Murrayfield stadium, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK - June 9, 2018 - Setlist, pix, videos, etc
Jun 6^th, 2018 at 6:36am

I'm leaving for Edinburgh today and I read that the correct pronunciation does not have a hard G as in berg, but is pronounced Edinburrah without a g sound at all. Is this true?

Also heard the Dirty Strangers show is going to be mind-blowing with special appearances by some big names so I can only hope for a Stone or Band 2 member(s).

Lucky Dips again so you never know where that will lead but I'm in the door cheap either way. Looking forward to seeing my one true love, The ROlling Stones again. I'm feeling lucky and blessed to be going to another show. Hope to "get lucky" too, ha ha yeah with a dirty stranger. Drink a shot of scotch and let the party week begin! What is the correct shot-saying toast in Scotland, cheers? bottoms up?

Will post a full review and pics and videos. YAY! WHOO-WHOO! Cheesy

You are correct about how to pronounce the Edinburgh. There are burgers to eat in Scotland, but they call them burrahs.
In re. being drunk - it is best to say that boozers are minced, blootered or just half-cut.
Try not to take a slash from the back heights of the stadium - it's crass and much better (if really necessary) to have a wee-wee in the Golden Circle or beyond.
Awa' wi' it.

OK day 1, so good. First off, at the airport, my friend and I just happened to get a porter to collect our bags to the taxi stand and when I said I was here for the Stones, he informed me the band arrived here last night and showed me pics of the stones plane at the airport. He also told me they are staying at the Balmoral Hotel and the band was escorted into a private entrance at the hotel. We went there today for stalking but security is so tight you cant get in the front door without a room key. No balcony sightings so that was nothing but the hotel is spectacular.

Lots of sightseeing, its a beautiful city with lots of old pubs. I tried 2 different shots of scotch and hated them both. Ate a steak and ale pie which was tasty and filling. Met some fun people at the bar. Saw a comedy show upstairs at the Beehive Inn, had some laughs, drank some wine, tried to score some weed but was offered smack instead which is surprising and I'm not interested. Saw only a few Stones tongues in the crowd but I expect tomorrow the fans will be rolling into town! Grin

This design pays homage to Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson's work, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
