Anyone else heading for the pit tonight?

The Chicago Blackhawks hockey team won last night vs Detroit and are now up for a final game number 7 home at the United Center tomorrow Wednesday. Mick is bound to make a comment on it during the show tonight!

If you need a couple of $85 tickets for tonight, there is someone selling two for face value: it's on another thread-

Are you saying that the whole stage will be disassembled for the hockey game and asembled again for the friday and monday shows ?

Roger (Barcelona)

Yes. It is not unusual that the stage is taken down between shows. It takes just a few hours to take it down, or to build it up. The same might happen in Boston.

I wonder why there has been no audience choice voting for this show?

We are leaving for Chicago this morning! Can't wait to kick it with fellow fans! There is a pint of Stone IPA waiting for me at the Ogden!

What about a debut of "2120 South Michigan Avanue"...?

I have my guts that people are going to have a special show tonight. In a way it all began there...

So have a great night there, people!

What odds of Love In Vain finally getting a run in Chicago?

Just a few hours to take it down. Really stupid. I should be more sensible to get for example on May 28 a show in Pittsburg and later the 2 gigs in Chicago. Just my idea!

I will be in the PIT with a multicolore shirt and a jacket US TOUR 72. Hope to meet a lot of IORR fans!

They might have to take the stage down again after show 2. If the Blackhawks win Game 7, they'll probably be playing Game 1 of the conference finals on Sat/Sun.

And that is what everyone in Chicago are looking forward to, right?

Have a great time you all

I thought you bought them ???

Keep On Rolling

Drove past the United Center this morning to see if there was anything going on. Saw a fleet of trucks parked in 1 of the far parking lots so it would appear as if everything is all set up. Still no sign of a fan-vote song on the official website or app. As previously mentioned in another post, I think Chicago could be in for quite a ride tonight. My guess is Buddy Guy will be the special guest. I certainly wouldn't complain if they played "Champagne & Reefer" but I'd love to hear them dust off "Mannish Boy." Here's to an amazing show tonight!

I think they should play "sweet home chicago"
nada ........but I'd love to see them do a set like El Mocambo.
Hoping to meet up with a few others.
Anyone from DC coming?

BV, I am a new user to the forums here. Thanks for all the updates and info you have shared. I am attending the Friday night show in Chicago so I am very interested in all the updates for tonight's show. Rock On!

Welcome! Chicago has such great audiences I know you will have a wonderful time.

Re "Sweet Home Chicago," they'd be crazy not to play THAT SONG!

A tweet from GRRRegory:

"The special guest for tonight's Chicago #Stones50 show has played with the band a few times"

I'll be there for the show on the 31st! Can't wait to hear the reviews fronm the first Chicago show.

Hmmm.... John Meyer then

muddy waters & howlin' wolf - both from chicago ...

From GRRRegory again:

"The guest first played on the same bill as the Stones in 1969"

Same bill as 1969 ... so it would probably be BB King or Chuck Berry? Doubt it would be Tina Turner.
