That's surprising. Ive never been there but I've always thought of that as a very working class kind of town. and a place where people like R n R. that's where the hall of fame is.

Interesting comments. I would think the Green Bay Packers are a good example of what you are speaking of here. Augusta, Georgia has the Masters golf tournament once a year but must be a pretty quiet place the rest of the year I suspect. Makes sense that there would be a great deal of enthusiasm for the Stones in places where not much is going on most of the time. I heard that the Stones were very well received in Montana on the last tour.
More goin on in Missoula Montana these days than LA, unfortunately. Musically that place has one of the best record stores in the USA, it's HUGE and great called Rockin Rudy's...an old converted bread factory. He's got a whole section devoted to the Stones, boots galore. More than anyplace I've ever seen. Beautiful healthy granola chicks everywhere you look... careful there watchman. I get the feeling you've never been. peace.

Haven't had my coffee yet.
Never thought I'd see my ancestorial home mentioned on IORR...
NOT surprised that it would be Rockman to come up with a reference...
Really surprised that no one has brought up Boulder, Colorado; Rock City, TN; Stone Mtn, GA; or any number of other towns that have similar names.
Peace,
Mr DJA
It's true I haven't been to Montana since I was a kid. The summer of 1963. My grandparents and dad were from East Helena. Nice to hear what is going on in Missoula. Absolutely beautiful state.
Talk about your favorite band.

The fastest sellout on the No Security tour was Sacramento and it was so fast they had to scramble and add a second show as they had so many people still in line ready to buy, so they told everyone to wait and then a second show a few nights later was added, and i was told it was also one if the fastest sellouts- both 15k arena shows.
Best audiences I've seen have been in SF, but I've never seem an MSG show in NYC so I dont count.
All shows I've seen in Europe had more passionate fans, but I think people are more passionate there period.

Philly. Unlike the snobs from NYC - they are real people from a dirty, gritty town that echoes the dirty, gritty sound of the Stones.

I've seen the Stones across the USA. No city doesn't love them...that I'm aware of.
Los Angeles certainly ranks up there with New York and Chicago as a Stones American home base. From the beginning.

I was in the B section opening Babylon night in Chicago, after the bang Keith came out and no one stood up.
I stood up but sat back down since they were people behind me.
Quiet night throughout...
Guess we were just sitting there soaking it all in.
I guess.

Often the dullest cities will have the most enthusiastic sports fans. Because their football team (or whatever sport) is one of the few interests they have. (Like L.A. could care less that they don't have a football team—which they haven't had in years—because there's a lot else going on.) I wonder if there's a similar correlation between cities and fervor for bands. Might not be, though.

Interesting comments. I would think the Green Bay Packers are a good example of what you are speaking of here. Augusta, Georgia has the Masters golf tournament once a year but must be a pretty quiet place the rest of the year I suspect. Makes sense that there would be a great deal of enthusiasm for the Stones in places where not much is going on most of the time. I heard that the Stones were very well received in Montana on the last tour.

More goin on in Missoula Montana these days than LA, unfortunately. Musically that place has one of the best record stores in the USA, it's HUGE and great called Rockin Rudy's...an old converted bread factory. He's got a whole section devoted to the Stones, boots galore. More than anyplace I've ever seen. Beautiful healthy granola chicks everywhere you look... careful there watchman. I get the feeling you've never been. peace.

FT WORTH!!! Of course ever sense that debaucle at Texas Motor Speedway ( I blame that on the promoters-dont know WHAT they were thinking) the band has stayed away. And Dallas dont count in my book...FW is still a better town for fans. FW has REAL fans, Dallas fans spend too much time trying to impress each other. In 05 the woman behind me spent all of her time on the phone "Oh, yeah we're at the Stones concert"....

Whatever city they're playing in on a particular night.
Related question: After a Stones show in Philly, might one get beaten unconscious at Geno's for wearing a Beatles shirt? Given the tremendous insecurity that some Stones fans feel about the Beatles and the way some sports fans in that city behave, I wouldn't be surprised. Read on.

Are you kidding me. When the Stones take the B Stage it's like the British invasion all over again. I guess you havn't seen The Stones live.
