They could do 10 shows this fall, maybe adding some arenas...then come back next spring, start in April like was the plan in 2019. Start with Tampa and do another 10 gigs. Save Vancouver for 2022 and maybe with the border situation hopefully back to a new normal, add in shows in T.O. and Montreal. 20 gigs in 2 legs in North America, cover most all the 14 postponements plus a few arena shows i

North America deserves some Dancing with Mr. D love, too, after they pulled it out in Europe in 2017... I still love the version from Zurich on YT... And, no, I'm not trying to start the bitching about setlists vibe!! I figure if I can get one special number a show, it's worth it to me!

They could do a mini-set... bring out some stools, and unleash Country Honk, Lady Jane, Sweet Virginia et al... slow it down and all of 'em could take a little breather mid-show. I've wondered since the PPV Miami gig in '94 why they didn't go this route, but I do love the B-stage concept. After the country flair at the Nashville gig in 2015, with Brad Paisley opening and h

Great to hear Sir Mick speaking optimistically about getting the tour back on the road, but could this be a precursor to some local regulations regarding crowds in full attendance at sporting events or concerts?

I was at both tours the mighty Van Halen opened for our band - 78 in New Orleans and 81 in Orlando - (1st show.)

Hypothetical question... Would The Rolling Stones do a Canadian tour? I've seen other bands do it in smaller venues the last few years... With Canada being very reluctant to open the border with the US, rescheduling No Filter 2020 shows as they stand would not be possible, but would a Canadian leg and then a US leg later be an option?

Rob Halford talks about the quick turnaround in his new book "Confess", also... These bands were like indentured servants to their label back in those days. They owed the label a new record and big money to the label for paying their bills on tour.

Ted Templeman's book is a good read, too... In '78 they were on the road with Sabbath for the majority of their tour, which included the UK & Europe. Starting in '79, they were headlining in the US, so I'd assume their profit margin increased and they concentrated on the States mostly...
