The Rolling Stones will play at Slane Castle, Co Meath on Saturday August 18th. I've got my ticket.These days with internet booking concerts can be sold out in a matter of minuets or at least within an hour. When I logged in all the 'cheap'standing only tickets at €85.00 were gone. So I had to opt for the more expensive ones, €136.00 located within the seated area.So I'll be able to rattle my jewllery along with all the others in the 'posh' enclosure.
I first saw the 'Stones, at the same venue on a warm sunny day in July 1982. The Chieftans and George Thorogood palyed support on that memorable day.
Hard to imagine that it's all of 25 years ago, and to think that even back then, the greatest Rock n Roll band were deemed old hat and over the hill. At that stage they'd been around for over 20 years.
But here we are in 2007 . They are still packing them in, and confounding all the critics and maybe medics as they contiune to roll around the globe playing their back catalogue of hits and amassing an even greater fortune.
There's gigs that come on stream and I might think about going and then decide not to bother. For the Stones, it was a case of not having to think, but just get in there, get the ticket at any price and be there on the 18th of August inside the grounds of Lord Henry Mountcharles gaffe to be part of,and witness one the the great legands of modern music and rock n roll.
Myself, the Stones and the rest of us only live once, and what a great time to have lived and still be living in.
I'll have a report of the gig and maybe some photos, if I can smuggle in a decent camera and long lense , shortly after the August concert.
