I'm still on cloud nine! Our $30 Lucky Dips turned into $300 Section 118 row 8 seats! We were on Keith's side of the stage 8 rows from the field!
I could see the guys faces! And thank heaven we were close enough that hubby could see the jumbotron. Even Mick on the catwalk wasn't that far away.
I had been waiting to see the Stones since I was 10 years old. I wasn't disappointed. Yes, Ed Sheeran on Beast of Burden wasn't the best I've ever heard, but can't complain. Simply amazing! The Stones are Rock N Roll. They have influenced everyone and yet no one sounds like them. I know I'm preaching to the choir and most of you have seen multiple shows, but I'm still gushing and squeeing like a teenager! It's 3:30am now, show has been over for a few hours and I'm no where near to coming down.
I'm not trying to hijack a thread or ask for sympathy or anything of the kind with this. Just to give all of you an idea of what this meant to me and my hubby. He is seriously ill and we don't get out much. He still does his weekly radio show, but that is about it. Had it not been for the Lucky Dip prices there is no way we could have gone. And for those tickets to have turned out where they did is simply amazing. I've been like a kid at Christmas for days, but he was trying to be reserved and not get all caught up in it. To see him having as great of a time as I did and being almost overwhelmed at times by how great the Stones sounded tonight made it all the more special.
Mick said I heard you all have the world record for being the loudest fans....Arrowhead erupted and started quaking. Mick was impressed.
The version of Gimme Shelter I heard tonight will never be topped. That will live in my mind forever.
