That's the reality i'm afraid. I'm going for Orlando & Nashville and expect nothing but warhorses and tons of miss you
Well... at least they're being honest.
Haha good one
Tell us more!
My first show is Minneapolis. I guess we will see once they play the San Diego
show.
I am looking forward to San Diego. I don't mind the old war horse hits, but I would really enjoy if they did a couple of my SF favorites like IGTB or YGTM. I'm guessing they will do DF, they might do Rock Me Baby for BB at every show. I am also going to Milwaukee and with Buddy Guy, they will surely do a BB tribute. I can't believe I am only going to two concerts this tour. The last time I went to so few shows was in the 80s. But the schedule for this tour was just not condusive for me
you really brought it to the point and expressed what many of us are feeling or suspecting.... they're all so "out of touch" by now - how true! how sad!

That's true but when only approx 100 to 200 Tickets go on sale it does look a bit figleafish
edit: I don't claim to know the number, but Justin was there and he said so

They need to dump this Twitter thing and periscope thing. It's an embaresment. When the fans are allowed to use their cell phones we get the same thing only better. Come on we know Keith is not twittering!
There were many many fans including myself who were completely locked out. Announcing a club show on Twitter and making everyone log on to snag a little more than 100 tickets was an illusion to make it appear like it was open to the public. Truth was that by the time they announced the show this afternoon, 95% of the tickets were already claimed for by industry-types, people in the know and insiders who are connected to the band and/or related record company.
Club/theater shows are (were?) the only place where fans could have the band for themselves and weed out the industry type. Really a shame that a classic album was in essence wasted on this type of crowd. From the outside you could clearly see many many people leave after 15, 20 minutes after the show started. They would still not let people in. Fans who waited all day at both the El Rey and the Fonda were shocked that they were locked out.
If this is how the band wants to handle club shows from now on---I'd rather they not come back to LA.
Is it monetizable? Yes. Then it will be released. Pretty straightforward
Sweet...
1) the invite only bit was already reported a couple weeks ago
2) the Fonda Theater holds about 1200 people; there were only 100-200 tickets actually sold this afternoon via their website. The other 1000 tickets were distributed to insiders. The Twitter announcement was a way to include SOME fans--but it was very slim chances.
3) most of the people who picked up their tickets at the El Re all followed the same trend; young, model types. Only a few of them looked like someone you'd find at a typical Stones show.
Sounds like only a couple IORR's made it in. The rest were Barbie and Ken.
BV will give us a full report.
such a shame to treat real fans like this, but no one can hardly be surprised.
People leaving that early, wow...

After this fantastic set we will be back to miss you and the rest of them on sunday.
I hope not! Certainly would be disappointing to this fan. Doesn't make sense
To spend all the rehersal effort, learning SF, for only one tiny free show.
Their web site says it was a "one time only" set list
That's the reality i'm afraid. I'm going for Orlando & Nashville and expect nothing but warhorses and tons of miss you

Apparently camera's and phones weren't permitted inside the venue. Does that mean I'm not going to get to hear/watch them play Moonlight Mile, Can't You Hear me Knocking,Sister Morphine, I Got the Blues, You Gotta Move, Rock Me Baby and Can't Turn You Loose?
Some has to have video footage... Come on

Real Quick...That was utterly fantastic. Easily my favorite show, set-list performance in a long while. I cant type I'm shaking so bad with excitement. That was incredible. I will stay on for a few minutes, then we are going to party. What a great trip so far. I promise details I guarantee I will be up all night then sleep on the plane home tommorow
Glad you liked! What was the highlight?
I am a huge Bitch fan. Sister morphine is very personal to me. But Moonlight Mile... I felt so sad and lonesome I could not help but cry.

Thanks for the poster and images, Irix ++
It´s a great day. So what, some connected people were there? Its LA. Its how it works there. I´d bet they will release this on some format soon enough.
So it will all be fine -
Lets be glad this went down.

I can't believe I am the only IORRer reporting. I never name names or places, but I saw several prominent IORR posters tonight. I am going off now I have regained my composure. I have stopped shaking and started breathing normally. My ears are still ringing. We are going to party in LA tonight. There are a lot of people around and lots of excitement still in the air. A good time will be had by all... I will check back in a little while.

a VIP corporate gig. would you expect anything less at this point? all of it so misleading--the faux twitter thing, the non-periscope event, the weird ticket "sale" - whoever works with the Stones on this crap is just so out of touch.and sadly, almost no buzz about this event today--no online trending, nothing. Old men playing by old rules, sorry. I'm sure the show was solid; they are still professional. But they're so out of touch.
you really brought it to the point and expressed what many of us are feeling or suspecting.... they're all so "out of touch" by now - how true! how sad!

What exactly made this a VIP corporate gig? Rumors had been circulating on here for months and it was tweeted by the Stones twitter account hours before tickets went on sale.

exactly. hey industry shows are fine. whatever. they wanted a flashy audience to shoot the show against because hey, johnny depp luuuuuuvs the rolling stones, right, matey? many bands are using periscope in cool, interesting ways. but there was NO WAY IN HELL they were going to give this show away for free. not when there are at least 2-300 people that will pay for a deluxe bonus boxed set with poster and gold-plated zipper.
do a google news search. this show barely dented the wall of public attention. nary a blip. things have changed. it's sad, but true. it's kind of depressing but i've got no expectations these days. the band needs a refresh,as does the brand. it's gotten stale for me. sorry to be such a downer. will always love them, but it's just getting to be more past tense. they're selling day old bread now,and not too effectively.

That's why we need more club shows in Europe instead of Hollywood. They know they can't pull the fan figleaf here, so they do a surprise gig for the fans and a top secret banker show for the fatcats.

That's pretty much a flawless setlist. Too bad it's a one time only. Would be great to hear reports from people from iorr who got in. I don't really care about seeing the band at big stadiums anymore, but I would've wanted to be a The Fonda and of course at Echoplex 2013. Anyway, hopefully many genuine fans made it to The Fonda and not only corporate people and models.
