Very likely the rehearsals are finished as they only usually spend a week with full band, Boston is a 6 hour direct flight back to London they may spend a week there and return to Boston towards the end of this week, with a day or two more rehearsing with Steve Jordan. Sasha's posts seem to indicate last day rehearsing was 3rd or 4th September.

The rehearsals are in a location they are familiar with, high security and soundproof, you are unlikely to hear anything unless you have special privledges to get closer to the building. No point in trying to listen to them. Will not disclose location, I only know as I can recognise the rehearsal studio from past visits. The fact that they are not posting a lot of photos from rehearsals impl

Curious how many IORR fans have a RS pinball, I purchased the Bally 1980 pinball in July 2016 from a Recording Studio in Nashville (near mint) and shipped it to Sydney Australia, purchase price was $4,000 USD, another $300 for freight within US to my agent and $550 US to freight it to Australia. Will put some photos up shortly. There were 5,700 of the 1980 machines produced.

This is merely a guess, but I believe the producer could be Tony Visconti, he as recently discussed in November he was doing Studio Work in secret in December he couldn't disclose the client. As far as secrecy he recently produced David Bowie's last album, without anyone knowing it was in production or where it was recorded until finished, he runs very tight closed studio sessions.

An attractive option for funding a show would be Mick Taylor with Bill Wyman, it would appease a lot of fans. Taylors pub tour of Australia in 2013 which was cancelled was probably likely to make say $5,000 AUD per night, Bill Would make slightly more for his shows . Put them together and offer them $20,000 AUD per night. Decent Venue with capacity of say 2,000 (small enough for IORR fan
