Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy about it, especially since for the first time ever I opted not to go to a Stones show when I had the chance - Vegas was just too much money for the seats they were offering - tried for cheap ones but missed out. It seems my luck has turned!!

So I was at work today in Australia and lucky I was on my break (I'm A teacher and can't answer my phone in class obviously) and I get a call from a USA number. It's the desert trip people saying that my seats are now obstructed view and would I like to change them? Yes I reply, to front standing pit if possible. I get put on hold for five minutes and then she comes back sayin

I read somewhere that it was Jimmy Millers idea to strip the intro right back to Keith's rhythm guitar. When he heard how it was sitting in next to the piano part he realised how unique it was and decided it should be more prominent. Can't remember where I read this though, but it certainly makes sense!

I got decent seats on the side of stage with lucky dip in Perth. Not ultra close but a good view, and closer and better than the $600 seats I got in Sydney!

This is the worst! No luck on anything but separate $650 which with fees is $800 tickets halfway back. Forget about it! Lucky I got 12th row for desert trip!

LA times is reporting one stage and full length sets and production for all acts. This could be amazing. I'm in Australia and my friend who've I've travelled the last 3 Stones Oz tours with has already reserved a cheap hotel nearby for that weekend. Now to wait for the official announcement, get tickets and leave from work approved!

Quotephilrock90 I just received an email from Amazon UK saying that there won't be a blu ray boxset version only DVD The Eagle Rock press release says there will be. Amazon.de only has the individual Blu Ray listed and the box as DVD. Could just be a breakdown in communication...

Having his photos removed will only further diminish the general public's knowledge of his importance and great work, instead of using the opportunity to leverage some of that publicity to reignite his solo career. Not to mention further damage his relationship with The Stones. Terrible management of his affairs.

I received faulty Blu Rays of Sweet Summer Sun (which I returned) and Marquee from Japan - major interlace problems that rendered them unwatchable. The replacement Marquee was also faulty with the sound now being way out of synch! You couldn't make this stuff up. Be wary when ordering Blu Rays from Japan.

Ronnie said in an interview with The Australian last year why Mick is no longer a guest on tour with them and said “He’s a lovely guy, Mick,” says Wood, “but he’s fraught with personal problems. He’s a hell of a handful in the real world. Once he has a guitar in his hand, he’s fine.” I was shocked at how candid his answer was and it did make me think things did not end on good terms - Ronn

I've ordered the Blu Ray deluxe from cd Japan, but considering both my Sweet Summer Sun and Marquee blu Rays had interlacing faults (and then the marquee replacement had the sound out of synch!!) I will cancel and order from elsewhere if the deluxe edition becomes available. It's not wort the risk for the bonus cd tracks! Whoever is in charge of producing these Blu Rays for Japan sho

I totally understand the obligation to play all the warhorses. Unfortunately as they drop songs for shorter sets it the album nuggets we love so much and keep us coming back for more that get droppe. An extra 4 or 5 surprises is more than enough to satisfy us repeat attendees. It was the only disappointment I took away from the 14 on fire tour, especially since in 2013 they really mixed it up fo

Melbourne 2003 during Bitch Mick puts the mic down on the drum riser to shake his thing in the guitar solo. Forgets he left it there and the roadies don't notice for ages. He goes to sing the final chorus at a mic stand with no mic! The roadie quickly fixed the situation and he barely missed a beat in the end.

Quotedmay Interesting. The feuding among the members of the group reminds me of M and K. Had to check out what the line about Mick being chickensh*t was about.

But I'd like to see us in the Coliseum and he at Wembley Stadium because he's always been chickenshit to get on

Charlie has been known to show up a play at Bernard's shows. In Sydney he did, in Melbourne (unfortunately for me) he didn't. It was a great show none the less ad definitely worth checking out!

The 2011 Japan flat transfer from the master tapes SHM-SACD and SHM-CD is the one to get. Great sound. Lots of 'air' and very crankable! I'd be very wary of this release- there's not a lot of clear information about what the exact source is.

I saw the midnight screening last night. It was wonderful and actually made me feel like a kid again, which is such a rare, precious thing. I haven't smiled so much and been taken away from reality so far since I last saw The Stones from the pit over a year ago.

All three of those would be fantastic! Love the Stripped era, caught them on No Security Tour Memphis 99- they were ON FIRE (my first show too). Tried desperately to get into Sheppards Bush Empire, met Bernard out the back- he wouldn't/couldn't help. Keith showed up in his limo, I knocked on the window and he gave me a big grin and thumbs up through the glass! I have the show on
