Honky Tonk, Jumping Jack, Brown Sugar, and Tumbling Dice. 2005 Pepsi center Albany NY Tumbling dice was not played. Don't mean to be picky, but that means there are only 3 songs they played at each of your shows?!! Room 1009 you are correct , Funny thing

One for the purists, but which nonetheless intrigues me. LA Friday Band Intros 0:40 MJ introduces Olly Brown on drums, and then also introduces CW on drums. Who was Olly Brown, why have I never heard of him since or before, and why was he playing drums?

Because it's not that interesting, like all the other guff from that album that came out in the reissue. PMS was probably the best, but still not very good. I much preferred the "new" stuff on Some Girls, would have loved to see a few of those tracks.

Hyde Park 2 was my 50th Stones show, it brought my 1000th live stones song (at Tumbling Dice), and I reached 120 distinct songs (with Emotional Rescue). During that run the only 2 songs they played each show were BS and TD. A few personal milestones I wanted to share. #yesikeepaspreadsheet As far as the show was concerned, I found myself filling out the set list at least 8 songs in adva

Quotegotdablouse ....D&G went down really well again last night and some young fans just behind new ALL of its lyrics amazingly enough! Could be that they got to the Stones via the new material? They liked it and came to the show. There's always lots of kids at Stones shows, always surprises me

I loved watching this video, it made me realise how privileged I was to see both hyde park shows. I admire these fans, I don't think that a 10 foot fence ruined their day, and they probably didn't complain either about the set list or that MT only played 2 songs. What a great atmosphere. In some ways, I wish I had been there with them on the outside rather than being inside.

Kings Cross to Edinburgh is the correct train station. Kings Cross has been undergoing a lot of redevelopment in recent years, and parts are quite fashionable. Still a long way to go but not nearly as bad as 10 years ago. You can't get much grander than the St Pancras grand hotel, recently opened. This is a top top hotel, but won't be cheap. Otherwise some of the budget hotels hav

QuoteToRockAndRoll Hi all! (In particular Room1009).... I landed the following tickets for Thursday's show: Block 113, 113, Row: U, Seat: 402,403 This seems more or less opposite what Room1009 had in Block 118. How could it be that those seats are face at 400, while others in the section are 226 or 150? Is there really that much of a difference? I also have seats in 103 which

The main questiosn I want to ask are these: 1.is it possible that TM are dumping tickets straight to their own reseller market in order to create a false market? 2.are they doing this with the tacit approval of the promoter, if not the band themselves? 3.is this sort of thing normal in the industry? 4. is it now so obvious that the ticket market has been rigged for this tour due to the ver

Going out on a limb here with a conspiracy theory. Are we victims of a price fixing scam? The lack of tickets via TM, even in the seconds following ticket release, coupled with the immediate availability in the reseller market has got me thinking. Is it possible that a large chunk of tickets have been taken out of the primary system and dropped straight in the secondary market? This would g
