Ok, its almost the UK's turn.

I dont think there's much point doing a thread for a meet up at Glastonbury is there as the few fans who are going will have to arrange any meet-ups 'on site', but if anyone wants to start one, feel free to do so.

So anyway, I dont see that anything has been formally arranged for Hyde Park so maybe this is the time to start something.

We've ended up going for a bar called The Monkey Puzzle as a meeting point. This bar is about a twelve minute walk from the north entrance to the concert, which is close to Marble Arch tube station and is the entry point for those of you with Tier 3 tickets.

Address :
30 Southwick Street, London, W2 1JQ
Tel: 0871 951 1000

http://www.iorr.org/jpg/london%20_pub_paddington.jpg


Nearest Tube stations :
Edgware Road (0.3 miles), Paddington (0.4 miles), Lancaster Gate (0.4 miles)

Nearest National Rail stations :
London Paddington (0.2 miles), London Marylebone (0.5 miles), Kilburn High Road (1.8 miles)


Note that the pub doesnt serve food at lunchtime on weekends, but obviously there will be plenty of food outlets nearby and in the park itself.

Note also that the opening time for entrance to these shows is 12 noon. The shows begin at 2 pm and is due to finish at around 10.15 so I guess you can expect the Stones to be onstage around 8 pm. Specific stage times will be published on the line-up page on the festival website in the week prior to the event.

The festival's website can be found here :
http://www.bst-hydepark.com/




Please note also that if you have will-call tickets, the latest (revised) instructions from BST is that they can be picked up in advance from the box office on 3rd and 4th July and on 6th July from 9.30 am. There is (at present) no provision for a box office collection on Friday 5th July, presumably as there is another concert in the park that day. There are box offices at both the north and south entrances to the park.

Thanks Gazza,

I've been wondering about a meeting place. All the pubs around  Hyde Park look a bit too Celeb/Gastro. from what I've seen, but this looks ok. Riff raff allowed I take it ?

Looks like the St. Giles will be hosting the usual all nighter afterwards, but flexibility is the name of the game if we want a Rocks Off gathering........which we do !

sc uk

Thanks Gazza, I will be in London on the Friday afternoon of the 5th are we going to meet up at the same place that evening those of us earlier arrivals?  :booze

I hope all you fuckers RLF, you wont be disappointed.

It is time to build a strong RockOffers team for the 13th.
How many of you are going on?
I'll be there on friday 12th and I presume to see some of you bastards!

Riff-raff should be OK. Utter vermin is compulsory though.

I havent checked anything with them but from their website they open at 11 am which should be fine, I'm sure.

Yeah, vermin will be there. I'm bringing flairville ! :booze :booze :booze

I'm vermin! Practically pond life. Sounds good to me! Lets rock!

Got my ticket for July 6th. Coming over with a mate of mine I got into the Stones a couple of years ago - after seeing them for the first time in November 2012 I told him he HAD to see them.

Anyways, my ticket says Special Guests: The Vaccines and the Temper Trap. No Gary Clark Jr??? Was looking forward to seeing him, especially after seeing him open for Clapton in May. Does anyone know if he's still playing?

Unfortunately won't be there on the 6th, but the 13th: Oh Yeah!!!

Tier 3, £95, for both nights are now available at the BST website. I'd choose 'Will Call' as ticket delivery is a joke.
Also, Tier 2, £199 available too, without the wank wristband.

Amsterdam has beautiful canals, the Van Gogh museum plus other great museums, Anne Frank House and so much more. And I can't forget my fave, the Heineken Brewery.

So please resist the temptation to spend too much time in the red light district and the cannibus cafes.

I hope I have been some help in making your trip that much more pleasurable.

Enjoy!

How about this place for a meet up point, folks?

www.themonkeypuzzlepub.co.uk

30 Southwick Street
Sussex Gardends
W2 1JQ

In Paddington, and just a few minutes north of Hyde Park on foot, but away from Bayswater Road which will be absolutely crawling with tourists and concert goers.

It also has a beer garden

Gazza thats fine with me. Where are those of us arriving on Friday meeting up?...Jini et al?

we seem to be edging towards the Monkey Puzzle

Grrregory would no doubt approve.

Ok, I phoned the Monkey Puzzle just now and they open at 11 am, which is fine.

However, on weekends they dont serve food at lunchtime which may be a problem for some people.

There'll be plenty of food available at the gig and elsewhere en route for anyone who needs it, of course.

What do you folks think? Should we stick with it or go elsewhere?

Go with it, we can get food on the way or at HP.

Ok...we'll stick with that one, then.

Seems to be Ok with folks on various boards, too.

Everyone is welcome. Hope you can join us.

This may become my favorite thread.

First post on the thread now updated with revised arrangements and details of how to get there, etc.

I'll be out by Clapham Common, so I'm partial to the Balham Bowls. In Soho there's a blues bar that was okay but to be honest, I was spending alot of time at Cro-Bar...it's open 'til 3am!!

For those of you who will be in London next week:

Monday 8 July Tim Ries will be playing the Rolling Stones Project at the Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London. Tim will be joined on stage by Bernard Fowler, Lisa Fisher and Darryl Jones, as well as other special guests.

The Rolling Stones Project will perform at the beautiful Lyric Theatre in London on Monday July 8th. After the historic Stones concert at Glastonbury last weekend and in-between the Hyde Park concerts in London, The Rolling Stones Project should prove to be an exciting evening of music. The Project hasn't played in London since 2007 at Ronnie Scotts.

For tickets:
http://www.nimaxtheatres.com/lyric-theatre/tim_ries_-_the_rolling_stones_project

In 2005, Rolling Stones saxophonist and keyboardist Tim Ries, produced, arranged and recorded the Rolling Stones Project. The arrangements are steeped in the jazz, blues, rock and Latin genres. Guest artists included: Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood, Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones, Lisa Fischer, Bernard Fowler, Darryl Jones, Bill Frisell, John Scofield, John Patitucci, Brian Blade, Ben Monder and many others. During the 2 year Stones Bigger Bang tour, Tim recorded another project, Stones World, and released the disc in 2008. This was a unique opportunity to record in many countries, utilizing the talents of local musicians, singers and dancers and record world music versions of the Stones classics. This time, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie recorded as well as Mick Jagger. In addition to the 4 Stones, there were 75 guests on Stones World, including: Brazilian legend Milton Nascimento, Flamenco dancer Sara Baras, Fado sensation Ana Moura, Salsa King Eddie Palmieri, Stones singers Lisa Fischer and Bernard Fowler, pianist Chuck Leavell and many other jazz, rock and world greats.

Myself, StraycatUK and Sweet Virginia went to a Stones Project gig in Chicago. I was drunk and jet lagged I fell asleep stood up and had to be taken home! Definitely worth going if you're in Landan town.

we predicted this...

I was thinking Nag's Head for any of the wilder Friday night gatherings. Anyone in?

It's time for me to come clean (Glen already knows this). On Friday night we will be at Wembly seeing Robbie Williams. He's a guilty pleasure at my house.

I've written on their Facebook wall & Twitter asking them to confirm whether the times are indeed correct. I have also emailed Rob Hallett from AEG so he can confirm. It'll be interesting to see what tomorrow brings, I have justified the cost to myself based upon a full Rolling Stones show, 90 minutes does not represent reasonable value for money.

I did the same. That would be totally outrageous, especially as Glastonbury - a NON STONES AUDIENCE - got 130 minutes

I thought it couldn't get worse ..............90 mins ?
What time is the curfew ?

have a wonderful time everybody

Curfew is 22:30 on the BST Hyde Park Website.

10.30 seems to be the norm for outdoor shows in London. That was always the case for Wembley and Twickenham and  Hard Rock Calling pulled the plug on Bruce at Hyde park last year when he went over a 10.30 pm curfew and was still playing at about 10.40-10.45

Perhaps-ish the following set could be performed in Hyde Pork at one or other show...

Street Fighting Moan
Get Off Of My Cloud
Hang Fire
Paint It Black
Worried About You
Salt Of the Earth
Happy (with KR)
Too Rude (with KR)
Sympathy For...
Sway
Emotional Rescue (with Eliza Doolittle)
In Another Land (with BW)
Honky Tonk Women (with BW)
Beef Curtains
Start Me Up
Brown Sugar
You Can't...
Satisfaction
Come On (with extended fireworks)

It seems on BST's website that the times have been revised to 20:30- 22:15, 105 minutes. Still not long enough!

I always expected both Glalstonbury & Hyde Park to have slightly shorter sets than normal, as they were festivals, but still to be around the two-hour mark.

If theyre on at 8.30 they'll probaly play until 10.30. Still hoping for at least two hours. But if each days brings us an extra 15 minutes, maybe by Saturday we'll get a full length show!

Have fun all.

When the options for the fan-choice arrived, I considered a prank for a sec because YGMR is an option...I couldn't do it to you guys though. Voted for All Down The Line.

They replied to my rant on their Fbook page, Stones 20:30-22:15 - STILL NOT LONG ENOUGH!

the band are due onstage at 20.30, which translates as 20.45 as the time that they actually hit the stage.

20.45-22.30 = 1.75 hour length show

The above was me using the Admin account  :forfucksake

I'm not sure when I'm going to get in from Glasgow...I am riding a motorbike so it takes a bit longer 'cause I stop more often for petrol. I know I'll wanna drink, but can't commit to a time!

The line up shows a 45 minute gap between each of the opening acts, but half an hour between the Vaccines (7pm - 8 pm) and the Stones (8.30 - 10.15). That makes no sense at all. If anything, youd expect shorter change over times during the day and maybe 45 mins before the main event.

I'd still expect some of the opening acts to be on a bit earlier than scheduled and the time between sets to be shorter. Hoping we get two hours minimum.

To add insult to injury. Bon Jovi's slot for the Friday night - 7.20 until 10.15.

Fair play to them for taking care of their fanbase. I only hope our band will do likewise.

Somebody on the Shidoobee FB page said Mick was talking about recreating the setlist from the 69 Hyde Park show. COnsidering they still play %90 of it.......Should'nt be too hard. :boring

Jagger: Same songs, no butterflies

Mick Jagger has hinted the Rolling Stones might play the same set list at Saturday's Hyde Park gig that they played first time round in 1969 - but there will be no repeat of the stunt that saw him release hundreds of butterflies into the crowd.

This weekend's performance comes almost 44 years to the day since they played the famous free concert in the central London park.

That gig, on July 5 1969, was only two days after the death of founder member Brian Jones and marked the live debut of his replacement guitarist, Mick Taylor.

The singer told Absolute Radio's Pete Mitchell: "Obviously, the same set list is going to be used, it saves me having to think."

The 1969 gig kicked off with Jagger reading extracts from a poem by Shelley in tribute to Jones, the band's founder, who was found dead in his swimming pool at home.

Jagger admitted that this time the songs might be played "in a slightly different order", saying: "I'll put them in the butterfly boxes and then throw them in there cut out and then shake them and then see what comes out and in what order."

He said there would be no butterflies released because they "didn't go down very well last time". He said: "I think we got a lot of complaints from the park because they didn't know we were going to do it and they were, of course, the wrong kind of butterflies and they went on to eat the wrong kinds of... Anyway they weren't happy."

The stage at Hyde Park is being covered in model oak trees in a nod to the first time the rockers played at the venue. The Sun reported that the 70ft fake trees have been planted on top of the stage to recreate the feel of their performance in 1969.

A source said: "When Mick and the band looked out from the stage back in the Sixties all they could see was a sea of people and a load of trees, but many of those have been cleared or replanted since. So they want to recreate the woodland. As you can see from the pictures, the two oak trees either side are absolutely massive. They want it to look as authentic as possible."

:: The Barclaycard British Summertime Music Festival runs from July 5-14 in Hyde Park, and also features Bon Jovi, Elton John and JLS.

just make sure that ahole Elton doesn't waddle on stage in his duck get up.

Hope they have rehearsed this week, would be superb if they did Stray Cat Blues

From what Ive been reading on the internet, there are actually a lot of people taking this seriously - and some are only doubting its validity because the 'by request' choices are all post-1969 songs. :)

How could anyone take that seriously...............No Miss You ?

They'll be thinking You got me Rocking is a warhorse next ..................Oh !

If they give a nod to the original set, I'm seeing a possibility of Street Fighting Man,Love in Vain and maybe Loving Cup ?

sc uk

Sorry if this has been cleared up elsewhere, but I'm pretty confident Gary Clark Jr isn't playing tomorrow anymore? Pretty disappointed cause I'm not a fan of the other warmups.

he is. He was listed on the bill that was published yesterday. He's the second act on.

Music producer Bob Clearmountain adds magic touch to Rolling Stones' Hyde Park setlist

ANTHONY BARNES   FRIDAY 05 JULY 2013

Celebrated music producer Bob Clearmountain is being flown in to put his magic touch on The Rolling Stones' return to London's Hyde Park tomorrow.

The band will give a headline performance at the outdoor venue for the first time since their historic free concert almost 44 years ago.

And Grammy-nominated Clearmountain - renowned for his work as a live mix engineer - has been lined up to ensure recordings of the show are up to scratch.

The Stones will play two shows at Hyde Park, with the second next Saturday, and both will be filmed and recorded. It is thought the sound recordings will go on to be sold through the iTunes Store, while footage is expected to form a future DVD release.

Although Clearmountain is not working on the sound which concertgoers will hear, he will be making the sure the sound of the recordings is the best it can be. He has previously worked on live albums Stripped, Still Life and Live Licks for the band, and also worked on their studio albums Tattoo You, including the single "Miss You".

The band's performance at Hyde Park comes just days after their much anticipated show as headliners at Glastonbury last weekend which saw them run through many of their best known hits.

Frontman Sir Mick Jagger has already hinted that the concert will feature many of the songs from the band's set list when they played their free show in 1969.

In an interview with Absolute Radio's Pete Mitchell, he said: "Obviously, the same set list is going to be used, it saves me having to think."

The previous gig, on July 5 1969, came just two days after the death of founder member Brian Jones and marked the live debut of his replacement guitarist, Mick Taylor. The performance kicked off with Sir Mick reading extracts from a poem by Shelley in tribute to Jones, who was found dead in his swimming pool at home.

There has been speculation that the band would be welcoming some guest performers to the stage, but it now seems more likely that the band themselves will be the main focus although former guitarist Mick Taylor will join them as he did at Glastonbury. Support act Gary Clark Jr, the blues guitarist, may also put in an appearance with the Stones.

As ever, there will be a few starry VIP guests at the show, which forms part of the new Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time festival, who are expected to include Kate Moss among others.

I have been trying to hold my tongue...but, alas...no more.

All this talk about Hyde Park..."ALMOST 44 years to the day"...
Brian's death...blah blah blah...and NO MENTION of the EXACT 2 year anniversary of the release of the single MIRACLE WORKER by Superheavy...

That's right...July 6, 2011 was the release of the single...FFS...the RELEASE of those damned butterflies have gotten more press than this...

To refresh your memories...

It seems very weird not being in London for this event.  I am very sad to be missing this show and all of you.  The only thing that will make it less painful is if they do indeed only play for 90 minutes or less.( just kidding..)

Hope all you crazies have a wonderful show!  With alcohol and friends, that will definitely be the only logical outcome ...

What?  no butterflies?

come on, they could at least fling some packing peanuts.

My motorcycle broke down 60 miles outside of Glasgow.

Life is a bitch SheRat!

Elton John has appendicitis and has cancelled his appearance at the Friday 12th July show.

The gig - which also features Nick Lowe, Ray Davies and Elvis Costello - will now go ahead as a FREE concert with refunds being given for those who need them.

Sounds like a good deal for anyone there for the whole weekend. Check the BST site for further info.

There were three acts on the bill for the Friday. Bush, The Kaiser Chiefs (I think) and Bon Jovi. On the schedule posted on the festival website, Bon Jovi were down to play from 7.20 to 10.15, so I assume they did about three hours.

There were five acts on the Stones' bill. There's a 10.30 curfew for each event (maybe earlier on the Sunday, I dont know) but there's no way anyone is telling the Stones or any headliner 'you can only play for xxx amount of time'. As long as theyre off for 10.30 the event can and will be tailored around how long the headliners agree to play for.

The headliner for one of the Sunday night shows - the boyband JLS - are down to play a set of 45 minutes. They go on stage after The Beach Boys. God knows what their fanbase of 12 year old girls will make of a bunch of wizened septuagenarians singing stuff like 'Be True to Your School' and 'When I Grow Up To Be A Man'.
