So what are the ticket prices, not counting VIP packages? I haven't seen them mentioned anywhere.

So these rumored dates are occuring every 4 days, from April 20 to 24 to May 2. That should make the Houston show April 28. The 2 NJ shows are 4 days apart as well. Thanks for making the screenshot Cristiano, I couldn't figure out how to do that!

So are there still any rumored shows for Texas or are we off the list at this point? I've seen both Dallas and/or Houston rumored but not lately.

Why are the Stones incapable of releasing a complete show on DVD? Seems like every release is edited, from the Voodoo Lounge and Bridges to Babylon PPVs to the Four Flicks and Bigger Bang box sets. Is Shine a Light complete? Ugh.

The Ramones at the Back Room in Austin, TXl 1988. I was in high school and my ears rang for 3 days straight. There was a pole in the middle of the floor and I held onto it for dear life during the heavy moshing. I was bruised and deaf for days, a real badge of honor.

I'm trying for tickets to Paul McCartney tomorrow in Austin and it promises to be a very hard ticket, his only show in Texas and in an arena with only 12,500 capacity for the show. I need to get 3 tickets for myself, my wife, and her mother. Going for the 2nd or 3rd price level of $167 or $85. Is it a bad idea to try for 3 tickets together or should I try for a pair and a single? I have a fe

Quotetexas fan I was there, and it was a good show, for that time period. Memory fades,and we don't have an audience tape to compare, but I'd say there are overdubs on Under My Thumb, considerable edits on Sway and She's So Cold, both overdubs and edits on Get Off of My Cloud and a number of of vocal overdubs. I've only watched the dvd a couple of times and haven't

I only saw one show and that was in my hometown of Austin, TX 10/22/06. It was a great show with 3 cover songs, 2 of them being world premieres (Bob Wills is Still the King and Learning the Game.) Plus their first time ever to play here so it was a major news event. Hopefully we'll all get to see it on DVD soon. Also, it didn't hurt that I got to meet the band backstage before th

Thanks for the replies. I'm willing to trade it for pretty much any Stones show I don't have, especially from the current tour. I'll be in touch after I get the show tonight.

I'm getting the Austin 10/22/06 show on 2 CDRs later today and would like to offer it up for trade here. I'm especially looking for DVDs of Rio and Buenos Aires as the ones I got on a trade from Greece are bad and attempts to get replacements have proven futile. I've never uploaded a show before so am not sure how to do that, or if I have permission from the taper to do that but w

Thanks for the nice compliments all. One thing I forgot to mention is that meeting all of them happened in rapid succession, literally one right after the other. There wasn't time to pause and think what to say to each member before the next one was greeting you. It made it very surreal, like going down a greeting line at a wedding or graduation ceremony, only much more intense. I went

At 6pm yesterday I met Mick, Keith, Ronnie, and Charlie backstage before their concert in Austin. There were 2 meet and greets, one for Radio Shack VIP and one for record label/radio stations/contest winners. I fell in the latter category. They took us by rented van to the backstage area where we waited for about 45 minutes and snacked on pretzels, candy, wine, and beer. Deciding to make use

Does anyone have a rough idea when they usually do soundchecks? I'm going to the Austin show on Sunday and am wondering if the soundcheck will be sometime Saturday afternoon/evening or before the gates open at 3 on Sunday. How has it traditionally been done?
Forum: Tell Me

Just wondering if anyone here has met the Stones backstage this tour before a show. I've heard they have photo-ops with VIP but that there are no autographs or personal cameras allowed. They have a professional photographer take your photo and email it to you later. If you've been lucky, what are they like backstage? Do they met people individually, shake hands, etc?
