Ginger1218 | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 09:46 am     I have waited over 30 years to see the Rolling Stones live in concert. Well, tonight's the night. And they are filming it for HBO. So watch it, maybe you will see me behaving like a lunatic. |
Bigd | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 12:14 pm     too cool! |
Maris | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 12:26 pm     Enjoy Ginger. I saw them many many years ago and they did a great show. |
Curiouscat | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 02:46 pm     Have a great time, Ginger! My first big concert was The Rolling Stones in Buffalo back in 1981. I was 14 and my bedroom wall was covered with their pics. Boy, do I feel old. |
Goddessatlaw | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 03:18 pm     Awesome, Ginger - please post how it was later. I'm going to see them in Denver beginning of February. I've never seen them, either. |
Cyn | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 06:01 pm     Cool they opened up with some butt-kickin' "Street Fightin Man" then went into "Start Me Up". Wood is playin a killer Rickenbacker. Mick's voice sounds like he's only takin half breaths though. The filming is awesome. Ron Wood has a net cam on the end of his ax giving these wickedly cool angles. Opening video was a montage of wicked 21st century images. They are better to look at than in decades. Tune into HBO and check this one. Ginger's rockin out at Madison Sqaure this evening, I'm sure. Go girl! |
Maris | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 06:20 pm     Mick hasn't sounded this good in ten years. It is great. |
Maris | Saturday, January 18, 2003 - 08:18 pm     Ginger, you saw a heck of a show. That Midnight Rambler session must have been incredible to be there for. |
Misslibra | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 03:51 am     I missed it I'm sure it will repeat I'll catch it then. Love the Rolling Stones. |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 10:22 am     Ok, here to report, although I am crippled from standing for 4 hours. RIGHT IN FRONT OF MICK, on the rail, center stage. OMG. My seats were not that great, BUT, one of my best friends works for security at the Garden, she was stationed right in the front, and so were the bosses, and she moved us right in the front. I waited all this time to see them, and could not imagine this could happen. James Gandolfini (Sopranos) was 8 rows in back of us. We were not even in the first row, we were in front of the first row. At the end Ron Wood, put a guitar pick in his mouth and spit it out, and I GOT IT. It says The Rolling Stones on it, and has the trademark tongue and 2002 Tour. You know, it is not a matter of what you know, but who. Ok, now to review it, It was the most incredible atmosphere, the smell of marijuana was very strong. LOL. They were just incredible. Mick at 59 is just as intense as he was 30 years ago. His voice was great, they are all straight now. The guitar riffs were unbelievable, Keith rocks. I feel like a little kid. My favorites were Start me up, Gimme Shelter, Satisfaction, and my all time favorite was Sympathy for the Devil. I flipped when they did that. So, if it repeats on HBO, which I am sure it will, look for me. I haven't see it yet, forgot to tape it. But my sister said she saw me a few times, especially during Satisfaction. It was a night I will never forget. |
Pamy | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 10:30 am     Ginger, I am so happy for you! How great to finally get to see them and have the experience that you did!! |
Babyruth | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 10:45 am     WOO HOO, GINGER!! Your post has me grinning from ear to ear! I'm so glad you had such a great experience. The HBO special is being re-aired this Thursday evening during prime time, according to our TV news guide. Check your listings. |
Maris | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 10:50 am     congratulations Ginger. It looked like a great show |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 10:56 am     Oh, thanks Babyruth, I will tape it. Look for me, I have red hair and glasses and am in the front, I at least know they showed me during Satisfaction. I don't know about anything else. |
Goddessatlaw | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 11:21 am     Woo-hoo, I'm going to watch the whole. MM and I watched the first hour to get in the proper frame of excitement for our Denver trip to see the Stones, but shut it off at that point so we didn't spoil the show for ourselves. Now I'm going to have to watch the whole thing and look for Ginger. Ginger, at this point who HAVEN'T you seen that's left on your list. (reminder to self - need to open that Cafe Wha? thread so Ginger can fill us in on her escapades). I love having you on this Board!! |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 11:37 am     Goddess, I never saw the Bee Gees and now, I never will . One group who I amost always go to see, is Crosby Stills Nash and Young. I have a funny story about Graham Nash. I went to see him with Crosby and Stills in Atlantic City. We did not have great seats, so I decided I was gonna have to make contact and get him to play Military Madness. A lot of people don't know that song, but I just love it. Soooo, I bought a blank card with music notes on the front and wrote him a note. I told him it was my 45th birthday (I was lying LOL) and that I have been a fan for over 30 years (true) and always wanted to hear Military Madness. So, we get to the theater and I go up to the stage manager and ask him to pass the card to Graham Nash. Then I tried to bribe the maitre d' to get us better seats up front. I also lied and told them it was my birthday. LOL, I was shameless). So, they said they have to wait until the show starts to see what seats they have. Well, after the first song, Graham Nash says, "I got this lovely card before the show" - and then he dedicated the song to me. I almost died. I would have this man's children if I could LOL. As soon as the song was over, the maitre'd comes over and says, "this is your lucky day" and brings us up front center stage. At the end of the song, I yelled out, Thank you Graham and he said back "you're welcome Lynn" (my real name) I don't know how he knew it was me, but I was in heaven. I have to think about who I haven't seen that I really want to. |
Draheid | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 11:41 am     I just checked the schedules in my Tivo and, according to this, HBO will be replaying the concert on: January 23 @ 8:00PM CT January 26 @ 2:30PM CT Note the show lists as being 2:15 long!! There may be additional airings in the future so watch your schedules! Hope this helps. |
Hummingbird | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 11:51 am     My favorite Stones song is "Miss You." I don't think they did it last night. I didn't watch the whole concert. |
Goddessatlaw | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 11:55 am     Crap, Ginger, I'm swooning just hearing about it. What a tremendous experience - Are You Experienced (LOL). I think I need to take you to all my concerts to maximize intensity. I have to confess, I'm not much of a Stones fan (LOVE CSN&Y, though) but am going for the experience and because MM adores them (never seen him wiggle like last night when the show was on). Great memories. |
Twinkie | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 12:32 pm     My wonderful, darling hubby taped the show last night!!! YAAAAAAA I will watch it and be looking for you Ginger! I have a great story about a concert of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band that I will share with you all soon. It was when his first album came out and he was mostly unknown. |
Cyn | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 12:49 pm     Ginger, woo-hoo! glad you had a rockin' time. note to clubhouse friends: i will always have something slightly wrong to mention about Mick, cause i loved Brain Jones. And I still behave like a child about it. The performance was amazing and like i mentioned in the right now thread - this was one of the sweetest moments in rock 'n roll history. Twinkie, I saw the Boss too in Pittsburgh in the 80s. He played for like 4 hours+. Probably one of the best concerts that I ever saw. |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 01:06 pm     I never saw Bruce in Concert. But, I used to see him at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park before he became famous. |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 01:08 pm     Ok Goddess, who was wriggling MM? or Mick? LMAO Draheid thanks for the schedule. Hummingbird, they didn't play Miss You. I was disappointed as well. |
Cyn | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 01:13 pm     I saw bon jovi at sea side in 1985 and me and friend was in the front of the stage in bikinis shakin' our heads. I had no idea who he was, and i still don't care today. but, we were asked, so we signed a release. that's probably one of my most embarrassing moments. But - Bruce, OMGosh, i loved him when i was growing up. Ginger's a rocker! I was really into Joe Strummer. Joe Strummer was more my Bruce. I saw the Clash open for the Talking Heads in Pittsburgh in the 80s too. The show was too loud and sounded lousy, but did they ever shake the cobwebs out of the house. It was life changing. |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, January 19, 2003 - 01:31 pm     The Talking Heads and the Clash were not in my time period. The only rock group I loved from the 80s is Bon Jovi, and only cause he is soooooo gorgeous. (I am a perverted old woman LOL) I love music from the 60s and 70s mostly. I am an old hippy turned into a young republican LOL. But, yes, I am a rocker. I have been since I was 13 years old. I never dated anyone who wasn't a musician until I was in my 30s. It was my only interests during adolescence and early 20s. So of course, that was the people I would meet. I also have done some entertaining myself (off broadway and stand up comedy), so I meet a lot of people. |
