So as I mentioned quickly in my last post, I went to Oslo to see The Rolling Stones!
My dad secretly bought me a ticket and then, while I was still sick, so not even half awake, came into my room and told me that he had a stones ticket for me, and that I could go with them (him and my mum) if I wanted, and of course I said yes!
So the concert was on the 26th, so we drove to Oslo the day before.
We arrived in Oslo late on the 25th, went straight to the only foodplace still open TGI Friday’s and had some lovely food before we went to the pub across the street, some sports bar, I had my a beer with my mum and dad, we then just went to our rooms and slept.
The next day, on the 26th we were up pretty early to catch the breakfest then went out a bit after, and did some shopping (see last post) ate some lovely food, and just walked around in Oslo for a bit..
Here comes the exciting part. THE CONCERT!
We caught a cab and went in after the upwarming band and everything had played, Stones came on at 8:30 and kicked the show off with Jumpin’ jack flash, played a lot of their older stuff, and ended the show with You can’t always get what you want, acompanied by the Edward Greig youth quior, and I can’t get no (satisfaction)
First of all, HOLY FUCK! Where do these guys get the energy from?! Mick Jagger was SKIPPING along on the stage, WHILE HE WAS SINGING! he even spoke some Norwegian, some we understood, some we just kind of laughed at, because it just was not understandable.. hahha! My dad cried throughout the whole show.. it was amazing. like fuck.. amazing.
