I have family and friends who work on the strip in Vegas and have gone to visit and see the Stones at the mgm a few times.
I didn’t go to the t-mobile show because I quit going to see them live after the zip code tour but from what they tell me there was absolutely no buzz in town for these concerts.
Before it was “The Stones are in town!!”with people swapping stories about seeing the band around town and the usual excitement.
This time every casino host in town had fistfuls of tickets and were handing them out to even mid level players.
The Stones had just done desert trip where they were just good and didn’t stand out much from the other classic bands then embarrassed themselves by playing a trucking convention,this is what stand up comedians do not a group billing themselves as the live gold standard.tickets for $450 and $750 got people rolling their eyes.
Then before they left they played a birthday party for a good friend of the president.they may want to stick to a couple of shows in the major markets because I’ve got a feeling the states aren’t the cash cow they once were.

Didn't Mick mention during the HBO show in '03 that this wasn't the last time the Stones would play in the then called Madison Square Garden? If my count is correct, the next time they play at that address in the City is No. 25.
Might be misunderstanding your post (?), but it's still called Madison Square Garden, and the Stones played there in 2006 and 2012.
I thought the name of the venue was changed.
There was an HBO show the week of 18 Jan 2003 and I can't remember when Mick made the comment. Here is a link from one of the shows: [www.youtube.com]
As far as No. 25, I don't know where I got the number from and maybe someone should verify.
Thanks Hairball.

I don’t think there’s much to the legal rumors.

All I’m sayin is, even from periscope that town was funky/ jeeby energy. JMO.[/quo
It was all in your head.the sheer magnitude of the modern day Las Vegas(imagine 175,000 hotel rooms) makes it nearly impossible for any one or two events to change the energy or vibe of the place.
The rare big fight will get the place buzzing and a couple of tragedies have made it a little spooky but sweatin to the oldies at one venue and two politicians arguing at another went by almost unnoticed,just another night.

I could imagine the Stones could setup in a few major cities and have a dozen or more concerts and not have to do as much traveling.
New York City could have shows go on for months and they'd all sell out. I remember being at Madison Square Garden in 1998 and realizing there were many people there from around the word. I remember many did not speak English. New York City is an international destination that is easy and most inexpensive to get to as compared to other major cities because many flights go there.
Madison Square Garden is the ultimate Rolling Stones venue. I think the last time they were there was 2005.

Thanks for that, Teddy. I trust you 100%. Glad to hear it. I don't usually give too much credence to blind items, but a friend who has a connection to the site told me it was in reference to Mick and Keith. Glad it was just someone doing their math wrong.

The Rolling Stones appearance at the 121212 concert for Sandy Relief wasn't really a major event for them. They were "in town" for the three shows in Brooklyn and Newark December 2012. The 121212 show was really out of their schedule, where Mick hardly perform more than two times per week. They did it in honor of all the great heroes on the floor. I tried to get a floor ticket at the massive price of some 3,000 - 4,000 usd but I did never succeed, so I settled with a great seat close to where Chris Martin and Michael Stipe did their special acoustic set. When I was at the show I realized why the floor was such a tough ticket. It was taken up by the heroes, the nurses, the fire fighters, all those who saved lives during the hurricane and the flood.
When, or I would say if, The Rolling Stones return to MSG, it will not be for a brief ten minutes performance in-between other major shows. It will be a once in a lifetime experience, I think. Bigger than the January 1998 experience. But this is only my personal opinion. They might decide on something totally different after the UK tour. May be they love UK so much they just keep touring UK & Ireland for the next twenty years.

As to your other question about whether or not Matt Clifford will have a slew of songwriting credits if and when the new album is ever released, I don’t know. I can’t imagine a slew of Jagger/Clifford credits but maybe Jagger/Richards/Clifford? Maybe this is a consideration as to the makeup of the album...

Purely speculation on my part, but perhaps that's why they've gone back to the well two more times with Mick and Keith writing new material earlier this year and last year. We've heard through the Universal grapevine via Soldatti that not all of the material is perceived as consistently strong by Interscope. Perhaps for Keith it's a chance to replace Jagger/Richards/Clifford tracks with Jagger/Richards ones. That may be why he keeps retreating to Germano Studios to hunker down with Steve Jordan before joining up with Mick. It may be a question of 4-6 tracks form 2015/2016 that everyone is pleased with and the new material the past two years are attempts to equal the standout tracks in terms of quality. Mick's guarded answers to his recent interviews suggest some of what he is writing is going in reserve though most of it is for The Stones. Time will tell.

I’m dying of pancreatic cancer. I’m hooked up with a make-a-wish type project that will get me and my son to any concert within a reasonable radius of home (Philadelphia suburbs).
I suspect someone here knows something. Do I have any chance of using my wish to see the Stones in the north east US this year? I’m 14 months into chemo, and pancreatic cancer has one of the worst survival rates. So 14 months is a miracle in itself. I could die happier seeing the Stones one last time.
But I don’t want to waste the opportunity. If I have no chance to see the Stones then I’ll have to pick something else.
So please - if anyone knows anything somewhat concrete about future plans can you share it ?
