View Full Version : Any OFWF Members attending July 30th Rolling Stones Concert?
taz22 July 10th, 2003, 08:28 PM Just wondering if any other OFWF members plan on attending the July 30th Rolling Stones Concert in Toronto. I'm a big Stones fan and can't wait to see them again. I glad they have decided to cross the Atlantic to do this one show as I was starting to suffer from withdrawl! wetman July 10th, 2003, 09:29 PM Going for Rush and AC/DC pufferfish July 10th, 2003, 10:07 PM Rumour has it U2 may show but security doesn't want them. The site will be a no fly zone 48 hours before. Not even the Stones will be able to come in by chopper. No chairs, umbrellas, or anything that can be used as a weapon will be allowed in. You will either donate the stuff to charity in a bin or take it back to your car. 590,000 people in one place has the security folk real nervous. Should be an awesome concert! diverlady July 11th, 2003, 02:44 PM I also hear that blankets aren't allowed. The fear is that people will use them to bounce people on. I think they are going to review that. And bottled water is allowed but will be opened by security. Reason behind that is a thrown full water bottle could injure a musician if thrown on stage. Have fun! Diverlady cobaltbabe July 11th, 2003, 02:57 PM Ontario_Diver and I are going. Should be a blast. SneakyB'tard July 18th, 2003, 05:35 PM 4 of us are going too staying at the comfort on norfinch cobaltbabe July 18th, 2003, 05:46 PM SneakyB'tard once bubbled... 4 of us are going too staying at the comfort on norfinch Heck if things get as wild as they are suppose to be we will all be camping in the park. WooHoo. Keep an eye out for me. ;) It's like saying, "Your from Canada? Do you know blah blah from WaWa?" Ya right. Rock on. cat July 18th, 2003, 05:53 PM If I could figure out how to get a ticket. It's a little tricky up here... (The A&P is sold out of thier tickets) Suggestions? SneakyB'tard July 18th, 2003, 05:53 PM Cool, We will be the drunk ones drinking "water" singing loudly. maybe wearing Canada oriented shirts.....we should stick out. cobaltbabe July 18th, 2003, 05:58 PM SneakyB'tard once bubbled... Cool, We will be the drunk ones drinking "water" singing loudly. maybe wearing Canada oriented shirts.....we should stick out. the brunette sitting on Ontario Divers shoulders topless. ;) pufferfish July 18th, 2003, 06:00 PM Cat, You can either call these guys or just order online with your CC. My tickets arrived by mail in five days. www.ticketmaster.ca taz22 July 18th, 2003, 06:39 PM Here's a look at the front of the shirt our Stones Fan Club members will be wearing. Note.....my will have Taz printed on the right sleeve! cobaltbabe July 18th, 2003, 06:45 PM Love that shirt Taz. taz22 July 18th, 2003, 06:59 PM and this is the back of the short....we have approx 250 members going...so it is possible you might see on of us! taz22 July 18th, 2003, 07:12 PM To gove you an idea of the set list the stones might play...here is the set list from the Skydome concert last October... Brown Sugar It's Only Rock 'n' Roll Start Me Up Don't Stop Tumbling Dice Shattered Angie You Can't Always Get what You Want Midnight Rambler Love Train – O’Jays Cover Intros Keith Set Slipping Away You Don't Have To Mean It Sympathy for the Devil When the Whip Comes Down Little Red Rooster You Got Me Rocking Gimme Shelter HonkyTonk Women Street Fighting Man Jumping jack Flash Encore-- Satisfaction Scuba Duffer July 19th, 2003, 08:32 PM pufferfish once bubbled... The site will be a no fly zone 48 hours before. Not even the Stones will be able to come in by chopper. Uh, no it won't. The airspace above Downsview is right on the approach for Pearson Airport. I can assure you we are not shutting Pearson Down, and if the Stones want to go in by chopper, believe me, they will. taz22 July 31st, 2003, 09:41 AM Good day all! To those who didn't get a chance to make the concert you missed a great one! Most of the acts were great Ac/Dc, Rush, The Guess Who and ofcourse my beloved Rolling Stones gave us our money worth. The Stones were a great to see again and it was nice that they played "Nearness of You" which I have seen live over the course of the 20 Stones concerts I have been to. The only disapointment was Justin Timberlake joining the Stones on "Miss You" that sucked! Toronto rocked and it was a party! PS: Sorry Cat...didn't make the connection...my fault forgot to take your cell # with me on Tuesday night. Cheers, Taz! Spectre July 31st, 2003, 09:48 AM taz22 once bubbled... Ac/Dc, Rush, AHH!!! Damn. I might have called in sick for a few days if I knew they were playing! ;) pufferfish July 31st, 2003, 10:38 AM Tazz that was one great party. I must say I was a little concerned about the crowd size, but not a problem at all. The boys in blue were great and although a heavy presence outside the area I think I saw one the whole night in the crowd. Angus Young from AC/DC stole the show, Getty Lee hasn't changed since my younger days, and well Mick is just Mick but Keith Richards really seemed to be having fun out there and I thought he got quite emotional when he started to reminisce about TO. A bit of water under that bridge between Keith and TO. All in all for $21 bucks Canadian that was the best deal of the summer. taz22 July 31st, 2003, 11:01 AM pufferfish once bubbled... Keith Richards really seemed to be having fun out there and I thought he got quite emotional when he started to reminisce about TO. A bit of water under that bridge between Keith and TO. I got the chance to meet Keith last summer during the time they were in TO preparing for the tour. He was at my cousins whom he had meant when my cousin owned a bar on the island of Montserrat back when the Stones recorded Steel Wheels. Keith is a really nice guy and he loves Toronto. In fact, since he lives in Connectivut most of the year he travels to TO 2 to 3 times a year to visit friends. I was glad to seem him do "Happy" but would have preferred that he would have done 'Before They Make Me Run". But heck! It was a party and I'm just glad that I got the chance to participate in Canadian Rock History. The logistics worked out quite well, the organizers should be congratulated for a wonderful job! deep_ocean July 31st, 2003, 12:37 PM Great show. Amazingly polite and patient people. I'm so glad we decided to go after all (my wifes is 4 months pregnant so we were having some doubts ;-) I hope it gave T.O. enough exposure to bring back the bussiness. deep_ocean cobaltbabe August 1st, 2003, 04:22 PM Incredible. I wasn't a fan of AC/DC fan but I am now. What a party. WoooHooo Boogie711 August 1st, 2003, 07:38 PM The real questions all of us have is: a) Did you get any topless shoulder sitting time in? and b) Do you have pictures? :D taz22 August 1st, 2003, 07:46 PM Boogie711 once bubbled...

The real questions all of us have is: a) Did you get any topless shoulder sitting time in? and b) Do you have pictures? :D Saw a few few topless ladies..but didn't get any shots of them. You'll have to settle for these two pics, one of the crowd and one of the stage. cobaltbabe August 1st, 2003, 07:51 PM Boogie711 once bubbled... The real questions all of us have is: a) Did you get any topless shoulder sitting time in? and b) Do you have pictures? :D I didn't do any topless time. There is just no way I could compete with the absolutely stunning younger women that were there. Yes I do talk a good game. I did wear my lephard skin bikini though. Pictures? No I don't like having my picture taken. The camera just doesn't love me. Boogie711 August 1st, 2003, 11:58 PM It's a well known fact that all Canadian Scuba-diving women are babes. That's it, that's all. cobaltbabe August 4th, 2003, 04:54 PM Boogie711 once bubbled... It's a well known fact that all Canadian Scuba-diving women are babes. That's it, that's all. Maybe some of them. I just don't like camera's and honestly they don't like me. You've seen my picture with OD. Trixter August 4th, 2003, 05:07 PM It was kind of hilarious the next day here at work. All we had to do to find who went to the stones concert, was to look for all of the sunburned faces! It was quite a show from what I hear. Mind you Keith Richards has done it again. From all accounts, he was going to do a song dedicated to all the people who died from SARS, then when he went to dedicate the tune(no idea which one, as I am not a Stones fan.) He said something that really did not make any sense. Something along the lines of, "Here's to everyone that took the hit." Hope everyone who went had a good time!!

Everyone was baked and the party I was with didn't get anything but a tan. And yes we were in the sun. Brockvegas August 5th, 2003, 11:22 AM Somehow, we managed to be around everyone that snuck one in. 50' in front of 302..sweet spot, unless you had to get pizza or go potty. cobaltbabe August 5th, 2003, 05:35 PM Brockvegas once bubbled...
