Of All The Places In The USA The Stones Could Have Played.....

why did they have to land in crappy New Jersey? I can think of 50 better places in the snap of a finger.

Like Buffalo or 49 other states.

But really, how about Boston, NYC, Chicago, LA, etc...

or San Diego, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Miami, New Orleans...

But don't forget, with their ticket prices for these shows it doesn't matter where they play. It may as well be on the Moon.

I've been swamped with work for the last 48 hours..so I come here seeking solace & read THE NEWS.
But not to go all Pollyanna but at least they're touring. Even if the tix are incredibly expensive, the venue is Newark, the date is too close to XMAS, and this announcement is after I spent my meager disposable income on tix to Neil... OK - I have to stop this...I'm starting to spiral down to that dark place...cool smiley

No, you are just being real... if you want see the dark place.... it can be found all over this board. You are a bright light.

I am happy that they feel like they are still up to this, that really does make me happy... and I am happy that I have seen them 30 times, and I am lucky enough that, most every show I attended, they played it great. I guess (reading on IORR) that over time they actually have played some bad shows... but I was lucky enough to never attend one.... it was all wine and rose and good times for years and years. So I am am happy about about those 2 things.. and Im happy with the new song... and we will just have to wait to see if the world lasts... and they tour next year and if the sun comes out tomorrow.

It's literally a ten minute train ride from Manhattan under the Hudson River to the arena in Newark. For all practical purposes they are playing in NYC.

I'm guessing they couldn't get the New York venues when they wanted, so they did Newark. It's VERY close to New York you know, like 10 miles, technically they're playing New York. The New York Giants don't even play in New York, their stadium is in New Jersey.

Just like when a lot of bands play Philadelphia they often play the Tweeter Center (I think they changed the name recently) which is actually across the river in Camden, New Jersey.

It's a New York venue, that is technically across the border. No big deal. Would MSG or something like that have been more fitting due to the fact it's their 50th Anniversary? Probably. But looking on the MSG website calendar there is a Knicks/Lakers game there on the 13th and a Knicks/Cavaliers game there on the 15th. In fact there is something going on every date (on many days 2-3 things) from November 20 through December 23, that means no MSG gig possible for over a month. I don't know what other large venues (and I mean large, not a club or theater, there are only 4 of the 50th shows, even if more come next year they aren't the 50th Anny) that are actually in the city other than baseball stadiums, which generally are good only for baseball.

I keep thinking of the SNL episode in 1978 with Ed Kotch when he mentions Newark.
Maybe they should give the band a "certificate...of...merit."
What are the band getting? $20 million? Does Newark have $20 million?

I assume they were late at the time of booking and chosing the right spot at a decent day lease in the NY area.

Newark, NJ is right across the river from NYC and the Prudential Center is a relatively new and very nice venue. Just like in the past, shows at Giants Stadium in NJ were considered by many to be NY shows as they were also just across the river from the Big Apple.

You can get a hotel room for 1/2 of what it costs in NYC. You can use the money you save to help pay for a ticket.

If the Stones were to actually announce that these shows were to be the last, it would have been cool to have two shows in London as a tribute to where the band started and two shows in either Chicago, Memphis or St. Louis as a tribute to where their music started.

Peace,

If I do PPV, I can save on the hotel as well. Also the flight, the venue ticket, the hyperinflated booze.

All of a sudden I feel like I fell into a bunch of money!
