Scheduled my third shot, I hope I don't have any bureaucratic issues getting it, but if so I'll keep rescheduling till I get it. I hope everyone else who's immunocompromised or needs #3 for other reasons gets theirs soon too!

QuoteTheBluesHadaBaby QuoteJustin ...logistically how will that work? Is Charlie supposed to jump on mid-tour with no rehearsal at all? ...Charlie will have no one to rehearse with.... It's a romantic idea that Charlie swoops in mid-tour to take over but logistically it just can't happen. He's either there from the beginning (right now) for rehearsals or he'll have to

QuoteTiminIndy Sometimes I wonder why the Stones keep touring at their age, since I'm sure they all have more money than they will ever need. Often, I think it is because there are a ton of people who make a living in all of the various roles surrounding the tours. Do you think they do it for them? Personally--speaking as someone with absolutely zero inside knowledge--I think Mick, Keith

QuoteMidnightGambler I am one of those "overseas", from the old Europe and I would like to deliver a message, Me who attended to 83 Stones shows in my life. For the Rolling Stones, I crossed the Atlantic in 1989, in 1994, in 1998, in 2003, in 2013, in 2015 and in 2019. I had a ticket for Vancouver but I was refunded. In 2021, I will clearly stay at home, even if I was allowed to e

QuoteMr. Jimi What are we doing? The Stones are touring without Charlie? Whaaaa? If he is capable of returning at some point, then they should postpone. If he can't come back then, what are we doing touring without Charlie Watts and calling it the Rolling Stones? Sorry I'm just in a little shock here. Trying to digest. They’re making the best of an unfortunate situation. Reschedulin

I live in Louisiana, am double-vaxxed but immunocompromised, and at the moment hardly dare leave the house. I'm leaving it till the very last minute to see how I feel and may look for tix on Stubhub or whatever, but at the moment I can't imagine feeling safe in a big crowd this fall, which isn't that far away.

QuoteMingSubu I'm willing to risk it and willing to infect others, for the stones If you are at risk, or scared. Stay home. Easy as that. Don't be a hypocrite either. Don't bitch and cry the entire pandemic. Then go out to see the stones play. "I am willing to risk it"--awesome, have a great time! "I am willing to infect others" is just pathological.

QuoteMisterDDDD At our State Fair coming up, he (embarrassingly) didn't even make headliner status. Shame Perhaps the casino/fair circuit tix weren't moving, good excuse to bail. To be fair, he doesn't get headliner status when playing solo. I saw him supporting Clapton a few years ago (and he was much, much better than EC).
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteGasLightStreet In regard to a 2021 US/NA tour, the Stones, at the moment, only need to avoid Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Wyoming and Mississippi. Which is not a problem per their usual shows since they hardly play those states, at least, as I recall. They play Nashville and New Orleans, even if not on this tour.

QuoteNashvilleBlues From CBS News: As far as Stones fans go, I’d assume many shows would easily be over the 70% mark. Not in the south. Still stalled in the mid-30s in Mississippi and Louisiana, for example.
