I'm a huge Stones fan too!!! I went to the Duke University Concert in Durham, NC last month. It was soooo frickin' awesome. I had the most amazing seats, Row 13 from the stage on the field/center and four seats over from the catwalk. I just couldn't believe I was sitting that close to them. The show was amazing; it is unbelieveable that they still have that much energy and can still perform like that at their age.

I guess my favorite Stones album is Aftermath , but there are so many that I LOVE it is really hard to say.

It is good to know that they is another fellow Stones fan on the Ledge! :blob2: :blob1: :blob2: :blob1:

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, but I love them - and one of my favorite songs of all time is Gimme Shelter...

I saw them twice on the Steel Wheels tour and once on the Voodoo Lounge tour. I intend to see them again when they swing this way in March. :nod:

I'm just a casual fan, but I saw them last Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl and they were amazing!! I want to see them again in March. :)

My favorite song of theirs is Tumbling Dice.

I am a true Stones fan....but I have not seen live them in over 6 years. Umm...hmmm... am I still a true fan? YES! Yes I am. I just am not a die hard fan. But I do listen to Forty Licks at least once a week!!

The last time I saw the Stones I was sitting in the section behind the stage....looking at their asses all night....probably the best part of them to look at......

I don't know what is wrong with me, maybe I am getting old, but I just don't go to concerts anymore....I have been to hundreds of FM/Stevie shows (literally hundreds!)....and alot of other concerts...but now I have no desire to go to a concert with drunk screaming fans and listen to really loud music.... :shrug: .....

Of course I go to a few Stevie/FM shows when they are on tour, but that is about it.....

Another Stones fan here..They played here in my town in Sept..85 thousand people at a huge outdoor venue.The stage was specially built for this show.There were 4 bands leading up to the Stones...I have to say I have always been a stones fan ,but not a die hard..But this time it was something special..as I was working the concert and got to actually be there the week leading up to the event and see all the work that goes into their shows..It was made even better as I got to be on stage and near them for the whole concert!!!! Even got to shake Mick's hand..whoo.hoo..It is unbelievable the entourage they travel with..and the equipment ...The dressing rooms were even unbelievable..they do know how to travel in style..
I am hoping I can catch another one of there shows in the near future..as I met some awesome people who work along side them and would love to hook up with them ..in fact one of Stevie's old boyfriends works with the Stones..talk about a small world when i found that out..ha ha..

HUGE fan here. I can't get enough of em:thumbsup: I have more Stones CD's in my collection, than any other artist. I flew to Seattle to see the show. It was awsome. Right on the side of the stage, next to Keith, and Dayrl (?) Rain Fall Down was the best new song performed. Bitch was by far the BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT, which is one of my favorite songs. I'm hoping to catch them again, on the last month of the tour (it'll give me time to save)

My brother went to the 2nd night at the bowl and he said the crowd was laidback and just sucked and he said the venue was a s**thole! The crowd at the giants show was wild... the stones even said so theirselves! btw...my brother has been a fan for 30 something years and has seen like 200 shows!:nod: back to livia, gimme shelter is one of my favorites but they dropped it for this tour!:distress: tumbling dice is my bro's favorite song. oh yeah my brother-in-law met mick and got an autograph! details coming soon...:)

Gotta love the Bitch...:laugh:

The bass, the lead guitar, vocals, it's total PERFECTION. The drums are awsome too, but what else would you expect out of Charlie...

Alot of Tumbling Dice fans here, too. Another favorite. I gotta get a job and see em again.:nod:

Whats it like seing them in a big outdoor venue?

It was great. The energy of the crowd in such a large place is amazing. The acoustics were better than I thought they might be, in such a large, outdoor place. Of course, if you are fairly close the stage, the acoustics are usually excellent no matter the venue. I would like to see them at an indoor show as well, just for a comparison.:cool:

Wheeee!:] Back from the Stones concert from Sunday in SF! It was great, they still really rock!
No Ruby Tuesday but they played Paint it Black one of my other fav songs and I was quivering with excitment as I didn't think I would hear that song! It was a great rendition too:) The usual hits were all lots of fun and Rain Fall Down was the best new song.

Keith said something that was truly classic:
After mick made a big deal about being in SF Keith got up and said "yeah it's great to be here, if fact it's great to be anywhere" and cosidering Keith I don't think truer words have ever been spoken.

Charlie was also amusing Mick tried to introduce him and Chalie got about five feet in front of his drum set at Ron's urging and then got back behind it a quick as possible. Sometimes I wonder if he ever wakes up and says to himself "what the h*ll am I doing here?"

On a sidenote the concert was SO loud that people complainded for all over the city, guess the Stones achieved the "Bigger Bang" effect:)
