Also, for what it's worth, I have a colleague who's a Stones fan that had an encounter with one of the Stones' supporting musicians last week. I'd rather not say who, however. Anyway, the musician told my friend that he's been told to block off time for practice in August and early September with an expectation they go on the road from September to November. The musici

For what it's worth, I was listening to the soundcheck in Columbus. They were starting to practice "Get Off My Cloud" when it began to rain and they cut it short. Not sure they have played it yet this tour but it seems like it has at least been on the drawing board.

Mongoose, I also really enjoyed your comments. Like you, I saw my first Stones concert in the summer of 1975 so this marks my 40th year as well of seeing the Stones in concert. I believe my first ticket was around $8.50. Anyway, I can remember how excited I was to finally see them in 1975. Yet the night before I saw them this year in Columbus I was still excited about seeing them - 40 years l

BV, thank you for all the valuable and interesting information you share with us. Do you know whether the Pittsburgh show will take place at PNC Park or Heinz field? Just wanted to get a jump on hotels. Thank you again; we appreciate all that you do.

I was able to get some of the $250 seats thru the automated Ticketmaster line. Their number is 1 (800) 745-3000. Good luck.

Sounds good to me. What do you base your information on?

Thanks for posting this. It was the first of my 30 plus shows over the years. I'm guessing tickets were in the $8 to $12 range.

I saw them Sturday night at Churchill Downs in Louisville and enjoyed it very much. Like most of you I like the Stones way more than anyone else so maybe I had lower expectations for the Police. But I have to say they put on a fine show. I was impressed that it was just the three of them performing, with no supporting musicians. I would recommend that you see them if you get a chance.

I saw Tim perform in Louisville and really enjoyed it. It was also fun hearing Bernard sing a few songs as well.

I'm guessing Alice Cooper will play about an hour from 6:00 to 7:00. I would assume there is roughly a one hour break before the Stones come on. Thus, I would expext them to play from about 8:00 to 9:45 to 9:55.

I've been watching these guys pretty closely since 1972 and that picture of Keith and Charlie with Ronnie is probably the strangest picture I have ever seen of them. Are Keith and Charlie dressing Ronnie down for not being professional? Sure would like to know what really happened. At least they are continuing to add to their folklore.

Live - Honky Tonk Women. I think its cool when you have thousands singing the chorus. CD/radio - Brown Sugar.

Sweethearts Together. Maybe not a terrible song, but not a song I want to hear by the Rolling Stones.

In fact, I wonder when the last time a large U.S. venue sold so quickly. Perhaps it is more common to sell quicker in Europe, Asia or Australia. Anyway, there's a real buzz in Louisville about the upcoming concert. It's a big deal here as is reflected in the strong ticket sales.

Drake, congrats on the great seats. Let's hope the strong ticket sales today point to a special show. And a special recording of said show!

Sympathy followed by Paint it Black is a powerful combination. Would've liked to have been at this show.

Great to see Under My Thumb back in the setlist. I hope it stays.

Ruby Tuesday. A very pretty but somewehat sad song.
Forum: Tell Me

I agree with those folks who mentioned Undercover. I think it's the last iime they released a song where they sounded somewhat menacing or dangerous. While not crucial, a lot of their great hits (JJF, Sympathy, Gimme Shelter, etc.) had that edge.

Drake, thanks I'll do that sometime. By the way, you nailed it earlier in this thread when you said there's the Stones then eveyone else. That's exactly how I feel as well.

I had the pleasure of attending Drake's Mempghis concert mixing party and had a great time. He is a most gracious host and knows more about about music than anyone I've ever met. Moreover, his studio brings the Stones to life! You can close your eyes and think your at a show. I would love to go on the 16th but have to watch my kids while my wife is at an out of town wedding.
