I'm lucky I can take the time to sit for an hour or two and browse through an epic volume like this one... A great book that takes you back to '69, and I'm not 4 years old for this one!

Quotebv The tour in Europe this summer gave us some of their best shows. Just read the reports. They toured North America in 2013 and 2015, with a few bonus shows in 2012 and 2016. When they tour North America next year it will be for the first tour in four - 4 - years. I would advice any Stones fans in the area to spend a day and go see them. No Stopping, they say, but we don't know where t

We lose sight of the fact that The Stones are much more patient than we could ever be as their fans! They obviously have a broader, long-range approach, towards shows and touring especially, than any of us are privy to know about. That's why I have confidence that we will see more shows, especially when BV is gracious enough to clue us in that the work is already underway for a possi

Just checked stufish.com, but it didn't mention the stage being adaptable to arena sizes... I didn't catch that info before if it was on IORR... I must be slippin'!!

I cheated leaving Indianapolis in 2015 during Satisfaction... I was parked close and didn't wanna get stuck so I bolted when the song started and was on 465 within a few minutes! I soaked in the pyro for the other 6 gigs I saw on Zip Code, though.

Is it sad that I've become complacent to the pyro? I really noticed the small display in Coventry because it was small... guess I'm spoiled here in the US with the outdoor displays at the stadium gigs.

I remember minimal sparklers from the seating areas behind the stage in Coventry. They were much more extensive in Manchester, yet I can't remember if they were launched from inside the seating bowl or from the outside... I'm sure the folks here can help clarify...

I still believe there will be more shows, probably in 2019... The stage set-up on No Filter debuted in 2017, and it would showcase as all-new anywhere but Europe... a big expense for 2 legs of 25-30 shows total. I can see major markets like New York, LA and London serving as locations for a "residency" approach, as we see many artists doing in Vegas these days, albeit on a much s

One other small point... The "seat number" showing for the tickets ordered on my AXS page were obviously just a quantity-count since they were essentially GA tickets, but the numbers on my account page were not matched on the tickets when I picked each order up at the venue box office. No real problem with that, as I suspected that would be the case when I hopefully/finally got my
