I attended on the European Tour 2007:
1) Werchter (where I first met Treff members other than Iris such as Steffi, Marianne, and Thomas), they got me an FOS wristband which I did not even have to wait for, stealthy Steffi succeeded in getting it to me
2) Neimegen (spelling?) (Arrived half way thru, fooled them with my same yellow wrist band from Werchter and got in free)
3) Frankfurt (3rd row, good show, bad sound, great fotos, met up with Iris and other Treff folks after show)
4) Paris (the most fun show of the tour dancing with Steffi, her mom, and her "ant", visited with the Argentinians, spilled beer on two people); best show thus far
5) Lyon (an even better show, bootlegged it and put it on CD complete with my fotos on cover)
6) Barcelona (a little crazy with the pushing up front, Stonesfrk Frank from IORR had crazy adventures of his own, we all had trouble getting an honest taxi after the show, Frank got robbed twice the next day)
7) Kopenhagen (not so great from the end of Keith's wing up in the stands (tier), complacent fans, they tried to get me to sit down and I screamed "this is a Rolling Stones concert, you dont SIT down!", then they left me alone; met Iris and Ruediger back at their hotel at about 230 am after they had walked all the way back from the stade and had an intense visit for 45 minutes or so
Lausanne - found Marianne and Tref gang (including Ed and Mrs. Ed) outside the stade gates, got interviewed by some local TV station whilst I waited (its online but I still havent seen it, anyone have the link?), Connie the Cutie from Munchen and I "attempted" to sing Salt of the Earth for the interviewer; had long, lazy pre party inside, lots of beer including the round I bought for the Tref house; too crowded on floor, but got reasonably close, then I moved over in front of the B stage during Keith's set, lot of people angry with me but they finally shut up and I got some good fotos; good show
9, 10, and 11 ) London I, London II, London III -- all great shows with II being the best Stones show I have seen in 32 years and 44 shows (up to that night); videotaped all 3 shows but not sure how they all came out; partied with IORR gang at the Pilot 2 nights (spilled Gazza's full beer right into Rockman's lap), with the StonesVikings at the Giles 1 night, and with the TREFgang 2 nights, was pleasantly surprised that Steffi, Marianne, and others made it after all of their talk about how they weren't going to London; also went to the "convention"/memorabilia show, Tim Ries show which I videotaped, and after the last gig on Sunday, went with Steff, Jurgens, and Corrina (anyone else?) went outside the Savoy and Simpson's where we saw: Daryl, Lisa, Chuck, M. Davis, Blondie, Bobby, Bill Wyman and daughters, Ronnie, and Mick. The question you are all asking yourselves is: where was Marianne, since she is such a specialist in making contact with the band?
OK, Marianne, now I have made my own list. Are you happy now ???!!! jus kiddin, LOL, whatever!
THE FRIGGIN PLEXIGLASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
