I meant financially going up in flames. Not literally.

RS should take our $ while they can.

35love, I'm on my third college kid ...Sallie Mae and chase bank own my arse, as the Brits and Aussies here say. I ain't gonna let it stop me from seeing my favorite band and neither should you. That's what credit cards are for, my friend.

My gut tells me the band has finally caught wind of my multiple posts, emails, tweets, chats, instagrams, and letters requesting they play Alaska, and will be playing Alaska on this tour... Or that could be last night's pepperoni pizza... Something's going on in my gut.

Maybe a Stones tribute band. And they could play all the great songs the Stones wont.

Sorry. Now that you mention it, both.

Sharon Jones & The Dap a Kings
Charles Bradley
Trombone Shorty
Alvin Youngblood Hart
Florence And The Machine
Gary Clark, Jr.
The North Mississippi All Stars
Drive By Truckers
The David Rawlings Machine

Very seldom see the opening act too busy drinking with friends outside or in a bar..save up my energy for the stones....

BUDDY GUY

Throwback-

ROTFL!

Thanks for that!

As opening song, I'd say "One Hit (to the body)".

Band coming in - unzipping the dark; fallin' out of the clear blue sky, to our darkenss below... I can just see that happening!!

It would work great as an opener (riffing, tempo, ec.); plus it's a gem (imo); plus it was almost never played until now...

Yeah; if I had a say in it, that would be my pick.

(And I'm quite sure I'll get some support from HMS here. )

Yes, why not ....

They didn't even do One Hit in 1999 although it has "no security" in the lyrics and it was rehearsed in Oakland (?) and Amsterdam. They don't play old "obscure" numbers for the crazy hardcore fans, let alone as opener.

I always thought one hit would be a great opening song, but your probably right to obscure....

Well, nobody asked what song would be likely as an opener, right...
Only what would/ could be a good one...

Yeah, would be a great opener. But unfortunately it will probably not happen.

Sorry for getting back on topic. BV, any ETA on when additional dates will be announced?

On the 7th day God created The Rolling Stones

I have to stop looking at this thread. Every day, no news... It's making me grouchy.

*It's big fat money to put a kid thru college here (University) even w/ a scholarship, that's what I'm saying/learned recently/ squeezed middle class.
RS should take our $ while they can.

I'm stunned at the cost of college in the US and hope that there is enough financial assistance available so that kids can all go if they have the smarts and the dedication. I guess the other way to look at it is . . . you're blessed to have a child that is studying in college, and considering the cost of four years of tuition,room and board, well, what's another few hundred bucks . . .

*Thank you. This kid is def a blessing, sorry for the OT on this thread, I'm emotional.

[quoteThey don't play old "obscure" numbers for the crazy hardcore fans, let alone as opener.[/quote]

I would say , "Not Fade Away" was pretty obscure as the Voo Doo lounge tour opener.

Ithink BV knows the dates but cant release it to the public til the Stones say so.

I remember going to see Bruce in Atlanta during the reunion tour- funny thing is I hadn't seen Bruce till then and was running into these die hards.
A woman at the airport recognized me and said her husband was mad beacuse she spent $10k of her child's college fund on the tour. I felt bad for her husband. I am perplexed to this day because he did more tours. So blesss you all for putting your children first.

If they don't plan on changing the setlist much from the recent tours, I hope they at least change the order of songs somewhat to change the pacing. I mean, does Satisfaction have to be the last song every time? Does YCAGWYW have to be the first encore? Please switch things around a little bit! Surely JJF and SMU aren't the only songs worthy of being opening numbers as well.....Just saying....

Seems for this year 13 of the songs were played every show, with OOC being played all but 1. so there are essentially 2 wild cards as KR does the same pair 2/3rd of the time. Fine with me though as I love these songs. 2 of the wildcards I wished they played every night Angie and LSTNT.
