Tell Me :

Wow!
the chicago gigs - checkerboard and buddy guys - were both mid-tour, when they were in chicago.
OK cool No more help........Sorry it offended you.
Toronto or Chicago? Kinda confusing to have to choose one or the other
No better place for a club show than Chicago.
They don't want any help. So, my lips are sealed.
Apart from a surprise show, club gigs in the middle of touring: for example Circus Krone Munich, 8th June 2003 or Olympia Paris, 11th July 2003 and other [www.iorr.org] .

neither of which were secret gigs in the true sense but there was also the quiet knight with Muddy
and i was lucky enough to catch the pop in at kingston mines in '78
where mick had a bad case of the sniffles *wink*
Doesn't necessarily have to be happening tonight. Could be Saturday or Sunday. Maybe even Tuesday.
My money is on Saturday as it would give mick a days rest before the next show. Tuesday would work as well. Good dart to the blues fest week in chicago

Rolling Stones to play a secret show in Chicago?

The Rolling Stones have been playing arenas since the band members were twentysomethings. But occasionally, Mick, Keef and company like to pretend they're a shaggy juke-joint act. With the Stones rolling into town for a whole week to play three concerts at the United Center, including tonight's performance, could the band have a secret club show up its sleeve?
The Stones have a history of playing surprise gigs in intimate settings; the band kicked off its 50 & Counting tour in late April with a 90-minute set at L.A.'s 700 capacity EchoPlex, a $20-per-ticket show announced day-of on Twitter via @RollingStones. Last October, the band sold 350 tickets at 20 bucks a pop for Le Trabendo, another 700-person venue. Again, the show was publicized on Twitter.
Another line of reasoning: The Stones seem to have a particular affection for hush-hush shows in Chicago. During a three-night stand at the Rosemont Horizon (now the Allstate Arena) in November 1981 on the Tattoo You tour, Mick, Keith and Ronnie Wood dropped by the old Checkerboard Lounge to jam with Muddy Waters and a host of other local bluesmen, including Buddy Guy. (I wouldn't be surprised to see Guy taking a solo on "Midnight Rambler" at the United Center. Chicago harmonica master Sugar Blue, whose playing can be heard on "Miss You," should also get an invite.)
Perhaps the most vivid Stones memory for Chicagoans: In '97, days before kicking off the Bridges to Babylon tour at Soldier Field, the Stones played a last-minute gig at Double Door for about 400 lucky fans and music industry folk, including Billy Corgan and Liz Phair. (Video below.) A wristband, which granted its wearer entry to the club, was $7.
Could history repeat? Double Door's lineup for the week the Stones are in town is curious: nothing booked Saturday or Sunday. Reached by phone today, a venue employee said a "private event" is booked for Saturday. (A 50th bandiversary party? I wondered.) The person assured me the event isn't Stones related.
If not Double Door, then where? Capacity-wise, a good bet is Bottom Lounge. A stone's throw from the United Center, it holds 700, same as the venues of the L.A. and Paris club gigs. It also has gaps in its schedule over the next week. In any case, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled to the Stones' Twitter feed.

buddy guy is also notorious for pumping the stones' presence to drum up business. in '89 there were such rumors and we spent a great evening at his club (which i recommend). every 10 or 15 minutes he would mention something about "you never know who you might see here tonight". finally around 1am Woody walked in, sat in the VIP section for about 15-30 minutes and listened and drank, and then left. part of the fun is you never know for sure what will happen!

If Mick still won't do 2 nights of full shows in a row, then there is no room in the schedule for a Chicago club show. The only days available for the remainder of the North American tour where a show could be added is on June 16, between Boston and Philadelphia, or on June 26 or 27 after Washington, but those dates are too close to Glastonbury to be used for shows.

Club shows, including doubledoor, have always been a final warmup before a new tour starts, like in Paris for the Grrr tour. Have they ever done a surprise club gig in the middle of touring?

Deleted by Cocaine Eyes. You guys don't need any help with the private gig. If there is one.

Hello all. This is the first time I have posted on this board with information from behind the scenes. I live in chicago and know someone "in the know" in the Buddy Guy camp. I've heard there is a disagreement between Buddy and the Stones camp on what Buddy would be paid to open one of their remaining Chicago shows. As of now, Buddy is not interested and I would doubt the Stones would play at his club. I would get into more detail but I do not want to get anyone in trouble.
Again, this is from a very legit source. It could turn out to be wrong, but this is what I am hearing.
