Last time Stones visit Oslo there were 32000 when it could be 40000 spectatures. Ullevål have the same capacity as Lerkendal and us hillbilles we know our time and the stadium would be packed.
Sad for me and sad for you, Bergen is the winner and the only place in Norway the Stones will play on this tour.

Do you have travel insurance? Get your doctor to write a statement, telling you were unable to fly, due to infected ears... Worked for me. I got all my buck back now.

We're getting more and more confused, dont we...
I want to have some links and more hard facts
on the 'St Petersburg 2007-thing...' !

And, if that turns out to be true, must Scandinavia be moved if Petersburg is?
It aint the same climate...

Remember they have to do all Scandinavian cities in the same run, same week, othgerwise they waste days on extra travel. So we don't talk about a day early September byt a week at least. All outdoor shows have to be done in September, that's the problem. So it's a hard thing to do. Expect some cancellations and/or indoor shows if possible.

Bjornulf

There arent too many indoor arenas that would have a capacity anywhere near a stadium show - even the poor selling ones. Do you think that instead of a stadium show in certain cities they might end up playing two arena shows there instead?

Why not this:

Bergen Sep 4
Horsens Sep 6
Göteborg Sep 8

Bergen was rumoured the 4th.

Would perfectly rhyme with original schedule.

<It can be very hot in Norway in the first part of september>

That's true, but please come up with statistics for weather in September in Bergen the last 10 years - and say that again

Bergen is this planet's wettest place, outside the rain forest... It's total stupidity from the beginning - to have outdoor shows in that city. It's raining whales! Not even cats and dogs - it's worse. Let's hope a cancellation in Bergen opens up for an indoor show in Oslo, or Ullevaal stadium. Logistically that would also make things far easier for the Stones. Bergen is really off Broadway.

The weather in Bergen in early sept. could be exatcly the same as early jun. 20 deegres and sun to 10 deegres and rain. The weather condition can`t be used as an argument to cancel the concert. It must be other reason.

It's off Broadway. Logistics, baby, logistics. Imagine getting the Stones trucks from Bergen to Gothenburg... With the ferries on an off strike... On some of Europes most difficult roads with drivers who have never driven there before. There are a number of good reasons why they shouldn't play in Bergen. Pneumonia, arthrithis, etc. We're talking of a bunch of mature gentlemen, here.

Totally agree, but not the weather.

Could be too easy to say something witth here about
the Five Years Plan, where new cars was postponed to 1996
by Brezjnev or something like that.
And, as been pointed out before; who will drum?

Charlie made his statement before the Keith incident, right?

wrt insurance policies etc etc, there might not be a lot of choise. Maybe Cohl has a contract with them to do all the planned shows...

P

>> Charlie made his statement <<

what statement?
there was one (1) report of an "unnamed source" saying someone said Charlie said that he wouldn't do world tours after this one,
but i never saw any evidence that Charlie actually said that, let alone anything about refusing to tour at all after this year.

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

correct

if he even made it at all, that is - he sure wasnt quoted publicly as far as Im aware!

daft argument. Whatever he chooses to do or not do after the tour is over, he'll be there until it ends. The 'Dec 2006' is only because thats when the tour was originally supposed to finish

If they want to play here in Norway this fall, please leave rainy Bergen and use one of all ours indoor football halls.
Didn`t A-Ha play in Valhall?

Wasn't it in a press conference. Bold expression for Charlie and Mick tempered it..?? Have to check this... I might be talking s#it...

P

Ok, not the heaviest argument I've aired ever, the Charlie-one.

But we have seen so many promotor announcements this past month,
I prefer to believe a 2007 tour in Europe when I see it on a
official site, even more official than in a "they talk of"-expression
at Ron's site.
