I'm not sure why everyone is pumped up about mega festivals, these places are even worse than stadiums to catch a show right? I mean if it pumps up their ego to play Glastonbury enough to play other shows, fine, but that's it.

@bv - yeah they're old, but they've always maintained the illusion that they weren't, look at Mick at the Trabendo or the O2, he behaved like he was about 35...or less! Also they said, at least Mick did that they would never announce a farewell tour...I think that's why everyone has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that it's going to stop sooner rather than later...

Festivals are the worst. Never again.

festivals suck because you are confined to one stinky smelly place ,traffic usual sucks because it's one way in one way out .crap food ,long lines for concessions ,bathrooms etc. the only way to tolerate this is if you are blasted on something and that gets old after awile also .

I can't imagine that the Stones' last show ever would be anywhere but in London. There were quite a few years where I thought I was already at that "very last show" in August of 2007 but they surprised me and came back for their 50th anniversary. I was lucky enough to attend the two Newark shows last December but now it's 2013, L.A. and Vegas are looming and I for one can't wait!

If you divide 500 dollars with 8 years it is 60 dollars per year. If you can't afford 60 dollars per year to see the Stones live one more time in your life then I am sorry. But please do NOT spread your economical frustrations about ticket prices or life in general here. It is not interesting.


Wow! Just divide the years they have been off the road with the current price of a ticket and you have a yardstick as to what it should be worth to you! Why didn't I think of that? 5 years = 60 months = 260 weeks = $500.00 = $1.92 per week!

WHO CAN'T AFFORD $1.92 PER WEEK? WHAT ARE YOU, CHEAP?

Sounds good in theory, but the problem with setting aside a couple of dollars every week for a Rolling Stones ticket fund is that as soon as I have a certain amount saved up, I blow it on a hooker.

There will be a band meeting very shortly (in March). But yesterday, I was told HERE that BV said the band meeting had already taken place just before Ronnie had tea at the Savoy with some big-wigs.

For the life of me, I'm unable to find where that info is posted!!

Would some kind soul provide the link to where BV (or whomever) CONFIRMED that the band meeting took place already?

Keith, Ronnie and Bill were in London, but where were Mick and Charlie? (Were they kicked out of the band meeting?)

Many thanks,
CE

Page 5 of this thread. Look for NedKellyBandit's post.
He speaks about the German fans who met Ronnie for tea and Ronnie talked to (at least) one of them.

Spanish newspaper "El Periodico" from Barcelona tells about the possibility of a Stones show in a brand new festival sponsored by the powerful WORLD MOBILE CONGRESS, the biggest congress in the world about mobile technologies, IN BARCELONA FROM SEPTEMBER 13 - 15.

Anyone traslating it to English??

Keith is also in London (see the photos in front of Le Petit Maison Restaurant). A meeting would be possible. Maybe Ulli (one of the fans who had tea with Ronnie) is right and it already took place. Today is the first of march. Maybe in the next weeks. We don't know. But everything is possible.
