Still in shock that they're skipping MSG.. I know, they played New York, but historically they never skip NYC- the Garden.

New York was completely skipped in 1999 for No Security. The closest places they played were Hartford and Philadelphia.

My money's on May13th in Vegas (although hopes lessened by the fact that MGM's site bill's the 11th as a "one night only" concert...

Or..May 22nd or 23rd in Vancouver. Like Montreal, Vancouver was widely speculated
and would sell out quick...

I'm liking the chances of Vancouver better.. either way would be a go for me.

Good lord don`t say that...I gave up, and I just spent my discretionary money on the BOND 50 Blu Ray set!

Probably a wise choicedrinking smiley

It is amazing. It has over 120 hours of special features. That doesn`t include the actual movies. I`ll be watching this stuff for years!

On the first disc, for Dr. No, some of the extra`s include footage of all of the world premiere events. Fantastic stuff. I`m just barely getting into it but if your a Bond aficionado it`s pretty amazing.

Treac, that Bond 50 disc set, is it only in Blu Ray? What did it cost?

No, in DVD as well, but if you're going to spend the money anyway, go all the way I say.

Done and ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL job in restoration. There is actually a vignette in the first disc on the process. Fantastic. Dr. No looks like it was filmed yesterday and I'm only minorly giving you hyperbole...it's truly stunning.

The rub is that it is around $250 plus sales tax for all the discs (except missing the last movie, Skyfall but there is a placeholder for it.

HOWEVER, I purchased on Amazon.co.uk, for 65 GBPs when it when on sale so about $110 including delivery, no sales tax! I think it's a bit more than that now.

All the discs are 'region free' with the exception of Quantum of Solace, which is encoded for the Euro zone. I don't have an 'all region' blu ray player but was able to rationalize that saving almost $200 was worth it (plus Solace has to be the worst movie in the entire franchise, so no loss).

Here is the listing...

[www.amazon.co.uk]

if you're not from UK, they take something like 20% off in the basket, just before you go to the final pay screen. It's a bit more than when I purchased it, but still a good deal I think.

Good luck with it!

I don't have a Blu Ray player, so I'll have to go with the DVD, but thanks for the low-down. Sounds like a great release. One hundred and twenty hours plus the featured movies of entertainment, and to think, you could pay the same amount for just 2 hours with The Stones. I think you made the right financial choice as well!

I'm not certain but the huge volume of extras might not come on the DVD version...just double check that!

Vancouver would seem to be an omission, but might have conflicts with the NHL, so Seattle might be better.

Or they could just do a Vegas residency...'Now Appearing on the Strip: Cher, Wayne Newton, Don Rickles and those crazy Rolling Stones'. Maybe add a Cirque Du Soleil component? No need to tour. Rich old people could just go to see them.

MSG?

As an additive I think it's best avoided...although it does enhance the flavour of food.

Hartford did have a billboard!!! I was surprised that Hartford was not on orginal tour list. Then never announced?
