I'd be surprised if they do a warm up gig. Unlike Paris, they dont really need one as they should be relatively well-oiled after a couple of months of rehearsals before last year's shows and it hasnt been that long of a break.

Rehearsals started yesterday - which is quite early for a second leg of a tour (usually its just a few days in advance). No Taylor at this stage, as far as I'm aware.

I wonder too, also see that Staples Center maybe will be as No Security Tour/Superbowl show.

In the map you can see the tongue stage and they´re selling tickets behind the stage!!!

Maybe no central screen only two of the Arena.

That would be to rehearse all the suggestions from Jagger's twitter account.

Much like all the kids wearing the Misfits shirts they bought at Urban Outfitters.

They've been hired to keep Kid Rock out..............

I think I found it. Too easy.

I suggest that the location of the rehearsals shouldn't be posted on this or any board.  These fan boards are looked after by eBay hunters who swarm these type of locations to score autographs so they can sell them on eBay.  What could be a place for fans to gather will be completely taken over by these ebay leeches.  No joke.  There were almost 50 of them when we all waited for Paul McCartney outside Capitol Studios last spring.  It was NO fun.  Jack Nicholson was even worse.  So, let's not put this info out there.

Damn..it could be all over.  Paparazzi photos are already up of the site.

I meant in regards to what I wrote above.  These papparazzi are in cohoots with the ebay leeches so it's not long they'll be there as well if not they are not there already.  Sounds really weird but they really have a tight system...and it's awful here in LA.  The article says that "fans" were waiting outside the site since yesterday.  Wouldn't be surprised if it's the ebay hunters already out there.  Anyway, just a heads up that the environment might not be as fan-friendly as you'd expect.  Definitely not as chill as the reports we've heard from Toronto all those years or even Paris last year.

And that wasn't me who posted the name of the place on another board. A lot of people live by that hill!

it is obvious from the photos being released where they are. No amount of revising posts here or on other boards or anything else really matters.

They are gearing up to mark 50 years together with a North American tour and a few UK dates.
And while The Rolling Stones have a wealth of experience and live performances behind them, they still understand the importance of a bit of practice.
The legendary rockers were spotted heading into a rehearsal studio in Los Angeles on Tuesday looking as cool as ever and happy to be reunited once more.



Cig break: Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood were seen enjoying a cigarette as the group get together to rehearse in LA for upcoming tour


The gang Charlie Watts,71, Keith Richards,69, Mick Jagger,69, and Ronnie Wood ,65, all arrived in separate cars and showing he’s still got that frontman attitude Mick arrived twenty minutes after the rest of them.

As they exited their cars with blacked-out windows the Brown Sugar stars all flashed a smile for the cameras and the waiting fans.
Drummer Charlie, who looked particularly dapper in jeans and a tweed blazer with a scarf wrapped around his neck, was clearly excited about getting back behind the drums.


Here he comes! Sir Mick was seen arriving after the others and rushing into the studio


A little older: Charlie (L) and Ronnie (R) have developed smarter styles over the years but still look like cool rockers

Throughout the day Keith and Ronnie were seen popping out for cigarette breaks and took the time to greet the devotees who were hanging around hoping to catch a glimpse of their idols.
Keith looked his usual rock ‘n’ roll self wearing black jeans, a grey T-shirt and with a head scarf wrapped around his unruly locks.
Ronnie, who has embraced a more mature style in recent years, wore a casual looking turquoise shirt, tucked into a pair of jeans.



Hi there! Ronnie waves to fans who waited outside to see them while he enjoyed a cigarette
The wrinkly stars will be kicking off their North American tour, which is called 50 & Counting in May and will play in Los Angeles, Oakland, San Jose, Las Vegas, Anaheim, Toronto, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.
They have also now added Montreal on to their list of tour dates.
It’s not just America who will be treated to the rock stars, they will also play at Glastonbury festival and two dates in London’s Hyde Park.
Tickets for their Hyde Park show on July 6 sold out within just five minutes, which led them to set up another date.



Happy: Keith Richards looked like he was enjoying himself as he got together with his old bandmates

Arriving in style: The group all arrived in separate cars with blacked out windows

When they headline the Hyde Park gig in July, it will mark almost 44 years to the day they played a famous free concert in the central London park.

Their first ever concert in Hyde Park, which was on 5 July 1969, was just two days after the death of founder member Brian Jones and marked the live debut of his replacement guitarist, Mick Taylor.
Guitarist Keith Richards said he hoped there would be 'some emotion involved' in the new gig.


Cool: Keith looked as a cool as ever wearing his trademark style including a head scarf


Getting ready: The group, who are celebrating 50 years together, will play dates in America and the UK


He said: 'Not going to turn this into the funeral, but any more than that, I think it's a celebration. I think that it's a celebration for everybody really, for Brian, for everybody that was there and hopefully for loads of people that were not there the first time round.
'I'm really looking forward to it, it's an exciting piece of news when I got the news that we were going to play the park again.'
Jagger – now Sir Mick – who turns 70 three weeks after this year’s concert, said: ‘Hyde Park holds such great memories for us and we can’t think of anywhere better to perform to our UK fans this summer.’
