The Rolling Stones to perform private concert for Robert Kraft and friends (Boston Globe August 5, 2021)

Quote from the above article:

On the eve of their US tour, the Rolling Stones will be performing 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!”

Does anyone have insights as to how many folks are at a show like this?

<the Stones, or most of them anyway, will play for the Kraft clan and a few hundred of their friends in Foxborough>

I take it you mean some in the touring band might not participate?

That is BV quoting what the Boston Globe article says and I imagine it refers to what's left of them

The "secret" gig is not very secret when you distribute a poster, naming the band, date and location, and on the invitation list, you have the editor of the newspaper publishing the story, Boston Globe.

I’d like to become a friend of the Kraft family. Please make any recommendations to assist with this goal. Thanks in advance!

On the 7th day God created The Rolling Stones

If you’re in the quick massage business that would help.

Are there going to be any hot Chinese massage therapists? - Then I am in!

Do we have someone going?

Are you a football star? Important Boston society figure/philanthropist? Donald Trump?

Looking forward to the first reviews - the start of a tour has such a buzz, even in the midst of the sad loss of Charlie

As long as we get a set list, I'll be happy!

20 miles down the road from me. Just checked my mail - still no invite!

In case it's Donald Trump, it's better to be aware of flying knives near Keith's room...

Me too.. but not pre-opener.
Going to try my best to not read anything about this.. as curious as I am.

Reading the rehearsal info was enough for me. I enjoy not knowing much until after the first show I'm able to attend, which in this case won't be too long

Is everybody ready ? Everybody seems to be ready !!!

Hopefully opportunity will knock for our gracious host like it did at the Belly-Up in 2015 ;-)

I can think of at least two big Stones fans who deserve to see the gig live, and I sincerely hope they make it.

I'll be in the parking lot/bar hopefully hearing something. Say hi if you see me! Or tell me to eff off, either is fine.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

I was just there for vacation (Rockport, MA), got back Sat. night. If I knew, I would have stayed and snuck in

Do we know when the band are on stage?

Hmm

I’m here (for business) and you would never know the Stones are playing tonight. Walked right up to the tent the band will be playing in. Anybody know if and when there will be a sound check? Anybody else here?

I’d happily upload some pics if I could figure out how to do it lol…Not much to see anyway except a huge white tent on the football field.

Am I the only one to whom this seems rather seedy and depressing?

It looks like a tribute band poster: 'Started Up!'

(cue predictable jokes)

I thought they changed the tongue to black in charlie's honor?
