It's beginning to feel an awful lot like we'll get Desert Trip and one Vegas show and that's it. They had tons of cash thrown at them and took it to do DT then decided to add one show in a place where they can fill the venue and that will bring people in from around the country. Hope not but it's starting to seem like that might be it.

child please-


the money's on the table and the commander is getting ready to do a giant sweeping motion,the records getting finished and the stones are ready to roll-stop worrying.

But I am, I AM worried!!!

Come on Snake Eyes! I mean Oakland!!!

I just looked at MSG and the Rangers Schedule so far.
These dates are taken 1,3,6,8,17,18,20,23,26,27,29,30

Right now 5,12,19 are open and Saturdays. Is 3 nights wishful thinking or would they be in Brookyn?

Strictly hypothetical, they could do 12- 15th or 16th or 19th for 3 3nights.
Heck, they could even do 4 nights and play maybe the 9th or 22nd.

What are everyones thoughts? I was looking at Philly's open dates so far and can't find any pattern that would give both a mid-week and weekend show.

I.e. in my wishful thinking they could do Philly the 9th and then start MSG the 12th for instance but the Sixers schedule isnt even out yet.

I am trying to figure out vacation time in November (likely can do 3-4 days which would mean 1 weeknight show maybe 2 at most for me)

The Islanders and Nets play in Brooklyn so open dates in that building will be slim also.

Here is November so far- but as you said once the Nets schedule is out there will be less dates of course.

My guess would be 10-11 remaining dates with 3-4 in NYC.
That would leave perhaps PHL 1, DC, 1, BOS 1, CHI 2 , TOR 1. This feels more like a 2013 repeat as someone mentioned in a thread earlier.

I would love to relive 2013 - Philly, DC...and this time I'll go for a few shows in NYC and throw in a trip to Boston.

Geez, I wish I didn't have to work...guess I'll have to be sick a lot come tour time.

If I counted correctly, the next MSG show in NYC is No. 25.

Plus they havent played MSG in 10 years right? I remember it was January 2006

Honestly waiting for the day when they will come to Mississippi

This is my first post on IORR in many years, so I'd like to send out a Thanx to BV for giving us all a forum to devour all things Rolling Stones!

Let's remember the Wow! factor that they always seem to provide once the final details roll in regarding a tour... Seems few expected a full-on outdoor run in NA last summer, which ended up a success any way you look at it.

The trend has moved away from the beloved press conferences of the past, to a social media presence in announcing shows and tours. Instant global impact...

Maybe the lack of visual activity is a combination of more rumored studio time and allowing new Dad Ronnie to have some quality time at home with the family.

The AEG involvement in Desert Trip and owning the new T-Mobile Arena in Vegas seems consistent with the run last summer in North America. They manage many arenas in the US as seen in the list above, although some of those are probably too small in capacity for The Stones to visit...

I can see MSG getting show(s) in or around the November timeframe, and with their parent company operating The Forum in LA, maybe a show or two there would round out the West Coast presence.

The rumored Minnesota and Kansas shows on the horizon could be AEG-run arena dates at the Target Center in Minneapolis, which shows it will be open this Fall during renovations, and at the Sprint Center in KCMO, also operated by AEG. Don't forger the new NFL Vikings' US Bank Stadium opens in August... If they travel the stadium set, this would be a big splash. With both areas having shows just last summer, I wonder if this rumor plays out... We shall see!

New buildings are good for headlines... In Sacramento, the NBA Kings' new Golden 1 Center opens just before Desert Trip with 2 shows by McCartney... A date or two could be penciled in there between DT Fridays or just after while out West... Also the new NHL Oilers' Rogers Place opens in Edmonton, AB in September, and this could cover western Canada as a draw.

Is it obvious I worry about these things? Hahaha!

I'm thinking Indio, Vegas, Sacramento, LA Forum, Chicago, MSG, Philadelphia, Boston, Toronto and Miami if they wanna travel a bit.

I'd like to think Seattle, Edmonton, Denver, Houston, Charlotte and DC as wild cards... Cleveland and Louisville for selfish convenience for my travels!!

If they do more outdoor shows, who knows? Mother Nature shrinks the calendar if so.

Appreciate being able to ramble on here, and enjoy keeping daily tabs on The Stones... Hope to see you all on the road!!

I think they haven't announced any other shows yet because they wanted to drive up demand for Vegas, since it's a destination place for a lot of people who will attend. If they are adding another Vegas show, I think they will put that on sale first before announcing the rest off the tour. No inside info, just conjecture.

A lot of things happening working on new album announcing 3confirmed shows ! A lot of questions for us fans when will album be released what kind of album will this be will they tour this album ? When ? Where? What's the name of this album? What's the tour name gonna be? AND THE EXCITEMENT GROWS!!!

i just read the interview with Ronnie and Sally in Hello Magazine, about the newborn twins,
where sally says "they are al going on tour together, with Ronnie in September"

( and that Keith has'nt seen the girls yet, because he's in America...so.. no studiorecording in London at the moment,as some people think )

Can't see them doing the Desert Trip cold so there will probably be 3 or 4 shows before that one.

Don't know when the interview was given, but Keith was in London all of last week.

That was my thought as well.
They should at least do one 'warm up' prior to Desert Trip as it will be a worldwide phenomenon with the eyes and ears of the world watching and listening.
Consider the live streaming, the eventual cd/dvd release, etc. - the Stones don't want to suck with all hype surrounding these Desert events.
They don't want to hear things like "hmmm...the Stones sucked", or "The Who, Bob, Neil, Paul, and Roger blew the Stones away", or "they're too old, should have hung it up long ago".....
Even though it's not a competition, comparisons are inevitable - they need to be loose, well oiled, and in fighting shape!


The Who just announced they will be playing at the smallish Santa Barbara Bowl on Oct. 6 - three days before their Desert Trip performance.
I have a feeling the Stones will do something similar...the L.A. Forum or the Hollywood Bowl would be a great choice.

Yes! I wasn't there, but I continue to hear to this day that AC/DC blew the Stones away. Perhaps they did, but it probably depends on who you're talking to.
I remember after a Stones show at SBC Park in San Francisco, 2005, some young metal/knuckleheads saying Metallica blew the Stones away.
I was at the show, but didn't go in to see Metallica as I was too busy with more important things - drinking beer with friends at a nearby bar.
And there's still claims of Lynyrd Skynyrd blowing them away in 1976....

... and the Rock 'n' Roll Circus. Hairball is right. The pressure will be intense, like the Olympics for old rock stars.

*Honestly, they have the perfect spot: Friday night day 1, after sedate Dylan, Stones'll play their hits and wake/ rock up the boomers, then OUT.
That will leave a intense impression. As the days go on y'all be tired and weary Ha Ha Ha

Maybe the rumoued small East Coast tour has changed into a West tour with the addition of the second desert trip show and now the Vegas show? Possibly they have moved the East Coast thing into early 2017?

There is no MSG!! It died several years back when they renovated the building. It can not make music magic anymore. Brooklyn is the choice for NYC. Period.

I agree MSG has not been the same since the renovations, but the acoustics are still good for an arena. The sound at Barclays in Brooklyn is terrible, especially in the upper levels.
Agree about the "music magic" factor. It is less intimate since the renovations,
but Barclays isnt exaclty the most magical place either.

I prefer going out to the Rock in Newark these days for arena shows.
Good sound and easy to move about within the arena.

That would be incorrect

Hopefully "The Desert Trip" Becomes a battle of the bands. And maybe a

little Jagger pride will come out. Maybe they dig deep into the set list.

Play more songs and shorter versions of the war horses


Paul plays like 30 songs. Neil is on fire right now with his new band and is

kicking ass.

Mick better bring his A Game because you can bet Paul and Neil will.

COME ON MICK - LEAVE NO DOUBT - THE ROLLING STONES ARE THE GREATEST ROCK AND

ROLL BAND EVER. AND NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE CAN BRING IT LIVE LIKE THE STONES

DO.

TIME TO MIX IT UP AND CHANGE THE ROUTINE. SET THE DAMN DESERT ON FIRE!!!!!


WE WANT THE RAW RAUNCHY ALMOST SLOPPY IN YOUR FACE ROLLING STONES OF OLD!

I agree about the sound at Barclays. I saw Paul there, from a lower level seat, and the sound was the worst I ever heard.

This is what I want to see as well. This will be #25. 5 last year, Santiago, Mexico City and Cuba so far this year. BRING IT ON!!!

COME ON MICK - LEAVE NO DOUBT - THE ROLLING STONES ARE THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND EVER.


They have already done this. They are.

sedate Dylan aka "Bob Sinatra"

Because what people really really really want to hear is Bob Dylan playing cover songs as opposed to... you know.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2016-06-24 13:22 by jambay.

I'll spend Dylan's set getting familiar with the venue layout and the VIP lounge.......he's sucked in concert for many years now.
