest guy in the world
after this concert, never heard something like that. On Monday
we've got Paint It Black which was bloody awesome ands Star Star
which was overhelming. And also Wild Horses. It was a bit
different yesterday and it was great. I love these guys. I still
have problems with expressing myself here, I know my review is
such a mess, but I'm still ob Stones booze !!!!!!!!!! Tommorow -
we attack AHOY!!!!

Sounds impossible to
write review from last show. I still hear it in my head. Nothing
can be compare to this show. Simply, it was the best show I've
ever attended and one of the best Stones show during this tour.
Sound was exelent, the best from 3 shows in Rotterdam. I knew it
when support, reggea band was playing. And I was getting hotter
and hotter for Stones. And than lights turned off....intro music...BANG!
Keith opened with Street Fighting Man, from his first note of
this anthem riff, I knew this will be special night. He was
riffing all the way, our seats were at the tribune, but in front
of the stage, I mean in the center, great view. The arena was
really small, I'll tell ya, it was even club-ish! Ronnie was
playing very good, CHarlie drums were beating hard and clear,
Mick was on top. I've noticed that Keith was playing on orange-black
Tele, as he used to play only Tumbling Dice with it and now he is
using it also for JJF and Don't Stop!
Next - it was Start Me Up and it really rocked the Ahoy!
Everybody on their feet, dancing, singing. Ronnie played great
solo.
Than I knew, it will be If You Can't Rock Me, I was really
wishing I will hear it. Ronnie's wah wah was overhelming, playing
it hard and solo was outstanding! They did this part with guitars
playing in the back and Darryl playing bass in the front, fucking
fantastic it was, perfect! Without any mistake, just magnificent
version. What a night. DOn't Stop was the best version of those 3
shows in this city. No mistakes from Mick this time During solo,
Ronnie (he was doing it also in De Kuip shows) put his guitar on
his shoulder and he was playing solo, fantastic and how he was.
Keith's guitar was all over it! Great! Mick was doing his vocals
very well, dancing all the time, playing his guitar nicely.
Than, a big suprise I wasn't really expecting - Monkey Man.
Opening riffs from Keith'n'Ronnie were great, but Mick missed
first line, he was dancing on the right side of the stage and
didn't make it for the microphone, it was funny! After it,
everything worked great. Ronnie's slide solo was simply exelent.
Keith was playing his 'tiger notes' all over it. Absolutely
unbelievable!!!!
And than Exile On Main Street front artwork appeared on the video
screen. Oh...Exile night today, what's more do you need! WOWOWOW!
And...Sweet Virginia. Oh God, Oh My God, it was so good, the
guitars all over it, it was electric version with Mick playing
acoustic for the rythm. His opening with harp was overhelming, he
is so good harp player! It was just a superb treat for me....!!!!!
And than, even better, Loving Cup, fuck, I almost started crying,
it was beautiful, I dare to say THE BEST VESRION FROM WHOLE THIS
TOUR. Unbelievable, I couldn't believe I'm really there, stanidng
and looking on him, it was hard to believe that I ain't watching
any good videos, but I'm watching it REAL!!!! Mick was using
acoustic guitar, perfect vocals, this guy is even better than on
previous tours. He in the best form. Like the other.
Next, from Exile, Rocks Off, everybody was dancing, ROCK'n'ROLL!!!
Great version. Keith was all over it with his riffs, he is always
all over everything. Mick was dancing better than a teenager. It
was some kind of faster version! Outstanind, no words....Tumbling
Dice was also great. Exelent solo from Ronnie, he didn't missed
any note from any song this night. And the 'roll me' part was
really, really long, they were playing and playing, Mick was
running from one side to the other, kept everybody clapping. And
than he did even some fallsetto vocals. What a treat, what a
treat, guys!!! Introductions. Happy Birhtday to Tim Rice, it was
his birthday. So we sung it with Mick to him! And than....Keith's
set...what to say, I was praying for Slipping Away and God, I
think heard me...and God is Keith, Keith is God!!!! Slipping
Away, it was so moving, touching, so romantic, lovely, I couldn't
stop it, I couldn't, believ me, I was crying thru the song. Keith
was stanidng, holding his guitar in the hand, not playing it and
singing. Ronnie was filling with his riffs the song, what a
interaction betweetn both of these guys! Than for the solo, Keith
started playing his guitar again. No...no...YES I WAS THERE I'VE
SEEN IT BY MY FUCKING, MY EYES!
Before They Make Me Run. Singing all along, Ronnie was
outstanding with his superb solo, Keith was....fuck, no words to
describe. Just unbelievable. I think it was even better than on
De Kuip 13th August!
After Keith's set Mick come back in sunglasses, white coat and
black hat and it was Love Train. When I've heard it for the first
time on this tour from the bootleg, it was Fleet Center, opening
show I thought that it can be, than I was getting a bit tired of
it. But when they played it last night, I simply knew it it was
just simply fun! It kept me dancing! All time. And after it, Mick
said :'alright"....and it was the encore of Love Train...WOW!
Something really special!!!!!
And than...my Big wish...BIG WHISH IW AS PRAYING TO HEAR IT...yeah...CYHMK....the
opening riffs from Keith were tiger ones, just simply reocking
the whole arena, I was in heaven. Everything was outstanidn and
it's impossible to describe. Bobby Keys sax solo - overhelming
and than Mick came in for harp solo and he played so long and so
good, trying even some new ways of playing it, it was absolutely
magnificent!!!!!! Than he put harp somewhere, made sure everybody
is clapping and he pointed Ronnie....Ronnie played different
guitar - the one he got from ZZ Top guy. And he was outstanding.
He played it so fucking good, it was exelent! He just smoked on
stage, just put the best solo I've ever heard of CYHMK, from the
bootleg, video ,everything. He was doing this new way of playing
it, can't decribe it, but fuck he played it so long and so good
and now the question is WHO THE FUCK IS MICK TAYLOR. He was no
one yesterday. It was Ronnie Wood guy. I know, that you expect
alot from Ronnie during CYHMK, so I, but I couldn't expect
anything like it, because it was impossible to imagine I could
hear it and even more...they finished this song in the different
way, because of Ronnie playing it a bit different at the end. No
words. No words, guys. Breathtaking. My mouth were wide open. It
was the histrical moment in music. Honky Tonk Woman - th best
version I've ever heard live. Better than in Poland 1998, better
than in PRague 2003 and better than the other nights at De Kuip -
11th and 13th!!! And than b-stage. Great, catlwalk wasn't that
long as always, because the Ahoy arena in so small, so they were
just in front of us, I could see them so good and hear them so
well. First I saw Mick with guitar, I thought Miss You, but they
played, whata treat and suprise...WHEN THE WHIP COMES DOWN!!!! OH
FUCK! WOW! It was absolutely great. Keith's guitar riffing hard,
nice solo from him, Ronnie was doing some kinf of really fast,
punk riffs to it and Mick was on top. Charlie as Charlie, he is
always at his best. Than it's Only Rock'n'Roll. Keith playing his
solo in front of us. GOD! He was SO FUCKING GOOD THAT NIGHT, SO
FUCKING EXELENT! And Mick, he kept everybody on their feet,
singing, clapping, dancing. JUST LETTING THEY ROCK'n'ROLL OUT!!!!!
Brown Sugar as the end of the b-stage set. Great. Everyone
singing "I see yeah,yeah, uuuu", great to hear all
these people doing it in arena. I love watching Keith on it.
Doing all his moves while he was riffing. Outstanding....than
Stones took a bow and went starihgt to the crowd. After a while...it
was funny to see people leaving arena between BS and JJF.......after
while....this riff, Keith on stage...the encore! The last song of
the night, tons of papers going around,I was collecting load of
them after a concert, what a great version. Keith...like Keith...he
was really into it. I could hear all this nice stuff from Ronnie
on it and Mick was awesome!!!!!! I WAS ON MY KNEES WHEN THEY'VE
FINISHED IT....couldn;t believe I really was hear. I need someone
to make me sure that I REALLY WAS FUCKING HERE!!!!!!!!
If you weren't there...you missed probably their best arena show
this tour!!!!!

satisfaction (encore) We waited for fucking 14 hours, but it was
cool. There were some people playing the guitar and drinking
beers. Actually, the guitar player from the opening band was
having some fun with us too. He wanted to check things out as he
told me that he was so fucking amazed that he was opening for the
stones. Man did that guy look like Brian Jones or what??? Some
people I met during other shows left early because they couldn't
take it anymore. They were too tired after waiting for the ahoy
and now for Vredenburg, but me and my friend pulled on through.
There were to many people in front of Vredenburg in the morning
and I already knew they would not get a ticket. We all had
numbers and I already had number 79. Their were some exciting
moments as some people tried to get in before others who had
numbers. I swear that I was ready to really knock some of them
down if they got a ticket and I didn't. So I was just very happy
that in the end the right people got the tickets. I was so
pleased to get a ticket that I was almost crying. This was going
to be a fucking great show. I went home to take a shower and ate
some decent food and drove back straight away. At 7 o' clock they
opened the doors and I already knew that everybody would get a
great seat, because there are no bad seats in Vredenburg. The
room looks so nice and the acoustics are fantastic. The opening
band were on stage very soon. I thought they gave all they got
and I was pleased. That guitar player looked like Brian Jones so
much as I've said before. While they played, Keith was watching
them from the back and I bet he thought the same thing. They
played a 45 minutes set and then went of stage. It took another
hour before the Stones were introduced. There was so much energy
in the crowd, even more then in previous Dutch shows, so I knew
the crowd was up for it once again. They did a tight version of
Jumpin' Jack Flash, and man it was an opener allright. Wow, what
an energy. Is the roof going to hold? Live with me was stunning,
but then they played Hand of Fate. I almost lost it, while they
played this one. I only dreamed about this and in reality it was
even more beautiful. The crowd went nuts. No Expectations was so
peacefull with wonderfull playing from Ronnie. No need to say
more about this lovely song. We all knew Mick is a cool guy, but
he was never as cool as in tonight's version of Worried about You.
Keith was playing some beautiful riffs on this one. Then a
surprise, Saint of Me. Nice to hear this tune again. Great
singing along as Mick played with the crowd again. It's Only Rock
And Roll was very tight and you know what happens when they play
this song. Dance was unreal, so fucking cool. Great riffing from
Keith and Ronnie and Mick gave everything. Everybody Needs
Somebody To Love was just a great intro for the very best live
performance I've ever seen from Mick. That's How Strong My love
is was unreal, beautiful, fanfuckingtastic and HEAVEN!!! Never in
my sweet short live did I see something like this. Mick Jagger,
the greatest frontman in history of Rock N' Roll, gave us his
very best tonight. I thought this never ended. The crowd went
completely wild!!! Going To A Gogo! Yes that's all I'm going to
tell you about this one, because I'm still taking my breath here.
Keith did a lovely version of Thief In The Night. My friend was
smoking a joint, I had a beer and we loved it. Keith just held
his guitar but he was not playing it. He was just singing to the
crowd. Keith made me happy when he and Ronnie gave us fantastic
riffs during happy. Ronnie on fire! They did a double ending on I
Can't Turn You Loose. The crowd was so loud. Can't You Hear Me
Knocking. Bobby and Mick both gave great solo's on sax and harp
but this was only untill Ronnie started his solo. Ronnie was all
over the crowd as he was riffing his ass off. Keith was just
laughing toward Ronnie, he loved it as much as we did. Ronnie
played tight and this solo will never be forgotten. In Holland
Mick is the one who really gets pleased during Start Me Up. The
crowd seemes to sing louder and louder every time. You can see
the amazement in Mick's eyes. Somehow the Dutch crowd loves this
song. Tonight they stones reminded me how great Tumbling Dice
really is. That rythem guitar from Keith, the lyrics and the
whole feeling is just nothing more then pure Rock N' Roll. Thank
you so much! A mess up during the intro of Brown Sugar, but man,
what an energy!!! Satisfaction was once again a pleaser as the
Stones played their final chords in Vredenburg last night. This
song never seems to bore me. It's just full of excitement. The
crowd was screaming, yelling and moving as the stones took a
great bow. They love the Dutch crowd and the Dutch crowd loves
the Stones. Energy and Rock N' Roll were key words. Me and my
friend didn't talk afterwards. There was no need to talk about
anything as we both reached heaven's door

Alright. Here goes my review.
It will be different. First of all. Don't blame Keith. It wasn't
his mistake during the intro of Brown Sugar. Do you think this
guy could screwed-up something like that. During intro music he
was doing something with his amp. When he came on stage, the
sound was turned off. Totally. I've seen him playing, but
couldn't hear anything. He started playing anything and that they
turned sound on and there he was - playing some scratchy riffs
and as fast as possible turned it into Brown Sugar riff.
I was FOS. At the catlwalk. I've heard all opinions about the
sound in the ArenA. It was the best sound I've ever heard. I've
heard everything, perfect in the mix, even Mick's guitar on Don't
Stop and Saint Of Me.
When they played Don't Stop as a third song I knew something
special will be tonight. This version was very good. Ronnie was
awesome. His guitar-camera wasn't working. Mick was playing his
guitar like mad. During Ronnie's solo, he put his guitar on his
shooulders. Cool trick!
Than Rocks Off. THE BEST VERSION I EVER HEARD. Fucking
unbelievable. Guitars clearly in the mix, Mick was perfect! The
slow part was exelent. Any mistakes, just perfect, not to note.
No words...than Wild Horses. Ronnie did some really good job on
this one.
You Can't Always Get What You Want was the best VERSION I EVER
HEARD LIVE. Never heard such a solo from Ronnie. It was even
better than in 1975. He was playing and playing and keep going,
my mouth were widely opened. Couldn't believe. He was in top form.
The best night from Ronnie, the best YCAGWYW. No words, no words.
Mick was walking trhu catwalk, not even 1 metre from ME!!!!!! I
couldn't believe my eyes!!!!
Than Mick took the guitar, somehow I knew it will be Saint Of Me.
I'll tell you something. If you take the best version from
previus tour and compare it to this one...well that was the best
I've ever heard and I heard many. Because of....RONNIE WOOD! He
played such a fucking bloody piece of solo! WOW! Mick missed the
line after Ronnie's solo so he showed to Ronnie :'keep going' and
there he was, playing some extra notes. He was hot this night. I
won't ever foget him. Fucking unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keith's set was awesome. I tell you something. I could pay many
many Euros to hear such a Slipping Away. No other version is even
close to it. It was the best EVER! Keith was lovely, romantic,
straight from his heart! And than at the end he was adding some
new lyrics just straight from his soul and he was doing all these
poses. No...I would never expect anything like that. I was blown
away. I still can't believe it that it was real. IT WAS GORGEUS!!!!
And he said :"it good to be here, it's good to be anywhere"
and added: "I always say that, but it's true..." and it
was true. Before They Make Run was awesome. KEith's riffs all
over it and Ronnie's doing such a beautiful work on it!
Sympathy For The Devil had fire! I thought that they won't use it
in ArenA Amsterdam, but it was, suprised me. Great version and
fantastic Keith's solos. The audience loud, screaming :'whooo,
whooo", great thing. And than they were walking to b-stage.
No...I won't forget it....I wad oing everything to catch Keith...and
he was walking straight to me...I missed his hands...one
centemtre or so...I thought fuck...but he looked on me like:"I'll
remember you, boy"...than Charlie looked on me, I was blown
away...Charlie was loooking at me. And listen to that...They are
walking from the b-stage to main stage. Darryl Jones - YEAH I
shaked hand with him....than it comes Ronnie and
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!!!! FUCK IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
He shaked hand with ME! I was in HEAVEN!!!! ROCK'n'ROLL HEAVEN....and
I thought gimme Keith's hand and I will be able to die with a
smile on my face I will forget that.And Keith's comes in.
Shaking hands with people on the other side. He is CLOSE to me
and on the pipe now, almost falling on the other side, my hand is
so far away...so close to Keith...and he turns back he see me...and
he walk my way and I'm thinking: PLEASE KEITH DO IT, DO IT!!! DO
IT..." I'm amost falling down...and FUCK....OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HERE IT IS!!!! KEITH IS SHAKING HAND WITH ME
hE'S DOING IT....just few second, but I almost lost myself...I
mean I couln't breath for few seconds, my heart was beating so
loud and fast....I still can't believe it! I TOCUHED MAN, I
TOUCHED HIS HAND. THIS HAND WHICH HE WAS USING WHEN HE WAS
WRITTING ALL THE SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE
HIGHLIGHT OF THIS TRIP TO HOLLAND! HIGHLIGHT! I wouldn't never
imagine that I will do it. I thought it jus ta dream, but this
night it was DREAM WHICH CAME TRUE!!!!!!!!!
I'm blessed now, I can die now, but I will be happy, I will die
with smile right on my face. During Gimme Shelter I couldn't
ofocus on the music. I know it was very good version but I was
till in shock, it was hard to stand on the ground for me.
So...what a bout b-stage set. Star Star again. Really great,
rock'n'roll version, HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG! And than some
blues licks....Mannish Boy, Little Red Rooster...now it was I
Just Want To Make Love To You! yeah, heard it for the first time!!!
It was great...
but here comes another highlight....Street Fighting Man...what a
version. THE BEST I've HEARD! So clear, Keith was all over it and
at the end he and Charlie started playing faster and faster at
such a speed, like in seventies!!! Ronnie's licks were great, I
love his guitar on it and he was also working hard on it....IT
WAS UNBELIEVABLE VERSION and the sound was pretty good. Not so
clear like from main stage(it was perfect from the main stage),
but pretty good!
Honky Tonk Woman...I love this song. I was bored with it when
tour started. But now I'm so into it. Dancing and singing. It's
rocking! LOVE IT! Great version! Satisfaction....what a version.
During Keith's solo...LORD RICHARDS was seating on the floor,
steating with his leg outside of the stage and he was playing it!
I was like he's sitting on starirs to his home and playing his
guitar for himself. CLASSIC MOMENT! Keith is Keith, he is down to
earth! Wow, won'r forget it!
JJF...I was thinking during this song that it's so good it's
still not the last JJF on this tour I'm going to hear. But it was
my last one....BUT I've got what I wanted and even more. I'm
happiest guy on earth!!!!
I TOUCHED THESE GUYS! RONNIE AND KEITH!!! Amsterdam ArenA 20.08.03
Koncert odwołany...:((((( The end of the sotry of my life :)

Hey
Wróciłem z Holandii - oj działo się działo - co tu dużó gadac - po prostu wyjazd mojego życia i tyle. Razem z Piotrkiem (największym pasjonatem RS na świecie jakiego znam) zobaczyliśmy Stonesów 4 razy (2xstadion Feyenordu, hala Ahoy w Rotterdamie, oraz Arena Amsterdam) , Zagrali wszystkie piosenki które sobie wymarzyliśmy a nawet te o których nawet nie śmieliśmy marzyć....W ogóle wszystko co tam się działo PRZEROSŁO wszytkie oczekiwania. W międzyczasie poznaliśmy wielu cudownych ludzi (uzaleźnionych od Stonesów oczywiście) z całego świata i to było najpiekniejsze bo znasz gości z internetu i teraz np jakaś kobitka po czterdziestce w koszulce RS do Ciebie podjeżdża i mówi: "Are you Lukas? I loveya baby!!! " itd heheheh. A jednak warto jest żyć ( a czasem w to wątpiłem hehehe) Najbardziej pamiętne momenty tzw highlights to: - 11/08 Spotkanie z Erikiem - gościem który załatwił nam te bilety - po prostu niesamowity klient, cudowna osoba - typowy Amerykanin w stylu Awright, Fantaaaastic...traktowaliśmy go jak naszego wujka - 13/08 2 koncert, 20 m od sceny, mój kumpel Piotrek, który po kawałku DONT STOP zaczął się drzeć jak oszalały: "KEEF I LOVEYA MAN!!!! NEVER STOP PLAYING YOUR FUCKIN GUITAR PLEASE!!!!! YOU ARE GOD!!!!!!! KEEF!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! ...trzeba było widziec miny osób stojących obok... - 14/08 - obiad na który zaprosiła nas znajoma ( o ksywce Rubycatgirl) z internetu - maniaczka z Holandii - po raz pierwszy siedziałem przy jednym stole z 6 gośćmi którzy ''wiedzą o co chodzi '' hehe.. i którzy na tekst w stylu: "Keith w 3 kawałku na początku opuścił jedna nutkę" nie popatrzą na mnie z politowaniem tylko przytakną: "no własnie też to zauważyłem!". zdjęcia tu: http://pub6.ezboard.com/fshidoobeewithstonesdougfrm15.showMessage?topicID=5768.topic 15/08 - koncert w hali dla 10 tys ludzi. Prawdopodobnie najpiękniejszy koncert mojego życia, Nie sadzę by dane mi było ich zobaczyc w tak małej hali jeszcze raz. No i to co zagrali...Sweet Virginia ( a graja to naprawde bardzo rzadko) - kawałek do którego mam szczególną słabość...i tak nie wyraże co to dla mnie znaczyło - po prostu rozpłakałem się jak dziecko....TO BYŁO PIĘKNE. 16/08 - koncert dla 2 tys ludzi w teatrze w Utrechcie - nie dostaliśmy biletów - ale i tak było wspaniale. Jakiś gość z lokalnego radia który zobaczył nasz transparent i że jestesmy z Polski - robił z nami wywiad hehehe - a na koniec chciał żebym opisał RS jednym zdaniem - no to ja : ROLLING STONES TO NAJWIĘKSZE ZJAWISKO W HISTORII LUDZKOŚCI - gośc spojrzał na mnie jak na jakiegoś wariata.....Podczas koncertu grałem na gitarze z 2 Holendrami dla ok 20 osób które śpiewały z nami kawałki RS!!! Dokładny opis i pełno zdjęć tu: http://pub6.ezboard.com/fshidoobeewithstonesdougfrm19.showMessage?topicID=2771.topic 18/08 Oficjalny meeting "nawiedzonych" z forum RS SHIDOOBEE - cudowna sprawa - znasz gości tylko z wpisów, widzisz ich pierwszy raz a gadasz jakbyście sie znali całe życie... 19/08 Ostatni koncert na stadionie ArenA w Amsterdamie - najpiękniejsze było jak Keith Richards podczas ostatniego kawałka usiadł sobie na krawędzi sceny i grał solówkę - przed nim jakies 80 tys luda a gość sobie siedzi i gra zupełnie tak jakby był w domu i grał na schodach.... No dobra, pewnie i tak nie przebrneliście przez to wszystko - sorki że tak przynudzam heheh... Trzymajcie się i niech duch Stonesów będzie z Wami Łukasz
