It would be cool for this show to go ahead. I think maybe this time the stones want to play some different/interesting venues, new markets etc. We know that they need to get enthusiastic and they need a reason to tour. Obviously they have the new album, but they also need a new angle maybe, for example, the press asking why are you touring again, the usual bullshit questions from unimaginitive reporters, well this is another reason. They wanna play some new places on this tour. (haha they could play 'New Faces' at these shows, followed by a Faces cover...!! Perhaps not...)
We all know its gonna be hard to top LICKS in terms of the format - stadiums, arenas, club shows, so maybe the thing this time is, as i just said, new places. Like the maritime canada show, the rio beach show, and i saw on the rumoured tour pages a show in israel...
What do you think?
I personally want to see a couple of shows abroad on this tour. Off topic, but I just got tickets to see McCartney in Miami, (by the way the presale he did, as someone else on this board said, was great! No fee, and got floor seats about 13 rows from stage!!) My point is, Macca and stones are touring. Stones tour VERY strongly rumoured to be their last major tour, it makes sense. Macca and stones pushing their mid-sixties: Question is, how long can macca still hit the high notes, how long can mick still run about and give us those amazing front man performances, how long till keiths fingers implode... It's a real shit thing to think about, but it's true. So, i'm gonna spend a bit of money and see these two classic acts a few times on these tours and make the most of what is probably the last MAJOR big venue tours for both of them.
My girlfriend is from Toronto, we are both living in london now, but i would love to see eastern canada, and to see the stones their - Like Bjornulf said, first time venues for the stones are always great!!
Sorry to go on a bit, just putting my thoughts down...
