Elwood: The Band.
Jake: The Band?
Elwood: The Band.
Jake: THE BAND!!
So far from IORR,
Bilbao is now the capital of Stonesland...
Bilbao is a relatively small city, and when it is flooded with Stones fans from all over the region, the city is packed! You can see Stones T-shirts everywhere. Every single bar up to 10 blocks from San Mames stadium is totally packed, and people are flooding into the streets of course.
It seems like every fan has got their own T-shirt.
As the show in 1998 was cancelled, and I was may be the
only fan among a handful others that made it to Bilbao
after the cancelled Milan show, I did not expect that many BTB shirts, but there are lots... Later today, I found out why. Every side street of San Mames stadium is packed with
bootleg T-shirts. They cost 10 Euro, i.e. 1/3 of official price. Still the official merchandise stands are crowded.
I arrived into Bilbao through Madrid, having +35C, i.e. 100 F, but luckily Bilbao is cloudy, and the drizzle just started. The temperature today has been something like +22 C. Even if I hate rain, I think it is god for the show,
as it keeps the band able to perform rather than sweat,
and the same goes for the crowd. |

To hear "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", in what was probably either twilight or right before sunset, in a giant stadium with 60,000 other folks, listening to that kind of crazy proto-Cuban beat in the second section, and The Solo Mk. II, ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Well, it was a smaller stadium, only 37,500. Does that make your fantasy better or worse? Lol  . |

Also 6 songs were long, the show started late and they have to obey curfew. |

No, third I think. (First time they did it, it was sandwiched between "I Just Wanna Make Love To You" and "Midnight Rambler". Think about THAT for a minute...)
I'm really curious as to how it works on the poop deck. Could be great. |

Yeah, but why does he do that? One day he will do it and not be able to get up again! lol |
|
|
| steel driving hammer |
LOL true.
There was some video I saw a few days ago of him running on this tour. Forgot what city but he was running on a side ramp like Mick.
Maybe all he does today is smoke and have a few drinks, it ain't all that bad. |

I see Mick had on my red coat on the catwalk.
(I have to have one. The fringe is to die for! And wouldn't it go great with a sleek black dress?  )
Great pictures everyone...as usual
