Only 3 weeks 'til opening night, so I'm sure we'll be hearing some news soon... I figure Zac Brown Band might still play in Jacksonville, their schedule is open around the new date of 7-19. I look forward to the variety of bands The Stones seem to book on the last few tours, even though my ears like it loud! The halcyon days of Van Halen, Metallica and Motley Crue gettin

Any info on the parking at FedEx? Is it $50 on event days, like it is to buy in advance? Or less? Thinking of Green A for a quick exit? Staying in Springfield, VA on 7-2 and 3...

Zip Code didn't have some openers announced until days before the show, if I remember correctly... Someone here can confirm that for me. I prefer heavier and louder bands, so I don't see that happening for my tastes... Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised!

I booked a spot in the Waldron garage... staying down in Valpo and driving in, so figured this was my best option. I was gonna skip this gig since my last few times driving into Chicago have been less than joyous, but my buddy Dave wanted to take his daughter for her first Stones gig... and now we get to see the opener!! Smart friends are great to have... See you all there!

Zac Brown Band had been announced for Jacksonville on 4-24... I noticed on their website that they have days off around the new 7-19 date for Jacksonville. Maybe still slotted for this show? Anyone else hoping for some heavy rock openers for some of these shows?

Mick will be a monster on this tour, in Chicago especially, since he'll have something to prove to himself and everyone. I can hear the rave reviews now... And my bud is the one who wanted to do the first night, and take his daughter to her first Stones gig... I was gonna skip these since the thought of Chicago traffic is less than thrilling!

Got new reservations for Landover and Foxborough, and I booked a room in New Orleans, too... Gonna string N.O. and Jacksonville together, hopefully! Hard to be at work today with all the info flowing, now that there's new dates announced, but I'm happy with those 3 bookings. I leapt on Philly reservations last night with the rumor of 7-23 already floating, so when BV added it to th

I pulled the trigger on a new reservation for Philly... still need re-arrangements for Foxborough and Landover, but gotta work tmrw to make up for bein' off Monday flying back from LAX for the missed Glendale/Pasadena binge... Great week though... Yngwie in Vegas, Dodger game last Saturday and 1205 miles on 2 different Charger R/Ts rented for the 2 round-trips from LA to Vegas and back.

I always pay close attention during It's Only Rock 'n' Roll... just to see if Mick wants to get raunchy when he bets she thinks she's the only woman in town... And in Chicago on 3rd June, 2013, he did! My bud was yappin' away with some lady sittin' next to us, but I was focused... Now if someone could link it, I'm systems-challenged...

Quotelivefromuk From my buddy who works for one of the venues on the tour, announcement should be next week. His venue in the north east is slated for July. So a “July-Aug” tour based on that. (Not sure if it could start as early as late June.) As of right now the ONLY date for his venue is July, so no Sept/Oct tour. It also sounds like announcement was pending based on venue / tour logistics an

I was wondering about the travel restriction placed on someone recovering from this procedure, also... Anyone here on IORR with experience on this detail? It is good to see that Mick is well enough to travel, and always good for a sighting of the man on the move.

What are folks' opinions on whether the Canadian gig will happen? "The List" doesn't show it, nor have room to schedule it in there... I have a Gold Circle ticket, and was lookin' forward to it.

I never attended a Stones gig until Cincinnati in '89, as I was only 16 when they toured in '81... But my buddy Dave had 2 older sisters who were fans, so he and another bud Mark went with his sis and her boyfriend to Pontiac on December 1st, after not being able to get seats via mail order for either of the Cleveland shows. They drove back all night after the show since we had scho

Never overdid it at a Stones gig, but had a couple of excessive Aerosmith and Motley Crue gigs... As some stated, I was more than lucky more than a few times that nothing really, really bad happened to me or others. Crazy now how the legal scene is emerging across the US, slowly but surely... perhaps we were ahead of our time! Retirement could be a lot of fun!

Also with those dates, there's no week-ish gap in the early run of dates, but two 6-day spreads towards the end. Wondering if they'd do Burl's Creek the weekend before Miami, then time to rest and truck from ON to South Florida, giving them a week to chill similar to the gap after Dublin last year? Burl's Creek has a festival ending on 8-11, seems they could stage the ma

With that list of dates, the one possible clash seems to be the load-in for a Seattle date on 10-22, as the Seahawks are at home on 10-20. Flip the Denver and Seattle dates: Denver has an open window 10-17 to 11-3 Seattle has an open window 10-20 to 11-3 This could give the Denver gig a few more days to cheat Mother Nature, but still iffy I'm sure.

Looking at the NFL schedule from Week 1, the weekend of 8th September through the weekend of 24th November, The Stones would see a maximum of 10 venues with games on any given weekend. This includes the Superdome in New Orleans if they wanna make good on their gig there... At least 5 or 6 choices to reschedule on a given weekend sounds feasible to me... A speedy recovery and good health to

Last night I checked out Yngwie Malmsteen at Oddbody's in Dayton... billed as a Master Class, a guitar clinic by the man himself. It was just him and his wall of Marshalls, playing to backing tracks which included his axe, so it was kinda double-tracked live. Only did 45-50 minutes, but it was a unique show! Next up for me is Yngwie again, this time in Vegas at the House of Blues on 8t
