Still loads of floor seats for Pittsburgh. Though I remember a late 90s, Autumn show in Buffalo where sales were slow up till a day or 2 before the event. Sitting outside on a crisp Autumn evening in the north can either be wonderful under clear skies....or absolutely miserable if it's raining. Rain on an 80F night is refreshing. On a 50F night goes right thru you. Hoping its dry under a

Pittsburgh will be my 14th Stones show but first Lucky Dip, and given the sad loss of Charlie, Ronnie's battles with cancer and simply the challenges of the boys being close to 80, for the first time ever, I truly feel it may be my last show. Any strategy to get better seats when picking them up, or are seats just in random envelopes with your name on them, and what you receive is what yo

Maybe it's just been my luck, but I have seen them play Out Of Control so many times, it has joined Miss You as a beer/restroom break song LOL. I am seeing the band in Pittsburgh on this tour, 3rd show. Maybe they'll still be experimenting with the setlist.

I would love to see The Nude Party as the opener for the tour. Younger Stone-ish vibe. If they need to sell more tickets, Cage The Elephant as an opener could do that....but can't get a bump in ticket sales if no one knows who's opening.

No Charlie = No Stones makes NO sense. That would mean Happy, Shine A Light, It's Only Rock-n-Roll, You Can't Always Get What You Want and perhaps other songs aren't actually The Rolling Stones as someone other than Charlie played the drums?

When you get to the edge of average life expectancy, I am guessing putting off anything is something you'd want to avoid. It's hard to book stadiums in the US for a year away (and even some arenas) as most long term leases with sports teams give one or more teams priority on claiming dates they want. The NFL doesn't do schedules more than a few months ahead of the season starti

1. Exile - soulful, wide-ranging, love every track on a double album, never tire of it. Greatest album of all time by any band 2. Sticky Fingers - Brown Sugar, Bitch and Angie are fine, but what I love most are the rest of the tracks. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Sister Morphine, Moonlight Mile, Sway are pure masterpieces 3. Beggars - their first great album start to finish for me. As

6 weeks from the show and it seems like there are a LOT of tix still for sale in all but the cheapest seats? On Ticketmaster they seem like they are original tix, not ones offered for resale. Stones fans in Pittsburgh known for waiting before buying tix?
Forum: Tell Me

The tour will happen unless it is looking like they will be playing to lots of empty seats at too many venues. Many seem to have plenty of tix left. All the NFL stadiums they are playing in will be hosting much bigger crowds before and after the Stones appear at the venues. I feel bad for my neighbors to the north that may not be able to enter the US by land, if the closure gets extend

I got a pair of Pitt Lucky Dips the morning tix went on sale. Also had tix for Buffalo, but now using that refund from Ticketmaster to finance going to Pittsburgh. Hotel walking distance to the stadium. 4 hour ride there. Looking very forward to it
Forum: Tell Me

I don't get the whole 'betrayal' thing. Charlie's recuperating and will rejoin the tour when well. The band forged ahead after kicking out Brian, Bill quitting, Stu's sad passing. Was it a betrayal when they had Jimmy Miller play drums on You Can't Always Get What You Want, IORR, Shine a Light, and Happy, and likely others? Or Bill Plummer playing bass on Rip

I have LDs for Pittsburgh. I had regular seats for Buffalo. Driving 4 hours to Pittsburgh then picking up my tickets, I could not imagine scalping them. If they're at the top of the stadium, I'll be watching the show on big screens, along with 75% of the crowd. I am hoping to draw great seats. I am sure it will be my last Stones show.
Forum: Tell Me

I know Buffalo, with the NFL controlling the stadium, only had one possible week in September to host a show. Guessing that is why Buffalo is out. Guessing Vancouver is out because of questions of when the border was to open. Though they seems to be settled in the last 2 days, I'm sure the schedule and logistics were already in-place.
Forum: Tell Me

Got an email saying my Lucky Dips for Pittsburgh are still good. Though would much rather have seen them in Buffalo 5 minutes away vs 4 hours. Booked a hotel walking distance from the stadium in Pittsburgh already. Getting ready for salads with French fries on them and Iron City beer.
Forum: Tell Me

Bummed about Buffalo, but knew there was only one week that could work for it in September, and they aren't starting till after that. At least I know I have that cash, likely minus service fees, and will use it to travel to Pitt, where I have some Lucky Dips

I think (sadly) an awful lot depends as much on an insurance company underwriting a tour with all the possible risks (Covid, Ronnie's health...hell everyone's health in the band, local mandates popping up, etc), as it does on the band being ready and willing to hit the road. An actuary in an office building somewhere, who prefers classical and jazz, plus occasionally going wild and l

I have never seen them but will at this festival 10 minutes from my house. The band on the bill I really want to see is Neal Francis, who's record and vibe seems direct from 1970-1972.

QuoteTKinOH Nice piece about the return of stadium gigs, including The Stones... The article mentions Billy Joel moving stadium shows to 2022 after postponing from 2020 to 2021...but he is playing the same stadium here in Buffalo that the Stones postponed were to play in 2020.....in 7 weeks from now, to full capacity (assuming he can sell that many tickets)

QuoteMr Jimmy Just thinking out loud here, but based on comments (even from Mick?) that it may not be possible to do the exact tour as it was originally planned... We already know that San Diego isn't happening unless they switch to Petco Park, which is a baseball stadium and would go against the other venues that are American Football stadiums.

Hanging out with an old college roommate tomorrow who's coming to town for a visit. I was Stones/Who/Kinks and he was into Floyd and Genesis, two bands I did not listen to at all at age 18 - just too mellow. Getting high and listening to Umma Gumma converted me pretty quickly. Downloading this now and looking forward to going back in time, cranking this up with him tomorrow. Thanks
