Other than living in or near Toronto all my life and not seeing them live until 2003? (Head smack!)Quote

I regret not going to the Toronto concerts in May/June. I was finishing up my last year of high school with no job... but now I've gotten more into the Stones then I was then (I'm 18 so I feel I can be excused) and I likely won't ever get another chance to see them.
They'll be back. Start saving.

1)i went to every tour since 1982, but in 2012/2013 i was so pissed off for ticket prices that i didn't go.
That is not a regret, that is a legitimate complaint.

On page 3 (if I can remember correctly) on the long thread of various Stones with famous folks, there is a picture of Ronnie Wood in the audience at a pool/snooker tournament. I know the Stones, in particular Keith & Ronnie are into shooting pool/playing snooker. I don't know if I ever brought this up in previous posts, but my older brother who is semi-retired from the game, was a world-class pool player in the United States who played professionally during the 1980's and 1990's by the name of Mike Sigel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Sigel). My brother was on Wide World of Sports on several occasions and became the technical advisor on a movie called the Color of Movie in the mid 1980's in which he taught Tom Cruise how to shoot pool.
Anyway, my big regret is that Mike had the opportunity on two occasions to connect with the Stones to play for and/or give a free lesson to Keith and/or Ronnie. The first incident is the one that I remember most which was in 1989 when the Stones were playing at the Convention Center in Atlantic City around the time of the pay per view show. Coincidentally, my brother and a bunch of his cohorts were playing in a nearby pool tournament in Atlantic City. Some of the pool players somehow connected with the Stones organization and my brother and his friends got front-row tickets for one of the Atlantic City shows. Here is the kicker-before show-time, my brother and some of his pool playing buddies were given the go ahead to go backstage and shoot some pool on a table with Ronnie and Keith. My brother-who doesn't really listen to the Stones (and didn't like the show because it was too loud for him) and doesn't think their a big deal-DECLINED-while another fellow pool player went backstage and met the two. Needless to say, my brother never heard the end of it from me (to this day).
