For what it's worth, there is still availability at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara on various sites, but the prices have jumped up quite a bit!

So far the No Filter tour has had 2 kinds of openings:
1. Sympathy, with drums/piano/flames intro, spotlight in Mick with the “please allow me...” line, Keith and Ron in at the chorus
2. Some berk shouting “ladies and gentlemen The Rolling Stones”, Keith walks out into JJF/SMU/SFM
As far as I could tell, the only reason to drop Sympathy was because the 2018 shows started in the daylight - all the US shows will start in the dark, so I really hope we get Sympathy back as an opener. It worked, it was new, and it didn’t involve someone better suited to introducing Price is Right contestants overdoing the start of the show.

I watched the new tour teaser on facebook. They only show young people going crazy at Stones concerts. The only old people in the teaser are the band members. I find this a bit weird since their core audience is 60+ rockers.

It took me an hour to book all my remaining hotels this past hour. All cities should be easy except for Seattle, quite high priced near the stadium.
Some advices when booking hotels:
- If the portals like hotels.com say no availability, then try direct i.e. hilton.com hyatt.com marriott.com etc
- If one day is not available then try 2-4 days, often they open up for a longer stay.
- Always book with an option to cancel within 1d to 7d before the actoal stay, never pay in advance, there may be changes.

Not all lies, but sort of stretching the truth....took this screenshot from the video clip of three young gals from the '60's:
And here are they are today:

Actually, June has the longest days of the year, in fact, the opener on June 21st is on THE longest day of the year, so I don't know what you are talking about. But you're right, best done in darkness, as befitting the song.
And I love the announcer telling us to welcome the Stones. Most of the time, it is done in a voice that evokes "Here are the Living Legends, THE ROLLING STONES!!!!!!" to me. It evokes a certain majesty. And somehow it evokes respect for them and, at the same time, conveys excitement that we are going to hear some of the greatest rock n roll ever written and performed and have a GREAT TIME!!!

Yes, but because the U.S. is collectively further south than most of the places they played in '18, there's a far better chance it will be dark when almost all of these shows begin, even in June.
I wouldn't mind an understated matter-of-fact "ladies and gentlemen...' like in '72, but the way it's done these days it just sounds so corny, like they need to make sure the crowd is properly amped up. It's a Rolling Stones show. We will all go nuts when the Rolling Stones come out. It doesn't need the whole Used Car Salesman approach.

(COPIED). Some berk shouting “ladies and gentlemen The Rolling Stones”, Keith walks out into JJF/SMU/SFM
It never sounds berserk (that what you meant?) nor like a jerk is saying it

Seriously folks? After fearing the tour being canceled, they could open with Melody or Cherry O Baby and I would be happy!

I mentioned this in a previous post but it's worth restating: when booking a hotel, NEVER SAY you're coming in for the Stones concert! Many of you may already know this but I learned it the hard way...say you're coming in for a meeting, or a wedding because if the hotel thinks you're coming to see the Stones, your rate will TRIPLE! I was able to change my hotel reservation to the new dates for my hotel near Foxboro AT THE SAME CHEAP RATE by saying the wedding date had changed! The reservationist said " It's a good thing you're calling today because the Stones changed their dates to the same time as your WEDDING!" I laughed and said, " Oh NO, I have Stones fans to deal with!?" She laughed!! Joke is on YOU, lady! Hopefully the hotel won't catch on and jack up my rate...but I don't think they CAN..BV is right, never pay in advance and only book at a place where you can cancel up to the day before the show. See you all in Foxboro!
