Since Bobby Keys hinted at other shows afterwards wonder if we will continue to see "take it as it comes" kinda small series of additional shows?

Like Los Angeles/Tokyo

Chicago/Toronto

Holland/Spain

etc?

Or maybe 2013 is the year they start accepting all the long rumored offers from various festivals worldwide?

Nothing is scheduled at present other than them walking up a red carpet.

Its not really a 'tour' as such!

most bands, do festivals and set up tour dates for smaller venues around those big festivals... Stones are probably exempt from needing to do this... but it is the only way mid level bands can tour, especially US bands playing Europe...

It's also a way for the Stones to get $3-5 million a gig without the pressure of having to sell $100-450 tickets for a stadium or hauling around a few hundred tons of steel and employing and transporting 200 people. Coachella, Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and a whole slew of European festivals would pony it up easy. The Wednesday in between the Coachellas they could play Mexico City or something like Radiohead did last year.

I am definitely not endorsing this idea but if I were in charge of putting together a series of dates I would seriously consider this option. Funny thing is the same kids wearing tongue shirts all over but wouldn't pay for a Stones show would love the idea of seeing them at one of these festivals.

Ticket price range for the 02 shows expected to be from £105 to £450, according to Erik_Snow. £450 was the exact figure I'd heard a while back too.

If true, whilst its still pretty horrendous, £105 for the low end prices is actually not quite as bad as I feared it would be. Of course, a lot depends on how many tickets in that range we're talking about (2,000? 12,000?) and its not clear whether there will be other prices in between that and the highest ones. I honestly cant imagine many people being sucked in to pay £450 for a ticket for a concert in the UK.

So all the UK fans can pay 155 GBP for a $250 US ticket! Its good for some people but for sure I wont be going to London this time round.

I would imagine that, as usual, US tickets will cost more than tickets for shows in Europe.

Next up:

Back to rehearsals next week and then....a warm up gig in a club in Paris - seemingly next Thursday (25th)

Note - a club (ie, a few hundred capacity). Not a theatre like the Olympia, Grand Rex etc.

Probably mostly family and friends but apparently some tickets will go on sale on the day - and should be pretty cheap as is the norm with these warm up gigs

I don't know what club the gig is scheduled to take place in - its very hush hush -but I would imagine that, as has happened in the past, they'll have a few 'alternatives' booked and then announce which venue it is the morning of the gig or the day before.

I would expect its a stripped down band as theres been no reports of the horn section or backing singers being at the rehearsals so far and, indeed, Bobby Keys is touring with his own band in the US at present.

So are the London and Newark shows going to be stripped down. Without horns or backup singers. I know Bobby said he would be there. But no Blondie?

I dont know about fully stripped down as much as that but I did hear a while back there may be some changes and that Blondie (amongst others) may not 'make the cut'. Time will tell, I suppose.

Maybe its just for these particular shows as they're likely to be quite different to regular tour shows, with special guests etc
