Seems like others thought the sound was good? I was in A10 and the sound was pretty dreadful much of the time. I couldn't tell if it was the mix, the equipment or my position (most likely this). I was in front of the audio/lighting tent which could have caused some echo. While it was a fantastic show I couldn't feel the crowd much of the time--again likely due to my seating. THe rows of

This place is getting electrified. I've met so many good guys down on the streets (Socalstones, sundevil, PeterH, Jimmy). Heard some of the rehearsal (YCAGWYW, All Down the Line, Moonlight Mile, etc.). Going to be awesome!!!! For those who aren't here, I'll enjoy it for you. Will try to tweet (@nathandragoo). T minus 3(ish) and counting!

Just heard news from someone who knows someone who ran into Gary Clarke Jrs band, GCJ starts at 8, play until 8:45. Stones onstage at 9:15. May be common knowledge, just passing it along as I get it.

Is anyone hoping that Doom and Gloom will NOT be part of the setlist? I'm a bit tired of that song live. Mick really seems to love playing that the last 2 tours. Don't mind me, just too excited to sleep

Took some photos from the top of the parking garage, not the greatest quality, but you can see the floor seating is in place and all the section signs were being put out. And then a shot of some upper level bar/club with Stones posters. Also met Sundevil on the street, good meeting Stones fans!

A note on the sizing for the ladies shorts--the run really small. My wife is normally a small or medium (5'1" and 125 lbs--guessing since she won't tell me). Anyway, cute looking shorts, but she bought large after seeing how small they were at the merch trailer and then just tried them on--really snug. So, if you buy them, go 2 sizes larger (at least).

Quotevintage stone Hi Longhorn, are you at Petco Park? I was earlier. Roaming around throughout the day. Staying pretty close by. Back at the hotel now, hoping to hear news of a soundcheck or rehearsal if anyone knows anything.

Quotevintage stone Please send Pics of the Tourbook of the current tour. And the price. I didn't see the tourbook at the trailer, but I may have missed it. I'll check later.

Also, on the cool litho, it's pretty rigid and NOT in a tube. This would make transporting it home difficult, so I opted not to buy. Very cool, though.

video: From a few hours ago, the doors rolling open on the merchandise trailer. The music playing was coming from the trailer, not a soundcheck. Getting exciting here! I'll continue to post updates if you want to follow me on twitter (@nathandragoo). If the video doesn't load, just click the link.

QuoteJayBee Quotelonghorn14 not great photos, but still cool to see things coming together. Very little to see here in the photos, but excited nonetheless! OMG I'm so excited!How did you get in the gates? They were locked when we walked by. Have fun at the show!!! Gates were locked, but was able to take a photo through them where K street runs through the stadium.

They are getting the place ready. We saw the merch truck as well. We asked someone in the truck (which was empty) when merchandise would go on sale, he said tomorrow. I also saw a man (well-dressed in business attire) with a stack of small posters. I asked where he got them and he gave me one. I then started seeing them in all the shop and bar windows minutes later.

Not to take us off topic too much, but what do we know about plans beyond North America? I'd like to catch a show or two in NA, but also want to save some nickels for a South America show. Any thoughts from anyone? thanks, nathan

Hopefully this post works. We were on the rail, nobody in front of us. About 30 seconds into e song (START ME UP) a woman wearing a hood came in front of the barricade and sat down. She was clearly trying to disguise herself, but took the hood off when seated. You'll see her in the first minute or so for a brief glimpse. Almost certain it's Theodora Richards?

I completely agree with your post, Milio. I was right on the rail, Keith's side. solid guitar work, great (loud and clear) acoustics. Did keith's Tele seem louder/brighter than usual? Great crowd. Only complaint was the wait to get in, and more than that the $hitshow at the merchandise tents. I saw them in Hyde Park last year, to me, this is an energized and improved band. I have loads

For "cool" factor, I'd have to say the Zilker Park gig in Austin was magical. The park, while being flanked on one side by water and the other by the Austin skyline. I attended that show, bought the DVD. Perfect weather, beautiful show.
