Tour announcement seems imminent.
Rumors of FedEx but no date attached.
Anyone have some intell?
And... no need to use this thread for snarky or humorous or humorless comments about the band's or its members' ages or need for a tour, etc. In fact, no need for that on any thread since it'd all be retread.

Hey Seth, special secret free club show for forum members only?

Now that would be nutty!

Retread is a perfect name for a 2019 Rolling Stones tour.

Mick Jagger became a father again at 72. Named Keith Richards child's godfather to ensure the child is brought up right long after Mick's gone.
What's the difference between a Scotsman and a Rolling Stone?
A Rolling Stone says 'Hey you, get off of my cloud!'
while a Scotsman says 'Hey McLeod, get off of my ewe!'
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
'Miss Whack, I'd like to get a £30,000 loan to take a holiday.'
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, 'Sure. I have this' and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says 'There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow £30,000 and he wants to use this as collateral.'
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. 'I mean, what in the world is this?'
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
(wait for it.........)
.....'It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone.'

I have never seen the rolling stones perform in concert.
If this tour comes to DC area, I might finally go.
-
I know you said not to mention their ages, but these guys must be well into their 50s by this point, and take it from me once you hit 50 you start slowing down. I don't care how healthy these guys have lived their lives, tHis tour is probably not going to end well.
-
❤️ has always happened when you guys had to leave a party 🎈 this was not happening at night so you can go back home 🏡 night I gotta is that a perfect 👌 way is this game that I would expect it for sure but it was all about a great 👍 is that I think 🤔 has a few kinks but this app seems very nice

Neither have I. But my motto is to catch them before they've peaked....or don't bother.
-
I have it on good authority to see the Stones indoors vs. A stadium where Mick gets winded from running the length of a football field multiple times throughout the night.
-
Steel Wheels came out in 1989, when Mick was 46. The tour was dubbed by some as "Steel Wheelchairs", mostly by people who now wish they were 46 again.

I understand; I am gonna see Van Morrison way past peak, and if the Stones come closeby, them too...not sure who else is in the never seen category that I feel i would need to see...maybe Neil Young
-
I got to see them for free on the 40 Licks tour. I had a fantastic time and it was a great show. But I think I'm good with having seen them the one time.
-
I defintely get seeing acts you love before it's too late. I sort of regret not seeing McCartney but at this point, forget it.

I've been trying to do a bucket list show per year if possible. I wouldn't bail on McCartney, yet... The tour he did in 2016 was awesome and unless he's recently been diagnosed with some sort of disease, I can't imagine 74 vs. sometime in the next year would make more of a difference.
challenged, why didn't you catch the local Van show? Heading to Vegas I can't imagine will be a thrifty affair and there is a risk for a crap show.
-
Neil Young is the bucket list for me
If you are a fan of the Stones or Macca you will love their show assuming you are mature enough to realize musicians age...
My recommendation on the Stones though is get a seat close up or forget it
I saw Pinetop Perkins when he was closing in on 100 and I enjoyed it
-
McCartney is ancient and is a total cheeseball. But he surrounds himself with a solid band and he's a great showman.
-
Tom Waits would be cool too....
Listening to Nighthawks at the Diner....man what an album
-
Mind you I have seen Waits but seems like a former life
-

The weird thing about NATD is realizing that Waits was 25 years old.
-
Yeah I was marveling at the same thing....
I guess at some point Waits made a ton of money because he really semi retired early
-
To answer question rumour is Fedex Field in May...
I doubt Stones will do indoor shows in US again so don’t hold out for that
-
Wow, I've seen Neil Young at least three times. I can't believe there's someone I've seen that some of y'all haven't/
-
Considering making the drive to Philly for Elton. Worried i'll regret it if I don't.

we're still questioning the fact that you may actually BE Neil young
do you have a photo of the both of you?
Otherwise I'm not convinced

See, I would've went with a classic and asked him how many times he's seen Broken Social Scene but I respect you wanting to keep things fresh.

Were these shows in the 70s?
I have a hard time believing Neil's ticket prices fall into the $pace friendly category.

I think I won free tickets on my college radio station in 1991 for the Neil Young & Crazy Horse /Sonic Youth/Social Distortion Ragged Glory tour, in upstate New York.
Another time was acoustic with Exene Cervenka opening (1995) in upstate NY. Not sure I how I got in to that one as I didn't have a job.
The third time was with Crazy Horse (Lucinda Williams opening) in 2003, using DC wages to pay for upstate New York tickets. The summer of our wedding, sweet times.
I think that's it...
-
Wow nicely done

I saw the Steel Wheels tour at RFK when I was in 6th grade with my dad. Was a bit too young to really appreciate it. What do we think ticket prices will be like for this?
-
$75 - $10,000
-
Just north of outrageous.
-
$75 - $10,000
for $10k...you get a bump of keff's dad too
-
$75 - $10,000
I'm guessing starting prices are north of $75.
-
There look to be pit tickets for this tour
Nice of Ticketmaster not to tell you prices ahead of time

i wanna go; bit I think that the plan will have to be to buy the cheapest ticket on stubhub on or around the day of the show.
-
My handyman is also having a presale tomorrow

Amazing how much tickets cost! I think the cheapest is $99....anything decent is like $375 and up
I read the service fees on a $500 are $100!

these fuckers must be making a KILLING on this tour

I guess this will give the beneficiaries of the Trump tax cut something to spend it on.
-
these fuckers must be making a KILLING on this tour
Sure, but Mick's got like 12 children by 15 different mothers. That's a lot of support to pay.

What was the consensus on seeing the Stones in 2019?
Definitely last tour, right?
As a 30-something, if you've never seen them, is it worth it or best to imagine them from another time, still grasped to a thread of something resembling coolness? Growing up, I was a kid out of time, everyone else into the tail end of grunge and into pop-punk while I was definitely a Beatles, Stones, Clash and discount Blues CDs from Ross person.

It is worth it if you can get a good ticket up close.....otherwise I don’t think so....I saw them in 1997 from nosebleeds at FedEx and it turned me off them live until I chanced it in 2006 Balt from much better seats...night and day difference

It's an impressive performance for a bunch of 70-year olds.

their last good show was at altamont in 1969

was that considered a good show? other than the hells angles beating a crowd member to death I don't know if that was considered the zenith of their live shows
but I'm no stones scholar

. . . So somehow my wife, who is staunchly a Mick Jagger is a terrible singer and the Stones are meh, "twisted my arm" and we bought stupidly overpriced tickets while high on fast food and budget youtube documentaries about the band...
I'm not sure how I feel. I'm still torn by the feeling that at that echelon of performance opulence bands kind of blur and it becomes more about the concept of a band rather than an actual performance, but maybe my
To note, I haven't been to an arena/stadium show since I fell asleep halfway through an MC Hammer concert which was an 8th birthday gift.

I am excited to see them for the first/final time tonight! Sprung for a cheap-ass standing room ticket.

There's nothing wrong with a Rolling Stones show. Except for the fact that this one is where it is.
(sidenote: I'd love to split parking fee and I'll even drive if logistics can work. PM if interested)
Whether expensive ticket for a bucket-list concept or a cheap ticket just to get in -- enjoy the spectacle and hear 20 pretty decent songs.
-
ya'all enjoy a football field concert
-
It was a good show. Energy level rose and fell on whether Jagger was on stage on not. Keith now has brown hair again and was fairly sloppy throughout, barely playing intelligible leads on 'Sympathy' but redeeming himself on a scorching 'Midnight Rambler'. Ronnie provided the show-saving guitar flash and Charlie is the still the classiest drummer in rock. Plus they played 'Rocks Off' and 'Let it Bleed.' If this was the last time, then they went out good.
-

Glad to hear the show was saved.
-
Ronnie has been saving shows since Coconutgate.... In 2006...at least..
I was kind of sorry to miss it... the setlist was made for me (Let it bleed)..I had a friend really doing the full court press on me to go
The treat was Mercy which they hadn’t played in 50 years...since right around when Brian Jones died or had his body discovered 50 years to this DC show...how morbid
But I cannot stand stadium shows and occasionally I have to do something for my kids like take them to Aquarium
I also think I could never get close to my experience at Baltimore 2006 pre coconutgate
Last time I saw them in philly 2013 I was a bit underwhelmed maybe it was the shitty seats...there is little point to seeing them in my view unless you can get reasonably close..seeing them at jack Kent Cooke in 1997 turned me off to seeing them again til the awesome Baltimore show
-
But that’s not to take anything away from the Stones...happy for those that saw it and had a good time...I would have had a good time too
Like I said it definitely felt like something was tugging at my heartstrings trying to get me to head towards Fed Ex as I drove back to DC around 6 after dropping $140 at the aquarium with my kids in the back complaining about traffic...fuckers..the Stones are part of the Rosetta Stone for the rock and roll I like...
I predict they will go on and on and on....and on

Not that I recall; please do. Longform narrative only, please.

It was my first RS show.
The way I see it is that Mick still has "it" both singing, dancing, and harmonica-ing, and the others do not as much have "it" but they are alive and are iconic so they have to play.
So it is not an amazing show "musically."
If Mick, like Paul McCartney, just toured and played RS songs with a killer band, it would be an amazing show musically. As it is, the guitars and drumming sloppy-ish but endearing, and such. I am so glad that I went, and checked this off of the list.
The setlist for me was great. Rocks Off was the fan facebook voted song that I voted for. I am not sure what it is about, I guess stones, rocks, its a whole geology thing, right?
ALSO, and this is most important: word to the wise - keep in touch with your college friends who stay in the concert business and also marry into the family of prominent team-tongue production staff. You may end up with 3rd row tickets and pit-passes to such shows.
Finally, sorry Joe.

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you play it
Damn well done Challenged

It sucks when you go to a family party and find out your aunt had 700 tickets she wasn't going to use, and would have given them to you for free.
