To get a good spot we went inside at 5:30 and as we waited for the opening act it started to rain a steady drizzle for just about till the Stones came on at 8:15. Before the show started, because the catwalk was wet and slippery the crew mopped it down with small white towels which looked like hotel hand towels. You would think they would have had big towels or mops. Anyway they dried off the catwalk and covered the wires with some plastic tape and it was still drizzling. When the band came on, SMU was the first song. KEEF was right in front of me so I saw what happened. The guitar wasn't turned on right so he fvcked around with a dial and then restarted the song. It only took a few seconds and people were saying he screwed up the opening, but it wasn't his fault, I don't think. Just one of those things that happen at a Stones concert! SMU kicked ass so the show was off to a good start. The band looked very happy to be playing to an adoring enthusiastic crowd, big smiles all around. Some bum notes here and there, some wrong lyrics too but those are the parts I enjoy most after hearing these songs so much. The funny thing about being in the PIT is that I knew at least 10 people. Americans, Canadians, Germans, Finlanders, British, Hungarians, Polish, French, Irish, Japanese, Argentina. These are some dedicated die-hards in the PIT. Because I was there so early I made some new friends. Here was the highlight of the show for me: Around 10:00, during Brown Sugar (I think)MICK took off his shirt and tossed it in the crowd. After a brawl, a young German guy ended up with the shirt. He had to hide it because people were literally on top of him. Anyway, I knew who got the shirt and after the show I asked him if I could smell it. So I burried my face into MICK's shirt and took a deep wiff, and guess what? MICK SMELLS FVCKING GREAT! I always knew he would and now I know exactly what MICK smells like. The aroma was so good, I will never forget the intoxicating scent of MICK JAGGER!!! For real. No shit. Sweat of MICK in my face.
