Quotebv I remember UC had named a bar in San Jose for a glimmer party during the delayed Stones No Security shows in San Jose 1999. It was near the Fairmont. I recommended the same bar in IORR and it sort of got crowded. And they did not like it... After that I did not do any recommendations about pre-show meetings for a while. Somehow things changed from the glimmer meeting in Chicago Sept 2

it's like this wonderful time capsule of music in 1964 - where it came from, what was happening then, and the future. james brown's performance is one of the top five (at least!) live performances of all time. and the stones weren't too shabby either! ;-)

Quotegotdablouse Who knows...they're going to be building that pit during the night so I suppose they might fine tune the capacity once that's done. They would normally have done it at the Wembley Arena though... @diane d - good to hear! Were there people standing behind that GA pit, I'm still not sure how that can work unless they're assuming that everyone will be standing

oakland 1969 - ike and tina turner. there was a *long* time between sets and the consensus at the time was that mick didn't want to follow tina's amazing performance. they may have learned from the TAMI show that it's best to let some time lapse.
