My understanding would then be : 8 arena shows in the US ( 2 MSG, 2 Boston, 2 LA, 1SF and 1 Vegas) and 1 show ( not 2 as unable to fill it) at London Olympic Stadium on Mick's birthday as a last bow.
phd, do you have any confirmation of this or is it just wishful thinking ?

My guess would be LA, SF, Seattle, Vancouver, and Las Vegas for the west and at least Boston and New York in the east.

This is looking more and more like a farewell tour...it's not like them, I guess they'll keep their options open though. I can understand they wouldn't go for an exhausting tour like before, especially with nothing "new" to offer (I've heard of "surprises" from several sources though) but why only one (or two) date in Europe? If they think they can handle Glastonbury, they could play anywhere else. That can't be right...if the money's "right" there will be more shows in Europe, there are some offers on the table I understand!

Let's see, choices in L.A.......
Staples
Sports arena
Hollywood Bowl (always more expensive for the better seats)
Honda Center (Anaheim)
Home Depot Center (...a stadium, but smaller than most)
Forum? I think is currently under a renovation
...then you have the stadiums....god I hope not!
bv has already said it will be Staples earlier in this thread. It'll be the biggest thing to hit Staples since Michael Jackson's casket.
...he said probably in places like.....
He also said ....
Sure they could have played pubs and bars with no risk, but after 50 years I think they want to do like they did in the past, real great shows, real great stages, real great places (venues) and so on. That's why Las Vegas, Staples, Glastonbury and such places come into play...
That's twice bv has specifically mentioned Staples. That's as good as DONE DEAL, don't ya think?

Staples Center seems like a lock because people out there are used to (have no problem) paying huge money for Lakers games and would probably not blink at paying up to sell out 3-5 Stones shows, especially if they "sell it" as a limited tour.

This will NOT be a 'farewell' tour! I don't care who claims it - BV or StonesDoug or the man in the moon!! Just beause they both run websites, it doesn't mean that know everything!
The 2013 tour will just be the 2013 tour! And, God willing, there will be more!!
Jack will be there FOR SURE.Quote

I (think I) have read, a couple of times over the years, right here on IORR where people here say they saw Jack in both LA and in Vegas dancing around like a mad man at a Stones show. Gotta love it man.Quote

Can't remember the show or what DVD it's on, but there's footage somewhere of Jack talking about attending a Stones concert (VIP seats in a small venue) and almost having a heart attack. Apparently, it was all a little too much for him.

Wonderful,a greatest hits show at ridiculous prices in a barn with crappy sound. No thanks.Quote

I agree it's the odds on favorite.

The farewell tour was 2005-2007. What we're seeing now is the Stones following McCarteny's lead and sporadically playing a few selected shows here and there. Macca's been doing this since 2006 and it's something the Stones might still be able to do for at least several more years. We probably won't know which show is the last show until after it's happened, when, in the natural course of human events, something happens that makes it abundantly clear that there can never be any more Rolling Stones concerts, and that the most recent one was the last one.

A couple of days ago I wrote you an answer in my thread 'Thread "Stones losing sympathy?" was removed...'
But that thread was also removed and cannot be reached again!
You gave hints about Toronto and my reply was that this year again it's a nice place to be when the days get longer...
And that it was also hard for me to decide where to go this spring/summer....Amsterdam, Paris or Barcelona or...I also could go to...going where the water tastes like wine...
jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
yeah I'm going up the country!
So that one was removed... Next thing I see a day later is bv's news about G'bury so he probably wanted to bring the news himself!
You are leaving for the outdoors I guess?
Catch you later milady!

Hi Dreamer!! I was just about to start a thread saying "Hey Dreamer, Where Are You?". Happy to see you here now.
OK, here's the deal:
- I'm leaving for "up North" this Thursday
- shall live there until about end-October
- BUT, I'LL COME BACK TO TORONTO WHEN I NEED TO BE HERE (get what I mean)........waiting for BV to announce it!!
- if I get banned for this, well so be it......it DOES seem that if the info doesn't come from BV, it's dismissed by all and sundry
- there's nothing we insiders can do about that at this site!
- again, if I get banned for this post......I wish you well and I'll be thinking of you (I got banned a few years ago for having a picture of Patti and Keith laying on the grass. Patti was topless but NOTHING was visible!!)
- that's a real shame because I'LL KNOW much info LATER TODAY!
I placed smilies beside your info as a comment!!
PS. WHO ARE INSIDERS? Insiders do NOT have to line up in the rain/fog/snow/heat/cold/sleet to get into a venue. Insiders do NOT shake hands with Ronnie through a car window.
Insiders get right into reharasals by a car/van provided by the Stones!. We KNOW all of the principals. We get info early. We are asked to ONLY hint at venues/private gigs UNTIL the Stones themselves spill the beans. We don't have websites. We DO have some parasites but we are quick to dismiss them. On and on.........
Now........waiting to get banned and for this post to disappear!!
