I will say this, the guy next to me,got kicked out of MSG for smoking weed at Clapton,Winwood, a few years back.. That's just wrong...

It is illegal to smoke in public venues here in the U.S. so why would that surprise you?

I thought you were old school? It's only rock n roll but I like it....

I didn't say it was right just that it does not surprise me. If it was up to me smoking weed would be legal but not ciggy's at concerts.

A point of concern: Sticky Fingers deluxe - Is it in developmental Hell ? I just think it won't be issues this year, or maybe I'm not looking on the bright side.

It will be out soon, and the May thing will be a major part of it of course. But, we are talking about a masterpiece, you don't rush it. In fact you will love it, all it takes is the patience. After 44 years, it is worth the wait.

Festivalforecaster just updated their predictions.

They say theatre shows & festivals to be announced later in April.

Maybe Santa Clara on June 24th & Seattle on the 26th, or vice versa.

Re: tour announcement from NYC which may not be a tour stop - I'd assume the broadcast will be played on many rock stations, and Mick and Keith may or may not be present. Could be recorded or phone conversations. It's a tour of many areas in U.S., so as long as the announcement seems to originate here, it fits with the upcoming tour.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway has just announced a press conference for Tue. morning March 31, regarding a special event this summer at I.M.S.!

I hope this show doesn't become a political hot potato if a boycott Indiana campaign gathers momentum in the next few months.

So NYC may be a tour stop and Mick and Keith may be present ie live for the radio announcement.

Well they went ahead and played Israel last year after the issue about an apartheid state, so what's to stop them from playing Indiana?

Please announce some MSG shows to close the tour. Saw them there for my first Stones show in 75 and living an hour from NYC growing up I saw so many good concerts there. Jethro Tull/Roxy Music, Sly and the Family Stone, ELP, Yes, Queen/ Thin Lizzy etc.....

It is my all time favorite Arena sized venue to see a concert. Amzing vibes and atmosphere IMHO.

It is NOT the same Garden anymore. They took away the rings that allowed people to move around and create magic. They built 2 levels of corporate suites at a lower level pushing the cheaper seats further into the thin air of steel vibration, oh yeah, their is a new bridge on even a higher level with bar stools that look straight down at the ants below. The Garden is OVER! Just like The Beacon when the same family took over that theater and ruined it big time!

Even so, MSG would still be a far far better choice than another stadium show, especially better than the abortion that is Metlife Stadium.

Despite the changes to the venue the Stones have always owned MSG and their shows are not just a concert but an event to be celebrated. Even with the "improvements" the atmosphere in that arena is unlike any I have experienced anywhere else and I have gone to arena shows in many states.

I understand what DREAM is saying as it sucks when they muck with your memories. I had the same reaction when they tore down the old Yankees Stadium to build the new baseball palace in the Bronx as I grew up going to see the Yankees in that old ballpark.

But I for one will do whatever I have to to get floor seats to see the boys should they play MSG again. it is the only place I am willing to overpay to see the Stones these days. <shrugs>

The Stones do not 'own' MSG. That goes to Billy Joel & Elton John and soon U2. Brooklyn is the NEW arena. I still expect them to perform at Forest Hills but those shows will not be announced with the rest of the tour dates.

you guys are obviously not new yorkers. if people can't move you can't have magic no matter how good the band is performing. the old garden was the last one left with older design. brooklyn gives some areas of movement. if they had general admission on the floor then you can have magic. that's the ONLY solution for rock concerts in an arena.

He's talking about how in the old garden you could freely move around the arena -- unlike most arenas -- and how that helped to create a 'smaller" feeling to the building. If you had a seat in the back, you could walk around the circumference of the arena and see a few songs from up close, for example. I guess that's no longer true?

And if the glimmer twins are going to be on the radio at 8:30 am, then it's taped, right?
