Hairball My wife and I spent all day Tuesday at the Valley of Fire awesome . I have been telling people for years to go there. It's a great alternative if they don't have time to make the 15 hr day trip to the South Rim of the canyon.
It would be good if it were intentional, but...

SWEET!! Really have to give credit to The Stones for offering these. Compared to all of the over priced complaints I do not see many positive comments about the lucky dips. 39 bucks is the bargain of the century, esp if you got a good seat, but anywhere in an arena is not too bad.
The first show was cancelled (! Not postponed!) due to poor ticket sales for the second. I don’t think it will be rescheduled. Excuses like this happen from time to time. Nuremberg and Leipzig 2006 are similar cases, maybe Honolulu 2006 as well. You will always find an excuse.

Have to say the ongoing joke wasn't very well received, but it's a toss-up between the 'Vegans' and the 'Hookers'...the only two names I remember.
'Gamblers' might have been another...

I have no evidence, but I think it is very likely. Otherwise we would have a new date for Oct 19 one day after the other show. Anyway, just a thought. It's not my problem anyway.

So over 155,000 people has seen the Stones' on these 3 dates, some TOP artists draw that during 15 shows, they did it with only 3.
Get ready for few shows from now on, the days of 10+ shows tours are over.
Not sure if that math makes true sense as many in attendance on Oct. 7 & 14 were not there for the Stones alone -many had three day passes, so they just happened to be there.
For the three day event (70,000+ each day give or take) alot were there to see McCartney, alot were there to see Neil Young, alot were there to see The Who, etc. etc., etc., and alot were there to see any combination of the above. I was there to see Neil Young and Roger Waters specifically while Dylan, the Stones, and The Who (and Macca to a much lesser degree) were the icing, with The Who being the greatest surprise of them all.
But if you say so - 70,000+ happened to see the Stones so I suppose there's some validity to those numbers...maybe an asterisk should be added.

I thought it was hilarious that Mick did the traditional "Hello Vegas" hometown shoutout and chatter about local team news. I talked to a lot of people before the show and none were local. Guy beside me was from near Toronto, others from Dallas, LA, Boston, lovely fellow from Italy made me feel miserable that I missed the Circus Maximus gig... so I don't think many were interested in the name of the new Vegas team, more likely to have appreciated Mick's nice apology for having to cancel Wednesday. Glad he's feeling better.
How could he have missed using this as a lead-in the 'Vegas Tumbling Dice'?
Chatted about this with a few people. How would this work? The Stones get paid by the promoter, so wouldn't have an incentive to cancel for poor ticket sales. The insurer won't cover a show cancelled for poor sales, they would likely insist on having Mick assessed by their physician or one they approve.

Hi STC: Maybe Bjornulf or someone here that works in the industry can answer this question. I was ready to jump on the reschedule train but now gonna wait for Europa 2017.
That would have earned my vote, even though I still don't know what the heck he was referring to.

Hairball
Spent the day out at the Valley of Fire yesterday which is absolutely stunning.
Only a one hour drive from the Strip, but seemingly a millions miles away from all the casinos, crowds, concrete, and chaos.
We've been there several times in the past, but it's always beautiful and changes depending on what time of year it is.
Temps were a pleasant 85F with clear blue skies, and it wasn't crowded which made it all the more pleasurable.
Valley of Fire
Made it back to Tropicana around 3:00 and started checking stubhub as I had a bit of interest in getting a pair of tix for my wife's birthday (it was either that or give her a large wad of cash to play at the blackjack tables).
I ended up doing both as I was able to get a pair of rear floor seats for a very reasonable $266 each.
We stopped by the Beerhaus on our way to arena at about 7:00 but it was still really crowded and didn't recognize anyone, so made our way into the arena. Bought a couple of $12.00 draft beers, and settled in at our seats with an empty seat on either side of us. Seemed like quite a few empty seats in the house initially, but eventually all filled up...wonder if they were giving them away?
It was a fine show last night. Mick did profusely apologize for Wednesday's cancellation early in the show, and then later made a joke out of it - "David Copperfield made me disappear" or something like that. He also joked alot about a new team name for the arena, but I didn't even know Vegas is getting a new team...is it the NBA? I've heard the Raiders may move out here, but that would be stadium. Vocally, he seemed semi-subdued throughout with less whoo-whoo-ing during Sympathy and the ending pf Brown Sugar's, "I said yeah, yeah, yeah, whooo!", but his physical command of the stage and catwalk was as good as ever - perhaps making up for his lack of vocal strength. I was pleased to here 'Lets spend the Night Together' - a tune that was not played at either Desert Trips. Ride 'Em on Down was nice enough, but lacked the punch of the Desert Trip take on it - maybe the element of surprise was gone, but it seemed a bit generic - nice harp from Mick though. People around us started chatting, and several took off for beer or bathroom. It didn't go down very well with the casuals. I was happy to hear Happy, but Ronnie was a bit heavy handed on the slide - where it's nice and delicate on studio version, last night it was a but sloppy and grumpy. Absolute highlight for me was Midnight Rambler, while my wife loved Gimme Shelter and the 'new singer' whom she hadn't seen before. Both of us loved You Can't Always Get What You Want -great choir, and it ended in a joyous stomp. Suddenly ending with Satisfaction, it was hard to believe they wittled down the setlist to just 18 songs, but who was I to complain. And considering Micks situation, I suppose understandable.
It's bittersweet to think this may be the last time (for me) of ever seeing the Stones again, but I've had tons of fun seeing them multiple times in a variety of venues since 1981 (stadiums, arenas, theaters, and clubs). I've seen them on average once a year for every year of my life, and the last few weeks with these three shows would be an appropriate bookend to it all. I doubt I'd pay to see them again in a stadium, and probably not again in an arena (unless the prices were right), and I certainly won't be making any long distance travel plans to see them. But when all is said and one, there's been far more good times than bad times, and they've provided me with memories and a soundtrack that will last forever. With all that said, never say never...looking forward to new blues album and whatever the future holds for the Stones.

Ronnie's new guitar. It's a Danelectro '64 reissue.
Unfortunateley he could not finish the song with it because of problems with the wireless transmitter.

This will only last 24 hours before it is gone.. so if you come along later and it was gone, it was close to the stage scope of Mick on Miss You
