Carlos, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Drop "Back Of My Hand" for sure. That was the everloving lu lu of this tour. Spain will get compensated next year. Also the other countries.

We´ll see, hoping tickets are cheaper than US tour now.

Not play enough numbers from A Bigger Bang.

I agree.

They should have played at least six or seven songs.

CSNY proved it could be done when I saw them this summer and they played all but one of the songs from Neil's new album.

I saw BURT BACHARACH do a show a few weeks ago (now there's a blue-haired crowd for you) and HE performed more new material than the Stones did!

If the new stuff is strong, and you sandwich it between hits, the crowd will dig it.

Yeah, didn't that e-mail that the security guard at the stadium in Valladolid read out to us as we were harassing the poor sod for info go something like this if I recall ............. ?

"Dear Valladolid security,

Suggest you take the afternoon off, cos the weather's fine and we're all settled in by the hotel swimming pool here in Madrid, and we can't be shagged to do the show tonight. Please tell the fans I've got laryngitis.

Thanks

Mick J"

Got Mathijs jealous again!! LOL

After more then one year posting what means "LOL" I know that it's means fun/joking but is it an abbreviation ?

18 songs in Halifax last night, I'm sure Hawaii will get at least 17.

Sure, because naturally this was all planned and they really wanted to stick it to the spanish fans.

Come on, hombre, seriously.

Well the design of one or two of the t shirts left a bit to be desired.

I like the BB tour, but id say th worst thing is Micks usinng of the headset.

I'd say drpping 'Back of My Hand' from the setlist. This is suppose to be the ABB tour....and this song ( I saw it played in Ottawa ) was a very enjoyable tune.....much better than having ONNYA and RJ played every night.

They could do SO much better re the T-shirts. Can't believe best-dressed Charlie would even thinking of wearing one. Or Mick. Or the imaginative Mr. Richards.

Oh, poor Calito... You didn't get your money back?! I got my money back a long time ago and I thought the Caixa had paid every Spanish ticket buyer by now. But in this case - blame the Caixa. They sold the tickets and they owe you money. Not the Stones.

Amigo Shidobee,I see you didnt read my text fine, I dont blaming La Caixa, of course I got my money back and the rest of the people. But why they didnt wait until the end of the European tour and reschedule the cities wouldnt have the concerts?
Dont you see it? American dollars amigo. It´s unffair and bad taste, because were their fault, they could do these concerts in Spain, Germany, Croatia, France and others at this time, but they prefered to go to USA, why? we know why. And por favor its no a logistic problem because the satadiums, football leagues over here. If they wanted to come to these cities they´d do it, but they didnt. And many fans are dissapointed and new fans, for sure they wont go any concerts in Spain and other countries.
I understand they were cancelled due to normal and severe reasons, I am not a mooron, but come on! why they didnt wait until begin the Fall US tour to do these concerts in Spain and another European cities.
Michael Cohl,have the answer, and problaby are dollars.
At these age and all these years, why are they so cheap, they are millionaries, you cancelled a lots of concerts?, now its the moments to pay all these fans with a concert, dont you see it Shidobee?

The Fall tour of North America was booked long before Keith's accident.

Trying to re-bok the european dates ( with football going on ) and re-schedule dates in North America and the same time would have been next to impossible given the weather situation etc. Christ.....a outdoor concert in Regina Canada in November would be played in the snow!

Does it suck for some european fans that they could not get a show in their own country? Yes....culd yu have gone to another show in a close by country? hell ya! This month's of bitching isn't gonna change anything....suggest it is time to move on and complain about the weather or some greedy politican.

Da stimme ich voll zu. Aber wenn sie in Dresden - der archetypischen ehemaligen Barockstadt - 15 Song incl. Lady Jane oder Play With Fire spielen, bin ich trotzdem zufrieden. Scheiß auf YCAGWYW... etc. (Wenn sie da überhaupt spielen, aber Hoffnung besteht wohl. Ganz kann ich doch nicht von der verdammten Bande lassen; und wenn dann Keith noch im Regen seine Schiebermütze aufsetzt, ist der Abend sowieso gerettet, selbst wenn sie nur Satisfaction, 10 mal Thief In The Night - das ist Gott sei Dank wohl vorbei - und als Zugabe Brown Sugar spielen würden ;-)))

Sorry, that's too strange to translate.

The Fall US Tour booked before started the European tour?
what are you talking about?
None knew about this Us Tour since a couple weeks ago, probably in August!!
What are you talking about!

A tour has to be booked A Long Long time before it go down.

What are YOU talking about?! Do you think a tour is arranged only a few days before it is announced?

Not by far.It was a highlight in Hartford.

vegas t&a, what a huge artistic mistake.

The worst has to be the three versions of Respectable.They were all far worse than even the 2003 versions.There were some pretty bad takes of Tumbling Dice as well.
