Raw Power Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Last night was the best night of my life.. ever. I have still goosebumps, and chills down my back because of a major rockshock. What causes this is the Rolling fuckin' Stones. I waited for 6 hours and my legs was about to collapse, before the intro came on the big screen. I couldnt care less for my legs, everything else was forgotten. Keith came on stage and started to play "Start Me Up." I got chills down my back and couldnt believe what I was seeing or hearing. Watch these old guys on stage was just amazing. These guys is one of the bands who invented rock'n'roll, which has become my lifestyle. These guys created what Im living for. The band played great, everything was perfect. The stage was the biggest thing I've ever seen at a concert arena, and the good songs just kept going on. "You Got Me Rocking," "Rough Justice" and "Bitch" followed the intro. The show was on. I've read a lot of setlist so I know what I would get, at least I thought I know. The setlist was actually pretty unpredictable. I've never heard a better performance of "The Midnight Rambler." The band did an awsome job covering James Brown's "I'll Go Crazy" and Lisa Fishcer on backingvocals showed her talent by giving my one of the best vocal perfermances I've ever heard. I almost had to reconsider if "The Great Gig In The Sky" actually was that good. Then one of the highlights of the evning followed. Keith sung two songs by himslef. One of them was "You Got The Silver", with Ron on acoustic guitar." It was about now the show really took of. Mick came back on stage with a guitar, and the stage became mobile. It "flew" down the passageway while the band played "Miss You." While beeing in the middle of the audience, surrounded by 40 000 Norwegians the band played "It's Only Rock N Roll" and "Satisfaction." As the band played "Honkey Tonk Women" the stage went back to normal, and a hughe pair inflateable lips appeared.. it wasnt before then I realized that I was actualyl watching Mick, Keith, Ron and Charlie live. Suddenly I heard the intro beat of "Sympathy For The Devil" I was about to go mad. I had a hard time trying to not drop dead of just pure happiness. The stage appeared to be on fire, and the lyrics Mick started singing "Please allow me to introduce myself" and I lost concact with the ground, I've still not got back on the ground. Before the encore they played "Paint it Black" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." The perfect ending for a perfect show. The Encore show was only one song, "Brown Sugar," which seemed to never end. I think each and all of the crowd wished it to never stop either.. Unfortunately it did.Best .. Night.. Ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 People slag em off for their age,but the fact is...most people could only hope to be so cool in their 60's.It's always cool to hear the boys are still knocking people out (of all ages) with their live shows!gotta love the Stones!

Raw Power Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 It's rarely to see that kind of age differences in the audience at a rock concert... Old men with walkers, too kids at the age of 12. The old man gets to see his favourite bands from the 60's while the young kid gets to see his new favourite band.

drops_of_jupiter Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Aren't they amazing??! I won tickets to see them last August and I can still remember certain things from ti really clearly; like, when Mick sung the opening lines of 'Sympathy for the Devil'. That day last year was mind-blowing--everything about that day was just perfect. They're playing their first London show on the 21st--fingers crossed I'll get passes!

Raw Power Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yeah. I was suppose to see Tool tonight, but I didnt get tickets. I don't care.. I still can't believe how great it was.. I've youtubed "Rolling Stones Oslo" like 1000 times today. I've seen The Who, I've seen Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iggy & The Stooges, Mötley Crüe.. nothing comes close to this.

Raw Power Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 My first Stones concert was in '78....Keith fresh out of rehab.It was phenominal...the best concert I've ever seen.....ever.Ah, dude! I wish I lived in the 70's... Many times I've wondered if I've been born in the wrong decade I just can't get back on the ground, Im suffering from a major rockshock. I think The Beatles has to see themself beaten as my favourite band. The Stones has always been up therein the top 5. But last night I realised that this is rock'n'roll.

Raw Power Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Rock and roll (also spelled rock 'n' roll), is a genre of music that emerged as a defined musical style in the Southern United States in the 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the country, and the world.
