Poor guys are back to a tour bus? How the mighty have fallen...

Ashtray on the bus???

They're taking song votes: [www.rollingstones.com]

I voted for Whip.

Let's to to moonshine!

Tonight? What about Hard Rock? i'm good wherever...just let me know.

Hoping you guys get Street Fighting Man. Remember.. the best songs are the ones that provide the least opportunity for backup vocals.

Gettin' there...

Herrin' there...

Thanks again, haukej.
Interesting photos.

good Job. i am getting lazy

where are we going now ?

Looks like y'all gonna get the steampunk stage. Great memories.

Good job to you and thanks haukej, it takes alot of effort to hike up those 19 or 20 flights of stairs to get that perspective.
What? They have an elevator?!!

The Field is a great Irish bar...they imported the place piece by piece...and I used to live above it!

I'm ready to go out...do we have a place yet? I have no smartphone to check updeats, so would like to know where I'm heading. Is everyong just staying at Hard Rock post cover band gig (btw...Blushing Brides are my fav. Stones cover band).

Thank you haukej and Hairball for posting the most recent photos of the stage/seating set up! Awesome! Have fun partying tonight! See you tomorrow! So excited!!!

BTW...I'm not certain...but I think Patti's sister lives here (I won't say what part of town I think she lives in), this could be a homecoming of sorts for Keef.

Frankly, the person who told me she lives here was not exactly the most reliable...but also not enough of a fan I'd think she'd make it up to look good. Whatever...but I THINK San Diego has Stones family...other than us fans of course.

Mick enjoys the countryside

looks like he's hiking in rose canyon

I am back from my vacation in Sedona, and can hardly wait to see you all, will make our way to buy stuff, stash it at hotel about 2 tomorrow. Looks like it maybe cool, so bring a sweater. There is a VIP entrance for the Start Me Up Experience.

Those side seats look reeeeeallly on the side.... waaaaay over>>>>>> there.


fwiw this section A8 on SD Craigslist-
Rolling Stones tickets - $500 (Petco Park)
2 tickets 3 rows from the stage for the only California show by the Rolling Stones on Sunday May 24th. Section A8, row 3, seats 3 & 4. Tickets will be available Saturday the 23rd of May when I get to San Diego.

Funny! Mick was on horse trails in north San Diego county today. Keith was on a bus tonight down to San Diego. So they couldn't have done a sound check today anyway. No sign of Ronnie or Charlie.

Go see Ronnie's art show at the Hard Rock Hotel tomorrow. It's cool stuff and he might pop in.

What was all that talk about building a new stage in PA? They seem to be recycling the old stage.

They had more tickets for sale today for $99 on the Padres ticket site. Not sure if any left, but look in the morning. You can always get in as folks have to unload tix at any price day of show

The can't honestly sell those seats behind the portapotts. Baseballparks are weird.

Yeah, the floor seats on edges by port-a-jons are not worth the price, unless you have to go a lot. Given the age of the crowd and the all day drinking, maybe it's good for them. You may hear Can't You Hear Me Knocking on a plastic toilet!

It's like adding insult to injury - not only do you have a crappy view of the stage, you also have a crappy stench all around you.

Is anyone hoping that Doom and Gloom will NOT be part of the setlist? I'm a bit tired of that song live. Mick really seems to love playing that the last 2 tours.
Don't mind me, just too excited to sleep

The porta potties fit in with the Sticky Fingers theme in a twisted way. It'd be kind of fun if there was one on stage and every now and then one of the Stones would go in it. Mick could go in with a newspaper under his arm al a Al Bundy during Keith's set.

Someone might actually hear someone knocking while they are playing can you hear me knockin.

Ah as the fine fragrance of Au'de'portotoilete' wafts through the air...
