This WILL be the last time

Enjoy!!

My brother just saw them and said they were fabulous. I saw them about 40 years ago and was largely unimpressed.

Enjoy - I'm 66 as well and I saw the Stones a couple of weeks ago with my son. They were great. I also insisted on a seat. The last time I saw the Stones was 52 years ago at the Albert Hall. I would never have believed I would go to concerts with the same band half a century apart. I wish I had Jagger's energy!

I had a date with Keith Richards in 1964. Do you think he'd recognise me now?!

I am so green with envy I saw them 50+ yrs ago in New Brighton along with Hermans Hermits fond memories indeed.
I remember buying their first hit called "Come On" I played it day and night until my dad hid the record player from me.

nanasam I'm not sure Keith recognises anyone now! He seems in his own world. How he can still pay so well is incredible, my partner had to give up the guitar at about 60 due to arthritis in his hands.

Thanks GrandmaMoira I wish I had Jagger's energy too, do you think he will be dosing up with Sulphadeine before the performance like me?

Never saw them in the 60s, I do regret that kittylester but think I'm making up for that now!

Some folk have all the luck!!!

Enjoy ............and enjoy on my behalf too!

I tried to get tickets but the cost was prohibitive and it is good that I did not having just had major surgery I would not make it to the venue next month and really enjoy it.

I agree, where Mick Jagger gets his energy from is beyond me. OA obviously has not hit him!

I saw them about 50 years ago in at the Birmingham Odeon! Good job my boyfriend ( who became my 1st husband) was a Stone's fan and knew their music as you couldn't hear a thing over all the screaming girls??.

Have a wonderful time!

Green with envy LyndyLou ?

Not in the same league I know but Cliff Richard performed at a venue very near us, and I watched a steady procession of geriatrics, some I kid you not, with walking sticks and one with a Zimmer frame, struggle past our house, en route ???

Enjoy you lucky lady! My brother still travels to see them and loves them. Wow to the person who dated Keith. I still love concerts as long as they're not too loud Too old for loud music. My husband plays in an amateur group. we're both 67...the generation that refuses to grow old.?? And yes Lindylou its not kind to your fjnger joints.

I'm well jel!! I saw them way way back before they really became famous - on Eel Pie Island.
Very local to me were Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and John Entwistle of The Who. In fact I went out with John's cousin at one time. They've been my favourite rock group for ever, and I've seen them at the O2 twice in the last few years - took my daughter and her OH, who were both blown away!

We saw them 12 years ago at the Cardiff Millennium Stadium, supported by The Kooks. It was such a great evening (spoiled only by the shockingly poor quality of the food available in the interval. Or what was being passed off as food ).
Jagger was just astounding - the energy of that man is incredible!
Enjoy your evening - I'm very envious!

NanTheWiser That's where I had the date with Keef! Remember the dingy white walls with black paint graffiti? And the wooden floor that used to flex when people danced on it. We had a membership card - Prince of Pan I think it was called and saw The Who, Them, Long John Baldry and Julie Driscoll and the Trinity. Great times. The Stones were heading off for their first tour so I only got to date him the once. Who knows what might have happened had they not gone touring. He did write to me a couple of times, though. Shame I didn't keep the letters, they may have been worth something today! Ahhh, happy memories. Would love to see them now.

We also saw The Who at De Brome school hall in Feltham! DH had a pee with Rod Stewart in The Airman pub, too!

Last year we just happened to be in Catalonia at referendum time and somehow ended up at the Stones concert in Barcelona. Main topic of conversation on the coach there was " have you been to one of their concerts before?"
My honest answer was yes, but they weren't top of the bill then. My darling other half then worked out it was more than a half century ago. Tactless old duffer!

I just remember the whole place as being dark and dingy, nanasam, all very cool at the time. It was a very wet night, and crossing the bridge was quite nerve-wracking! I lived in Chiswick then, so not far away, and Roger Daltrey lived just round the corner.
I used to go around with a crowd of friends, including an amateur pop group, who played the Overseas Visitor Club in Earls Court, such happy days!

IRONING JEANS ?????

I iron my jeans !!

Pp mentioned Cliff Richard. I went to see him about 20 years ago in the Kings Hall Belfast. There was a bus strike so roads were bunged.. We got there eventually, by taxi and walked home, all 10 miles.
The show was brilliant, loved it, even though I was there with a tooth abscess (in agony) and had a ten miles walk home.

I do hope you enjoyed it! nonnasusie I saw them at Birmingham Odeon too. I wonder if it was the same concert A friend from school paid for me to go as no one would go with her We were all Beatles girls. I was converted later on and we went to see them at the Town Hall once which was great. I saw the Beatles 4 or 5 times when they came to Brum - had a chat with George (my hero) through a broken window. Well, George chatted, I gawped open mouthed. Happy days.

I iron jeans too!

We went to a 60s rock concert last year featuring Marty Wilde, Mark Wynter, Eden Kane and Mike (or could have been Dave) Berry. I wasn't expecting much, tbh but they were all simply on fire! They looked good and they sounded good too. Everyone had a great rocking night, singing the songs and jumping about like it was 1965! When it came to 'Teenager in Love', Marty W said 'I ain't singing this, you can do it', and we did!

You lucky duck! I love The Rolling Stones but have never seen them. I hope it's fantastic!

You iron jeans?!

Enjoy the concert. x
