Have a blast in the great city of Chicago!- one note- I was in Chicago last year around this same time to see "The Wall" at Wrigley. We loved the city but on Saturday night, there were 100s of young people running through the streets- some were wreaking havoc on people in the area. We stayed neer Lake Shore Drive and noticed extra police activity prior to the "wilding" as it is called by some. All I am saying is be ware of this activitiy. Otherwise Chicago is a great city to see a show. A lot of history, GREAT restaurants, and cool stuff to do.Looking forward to the reviews. Boston show is 2 weeks away and I cannot wait.

Sheryl crow???

sure seems like it.

From Twitter:

Tonight in Chicago our special guest will be Sheryl Crow!

would not be the first time Sheryl Crow plays with them i think this will be like her fourth time or something

I wonder why they bother to have these guest. it cannot put more asses in seats nor sell more swag. It ain't for the music.

i cannot believe the stones keep shoving sheryl crow down our throats. i'm seriously ill.

Several videos on YouTube of her guesting on Honky Tonk Women - and after the tweet it might be that.

Hope it isn't this - at least not if they do it as stodgily as Sheryl Crow's band does here:

If it's Sheryl, does that mean Lance is going to be there too? Maybe Lance will chip in on a number? Who knows? Too windy in Chicago for cycling though, isn't it?

Is this now the de facto Lance Armstrong thread?

Sure U! BV would appreciate that now, wouldn't he?

ohno, not sheryll agin !!!

Very disappointing. I'm sure she will do fine but what a waste. Mick Taylor or someone worth while. No bluesmen available in this whole town???

I like Sheryl but this version just does not swing. Stodgy is the right word.

Nah, it's common knowledge on this forum that Chuck is to blame

Its just a curious fact that every time they sound crappy on this tour or the last, or even the one before that...Chuck is always right there smiling like he farted...

There could be a connection, if it smells really bad...

I heard a rumour Al Bundy has tickets to the tongue pit. Can someone please confirm this later on?

Hum...what is she going to sing on? Hope it's on HTW and not on Sway (if it "wins" the "vote") and no Taylor...wow that would suck to no end!

I HOPE she sings on Let It Bleed, but if I were a betting man I'd say HTW. See you all at the Goat!
