They'll probably add several additional shows in the US in September then finish off with the far East/ Australia in October and November. There's still time to add a couple additional US shows after Giants Stadium and after Montreal.

Just read online a tentative August 24 date for Mosaic Stadium in Regina, same place the Stones played on the Bigger Bang tour. If that's the case, possibly stadium shows in Winnipeg, Calgary/Edmonton and Vancouver?

Big gap between Grand Rapids and Tacoma. I can see some Western Canada dates slotted in there.

AC/DC rarely does stadium shows in North America, although they have played BC Place in Vancouver as well as Skydome in Toronto. Most times it's multiple arena shows in the bigger cities.
Forum: Tell Me

I would assume they'll be doing a stadium tour of North America this summer since they've got the stage in Europe right now, although I don't know if it's just their regular arena stage but expanded. Read reports of them playing the new Texas Stadium in Dallas. I can see them playing several outdoor shows in Western Canada like Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton and Calgary as well

Tickets for the Vancouver show went on sale today. I've seen a couple commercials on tv promoting the show and they just show clips of him in concert playing songs like Maggie May, etc. I don't think he's touring to promote anything new right now. Similar to Fleetwood Mac, they're touring but don't have anything new to promote. Their Vancouver show at GM Place sold ou

That is Al Franken in that sketch. He was part of the original SNL cast, although he was mainly a writer I believe. I remember one bit he did on Weekend Update in January 1980 proclaiming it to be the Al Franken decade and he was selling souvenir copper Lincoln memorial coins (pennies).

Might even be funnier than Spinal Tap! Yes, that is vintage footage of the Stones crowd and the footage in London was the premiere for A Hard Day's Night.

Further to my first post regarding Robin Klein, I wonder if the Stones wrote the song and then Allen Klein heard/saw it and decided to put the RMK after it since he was their manager and music publisher? Maybe none of the band knew about it until afterwards?
Forum: Tell Me

Bon didn't write any of the songs on BIB. On Behind the Music (I think), there was an interview with Malcolm where he said they were in the studio writing songs and he said they were almost ready for Bon to come in and start on the lyrics when he died. When Brian was hired, Angus said they weren't looking for just a Bon impersonator. One must remember too, that in North America, AC/DC

This question was asked a couple years ago but I don't think we got a definite answer. I always assumed it was Mick's falsetto voice at the beginning of the song. When the CD's were re-released in 2002, I read that RMK was the initials of Allen Klein's daughter Robin. Whether that's true or not I don't know. I always thought it was remake.

Klein's ABKCO own's the publishing rights but this song is actually a Nanker Phelge credit (not just Jagger/Richard) so all of the Stones (including Brian's estate?) should get royalties from Lil Wayne's version after Klein gets his cut. Similar situation with The Verve. ABKCO owns the publishing rights but it's still a Jagger/Richard composition so they all would have

I think the Aud had an ice surface of around 194 feet. Both Chicago Stadium and Boston Gardens had smaller ice surfaces of around 188 feet. I always found it a bit odd that baseball seems to be the only sport where there's no uniform size for the fields in regards to the distance to the outfield wall.

The Pacific Coliseum is currently undergoing some renos since the Olympics will be here in a little over a year. Vancouver Giants of the WHL play there. Saw the majority of my concerts at the Coliseum. Sticking with the Buffalo theme, I hope the Bills don't eventually move to Toronto. It would kill the CFL and give the rest of Canada another reason to hate Toronto!

What a scary incident with Clint Malarachuk. For those that don't follow hockey, he was a goalie and his throat got slashed by a skate blade. I'll always remember the Sabres for their teams from the late 70's when they had the famed French Connection line of Gilbert Perreault,Rene Robert and Rick Martin. I wasn't sure if the Aud was still around. Thanks for the update.

I like the Eagles but in concert, they don't move around at all. I'd just as soon watch one of their recent concert DVD's. How much are concert tickets? I think the Eagles were the first band to have tickets over $100 for their reunion tour back in the mid 90's.

However, a friend of mine that went to the same show but was sitting in the upper balcony on the opposite endzone didn't think it was that great, even though she's a big Stones fan.

They're in Vancouver tonight. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get tickets since they sold out in 4 minutes. Actually no one I know was able to get tickets. I'm hoping they swing through here again next year since they haven't announced any other Western Canada tour dates yet.
