PS. Strange. I was in Vancouver Dec. 1994 to see the Stones at BC Place. NHL on strike (from my memory). Then 2005: Stones rumoured for GM Place, Vancouver, which was built arount that time I think. Again, NHL on strike. I hope they (NHL) will be on for the fall. Always great to see ice hockey back to back with Stones shows. As my cab driver said in 1994 on the way from the airport: There's no life withouth ice hockey in Vancouver...
