Saw the Stones 9 times since the Steel Wheels Tour in '89 and I simply can't understand how they seem to not lose that energy and that love of playing in front of large crowds.
I really think last night show was the best Stones' show of the nine I saw.
If it was the last for me, then they didn't disappoint me at all.
Thanks Mick, Keith, Ron and Charlie
* By the way, it was particularly weird and funny for me to hear Jagger asking if there were people in the audience coming from the Saguenay.... My little region 200 kms north of Quebec City.

Due to their age, I don't think the Stones prefer to do multiple arena gigs at the same city anymore. They save powers, doing a stadium show every 3 or 4 days and reducing the number of the nights they have to spend. I think the "Zip Code Tour" model is the fit model for the upcoming rounds (I suppose South America "comes" next...)
BTW the average attendance per stadium show, on "Zip Code Tour", is the attendance of the 1997-98 tour (not including arenas). Their popularity remains huge, considering the current ticket prices and the high frequency of their tours, since 1989...

They could not sell out more than 2 MSG shows....we saw that even MSG is no longer a sure bet for the Stones.

Biggest rubbish in this week so far.
question about SFM, has Tim always come out in the end on soprano sax? Chuck does a great job in the end jam as well. These sidemen are doing a hell of a job. There's plenty of slamming them here but this is the best band on earth with talent to spare. Matt Clifford does not play on every song yet so often I hear something great and find it's him.Quote

Well Indy sold 80,000+ tickets with a greater area population of around 2,000,000. New York greater area has a population of around 20,000,000.
So doing the simple math we might say the Stones could sell 800,000 which would be about 44 nights at MSG. I know the math probably isn't a good direct correlation but even conservatively saying they could sell 1/4 of those, that's still 11 nights!
I'd say it's a pretty safe bet they could sell a week of shows at MSG with no problem. New York people love The Stones, they love the hottest ticket in town and I wouldn't underestimate either of those things. Plenty of folks would probably try to attend every show.
