Title: Rehearsals started!
Post by Bitch on Aug 21^st, 2017 at 9:16pm

According to Bernard's Instagram account, the rehearsals are on!

With only 19 days until the tour opener it doesn't give them much time to get ready, but they know these songs by heart at this point. I think they are in London.

Thanks for the info!

They play about 18-20 songs a night, two nights a week, the setlist formula has been set in stone for about 15 years, they will barely play 30 songs over the whole tour and about 14-15 songs will probably get played every night.

I'm surprised they actually feel the need to rehearse so early, to be honest. I hope its a sign that they'll try a few more rarely played songs, but I'll be amazed if they do.

If theyre in London, its a bit disappointing that they chose to skip the UK on this tour (no one seriously buys the 'lack of available venues' fake news - it was clearly for tax reasons. The Stones organisation have had 'alternative facts' down to a fine art before Kelly Ann Conway was even out of diapers) yet theyve no qualms about rehearsing there for two weeks.

Let's be totally ridiculous then....maybe they are going to lay down some new tracks as part of this unnecessary practicing.

rehearsals are phoned in at this point too, no?
but maybe there'll be a surprise single or two dropped. I like a new tune or two....

Yeah...well maybe they will pull out one or 2 new ones...remember they finally did ER in 2014...brought back OOC...and lets not forget the short lived D&G and the other one...I know Keith would never permit GGAG to make it in the setlist though 75% of the band was on the single...but in the end...one can only hope (for a few new songs)...and please...no more tributes

One can only hope they are using the time wisely...maybe to discuss how to sub out Miss You, YGMR and SMU as well as wasted stage time with covers/tributes out of the setlist ( which they have managed to do recently)

Miss You stays. It's the big single off of their biggest selling album. There's no way they will leave it off the set list.

Hopefully not!
To me it's always been the worst part of any concert I attended over decades.
When it starts I always leave for a drink.
I don't have to hurry 'cause, as you know, that awful song lasts more than a few minutes.

About 10 fans got let in to the rehearsal space in London on Friday (the final day of rehearsals) to hear the band play Jumpin' Jack Flash and Gimme Shelter.

Nice one.

Struts are a great band...saw them last year or so in a small club here in N Cackalacky...The Cats Cradle...they have opened for the Stones before...

Title: Re: Rehearsals started!
Post by Bitch on Sep 6^th, 2017 at 9:19pm

Not many Stones fans are into the opening act. Its just a delay for the main event. Obviously the openers are not needed to sell tickets since the announcement of the opening acts was after the tickets went on sale. :o
