Hoping for the best but bracing for the worst (tour cancellation). I don't see it being that hard to reschedule the tour if it were to start in July but I can't help remind myself that they canceled that 1st Vegas show less than 24 hrs prior to the show.

Written by Patteron Hood, front man of the Drive By Truckers: "There is real honor in being able to write just one Great Song, and Tom Petty has written dozens of those. But real genius is being able to write one Perfect Song — a tune in which any change would diminish it, a song that is already there in its purest and essential form. I’ve spent my entire life in pursuit of one Perfec

Quotebv It is not that complicated really. When Billboard is reporting the tour will be rescheduled to July and on, it is simply because they have inside info from the people who book venues. They are outside the band but inside that loop. They have an exact date but they will not tell because then they will blow their source. So to me this means The Stones have postponed the tour by three mon

I fear this tour is going to end up being canceled, not postponed.

Wishing Mick all the best for a speedy recovery! I am skeptical how feasible it is to reschedule a big tour of football stadiums but I'll remain optimistic until they actually refund me for tickets

For the record, i love the Grateful Dead. It took all the individual members to make it work but Garcia was really one of a kind.

Dan Healy (guy this article is about) and Owsley Stanley (the grandfather of LSD and the guy that came up with the Steal Your Face logo) were both absolutely crucial for getting concert sound to where it is today. For the music geeks here, here's a great article on the Wall of Sound the GD devised:

A month out from the Stones tour opening show! I wake up a little easier every day knowing the Stones are still out there on the road.

That 1978 JFF posted earlier made my palms sweaty. You can feel the blow pulsing across the stage. It was too much (no knock on Ronny)- Mick's just screaming the lyrics, out of control tempo. I went back and listened to the live '72 version. That's where it's at.

A bit off topic but does anyone recall the name of the guy or the website of the guy who made the Keith Gaucho shirt from Buenos Aires as well as the one from New Zealand?

Only on a Stones website would you see people talking about $450 concert tickets as a 'bargain'

tour vs a new album... We'll see what they come up with but I'm a live music junkie. As much as I'd love to see the Stones do one really good last album, Stones shows since 2012 have taken me some amazing spots around the globe. If I had to choose, I'm thankful the band is still on the road, performing at a higher level then most us would have thought possible. I'm rea

I'd say Chicago over NYC. East Rutherford isn't far from the city but its not in New York, Soldier Field is IN the city of Chicago. You've got the lake right there, in general I'll take Chicago over NYC in the summer.

I flew from CO to Argentina in 2016. It was about a 45 min drive from B.A. to La Plata but that's kind of an apples and oranges comparison, in my opinion. If I lived in the Bay area I'd 100% be there. But given all the other great cities on the tour, the proximity is one of the reasons I chose not to do this show.

Quoteerbissell Quotemnewman505 What's rather odd is that San Jose, the 10th largest city in the country is much closer to this stadium in Santa Clara than San Francisco. If this tour stop was at the baseball park in the city of San Francisco or at Oakland Coliseum (where the Stones have played previously in recent tours) then I would probably go. Those venues allowed easy public transit acce

And it's been touched on but pot is legal here. As long as you're 21 years old you can just walk into a dispensary (there must be a thousand?) and buy all the pot, edibles and anything else pot related you want. Just know most places can't take credit cards so you'll need cash
