I took some pictures and videos, so I´ll share it, be patient.

But it was funny that my age was very underaverage there... so many couples in their 50s I´d say.

It was great show!! Lindsey is king, Stevie is in really good shape, sounds very good, Mick is just crazy, and John... anytime I looked at him I thought about Christine...

The concert was absolutely same as you know (awesome), so I don´t have to write stories about that.

But after the show, I went with bunch of people to the place, where they left the arena. So we thanks there to each other once more and that´s it.

The couple of hours after that I was very sad, because man is thinking about it months and once come there to see it, it´s like five minutes and it´s over. That´s unbelievable.

And I have to say too, that there was no song I wouldn´t enjoy, really. Just great music. I was really born in wrong time... (and also in wrong place)

It´s interesting, that I´m the only one talking about this show here. Because I´m not from Berlin, even from Germany, but Czech Republic. I´d say that most of people there were from Berlin. I heard only German.

I had a great time, I forgot about everything else and enjoy the music (hope as the rest of the audience). It´s kind of medicine. You really don´t care about anything there... I wish it would never stopped.

Thanks for the review! I'm rather surprised that there are no Ledgies in Berlin; it's quite bizarre, actually, considering all of the people who attended the Dutch, Belgian and Scandinavian shows.

I can understand your feeling of loss all too well. You get excited by the anticipation of the show, and then when the show is over, you start to go into FM withdrawal, and you need another Mac attack! It's like eating potato chips. In some ways I think the shows are rather anticlimactic- the real rush is in the speculation and the build up to the event itself. It really makes no sense at all since the setlists and shows are identical and completely choreographed... but there is something very exciting about sharing a couple of hours of your life with people that have had such a profound impact on your life for so many years. I am 12 years old again when I hear some of these songs for the umpteen thousandth time. The passage of time is sad... but when you see that they are still up there, still looking great and still making great music, it somehow makes it all okay.
