Had a great time in Vegas... the walk across the Hacienda bridge made it pretty simple too... Sorry I missed the post-show bash. The Centra bar was pretty mellow before the gig, and afterward we were ready for some grub, so we just headed back down to St Rose Parkway where we were staying. Went back to Allegiant on Monday for the stadium tour, which I highly recommend. Had on a No Filte

My daughter and I will probably be hitting the Hockeytown Cafe, always a fun hang-out, even for a Blue Jackets fan! Haha!! A word of caution for those driving in... the Pistons have a home game at Little Caesars Arena on Monday night, also... it's right across I-75 from Ford Field and Comerica Park, so both crowds will be converging on the same parking facilities. Perhaps a Detroit na

I'm waiting on the numbers for Vegas... That place was packed, not sure I've seen the floor more full, from the Pits looking jammed to the Rear GA folks all the way to the back wall between the merch tents... I would imagine Allegiant Stadium hosted the single highest-grossing stadium gig in The Rolling Stones' career. Thanx for posting the numbers! Always good to see the

I'm a lucky boy in that being 6'3" tall, I usually don't have the problems seeing over stages and heads, etc... But Murphy's Law always has the dude at 6'4" end up in front of me in a GA scenario like the Pit!! But, not on Sunday... All in all, a great time was had in Minneapolis.

You should go, I've been doing it for years! The only shows I regret are the ones I didn't get to... I just did a 12-hr return drive Monday from the show in Minneapolis, to Troy, Ohio where I live... solo... maybe it's an Ohio thing!! Haha! I'm taking my 18-yr old daughter to the Detroit show, it'll be her third Stones gig after Columbus 2015 and Philadelphia in

I'm still buzzin' about this show... It occurred to me yesterday, as I meandered my way through a 12-hr workday, that being in the Pit is like bein' at a club gig... the show is right there in front of ya, you can move around the crowded floor if you so desire... Amazing! You can lose track of the stadium itself until your eyes follow Mick out onto the catwalk, then you get t

I'll comment... My excuse for being late is that I just got home a while ago from the 12hr return drive to Ohio... I had a great time in my first Pit show last night. Sounded good down there, I was hopin' the PA hangin' wouldn't go "over my head", as I've had that problem with other acts' shows where the killer seats can miss the sound. What can y

Great tour book, as always... $25 cost is pretty good too... Good long text from Anthony DeCurtis including the loss of Charlie and the decisions to continue on, both before and after his passing... Charlie is included in the book in pictures, also... If you have previous editions of Stones' tour books, this is a must-have, they're the souvenir that won't shrink!

Wow! An intimate gig to close it out, and on another 3-day gap! So close to Thanksgiving here in The States, hard to get the days off to travel to South Florida... Good luck to everyone doing this show! Should be a great one!

The Stones are one of the longest-running "families" in the business... some folks are closer to the core and some are drawn closer over time. There's a reason SJ has such a pedigree outside of The Stones. He is one of the best in the business! Great interview here, and he is a great fit for The Stones, different from Charlie but outstanding nonetheless.

QuoteDEmerson The Pink Floyd Exhibit is in Hollywood and worth seeing. I’ll (again) second the Pink Floyd exhibit for those of you going to the LA shows. At the Vogue on Hollywood Blvd. I went a couple weeks ago and it’s really cool! You can buy timed Tix in advance. Plan to spend at least an hour and a half. A must see if you’re a Floyd fan and in town. And, up the road a 10-15 minute wa

We are staying north of town off I-65... haven't ironed out the pre-show strategy yet for parking, etc. Lookin' forward to this show, the gig in 2015 was pretty loaded with surprises from Brad Paisley's guests, to him doin' Dead Flowers with The Stones, and them playing Far Away Eyes...

QuoteDGA35 My second favourite frontman! He was awesome in his prime but unfortunately age takes its toll. You can do leaping splits from the drum riser and high kicks above your head when you're in your 20s and 30s but not so much in your 50s an 60s. I've seen him more with VH and solo than any other performer. The holy grail for VH fans would be a release of a full Oakland 81 co

Hoping to get to a party Wednesday night after I roll into town, but will definitely be the early on Thursday afternoon...

I was there in Cincinnati on Friday night... really good show, and I am not a fan of Billy Joel by any stretch, but he's a RRHOFer for a reason!
