Last concert on American soil? Last for the current line-up? Last stadium show? It feels like an era is passing to me, just with all that has gone down lately with the band, their age, etc. I just don't see them continuing, at least in the current format. Thoughts?

Yeah BB. I bought a ticket for this show before they changed the date, just because I have the means to travel, and see shows outside of my area for the first time ever. Then they changed the dates. I am feeling a little nostalgic that (this could be) The Last Time.

Vanvouver is America too - North America - even if it is Canada. There is a show there on Saturday 25th. Just for the record. LA is the last show of the United States.

Glad you get to go. I'll be there. It'll be a great show, I'm sure. At least that's what I'm hoping. I was disappointed in Anaheim show last year.

Yeah BV, we know there is one more show left in Van. nothing against our canadian friends,but just from a historical standpoint, LA could be the last american show. I hope I am wrong, but it is worth noting.

I was at Anaheim. LA Crowd, 40 Licks setlist, and absolute the worst crowd handling of any venue I have ever seen -- they didn't open the gates until late, and it took 1 hour + to get in the stadium. But, as I recall, it was a beautiful Southern California night, and everyone went home happy.

It's a rock concert, not a funeral! I hope everyone doesn't start bumming the way they have been here and ruin the show. It's a rock concert in a stadium, I am sure they will be back in a few years in some form or another. What else would they do?

Well. beside the fact that my seat kinda sucked,... Thought the performance was perfunctory from Keith and Ronnie,and Keith's set was a major disappointment. He even made some offhand comment before his set that made me feel like "yeah, whatever, our accountants are almost finished counting the money, let's get this over with." Just got a bad vibe and, to be honest, left there feeling these guys were on the homestretch, at least as far as this long-time fan was concerned. But obviously I'm coming back for more, so we'll see.

Let it rock.

Its going to be a great show, and the odds are its going to be the last on US Soil, i dont think they can do it any more, Keith Richards Health wont allow them to tour anymore.

I bet they'll play Radio City Music Hall in NYC at least one more time...

Just for the record most people tend to think of the United States when the hear or say America unless of course it is prefixed by North or South. Here endeth today's anal retentive moment!

whether it is the last U.S. show or not I won't be bummed. They have had a good long career, and I will have had the pleasure of seeing 19 shows. If they come back again, great. If not thanks for the memorys boys.

I think the roadies should scoop up some dirt from centerfield of Dodger Stadium and pack it with the rest of the Stones' tour gear. If the roadies sprinkle some of that dirt on stage wherever the band plays, every Stones performance can be their last on American soil.

If this really is it will Bv keep IORR running?

Enjoy this show. Last one or not in the US. Hope someone will videotape it for History.

......... LA traffic update...... hugh accident on the 405, its completely shut down...

Who's hugh?

Hugh Hefner got distracted by his "girlfriends" and crashed the limo . . . .

I'm in Portland Airport right now, waiting for my flight . . . donned in full Stones attire.

LET IT ROCK!

you can't catch me!

To everyone at the LA show - here's wishing you a great show!

Getting ready to rock here, can't wait. Gonna be special tonight!
Got some J's, Heinekens, red wine, chips n' salsa,incense. Can't wait to get there early and chill...

As for the crew scooping up the soil at Dodger Stadium...don't give the band ideas, next thing you know the band will package a pinch of dirt in a keychain and sell it for $749.99 - 5% RS.COM member discount.

"The Official Last Time Keychain"

It should be a great show tonight with 7-9 songs not played in the previous 4 area shows on this tour. I kind of expect Sweet Virginia to be played, along with Let's Spend The Night Together and possibly Ain't Too Proud To Beg. Maybe a few other surprises as well.

As far as some of the concerns people have had about Ronnie's physical condition, I think he's fine as he was at the art gallery party on Sunday, mingling for 3 hours and on Monday he was also out socially.

Hope everyone gets to the show on time in spite of 405 and sends the Boys off with tons of good vibes....

wish I could be there but Boise was a fine fine last show of the 14 I saw on this tour...

I believe they will be back, just maybe shorter tours, smaller venues - that's my prayer at least.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Sarah

Midnight Rambler will be back I'm hopin'. Would love to hear Soul Survivor, It Won't Take Long or anything new!

In the words of my good friend Kevin Cronin, Time For ME To FLY. Look out LA, here comes Norcal.

"It's just some friends of mine and they're busting down the door"

THEY WILL BE BACK...IT'S IN THEIR BLOOD!

Everyone who's going, have a great show. I'm hoppin' on the freeway in a few minutes myself. As someone said, LET IT ROCK!
