Quoteonlystones Based upon the info I've on IORR, it has been hinted by a few people, including BV, that says Fonda '15 is "supposed" to be released soon after the show. Strictly conjecture, but that is how I interpret what is being said. It will not be a part of the deluxe SF release, because the album is already pressed. I actually held a copy of it when I was filmed for

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotefunky415 I flew down from San Francisco on Tuesday morning hoping to score a miracle ticket to see the Rolling Stones play at the Fonda Theatre. After spending Tuesday evening with a good friend and Stones insider it became very clear that this was more of a private party and that if any tickets were released they would be next to impossible to score.

May be 20 came later. Total 100 or so. Then the invited pink wristbands. The total house was aroundf 600-700 people. Not many. The rest was space for cameras and mixers. Thanks for that BV!

QuoteStoneburst QuotebvForget about the celebrities list. There will always be celebrities like presidents, kings, queens, mayors, Jack Nicholson (he is a great fan by the way) and so on. Let them drive their fine cars and sit on their balconies. They bring TV stations and they bring publicity so any band in the industry would love to have those in the crowd.

I'm going to agree with you BV. I was at rehearsals at 3rd Encore when nobody was there. I got the info because of a friend who does some work there, and I sometimes rent studios myself. I could have even rented the adjacent studio, but for what? To ruin some band's privacy? I was told posting the location was frowned upon by you so I kept it to myself. As far as fans getting in,

Lots of folks here seem to be vilifying those who were able to attend, but many of the people I talked to at the show had been interviewed and did indeed have great, heartfelt stories to share from their personal lives. Writing from the heart and a willingness to go on-camera as a Stones champion were the surest ways to get in as

Quotecrawdaddy After all that has happened in the last 3 days, they have pulled off a great publicity stunt for sales of SF, and sales of gig tix. The Fonda gig , and everything that went with it,was a business venture that will probably pay off very well by the end of July. That's one way to look at it... Another is that they are giving people what they want, that they love playing

Oh, and one of the other highlights of the show is when MJ announced a tribute to BB King and played Rock Me Baby. I've played this myself a hundred times at gigs and the band usually nails it, but watching The Stones play it was something else. They really nailed it!

OK, so some of you commented wanting to hear some sort of "review" of the show. I'm sure it's been already dissected by "critics", but hey, reviews are just one person's opinion anyway....
