I don't begrudge the band for playing a private gig.
I am curious however, what the difference is in real dollars to them that a show like this nets each performer.
I'm sure someone has the numbers to crunch..
$2 million for this show minus expenses vs what they would have netted doing a SEATTLE show on this same night..
Either way, it's their business to run and more power to them. Just curious if this show was a factor in not doing the strongly rumored Seattle/Denver show, and if so how big of one.
It's their business, but If a zillionaire can affect/alter a tour.. it then kind of becomes ours.

with 6 days off between San Diego and Columbus, whatever they are being paid for a private show can help offset with their daily overhead...

Look, it is simple. The "problem" is that the Stones SEEM like a regular bunch o' guys...some blue collar guys who made it...working man's music...that sorta thing. Really though, they are like a politician who comes across as the every man, when in reality they are the elite, but just sell it better. Maybe a million years ago the Stones came from every day families like their fans, but that is not who they are now, that is just a marketing ploy. Accept it, they aren't like you & me...they are more like Queen Elizabeth.

Gotta say it- the people who are upset with the Stones over this sure have some messed up priorities and belief systems. They don't owe anybody squat. They're not beholden to anyone. They can do what they want. And they do.
Don't like it? Show it. Never go to another show, buy another record, listen to another song.
Bands from every musical genre have been doing gigs like this ever since the first offer was made. Nowhere does it say they have to refuse offers like this simply because they're "The Rolling Stones". Wise up.

Did the Stones sing Happy Birthday yet? Did Mick and Keith harmonize on the end bit?
