Radio City Music Hall, March 14. 2006, the Robin Hood Benefit concert for the homeless in NYC. The Hall seats about 5800 and I moved up very close. What a night! Mick & Keith did " As Tears Go By", acoustic version under one spotlight!I cried...it was a extraordinary performance! I wish I could revisit that night!

Nobody does it better, plain & simple! I was thrilled at the standing ovation that he received, he was surprised by it! And yes, as many have already said, he looked amazing, refreshed, and youthful. I didn't see him limping, but anyway, it made my night to see him looking so beautiful & happy!

I doubt that the Stones are FRIENDS with Kraft, a very sleazy old man...he just pays them tons of money for private shows!

I met with Mick Jagger twice, actually long encounters and they are my best memories to date! I also have a good friend who has an " IN" with the band and I was invited to the Stones' after-party during No Security at the Four Seasons in Philly where I met Lisa Fischer, Bobby Keyes, all of the brass section and had a long chat with Lisa and Chuck Leavell. Sat & had a drink with

The acceptance for winning Best Rock Album was NOT SHOWN during the live telecast! What a PISSER! Not one word was said about the Stones winning a Grammy! What a frigging show! They'd rather show rappers winning awards for crap that doesn't even qualify to be called music!There were some great moments during the show, like Alicia Keyes' speech about inclusion and the best part was

I got to hear " I Got The Blues " too on their No Security Tour as you did, in Hartford! In 2019 they did " Play With Fire" in Foxboro which was an amazing treat and so well done!! Some of these older songs are so beautifully constructed & yet so simple I could never understand their resistance to playing them. Songs like " She Smiled Sweetly", " Blue Turns

For me it's Exile On Main Street, hands down their finest hour. Exile captures the Stones' raw energy and creativity and Mick's vocal on Let It Loose is blistering & hot, honest and emotional...his best vocal ever, IMO. Combine that with Shine A Light, Ventilator Blues, Loving Cup....like I said, their very best!

Still reeling from the horrible news of Gary's passing. It must be true that the good die young...he is simply not replaceable. Life is cruel...such an understatement. He will never be forgotten here on IORR and across Stones World. Rest in perfect peace, Gary. You've left us all heartbroken.

This is just the worst possible news...the passing of one of the sweetest men that ever graced this site...The photo of him from Glasgow 2006 shows he loved the Stones t-shirt I sent to him from my home in Massachusetts after attending the Radio City Robin Hood Benefit Show. ( March 2006). Although we never met in person we kept in touch through social media & emails...he was one of a kind wi

I have an incredible ticket/seat for sale for the Gillette Stadium show on May 30. It's in Section 112, ROW ONE, very close to the stage & just above the floor. I have it listed on Stub Hub because I have had great experiences with them in the past. Check it out, I just need to recoup the money I spent. Thank You!

I have an extra ticket for the Foxboro show on May 30 and it's listed on StubHub. It's an incredible seat, section 112, ROW ONE!!! I have another ticket and need to just get my $$ back on the extra ticket. Very close to the stage, just above the floor, as a matter of fact, you can hop down to the floor from this Row 1 seat. Check it out. Thank you! My ticket just sold!!

I just dropped the price on this ROW ONE seat! Go to Stubhub.com & check it out! Very close seat!
Forum: Ticket Trader

There's nothing wrong with Stub Hub! I've bought tickets there and they are honorable. I currently have a ticket for sale there for the Gillette Stadium show, Foxboro Massachusetts on May 30. I have an extra ticket, it's in Sec 112, ROW 1, seat 11...no one in front of you, just the floor and an awesome view of the stage, very close. Check it out!

I have a single seat listed on STUBHUB for this Foxboro show near Boston, Section 112 ROW 1, seat 11. I cannot attend so I'm forced to sell my ticket. The price is less than HALF of what comparable seats are going for. Check it out! I'm sure it won't last much longer. This seat is VERY CLOSE to the stage and right on top of the floor seating!
Forum: Ticket Trader

Thanks, DEmerson! I'll check out 128 & 129. I won't try General Admission ever again, I almost got trampled when I had a GA ticket. Money is a major concern but safety is #1...I think the side seats are safer than front of stage and you get to sit a bit more for us older folks!
Forum: Tell Me

I've been scouting tickets for this show and the prices for decent seats still seem to be OUT OF SIGHT! Does anyone know where to buy a relatively close side-seat, for under $600? I've checked Seat Geek & Stub Hub and they are still very high. I hate Ticketmaster but I did look there...way out of line! Thanks in advance for any info!

I'd not pick any of those you listed but Id go with EXILE...hands down their very best album ever! After that I'd pick Sticky Fngers and Let It Bleed!

Here we go, dissed Chuck AGAIN! Very tiresome! Chuck & Bernard add a tremendous amount of possitivity to the Stones' overall sound. I think some people just like being negative...to quote some genius from long ago, " if it ain't broken, don't fix it!" I hope Chuck's wife is well enough so he CAN tour with the band this year.

Why is everyone only thinking of transportation from Boston to Foxboro? Why aren't you looking at small towns near the stadium? Hotels there might even offer a shuttle service. Boston is a flaming NIGHTMARE to get in & out of! Just a thought!

Floor seats for $499??? I was looking at Foxboro pricing & even the side seats are $800-$900!! Floor seats are listed at over $1100! Does each venue set their own prices?? I joined AARP again just to get a better deal on tickets and the AARP site sent me directly to TICKETMASTER....who I HATE dealing with! Has anyone had a different situation with AARP? If so, I'd love to hear about it

A word of advice for those booking hotels...tell the reservationist that you're coming in for a business meeting, NOT a Stones concert! I just tried to book 2 nights at a Red Roof Hotel...the night BEFORE the show was $139 and the night of the show went up to $368!! I am going to speak with the manager on Monday to explain why he can't rip off those coming in for meetings just because t

Not being a fan of Bad Bunny, I almost turned off SNL, which I watch every week...so glad I stayed with it!

No, ROPENI, Mick is not wearing a wig. I do think he's using a different colorist and it does look great...but that is such a trivial thing to discuss in light of the fact that the Rolling Stones tore it UP last night proving to all of the critics that they are still the best rock ' n roll band in existence...that EVER existed!
