Agreed got a crackup here on that one

I can't believe Milwaukee would be the only destination to get a smaller show...

I hope they come to Philadelphia. missed them the last time they were in town.

And Milwaukee is still bigger than most of 2013 US tour venues.

Man the activity on this thread has calmed down a lot since this afternoon

For anyone in the Columbus, Ohio area, Fox/10 News airing at 10 pm will have an interview with
me on The Rolling Stones and the fans, related to my book! I won't be able to see it--am out of state--
lemme know how it goe, okay? I'm maybe 5 minutes or a little longer.

The interviewer was frustrated with us that the announcement didn't come out. I told him not
to worry, that the Ohio Stadium date was fairly solid. Hope I'm right.

Interview is up on Fox news now. Here's the link...

There are no rules in rock and roll

Heard it through the grapevine - announcement delayed to possibly March 31st.

Aw man... That long? I can't think it would take them that long to sort out the issue

legal or health issue?? (let the speculation begin)

insurance issue?

New Name for Stones Tour:

Just An Insurance Policy Away

I wish I had an e-mail service to alert all IORR members, I probably do, but I need to look into it. Meanwhile, just visit IORR on a regular basis,

Thanks for the thought BV, but I'm glad we get to navigate back here and wade through the crowd to see if there is anything happening yet. It's like scoring dope on the street vs having it delivered. It's Only Rock N' Roll!

On Wednesday night, Nashville, Tenn., TV station WKRN-2 reported that "an issue with the nationwide promoter's ticketing" is shifting the tour announcement to a date later than Thursday. ........... [www.indystar.com]

Perversely, I'm a little glad that it sounds like the Stones are having as good of a time as I usually do when dealing with those jerks!

Time for a new system!

I am starting a new rumour: The announcement is delayed because they are in delicate negotiations with Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman...They want the entire band intact that made Sticky Fingers.

I kind of wonder if the dates are finalized already, or if they are still finishing up with some contracts...still hope for a Seattle or SLC stop?

Just FYO, yesterday night I watched a movie in Emeryville, California (NoCal actually) and 3 or 4 times during the trailers they showed ads about the upcoming Rolling Stones tour...
Now, nobody likes to waste money, it doesn't matter how wealthy one is... also, San Diego is pretty far from the Bay Area and out of an audience of 40K, maybe, MAYBE, 1K could be coming from NoCal...
Now, it doesn't make any financial sense to spend 1000s of advertising dollars (obviously, the ads are not shown only in the theather I've been, but all around the Bay Area) to drive 1K of fans to San Diego.
Therefore, the mysterious date on May 27th or 28th has to be in the Bay Area (Santa Clara or San Francisco).
Also, if the stage is BIG (as somebody else noticed here) also costs are BIG... and nobody would spend $K for freight for one show only in San Diego.
So, LA has to be first (one or two shows around May 20th/22th), then San Diego around May 24th/25th, then SF around May 27th/28th.
Either this or the RS will skip CAlifornia completely!

The mystery date could be Salt Lake City. Bjornulf mentioned SLC and Seattle as possibilities a little while ago. SLC is a lot closer to San Diego than Seattle, so it's possible. What do you think?

As I wrote, whatever the mysterious date is going to be, they would not promote the tour in Emeryville without a show in the Bay Area... it just doesn't make any sense...

Needless to say, I live in Oakland...

Excellent points and this may tie into the reason for the delay. If an early show in a major market isn't tied up nicely yet, it would make sense that they would delay the announcement. Delighted by the possibilities, Santa Clara basically is San Jose and that was on the last tour so San Francisco makes perfect sense.

I agree. And AT&T Park is empty for the end of May. And a lot of June.

Oh crap sorry they aren't! I forgot to check for the obvious baseball game schedule...and it's full nearly every day in May and June. Sorry...

I've just noticed that I've posted something not so consistent... If the RS would skip CA, then they would NOT promote anything at all in Emeryville...
Therefore, California is in, and the Bay Area too...
No doubts about this!
Then, when and where is open to discussion...

Thursday came, Thursday went, and no announcement !!

Yes folks, this can mean only one thing. Those true masters of disasters (AEG) must be involved !!

Echoes of AEG's Rob Hallett and the "will it be this one or will it be that one" seating plan farce for the Stones in Hyde Park 2013 !!

Good luck to all those that are waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting .... and zzz zzz ... and zzz zzz ... and waiting ... and zzz ... and "f**k it all, someone call me & wake me up when something happens" !!

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

And discuss we shall... Well San Diego is already confirmed by BV. A while ago he eliminated Santa Clara. But maybe it's being added after all? The most recent word on West Coast shows from him were when he referenced SLC. Which makes me think that could maybe be a possability for the tour, since it could tie in nicely with the California show(s).

Beside anything else, it looks (maybe I'm wrong...) that we're all stuck with 15 shows in the U.S. total...
But... who said that?
I remember KR saying that "when the ball is rolling..." or similar...
So, why the U.S. Summer tour must have 15 shows only?
Nobody said that!
It can easily have 20+ shows.
Including Seattle, SLC, Denver, etc...
IMHO

Me neither. Thanks for the tip!

Yes, we should all get together and refuse to go to any of their
Cancelled concerts. Solidarity - this will show them!

Darn Tootin' that's right! We gotta draw the line somewhere!

Wasn't there a rumor of them adding a few more shows during the delay?

Well if you want a new thread, start one...that's what the new Topic button is for, don't need bv to hold your hand(s). I do agree that a thread limited to actual tour information would be helpful.

I don't need anyone to "hold my hand(s)".

So, the Stones are looking to play Buffalo on this 2015 tour.

Now.......let's see if this gets placed in with the top sticky!

I tried...............time to give up?

CE

PS. Naturalust - my request was polite and kindly worded. No need for an impolite response.

I booked a hotel in Buffalo - just in case. I live closer to Toronto but I'm not waiting.
