Sadly, I cannot be in Toronto July 18th but will rely on our Torontonian friends to appraise us on how Exile On Main Street sounds performed as they say, "note for note!".

Presale starts this morning.

I will look to see if I still have it, but Phish once covered Exile, in its entirety, in order, as their 2nd of 3 sets, several years ago. They, (surprisingly to me) did a faithful tribute

You are soooooo...welcome STG!

If you do go, take some shots/give us a review. Love to know and sad I can't enjoy something like this closer to home!

My first CAL was in spring 2008. They played all of Some Girls then, after the break, they came back and did a set of other Stones songs…with Merry Clayton! They did Gimme Shelter and it was fantastic! Who knows what surprises lie in wait this time.

Wow, I'd never heard of it before, quite a history. Very cool!

I was not impressed when I saw them do it about ten years ago. The vocals just didn't work

Is it the same act performing different classic albums? I'd have thought they revolve the band(s). Anyway, I guess there can be an off night or a mismatch with performers which is unfortunate if that happens...I just like the whole concept of it.
