In fact, the event was so once-in-a-lifetime (I mean, what other rock & roll band is still together after 50 years?!?!) that hubby decided to get seats quite close to the stage. What a thrill! With the zoom lens of my new Canon camera, the concert was an up-close-and-personal experience I will never forget.
It was also a Pay Per View special, which meant there were lots of 'special guests' playing on classic Rolling Stones songs. Take a look!

As I mentioned, the
event was available on Pay Per View, but for a Rolling Stones fan, there was
nothing like being there in the audience in person! It was an experience I'll never, ever forget.
How about you? Is there one band you'd be thrilled to see perform live? Or already have??

Very cool, Jenna!
Okay, so I officially hate you now! LOL What a dream come true.
Wow! You were SO close to the stage. That is awesome. I saw the Rolling Stones a *long* time ago and remember it being a great concert.
Fantastic, Leigh. That must have been a fun and amazing event. some of my favorite singers in those photos. : )
I'm also a huge Stones fan and got to see them in L.A. many years ago (late eighties, I believe) and I've never, ever forgotten the event. : )
Oh wow! That's a thrill to see all those mega stars up close and personal!! I love when "stars" drop in on the their friends concerts. Very cool!
Lucky you! I'm sure it was awesome.
Now a note about you, and I mean this in the best possible way. Whenever I read an erotic novel, I have an image of the author in my mind. IDK why, but I do. You, my dear, look nothing like I imagined. LOL You look like a saint! See, you gotta watch those quiet ones. :-)
Thanks, everyone, for your comments! Yes, it was a thrill for me to be thisclose to the stage, LOL!
And Carolyn -- it was a big decision for me to post that photo of myself, because the reaction I usually get is "You write WHAT?!?" Usually people peg me for a schoolteacher, LOL. But I'm so thrilled with that photo that I wanted to share it!
Thanks,
Jenna
Okay, seeing the Rolling Stones in concert, with special guest appearances by Gaga, John & Bruce? That, my friend, is a pretty good weekend! Loved the pics!
I think the last concert I went to was Super Diamond at the Hollywood Bowl. Fun, and all, but not as epic as the Stones.
Lucky you! I have a thing for Keith Richards ever since reading his biography. An amazing band.
Hi Jenna!
I loved seeing your pictures. What a kick, and I must say, Mick still looks pretty good.
I have been lucky to see Michael Buble recently, and a few years back, Van Morrison. I can't afford to see all the groups I'd like to.
Lucky you.
Looks like a fabulous time. I'm not a big fan of concerts, mostly because they leave me with a three-day pounding headache. Can't take the noise unless it's in an outdoor setting. That said, given the opportunity, there are some I'd still pay to see and then live through the post-fun pain.
I'm so jealous! I can't remember the last concert I went to, but I would have loved to been at this one.
Great pics, Jenna! Looks like you had a terrific night.
Oh, and I just bought Snow White and Her Seven Lovers - couldn't resist the title :)
Love! The Stones are my all-time favorite band. I've seen them three times, and I have every intention of seeing them when they come to L.A. this year for their 50th. Hope we can snag some good seats like you! Looks like you had a great time.
Hmm, don't know why my comment went in as anonymous...it's me!
Wow. What a great experience!
Thanks everyone for your comments. The concert was definitely a night I'll remember... forever!
