So we went to The Lucky Brand event and won a shirt and jeans (~$200 of stuff...and a snazzy bag and buttons). The show tickets were further away than ours; I guess you can't always get what you want, but sometimes you (or your wife) get what you need.

Congratulations!

At least one pair was in section 20

Oh good. I'm in section 4. Now no regrets about not staying. Thanks!

I have a good single for sale in the ticket trader section of the site.

that Thursday, June 25th date has always lingered in my mind. We know they are definitely staying in Chicago for almost the entire week. It gives them empty days on both ends. sure would be awesome!

edit: forget, lisa has a solo show that night, damnit!

how do we know they are staying in chicago? whenever they play Milwaukee they stay in ...Milw

They just landed about on hour ago at Midway airport per flight tracker, they are staying at a 5-star hotel in downtown Chicago. Also, the entire U2 touring apparatus is also staying in downtown at a different hotel. I wonder if Mick and Bono will have lunch?

I tend to agree with you. We may get some special twists - Buddy does seem to push them and vice versa - but seems like more of a Berlin setup.

They could have played in a large stadium to make big money and a large crowd but they wanted the Waldbuhne outdoor amphi. Everybody knows the story of Waldbuhne from the Stones in the 60's. There will be a Waldbuhne of the summer 2015 tour too I think." End Quote

Totally cool. They seem perfect for framing,

Or I had one funny idea, maybe after the tour they will have a bunch left over and drop the prices on them so low I could afford to buy a couple of all 15 towels and then hang them in the down stairs bathroom and say DONT USE!! GUEST TOWELS!! like my grandma and mom used to have. LOL! I never understood the "dont use guest towels" thing, especially as I got older and was a guest I still wasnt supposed to use them, "They are just for decorataion". So thought it would be funny to own a couple of these, or a bunch, from some or all of the 15 cities and hang them in the bathroom as guest towels as a shrine to The Stones and Mom.

Hahaha! Yeah I always-still (considering I'm 11) get confused with that. Although they don't say "dont use guest towels" my grandma says use that or that but not this and that... Anyways that would be awesome have a few in each bathroom maybe... I would frame maybe one or two and then put the rest in bathrooms.

I am not, but I wish I was.

I have a feeling it will be the best show of this tour. I bet they will play it up for the smaller venue. It is still 25000, but that is lot smaller than 85000 at Texas

edit- but I will be listening in live on periscope, that works pretty well.

We are pretty close too- Hey Uncle Frank I might sneak up and join you in the PIT! This is Mack by the way.

By the way wasn't it Milwaukee when the Stones invited MT onstage in 81 when Mick Taylor went baserk when he turned his guitar up way to loud outside of the mix and Keef wanted to go rip his plug out of his guitar? Maybe that was Kansas City? It was one of these cities though little Stones history for ya

Did you see the periscope thread here? You might skim it as you are figuring it all out [www.iorr.org] There are probably a lot more places out there talking about it, but that thread is good. Scoping is awesome and works great if there is good scoper with a good signal and good battery.

There's a PIT in Milwaukee? Is it the same stage? Definitely think Buddy Guy is the best warmup act on the tour. I hope people show up in time for his set and he is the first one to pack the house for the opener.

I would be surprised if the Stones don't let him use the runway...he likes to get up close and personal with the audience. What are they going to do, tell him no? He used to use a super long guitar cable and strut out into the crowd, get in peoples face and rip it up on that guitar. One time in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco he strutted right up to my girlfriend, grabbed her hand and used it to play his guitar for a while! She was beaming for days.

peace

There may be a small catwalk/runway but in this theater there isn't a huge one.

No "tongue pit" or runway at Marcus Ampitheater. My understanding is that there is a little room in front of the stage that is called the pit where they put some folding chairs.

I've seen Buddy Guy a few times and he does love to go out into the audience. I agree, he is the best opening act of the tour and I am very excited that I will be there on Tuesday night!

Let's see, Lb is a boutique shop that generally sells jeans and tops with a late sixties/early seventies look to them. The event lasted 3 hours (2-5) and the front of the store was devoted to Stones shirts along with some of the SF releases and the Exile box, no exclusive merch and around $40 for a shirt. The back of the store had a local radio station where raffle registration took place. There was also free bottled beer (limit 2) and sandwiches. The prize drawings happened about every twenty minutes: SF cds, jeans and shirts (you didn't have to be present to win these items). Near the end of the event a drawing was held for a Fender guitar and three sets of tickets - you had to be present for these prizes (four people were not and were passed over). You may want to get there, fill in the prize slip and find another way to occupy your time until the drawing at the end. If you bought merch, you choose from a selection of buttons and your purchase is put in a nice black bag with the LB logo on one side and the Stones tongue on the other side. Hope this helps

I broke down and bought Stub hub bleacher tickets this weekend for double face value, but at least I'm in. $200 to see the Stones isn't bad these days even though the seat location is in the back. I will at least keep my streak intact of seeing these guys on every N. American tour since 1969. My wife convinced me Sat night with one simple statement. "C'mon it's The Stones......how can you NOT go?" Tickets were bought within 5 minutes. My wife and I along with 2 longtime friends will attend.

Ready to rock.
