Quotemnewman505 I'll admit that Cohl definitely had a vision but he was not Bill Graham by any means, still i'd take him over what we have now because at least with Cohl from Steel Wheels through A Bigger Bang there was a common person in charge of the whole touring apparatus. Now we definitely don't have that. AEG's man behind the scenes:

Quoterbk Getting in and out of Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a pain in the arse. Or at least it was 25 years ago when I went down for a 500. Two hours to get in. Two hours to get out. Now, this is based on a crowd for the race of about 300,000. I'm guessing the Stones will perform to less than a third that number but still... I doubt traffic/parking for this will be much of a problem. Th

Yes, MisterDDDD. It's not bad, just a big let down after learning they might play multiple times at Forest Hills or at least once at Red Rocks, which is less than 30 minutes from where I live.

Quotebv Raleigh NC and Quebec City Canada added to the tour list. Thanks for all the updates BV. But these latest lists are a huge disappointment, without Red Rocks, Forest Hill, or any other smaller venue. Milwaukee looks to be the best place.

Yes. And I agree Keith's guitar intro is genius. Many times I've thought "how did he come up with that?". Hendrix did many amazing things with a guitar, but for me, nothing stays so fresh and beautiful to hear as Kieth's relatively simple intro - and his rhythm that follows. I've listened to probably over a hundred versions of GS and thousands of times in total.
