Did you hear a tour announcement? Did you buy tickets for any shows? Did you spend money on travel plans? If the answer to any of the above is 'yes' , you might have a point. I'd wager that most potential ticket buyers outside of those who use internet forums weren't even aware of a pending tour announcement, let alone where the concerts were likely to be. It wo

A lot of you may know Bob (Mr D) from Florida, who has shared a lot of great music on here and elsewhere over the last few years. He's been having a few health issues in recent times and has asked me to let his friends on here know that he's off to Orlando VA Medical Centre today for surgery to amputate the big toe on his left foot, so he'll be unable to be in touch with a while

Quoteslewan it's really strange: when other band members got Covid the public got informed more or less immediately. And now they are cancelling shows due to 'illness'… (and don't even confirm who's ill) They never confirmed it was a band member either. It could just as easily have been a close family member.

QuoteSpodlumt They are playing two nights at the Mayo Theatre in Morristown, NJ. Not an arena, but a small theatre. VIP seats down front? $563.00 each. For The Doobie Brothers? Playing a small theatre justifies it far more than it does when its an arena or a stadium I dont get the last bit. Is it inconceivable that a LOT of artists have a fanbase who really like them enough to buy pricey

Quotewupperstein What is the source that one of the group got injured? If people told the world who their sources were its safe to say they'd never get any other info again. It's up to you as to whether you believe it or not. Thanks, mpj2000 for the info. If anything, its reassuring that this suggests the delay isn't for reasons that are alarming.

QuoteCaptain Teague Who is the drummer? He seems to work on the basis of "more is more" but really his style for Rolling Stones songs is "more is less". Anton Fig. Played on the 'She's the Boss' album. He was the drummer on Paul Shaffer's house band on the David Letterman show, which presumably is why he's on this.

I'd like to think so going by the label and the crappy artwork! 'All Along The Watchtower' wasn't played at this show (24/2/86). Its probably from Tacoma 31/7/86 as that show plus the 24th and 25th February shows in Sydney were recorded for a Westwood One radio broadcast in the States. The rest of the songs are probably taken from both Sydney shows.

QuoteRisingStone It did happen on the 1978 Some Girls US exclusive tour. On most of the dates, the Stones played 8 out of the 10 songs from the new album, put together in the middle of the 19-song set rather than spread over and mixed up with other old songs.
