I'm already starting to imagine the clusterfuck that will be the mad scramble for what few tickets get allocated to those of us who arent a) family, b) employees, c) hangers on, d) celebrities, e) journalists f) ticket brokers or g) people who spend enough money on fan packages to feed an African village for the next decade.

dont think they have a prayer of 'winning gross' if theyre just doing a run of theatre dates. Especially in a country where 'everyone hates them'. Smiley

wWe better wait until we see ticket prices before we rule out gross?...lmao

Royal Albert Hall I'd say is unlikely going by the band's past history there.

Yeah, but how long has it been since they've played there ?

Doesn't time heal all wounds ? Nanker

What is the past history with RAH? Don't think I've heard that story.

The Dylan one was actually recorded at Manchester's Free Trade Hall (17th May '66)...the two RAH shows which ended the tour took place on 26th and 27th. For several years the bootleg was believed to be from the RAH, but it wasn't. The RAH shows are available as boots in great quality though.

Good idea. I'll also hold back on denying the mass hatred until I a) get a shot at tickets and b) find that I wont have to sell a kidney to afford them.

I guess so. All indications point towards a compilation. But maybe Mick and Keith will shut me up with a new album.

Well, forty-six years later with Mick being the Pillar of Society & all, I think that grants them a pass to trash the place one more time. That was clever

Ok,thanks Edith. Obviously I've heard of the Royal Albert Hall...........The Annual dust up at the Royal Albert Hall as Clapton called it on 24 nights. But didn't know the Stones history with the place. Not that the site is all that important. Wherever they play instantly becomes historic.

Royal Albert Hall ?

Saw Eric there about 20 years ago - great acoustics ! I just think it would be considered too big for a "small" show. The O2 Indigo would work, especially if they rounded off a tour by playing the O2 arena next year.

I went through this venue thing before travelling to London on 12th July Embarrassed

. I hope these rumours comes to something Ouch!

Meggy and I were having a lunchtime 'aperitif' in the Hawley Arms just down the street (Amy's local, which I mentioned earlier) when we got your text that you'd arrived in London to join us for the final Bigger Bang show.

And as I type this its just dawned on me that that text was five years ago almost to the minute. Friday 24th August. The day we went to the two Prince shows in one evening. The Stones final gig was Sunday the 26th.

Brixton Academy and Hammersmith Apollo are much the same size as the RAH, though.

We should all maybe take this with a pinch of salt, though, as it may be a load of bollocks. Imagining it is fun, though. The Roundhouse has become a pretty popular venue again since it reopened - I'm surprised its free for so many weeks later in the year.

The Indigo2 is a terrific venue. Thats where we saw Prince, and the bar service is very fast!

I personally think that if the Stones tour next year it wont be a long one, and so it'd generally be stadiums. Cant imagine them passing up the opportunity of playing the new Wembley Stadium, although strangely enough the new Olympic Stadium has become just as iconic as a building in it's own right in a short space of time.
