Thanks for the Missoula memories Bjornulf. Nice post and great photo, you definitely have an artistic eye with your camera.
Sorry you couldn't find the beer in town you must not have looked that hard, there are about twenty places there brewing their own beer these days and a couple more in the works. Pretty good for a town with a population of 67,000. There will be more people at some of the shows this summer than in the whole town of Missoula.

Can anyone tell me if it would be dangerous for a european like me to travel alone to three or four shows in the US. I was thinking about Nashville, Orlando, Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Are these dangerous cities?

what does it mean that Raleigh might be "swapped" with Santa Clara (or vice versa)? Will there still be shows in each place, just on different dates? Or just that one place gets a show and the other doesn't?

And San Diego, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The view of the harbor from downtown is unlike any other harbor view. It would take a couple of weeks to experience everything San Diego has to offer.

I keep seeing people asking about Mick Taylor and am starting to think that it might be better if he wouldn't be around for this tour. The 50 and counting dates were something else but I don't see the point in having him around in a limited role anymore. I don't want Midnight Rambler to be the "highlight" anymore, the Stones should be able to prove that they do not need MT to amaze us.
Anyways, looking forward to these dates with or without MT. I hope to be able to go to Pittsburgh or Quebec City!

I agree with lots of your comment, but the $85s were not offered at the beginning of the 2013 tour.
$85 tickets were offered on the inital April 8, 2013 onsale date - [www.iorr.org]

Hmm...Personally, I'd love to have Mick around again. It is my hope that the 50 and counting dates were a trial period, and that the rumors of them doing Sticky Fingers in its entirety would make more sense if the guitarist who contributed many of the leads on that album were actually part of the live show. Again, that's just my hope, but I think it makes sense, right?

I agree- there is no rhyme or reason of the venues chosen for this tour. Example. I saw the Stones in Ralegh during the VooDoo Lounge Tour in 1994?. It was maybe a monday night. Anyway , the night before Ian .. had passed away days before. The show was shortened and the mood was dampened. Keith wanted to keep playing and Mick pulled them away. THAT IS A FACT
A couple of years later 1998? I caught them in Charlotte at Panther Stadium and damn they rocked the house.
Stadium shows are subjective and simply a bad deal overall. Concerts were made to be played indoors. If cocert is performed before an intimate amphithehater setting - it can be magical.

Vanderbilt Stadium is on the campus of Vanderbilt University - which is a prestigious university - kind of a Southern Ivy League.

They should announce this tour schedule on April 1st as it's an "April Fools" joke. IT's unlikely they'll fill stadiums in such small market cities. The Stones are avoiding the entire East Coast of the country. Boston, New York, Philly, Baltimore that's where the money and a good part of their fan base is. Maybe Mick Taylor decided he didn't want to spend his summer in Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee and declined the tour. Whatever the reasoning they are misguided, an organization that usually gets things right is marching off in a whimper, avoiding Vegas, LA as well... Only conclusion they must not think very much of their show.

I would love it if they do GA for the stadium dates in the US. All stadium concerts I have ever been to were in Europe where it's always GA and I was always able to get very close to the stage with a bit of patience and without breaking the bank!
Actually seeing the pics of Pittsburgh stadium a bit further up the thread this is my only fear, I don't think I could afford good seats and if I would end up high up in a stadium I am not sure if I will go. The festival in Quebec might be a better option then.

It's a shame New England is bypassed this tour.
