Yes, I went to Lourdes, bought some Maria kitsch for the fans at home but the gig never took place.
Did they have Maria-tongue edition?
Sort of..
Thats the 'unofficial' reason. The 'official' reason was that Mick had a sore throat (which was probably aggravated by a few days of rehearsals for SAL in the lead-up to the AC gig)

How dare they! I've always thought Townshend should sue over improper use of intellectual property.
Even the W.H.O.'s back catalog is a copycat: "I call that a virus, the worst I ever had", "Meet the new strain, same as the old strain"....
It's enough to make you sick, isn't it?

I still find the reason this show was cancelled suspect. Plane troubles? The day before the show? Wouldn't the stage have already been set up?
Very odd.
my poster of the 1998 show in Marseille that was finally cancelled, just as another one in Lyon.
The poster is a true collector's item.
One copy can be seen at the Disney Studios Paris, in the decor of the Rock n Roller Coaster with Aerosmith

Do you have any memorabilia from the shows that never took place, i.e. tickets, posters, flyers etc. Of course most cancelled shows were during 2006 European tour, but there was also South America 75, Japan 73, Moscow 90 etc.

The one I'd love to have is an original of the cancelled Pembroke Castle concert from Sept 22 73.

Did Moscow 1990 ever actually go on sale? I know it was announced that it would be the last show (scheduled for 12th August or thereabouts) but I dont recall tickets being sold for it.
I did buy tickets for the Dublin show on that tour which was cancelled due to poor sales (and not the 'official' excuse made to save embarrassment, namely some nonsense about not being able to transport their equipment over in time).
Kiev was confirmed for July 2007 when Mick did the webcast to announce the tour dates but it never went on sale and was quietly replaced by a show in Poland. rs.com had a habit around that time of not confirming cancellations, but merely removing slow-selling shows from the schedule as if they never existed, hoping no one would notice. The US tour finale in Honolulu in November 2006 being one example.

I have a huge poster advertising the stones concert in Milano during the 1998 tour. The concert was canceled on the very day of the event. I was told at 7 p.m. while at the bar "preparing for the show"-
Tickets had to be returned to obtain the refund.
It was said that cancellation made the then Italian promoter of the event (David Zard) almost bankrupt since he was not covered by insurance.

Kept my ticket for the cancelled Torino-show on July 29, 1990 and later had it signed by Bobby Keys and Chuck Leavell. Expensive autographs from almost famous guys ;-)

I have a bunch of them, as I have been to most of the cancelled shows over the past 30 years...
Like in 1990 Cardiff, they sold a T-shirt with "I did not get no Satisfaction" (illustration a bandaged "finger"), then the original poster etc.
In Bilbao 1998 I took down the poster on display on the venue, then I went back for another poster, and the very same policeman who saw me take the first one was there still, I realized... It was a sealed off area so I smiled a lot and told him I came all the way from Norway, and that the first one was slightly damaged, which was true.
I Benidorm I never bothered to go from Alicante where I was and up to Benidorm. But I was there. Same with Atlantic City. And Milano 1998 was there.
The T-shirt they sold in Buenos Aires had a Brazil city they cancelled on it : "Porto Alegre".
My basement is full of those items, shows they did and shows they did not do. For me these no-shows are not interesting. Like Valladolid - ok we were there but the Stones never came. Same with El Ejido. At least there they came later. So my great memories are those who happened, not those who do not exist in our showtime memories, even if we were there, some of us...

what a day: I was working in a jewellery show in vicenza-italy but i already asked the permit to leave the show at noon to go to Milano. A friend of mine informed me that the gig was cancelled while I was changing my clothes in the back of the stand.. everybody laughed on me and said the typical irritating things about the age of jagger and the fact that he could not sing anymore...

I've travelled out of state to see many shows. Stones, Who, Bowie, Floyd, Kinks, Petty, Dead, Page w/Black Crowes, Dylan, Neil spring to mind. Fortunately none have been cancelled or postponed. Regarding this subject I have a beautiful Dead poster with a big sunflower for the '95 Fall tour that never happened because Jerry died. I ordered it from GD merchandise that summer of '95. Tried to get another one and they were gone, of course. I wonder what kind of value it may ever have?
