If anyone needs last minute accommodation I have a couple hotel rooms in Barrie. I am now in an airbnb with family so I can offer the rooms at cost.

Main reason I won't be going. 6 hours or more roundtrip on a bus or buses. I also hear the venue turns into a mud pit with any rain, and the mosquitos in June are everywhere.

Well, maybe bring boots, mosquito repellent and a plastic sheet because there's about a 30-40% chance of rain throughout the week. Thanks for the heads up on that! Saturday looks good though!

No, one and done for me. In my house its one for her, one for me, one for me, one for her. The next "me" show is Maiden in Tinley.

seems go bus and train running a special service for the burls creek show,

anyone coming from Toronto now has a better option than driving

[www.gotransit.com]

"Southbound from the show, Bus.com will be running return bus service from Burl’s Creek to Allandale GO Station. GO will be running one special southbound train, departing from Allandale Station at 1:00 am. The train will make all station stops on the Barrie line to Union Station."

on another note,,

I contacted burls creek, they will not allow any water bottles in nor are they supplying any potable water, so be prepared for 5 dollar a bottle water

the only way you can bring a blanket to sit on is if it fits in your little clear bag( i think i have a way to cheat that system though)

also seems there will be 2 stages based on how the band schedule reads ( seems odd for GA ticket holders)
[www.burlscreek.com]

Program starts at 2.45 PM.

I'm putting a slice in it and wearing it like a poncho

Also mozzies have been horrendous here this year. Be prepared to be eaten

Even with a Large crowd there is more of them then us right now

new diagram of layout of the event grounds and locations for bars,restrooms,merch stands ect

gold circle tickets look like a good deal for this event with the layout

also diagram of parking.. anyone leaving right after the show good luck

im staying at a friends house right behind the event area, close to the barn, give me a wave !!!

I wonder if the lights down pre-opener music will still have the "Star Spangled Banner" in it or will they change parts of it to the Canadian anthem.

Not 100% positive, but I believe they only used that for the opener.. (I was at both, but scrambling still in opening moments of 2nd show ) It was stunning, I thought, with the way it segued right into SFM. It would be cool if they did the Canadian anthem at this one though.

Hopefully it won't rain and there won't be too many mosquitos as amongst the list of 19 prohibited items are -

No sprays, deodorants, or aerosols of any kind.
No umbrellas – small, medium, or golfing.

Forecast looks good. The only dark clouds will be at the box office...

Nuts and bolts falling into place for Saturday's Stones show

The Rolling Stones are scheduled to hit the stage around 8:45 p.m.

by Ian McInroy


Workers at the Burl's Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte Township have been preparing for Saturday's Rolling Stones concert, including this high-wire act above the main stage. Ian McInroy for BarrieToday

Work is well underway at Burl's Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte Township in preparation for this weekend's highly anticipated Rolling Stones concert.

Saturday's concert marks the only Canadian stop on the North American leg of the No Filter tour for the British rockers.

On-site camping opens at 7 a.m. on Saturday, followed by day parking at 11 a.m. The event gates open at 2 p.m.

Music is scheduled to get going at 2:45 p.m., with One Bad Son on the SiriusXM Stage, followed by Sloan at 4 p.m.

The Beaches open on the main stage at 5:30 p.m., with The Glorious Sons going on at 7:15 p.m.

The Rolling Stones are expected to hit the stage at 8:45 p.m.

After the Stones, there will also be a late-night party featuring Dwayne Gretzky on the SiriusXM Stage.

For some of the rules in place for the show, click here.

I am going to Burl's Creek from Toronto and have 3 free places in the car. The return will be in a reasonable time after the show. Parking is already reserved. If anyone is interested please send me e-mail: kwoznica90@gmail.com

Heading out about 4-5am for the drive north through Windsor... Figured if I can beat some of the rush hour in Detroit, I'll be better off!

Really stoked for this gig! Another adventure on Canadian soil, like Downsview Park in 2003...

Anybody at the Hampton Inn in Barrie? Look for a solo Yank...

Somebody going to the rehearsals??

Mind to post some info accompanied by some spoiler-warnings?

Hey all,
It's my wife's first show and she would love to hear She's So Cold.
So, if you have no preference, help us out?
Vote for She's So Cold!
Many Thanks!

Seems like a reasonable request; how popular will you be if it happens!

"I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon."

*ponders*

I bet your wife would like Live With Me much better so I did you both a favor and voted for that instead!

_____________________________________________________________
Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

I voted SHATTERED.

I'll be very surprised if it isn't Shattered or Rainbow.
She's So Cold is one of my all time favorites! However, the last time they have done it, the pacing is way off. When Jagger sings the lyrics it is like he isn't quite confident in what the lyrics are.

Not another bad one in the list though.

Done.
Jeroen

I predict Rainbow (fantastic live last year)..

Voted for wifey.. She's So Cold.

Just a warning to anyone from the USA heading up to Burls creek this weekend,

our BEER is stronger!!!!

Don't ponder about the plural, we are m-a-n-y, hehehe ...

Getting ready to board a plane in Austin to Toronto. This will be my second show on this tour. It will also be my 13th country to see them play. I hope there are more. Thank you BV for this site. It has helped me see other countries and the Stones.

Totally pumped for tomorrow.
