Allston is part of Boston so is densely populated. Once word gets out, The Stones rehearsals will be mobbed. Maybe they want this to create a buzz for their tour. Then once things get too chaotic they have a secret fallback rehearsal hall in the Boston suburbs. Or run off to St Louis to rehearse in that unused derelict stadium they will be performing in, SEPT 26, 2021, called Dome at America's Center.

Offhand I think Allston is unlikely.

I hope the sound is better than last time they played there, I thought it wasn't loud enough for one thing, and a little muddy. That was the PPV show though, maybe they had to adjust for a live broadcast.

I will have to add though, the dome is far from unused, it's part of the convention center so gets used quite a bit.

The NFL team that played there skedaddled to another city, so the stadium lost its main purpose. I don't know much about the situation there. All I know is that I read it is not used much.

Tip of the cap to DirtyT.

Today's Boston Globe story about a private show for Robert Kraft and friends would seem to confirm the rehearsal intel.

Another private show for Kraft? Yucch.

if I was paying for a private show I would certainly have to throw in some requests...

So much for any fantasies about them doing a club show at the Orpheum or Paradise. Another Robert Kraft money grab.

The Rolling Stones to perform private concert for Robert Kraft and friends
By Mark Shanahan Globe Staff,Updated August 5, 2021, 2:42 p.m.

On the eve of their US tour, the Rolling Stones will be performing next month at a private party hosted by Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family at Gillette Stadium.

On Sept. 20 — six days before the group kicks off its “No Filter Tour” at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis — the Stones, or most of them anyway, will play for the Kraft clan and a few hundred of their friends in Foxborough.

The e-mail invite, which went out July 23, reads: “Time to Get Started Up!”

This isn’t a first for the Rolling Stones. The band played a private gig for the Pats owner at Gillette Stadium in 2016, blazing through a two-hour, greatest-hits set — “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Brown Sugar,” and “Sympathy for the Devil” — for a crowd that included former Senator John Kerry, designer Tommy Hilfiger, J. Geils frontman Peter Wolf, Celtics owners Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca, Red Sox (and Boston Globe) owners John Henry and Linda Pizzuti Henry, and former Bain Capital managing director Paul Edgerley, among others.

After reading how they sucked up to Kraft I can see why a lot of the regulars aren't going to attend this time around.

One of the things I looked forward to the most was meeting up with out of town friends.

My guess is the shows on this tour will not be near sold out.

Yep. Let’s hope some footage of the show slips out before Kraft gets it thrown out in court.

September 20.
Same date they played Gillette Stadium in 2006.

thank you, I suppose its to be expected.

Maybe Keith can work up Happy for the encore for the private show so Kraft can get his happy ending.

The Rolling Stones to perform private concert for Robert Kraft and friends

On the eve of their US tour, the Rolling Stones will be performing next month at a private party hosted by Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family at Gillette Stadium.

On Sept. 20 — six days before the group kicks off its “No Filter Tour” at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis — the Stones, or most of them anyway, will play for the Kraft clan and a few hundred of their friends in Foxborough.

The e-mail invite, which went out July 23, reads: “Time to Get Started Up!”

This isn’t a first for the Rolling Stones. The band played a private gig for the Pats owner at Gillette Stadium in 2016, blazing through a two-hour, greatest-hits set — “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Brown Sugar,” and “Sympathy for the Devil” — for a crowd that included former Senator John Kerry, designer Tommy Hilfiger, J. Geils frontman Peter Wolf, Celtics owners Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca, Red Sox (and Boston Globe) owners John Henry and Linda Pizzuti Henry, and former Bain Capital managing director Paul Edgerley, among others.

This time, though, Stones singer Mick Jagger, and guitarists Keith Richards and Ron Wood will have someone else keeping the beat. Drummer Charlie Watts, who at 80 is the oldest member of the group, announced this week that he needs more time to recover from a recent surgical procedure.

“For once my timing has been a little off,” Watts said in a statement. “I am working hard to get fully fit but I have today accepted, on the advice of the experts, that this will take a while. After all the fans’ suffering caused by COVID, I really do not want the many RS fans who have been holding tickets for this tour to be disappointed by another postponement or cancellation.”

Watts will be replaced on drums by Steve Jordan, who’s played on Richards’s solo albums as a member of his X-Pensive Winos band.

There have been whispers — which we haven’t been able to confirm — that the Stones will actually be in Boston for a few weeks of rehearsals prior to the performance at Gillette and the beginning of their 13-date US tour. In 1981, before their massive US tour promoting “Tattoo You,” the Stones holed up at Long View Farm in North Brookfield to rehearse.

It’s impossible to know what it might cost to hire the legendary rockers for a night — and Patriots spokesman Stacey James isn’t saying — but we do know that former Hewlett-Packard chairman Ralph Whitworth once ponied up $3 million to have the Rolling Stones perform at a private party.

Whatever the number, Kraft, who’s worth an estimated $6.9 billion, according to Forbes.com, can afford it. In May, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Pats owner, who owns homes in Brookline and Palm Beach, expanded his real-estate portfolio, paying $43 million for a spectacular, 7,000-square-foot residence in the Hamptons.

It’s also not clear if the Stones concert is celebrating any particular milestone. Kraft turned 80 in June, but he already marked the occasion with a birthday party in the Hamptons hosted by 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin and a guest list that included Jon Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Meek Mill, Billie Jean King, and Adele.

Maybe this one’s just for fun. After all, “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll.”

Club show? I don't think Mick is going to get within 20 feet of anybody in the stadiums this time around.

No catwalk or B-stage this time?

will there be massages with HAPPY ENDINGS at this Kraft show????...

I thought they had that at every show?

Stones won't be playing any club gig at Sir Morgan's cove like in 81..the building got torn down..

I offered them my dad's place and garage in the Carolina countryside. I haven't heard back

Per recent posts by DirtyT (which presumably will be moved here at some point), rehearsals are at Red Sky Studios.

Red sky films is where the boys will warm up for tour.
Sad the Krafts are stealing the local surprise gig..
Really upsetting to the Boston locals. Kraft all ready did this private
party thing with them. oh and they roll in August 22. I'llbe bugging my friend to

Thx for the info
