It should start soon!
Let's use this thread to for any info on rehearsals such as what songs they are playing, who shows up etc.

Click bait thread title bro.

They should start soon. Tour starts in less than 2 weeks.

If I recall, last time they spent a week & a half in Burbank, then a few days at Sony.

Maybe a hanger at LAX or SAN...

Burbank!  I have been to Burbank!

I say we all call in sick and hang out by the studio!  Maybe, we'll get an autograph or a guitar pic!  Yay!

I would lose my mind.
I would lose my job.

I would stand outside and pace.
Up the street.
Down the street.
Pace Pace Pace

Then when I heard it, I would plot.
Plot, plot, plot
Howe do I get inside - and more importantly, howe do I not get "discovered"

Can I hide behind an amp, and listen without giggling.

I don't think so.
I'd get busted nearly immediately.
I would apologize and promise to behave, but if I were the band, I'd throw my ass out.

Goddam it....

Sounds like they are locked in a Sound Stage on one of the Movie Studio lots and there are TONS of them in Hollywood/LA.

I'm just happy to know they are all there and rehearsing.
I really don't need to hear about "gems" that have been rehearsed only to be disappointed at the show.

Hopefully they rehearse Satisfaction. And heck, while they're at it, bring back Blondie Chaplin since it's a tour promoting the the reissue of Sticky Fingers. Mick Taylor? Who is that?

Liza Minnelli hangs with The Rolling Stones.


Don’t be surprised if Liza Minnelli pops up with a VIP badge at a Rolling Stones gig this summer.

The “Cabaret” Oscar winner was seen bonding with the band’s Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood at Catalina Jazz Club in LA on Sunday night.

The trio of legends were there to see Lisa Fischer, a singer who’s toured with the Stones as well as Sting and Nine Inch Nails.

“After the show, Watts, Wood and Minnelli were comparing notes on rehearsing,” said a music spy.

The Stones are gearing up to go on a North American summer tour, and Minnelli’s prepping a fall concert called “Great Day.”

Minnelli is doing well after her most recent round in rehab — where Wood has reportedly been eight times.

Someone buy Liza a fucking drink and get her to tell us where the rehearsals are.

Christ, we're missing it….

From IORR:


"They've selected a rehearsal location that allows them to avoid any and all uninvited/non-curated elements. To be totally straight-up about what's up.

According to reports from people who've been at the site--inside and out--it is impossible to hear sound emanating from the facility, in part because the Rolling Stones are located at the back of the building, where they neither can be seen coming or going NOR can be overheard, and partly because they are located by a busy airport, so it's hard to hear anything if you are outside the sanctum sanctorum."

DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

partly because they are located by a busy airport

Okay, that should narrow it down.
Seems to me that we are all smart enough and there is enough information on the inter webs that we should be able to figure this out.

Airports in the LA area?

LAX
Burbank???
Orange county
Long Beach
Ontario?

Which have large studios nearby?

Burbank?

What about Twitter and Facebook.
What about their entourage?
Where are they staying?

Entourage's Twitter accounts have been silent.

Sally Wood is the only one tweeting.

Other clues, Encyclopedia Jones, on Friday they had food from IN N OUT Burger.

"We're all being so healthy in LA today ~ niiiiiiiiiice"

Another clue from Sally:

"So we went here, but I can't tell you about it because it's magic @MagicCastle"

Some are speculating she is referring to this place:

And finally this photo taken from a German paper dated today.
Apparently, all it says is Keith Richards on his Hotel Balcony in Los Angeles.

Rumor has it that the "club gig" will be at the Fonda Theater on Hollywood Blvd on May 20th.

Fonda is the rumor because the act that was scheduled to play there moved to a different (larger) venue.

They are not near an airport, the closest hint I heard is that someone went on a lunch run at in-n-out burger on Sunset.

They are using the cone of silence.

Is there a policy on this board not to reveal the rehearsal location? I won't do it on the "competing" board because I respect their policy.

Hint, it's not in "South" Hollywood after all.

Hopefully they won't feel obliged, unless inclined, to be overly Sticky-centric at any possible show at the Hanoi Jane Theatre.

A sprightly medley of Brown Horses, Sister Knocking, Morphine Mile, Can't You Hear Me Sugar? and You Gotta Bitch might suffice, before cracking on with Beef Curtains (BoB) and anything at all.

I had a feeling you had a feeling BD!

Good work not violating the policy.

We don't need to know where it is, just whether any intel can be gleaned.

If not, if truly secluded, then we need to get the NSA involved or something.

A Woodroffe spotlight aimed specifically at each of their trousers could be rather groovy.

No. People have posted details of rehearsal sessions on numerous tours down the years on this board. No reason to be secretive about it now, all of a sudden.

Its in Burbank, is it not?

It is Burbank.

A visit to rehearsals by Chuck D.

Motherfuckers looking good! Chuck D is from public enemy right?

he sure is.

No, it is NOT Burbank!

The place backs up to Burbank Airport property, but it's Not Burbank!!!!

Someone needs a geography lesson (lol)

The place is in North Hollywood!!!!

I see Letterman retires on Wednesday, and his final musical guest still hasnt been announced - Eddie Vedder is playing on Monday and Bob Dylan on Tuesday.

I know its in New York and the Stones are in Hollywood, but it is doable for them and there have been rumours for several weeks about a TV appearance or two to promote this tour and SF reissue

Does anyone think this might be a possibility? The Stones have never played on Letterman's show and I remember being told years ago by someone who was a mutual friend of them both that there's a bit of long term 'needle' between Dave and Keith over a personal issue, so I suppose its a long shot - but the fact that theyre in the US and on the verge of a tour would make it a nice bit of self promotion.

Personally, I think Letterman's final musical guest will be Springsteen (he was the surprise closing act in 1993 when Dave did his final show with NBC).

Jeez, Bluzdude if it's so important to you that we get the location correct, why don't you tell us exactly where it is.

Seeing that the Stones don't travel a few miles to each other's gigs sometimes, I seriously doubt any one of them will be tossed to fly to New York, especially as no one blows a marketing opportunity better than the modern day Rolling Stones.

You should post the location. It is beyond laughable that they don't allow the location to be posted on the Rockman forum. Sucking up is never a good look.

" EXCLUSIVE By DONNA BALANCIA — The Rolling Stones will play the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood on Wednesday, May 20th as a warm-up date to their Zip Code Tour, CaliforniaRocker.com has learned.

The Rolling Stones are preparing for their Zip Code Tour that kicks off at San Diego’s Petco Park May 24, and hits 15 U.S. cities.

According to a source close to The Rolling Stones, the band will do a prep show prior to hitting the road.

“The Fonda Theatre is a smaller, intimate venue and it’s the perfect place for the band and crew to take a dry-run,” said the source.

On Monday, the band will host a Twitter session, taking answers from the fans via the social media platform. There is expected to be a special announcement

Why is this Chuck D guy there anyway?....lets hope no Rap guests this tour FFS. Plus Mick brandishing his Miss You guitar is an ominous sign. Tensions flaring among long time posters as we are on edge as the excitement builds.

Trousers Fall Dow'?
Sticky Fingerprint File?

Mick played guitar on Factory Girl at their opening night in LA back in 2013. Before the song started, I was convinced that they were going to play Moonlight Mile... after all, they rehearsed MM a lot in Burbank that year. Alas...

Moonlight Mile comes to mine, considering we're apparently getting all these 'Sticky Fingers' songs. 

Have faith.

('Doom and Gloom' is a bloody good song. If they drop that, we're down to a show were the only song with a decent shot of being played which was written in the last two-thirds of their career as being 'You Got Me Bastarding Rocking' )

my source has revealed that SMU has been rehearsed.

A very under played, obscure track. .. .. ..


*In all seriousness I did actually happen to see The Rolling Stones in concert once and they did NOT play Satisfaction. This isn't a play on words ... it isn't a riddle. It is what it is. I actually saw them play a full concert and they did not include Satisfaction that evening.

Anyone wanna guess which tour or show?

They rarely played it in '78, but did at the show I saw.

They only did it as an encore in '72 (and didn't always do an encore).

Didn't play it the first time I saw them in Buffalo 1981.

Other songs Mick plays guitar on live:

When the Whip Comes Down, Miss You - '78

Sad sad sad - '90

Sister Morphine ' 97/'98

Don't Stop - '02

if they play Moonlight Mile and do it justice,  I will be impressed.

Waiting on a Friend   -- Saint Louis 1997

Jagger on Don't Stop on Licks tour was first time I'd seen someone air guitar with a guitar on their personage.  It was effective, though.  Everything Jagger does works.  He's the best.

They did it on the No Security tour and thought they played it well.

Can you say piss break. :pukey

Mick has played guitar every tour since 1975.  That year he played a strat on "Fingerprint File" and (I think) "Heartbreaker". I recall thinking he looked stupid with a guitar. As opposed to Keith, who looked like he was born with a telecaster strapped on.

In '78 he played on quite a few of the new (SG) songs.  Has played guitar on "Miss You" ever since, whether we like it or not.

In '81 he played an acoustic Ovation on "Let It Bleed" and an SG on the Some Girls songs.  (hey, is that what SG stands for?)

in '89 he played one of those awful off-brand things (I'm a vintage guitar snob)  they were playing that tour on "Sad Sad Sad" and maybe a few other SW songs.

Besides playing on Miss You every show, he's played on some cool stuff too...Sister Morphine and Moonlight Mile come to mind.

in 2005 he played slide (backed by Woody) on "Back Of My Hand".

Well then let's be OPTIMISTIC and hope in that Rehearsal pic, he's playing Sister Morphine or Moonlight Mile.

I have a feeling MM is going to be the Sticky Fingers non warhorse featured song this time around.

'81/82 - from memory, he would have played guitar on When The Whip Comes Down, Just My Imagination, Miss You. Acoustic on Waiting on a Friend, Let It Bleed.

Think he played on a few more in '78.

They didnt play it all on the No Security US Tour - they omitted 'Miss You' every night too.

And despite charging the most obscene ticket prices ever seen in the history of rock music to that point (a record theyve since topped several times over) people didnt walk out in disgust and still came back next tour in their millions.

'Miss You' was rarely played on the Licks tour either.

'Satisfaction' was barely played ten times in the decade before 1981.

Proof that the notion that they 'have' to play certain songs is utter bollocks.

I've my doubts, to be honest.  It went down like a bit of a lead balloon in '99 and they never REALLY pulled it off despite their best efforts. And both the Stones and their audience are a lot more conservative in their approach to what they're willing to try since then. 

Of course, they COULD have pulled it off had they brought along the guy who played on the original and who in fact more or less wrote most of the song despite not being credited for it, but that's another matter. 

'I Got The Blues' on a regular basis would be nice (I was in Hartford in '99 the night they finally dusted that one off) but again, things have changed since then - for some reason, Mick doesnt like to sing more than one ballad per show, and its usually a slot where they change things up a bit.

I guess a duet of Sister Morphine with Marianne Faithful is doubtful??

God, yeah.

I remember being in London for the three Voodoo Lounge Shows at Wembley Stadium in 1995. The Stones played on the Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday - three nights off, and Marianne was playing somewhere like the Astoria or Shepherds Bush Empire on the Thursday.

You'd have thought it a cert that one of them might have joined her for a song? Didnt happen. I'm not sure if it ever has. And she's never appeared on a stage with them either.

The one thing I hate about this Sticky Fingers tour is the chances of hearing Wild Horses are pretty good. I've seen Wild Horses several times now and could do without it.

Gazza. You are correct in that I was speaking of seeing them  on No Security in Pittsburgh (speaking of which... grab a plane... would love to see and meet up with you and other Rocks Off folks there in Pitt. this tour ha) and that they didn't play satisfaction in that show.

To support your arguement ... I said to my friend after the No Security show .. "Hey no 'Satisfaction'". His response ...."It wasn't <needed>"
