With regard to parking, nothing has really changed since the Forum days, as of my recon on Saturday. Metered parking is still available on Manchester - free after 6 pm on Thursday (LA 1) and free on Sunday (LA 2). There's a private parking lot a near the Sizzler on the NW corner of Manchester and Prairie. I imagine other lots become available on game/show day, incl. the liquor store on the S

Quote24FPS The problem for me, an L.A. resident, is the newness of the stadium. Never been there. Don't know the lay of the land. Don't know how scalpers will work. Don't really know how to get there, how to park. I hear parking is ultra expensive, like $60 USD. Plus I was listening to Steve Jordan drum on the Chuck Berry documentary. Okay, but................ Don't pay $60

Summer of 1998. Five shows in Amsterdam coinciding with two knockout victories for Holland in the World Cup. Excitement in the air. The day after the last show, Holland *almost* make it to the final. Ugh! Maybe you can find fans who can draw together those two threads, though some may still be traumatized by the nightly murder of Memory Motel by a person who shall go nameless.

Quoteonestep Well personally I really enjoyed watching the streaming performances. +1. Haven't bought a Stones video since 25x5, don't know anything about Olé. Loved seeing these shows I attended, and going over my notes from the time. Even took a bathroom (+ kitchen and laundry) break during Miss You.

Quotegrzegorz67 If they cancel, I think they would have to wait until the virus has been declared gone before announcing a rearranged tour. The Insurance will be cost prohibitive, for them and every other large scale act. They would also have to give consideration to the economy - not just damage from the virus but also from the Russia-Saudi oil price war.

If necessary, they would then push it again to next year. That&#
