QuoteHairball I bet (hope) they change the entire stage that was used for the Sixty tour, or at least change the ugly/busy/gaudy/eyesore design that was used. Maybe something more minimal and classy - something similar to the giant towers of No Filter which didn't distract from the performance, but embellished it. Hey! Nothing more classy than a surrealistic depiction of blood and yello

QuoteHarlem Shuffler I remember a choir after the Stones had left the stage singing (I think) Land of Hope and Glory. If it wasn’t that it was another rousing British anthem. Great memory! Sally mentions "Land of Hope and Glory" in the book, specifically requested by Mick and sung by members of the LSO choir.

QuoteGerardHennessy I honestly think that a fall tour may be too soon for at least one of the 'big three'. Maybe even more than just one of them. The Stones are fine. It's some of the fans I'm worried about.

QuoteNikkei It's funny how official photographers only work on the first few songs when they could get so many fantastic shots later on. They are escorted in and escorted out by a band or venue rep. No option to stay longer. The band is aware of their presence and makes the appropriate poses during those first 2 or 3 songs.

QuoteHairball The weird vibes have been clear to anyone. For starters, there have been many people who have caught coronavirus including many members here who had to miss some shows, Mick himself getting Covid resulting in a postponed show (and one that was cancelled), Sasha missing a show, and then most recently shortened setlist due to the heat in Lyon. Probably quite a few more, but here&
