Agreed. Without BV's updates this thread lends itself to BS quite frankly. This is going to be a great fun summer tour. It deserves to be outside in the sweet summer sun!!
I want the Indy tee shirt now….haha
Not necessarily. Taylor is another guitar (and a damn good one at that) who can weave with Keef and Ronnie. He doesn't take away playing time from either, in my mind. Would I expect Ron to play the solo on Miss You and Mick play the solo on CYHMK? You bet. I think he strengthens the sound and adds a piece of the Stones' history back to the puzzle.
Ah, OK.
Already Thursday in far east.>

Big ? I can't imagine it would be very different from the one they slapped together for the Euro 2014 tour since they have nothing "new" to promote and only 15 shows are in the cards. I'd expect giant screens with some type of frame.

If the stage is between turn 3 and turn 4 to maximize the crowd then I may not be going to this show. Looking at the photo (thanks for posting it) does not give you a sense of how big the track it in reality- Indy is BIG.
I'm getting too old for that size of a crowd in an outdoor track but who knows. Maybe I'll wait and see what the weather does on show day.
I was at Churchill Downs and was very lucky because that is the one show on that tour where I bought "on stage" seats that were basically behind the band - but it protected me from the pouring rain and wind. From my vantage point I could see that the dimensions of the venue were not ideal. The stage was outside he track, facing the stands, and there was a huge gap between the stage and the front row because I guess they didn't want people on the track. The seats on the turns were way over to the side - I assume thT's where you were - and must have had terrible sight lines. I think it was a pretty good performance by the Stones, but I think Churchill Downs was an idea that was better on paper than in practice.
The promising thing about Indianapolis is that they have a lot more room to play with, and the track itself, being a hard surface, can probably be used for spectator seating as well. They aren't dealing with the kinds of limitations they had at Churchill Downs. But I agree that once you get outside of standard venues, it's a risk.
interesting, maybe they swap that and atlanta dates, or maybe it all different. Guess we'll know tomorrow
Yeah, I keep posting this video because it's so incredibly persuasive. Here's Mick Taylor "subtracting from the mix" in an epic 14+ minute Midnight Rambler in the rain in Auckland last November.

Yes it is. Kind of helps with the perspective of how huge the place actually is.
I seriously doubt they will allow people on the track surface. First, the turns are significantly banked and old, drunk people would be sure to fall. Second, there is a NASCAR race there 3 weeks after this show and they won't want spills or other damage to the asphalt.

Yes and, by the way, the other large white building is the race museum. You access the "complex" through underground tunnels that take you beneath the track. Drive or walk through while the race are running and it's thunderous.
Actually, the museum is the black roof box of buildings to the right next to the golf course. The other builders are garages, suites, offices, and the famous Pagoda tower for press and entertaining track side.
Also, I agree with the other comments that they won't want anyone on the track surface in the turns. It is steep and difficult to walk on.
My goodness, I am not sure what I said to elicit such a hurtful response. I can assure you I did not intend to offend or upset you. My apologies.

Agreed, the stage for 14 on Fire was no "Voodo Lounge". The 50th anniversary stage was much better. Hopefully they come up with a new name for this tour as well.

I paid 2.59 in NY today but gas is cheaper near the fracking states...I gave Brussels and Love you Live a good listen in my long day of driving. I thought about what I really want as a fan and that is; I hope everybody that wants to, will get their shot seeing them once more. I had my shows, Brooklyn, Boston, Philly, Cutting Room and managed to do it for less than 400 bucks, I don't want to be greedy. I did pick a perfect screen name for my lousy disposition, I love the people's passion here at IORR and don't want to be seen as the guy who wants failure for the band and fans I share this love for the music with..
Well said.
These shows will be amazing and the places for different reasons.The one common denominator though will be the amazing people we will all meet and the amazing music we will all witness... Again.
Perfectly stated MisterDDDD!!!

Nonsense.
I was honestly trying to answer what looked to be a serious reply stating that they really couldn't understand the concept of Taylor detracting from the band.
No snarkiness, no condenscending-ness, just though an honest perspective.
Sheesh.

I have no idea how having Taylor along subtracts from the mix...
It's easy to comprehend if you give it an honest try.
For example, if I give it an honest try, I can totally understand how people would want the Taylor from forty years ago to reclaim his spot, so to speak, with the band.
To do so, of course one of the others would have to give up playing time..
(most likely Ronnie).. For me that's not a trade I'm willing to make.
Think of it this way, if Gary Clark Jr., who has mass guitar skills, was asked to sit in for an entire concert or tour, and the spotlight went to him rather than a Rolling Stone through-out...
I'm sure you can understand the anti-Taylor sentiment, if you try.
Not necessarily. Taylor is another guitar (and a damn good one at that) who can weave with Keef and Ronnie. He doesn't take away playing time from either, in my mind. Would I expect Ron to play the solo on Miss You and Mick play the solo on CYHMK? You bet. I think he strengthens the sound and adds a piece of the Stones' history back to the puzzle.

Although this is a stadium oriented tour, I'm sure every effort will be made to make it fan freindly. At a cost.
Before purchasing any tickets it would be wise (just as the last 40 years) to know Stage configuration,position and stadium dimensions.
We need to know the stage set-up -if anyone knows please chime in.

@flilflam - I was there for the Churchill Downs gig. (Bootlegged it too!) The gig was a blast, but that depended greatly where you were positioned. All of us out in the field had a blast. I was directly under the main PA stacks stage left. Perfect sound, a bit bass-heavy, but loud n clear. I took a buddy who had never seen them before and he was easily converted. Other friends had tickets all of ther place and most had a great time. A few folks were far off to the sides and I heard terrible things about the sound. Sorry to hear about your experience!
Regarding Indy and the stage placement... the stage will be BETWEEN turn 3 and 4.
If the stage is between turn 3 and turn 4 to maximize the crowd then I may not be going to this show. Looking at the photo (thanks for posting it) does not give you a sense of how big the track it in reality- Indy is BIG.

In 2006, we went to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky to see the Stones perform on the moving stage. The stage was located in the middle of this venue for horse racing. Looking to save money, we bought tickets just outside the further end of the location where the horses must make a sharp turn. It was the worst time I have ever had at a Stones concert.
We were only barely able to see the Stones and the stage from our seats. The volume was far too low, and the screen in front of us was undersized and about 100 yards away from us. The acoustics were lousy. Because Churchill Downs was unaccustomed to such large crowds, portable toilets were erected in the mud, and there were not nearly enough of them. The police seemed confused in how to deal with the huge numbers of people. On top of that, it rained hard for about half the concert. But weather is not the issue here. It was the way the seating was botched together to make seating for a rock concert. If there were others at this concert in 2006, please weigh in.
I am not trying to be negative about this great concert coming up. I would only advise that you get seats as close to the Stones as you can. If you cannot, you may want to go to a concert near Indy.
I was at Churchill Downs and was very lucky because that is the one show on that tour where I bought "on stage" seats that were basically behind the band - but it protected me from the pouring rain and wind.

Nashville would be a great concert because everyone knows that the setlist would include country flavor. I was also thinking that Milwaukee would be a cool place to see the Stones.
In any event I need to know if Raleigh is in play (Go Wolfpack) and if Orlando is on june 12 (Fri) or June (13) Sat...

Regarding Indy, if they do it at IMS I believe the stage will be in turn 4, not turn 3 like some are hearing. Turn 4 is where they do the Carb day concert and Legends day concerts now before the Indy 500. Last year Jason Aldean had almost 50,000 people there and it went very well. If they do it in turn 3, that eliminates a lot of the close by parking that is great at IMS. For those concerts it was mostly GA, with pit passes as well, along with some temporary bleacher type seats close and to the sides of the stages for people to sit. The red X in the pic is where the stage was and the arrow the way it faces.
Actually, the museum is the black roof box of buildings to the right next to the golf course. The other builders are garages, suites, offices, and the famous Pagoda tower for press and entertaining track side.
Also, I agree with the other comments that they won't want anyone on the track surface in the turns. It is steep and difficult to walk on.

Re: Nashville - U2 played Vanderbilt Stadium back in 2011 and we drank plenty of booze! So perhaps they've relaxed that rule.
Issue is, Nashville has grown A LOT in the last few years, with traffic near-impassable in many parts of town most of the time - including and especially Vanderbilt near West End Avenue. Personally I'm glad to see this at LP, even tho it'll be huge - you can actually get in and out of the parking lot over there with 1000s of people. Plus, it's right near downtown, so people will enjoy the Lower Broad experience as well I'm sure.
Just a note: if you're even thinking of traveling to Nash from out of town, reserve a hotel room now now now. That is high tourism season and the rooms will sell out in seconds once the date goes live on local media.
