Still the best PR stunt....

[FORD]

So 2 dates in the LA area, and 2 dates in the Bay Area.....

Uh, what about the other half of the West Coast??

Fuck it.... Guess I'll just watch my bootleg of the PayPer View show again.

Looks like there are plenty of gaps of time between " official " dates . I get the feeling they will fill those in as the Stones tour monster gains momentum . Seems like this is the pattern for most recent Stones tours . Announce a few scattered " official " dates to stir up interest and plug in the holes with the highest bidders , logistics not withstanding .
Naturally they will cash in like a sonuvabitch . Trust me when I tell ya I would sell my first born to see this show . Fortunately I don't have kids so I guess multiple trips to the bloodbank will have to do .

Satisfaction! Going to first TO show!

And I gotta say...the Stones fansites' forums (Shidoobee and IORR) SUCK. What a couple of fucking messes.

Brilliant interview with Charlie in today's Guardian newspaper:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/apr/04/charlies-watts-rolling-stones-drummer-interview

He doesn't like playing outdoors 'cos the wind fucks with his cymbals; doesn't want to play Glastonbury 'cos he never liked hippes ...

I know, Charlie. I hate festivals as well, and I'm still in my 40s. What a pain in the arse it must be when you are in your 70s.

And he doesn't have to sit in traffic or in the crowd like the rest of us do!

I always like the post-show fireworks as a diversionary tactic to get the band out of the building.

Showed up way early before the Licks tour show and saw the motorcade come in. That was pretty cool.

All tickets for Hyde Park were sold in less than 3 minutes today...

Fuck. Between £95 and £300...

I'll keep happy with my '69 Hyde Park video.

And to think they played FOR FREE back in the day...

Chicago gets a third show...and today was only the presales.

Gotta check if I can get the day off for the second TO show. Not the first time I've been up and back twice in a week or so.

No shit... as much of a Stones fan as I am, I could never stand more than 5 minutes of those sites. Though IORR used to be a pretty good source of finding bootlegs, but then that got outsourced to a Yahoo e mail list that got corrupted with spammers, so that was the end of that.

Keith documentary in case you missed it.

[FORD]

[twonabomber]

Mick Taylor will be special guesting on the whole tour...

[Matt White]

No Wyman?


I'll still buy the DVD

[FORD]

Wyman didn't even play the NY gigs last year. Apparently he's only interested if he can drive to the gig in his own car.

But then he's 76 years old, so it's not surprising that he doesn't want to travel much.
