There’s currently an extensive poster advertising campaign going on in Liverpool. Suspect sales aren’t as strong as expected for this show.

I always wondered: what if they played one stadium show, just for the sake of it, without warhorses, advertised as such, so that all ticket buyers know that they are not going to get Satisfaction and JJF.

The "no warhorses show".

Do you (they) really think it would not sell as a normal show?

I am quite sure it would sell out ...

Interesting thought. Don't think the selling would be a problem, rather that a lot of fans in the stadium would not know the songs and would not show the reaction that Mick likes to get from an audience.

Also at this point of their career I think playing just one show of rarely played songs would only make a so-so performance. If they didn't have a few shows to practice them it could easily get quite rough. Often the rare songs at their shows are nice to hear but a bit rusty performance wise. On the other hand they have perfected playing Jumpin Jack Flash and Start Me Up, they rarely disappoint performance wise.

Fonda 2015 proofs different. A fantastic show füll of songs not played for a Long time. But this all might work better in a theatre or a small arena. Many people were waiting for rare Songs in Florida last year because of the arena size

Yes you are right and I was truly suprised about that one. They played phenomenal, not just for an opening night. At most opening nights they're not able to deliver such a good performance, let alone on rarely played songs. Still you got to consider that most Sticky Fingers songs were played quite often love in the past, Can't You Hear Me Knockin', Bitch, Sway, Wild Horses etc. were played regulary during their big world tours. Also Moonlight Mile and I Got The Blues almost every night during No Security. So although they aren't warhorses, they aren't that "rare".

14 times (Moonlight Mile) and 5 times (I got the Blues) are hardly "almost every night" on a tour that that had 43 shows (including the European Shows where they played the later). And that was 16 years before Fonda...

Many shows sold very very well, there are even some complete sellouts, like Madrid. That didn't happen in a while. No need to promote.

wait and see… I'm still not convinced they already put all tickets on sale

Any guess where the rehearsals will take place?
UK and Spain?

Were Melanie's recent IG photos taken in Amsterdam?

Interesting. Mathijs mentioned Amsterdam in the rehearsals thread.

Saw that Bernard is performing with Karl Denson's Tiny Universe tonight in New Orleans, so at least those guys aren't in Europe yet...

Love these rumours

The hype for the new tour is almost zero, very few news on the media, there's no buzz, nothing new to promote, a very weird way to celebrate an iconic date.

There definitely seems to be a lack of enthusiasm and hype compared to past tours - everything seems subdued and muted.
Thought there would be much more given it's the 60th, but so far there's just been some lame designed merchandise.

Funny georgelicks - they quoted me in that article, yet they actually misquoted me by editing my original quote, and then took it out of context.

"Fans on the Stones fan site It’s Only Rock’n Roll also commented on slow sales. One, called Hairball, wrote: ‘Definitely seems to be a lack of enthusiasm. Everything seems muted.’"

Ummm...I wasn't commenting on slow sales as I have no idea how sales are going, but was commenting on the all around vibe and hype of the big 60th anniversary tour.

My full unedited quote as seen below was in reply to a post from you on the previous page of this thread:

Typical of the Daily Mail though...twisting the truth...deceitful...
