Well at least I got to see the last real Rolling Stones concert in Miami, but if this tour goes on as scheduled I'm going to as many shows as possible. If the tour still happens it will probably be the last of the stadium tours. They will have to scale it down after this and change it up but I do hope they keep going.

If Charlie explicitly requested that they tour, that may weigh on their minds as they won't want to ignore that and look like they are ignoring that request both for themselves as well as his family and other loved ones. Not as clear cut as I even thought initially.

I doubt he explicitly requested it, that's just how it's being sold to us.

they NEED to do the US tour as pulling the plug will be a financial disaster.

If they change the "format" completely and turn it into a full tribute, I'd be ok with it.

But if the keep touring as the stones it will be BS.

Everybody is raving about how he was essential to their sound, so HOW can we accept a show without him...

My 2 cents, don't spend it all at once.

Trivial ??

Do you not mean perhaps "essential"...or better yet, "integral" ??

Unless I am completely missing something,
No one "raves" about something "trivial", unless they won a game of Trivial Pursuit .

Don't totally disagree. I'm not going because I don't want to see them without him, and it will just make me feel guilty if I do. However, we don't know what the conversations between them were. Also, my guess is that there are provisions in their contracts that the death of a member voids the contract. I just don't think it's as clear cut as people think, and there is a difference between saying "Charlie would have wanted it" and him explicitly asking them to do the tour. He seemed to be the most thoughtful member of the band, and it wouldn't surprise me if he said something like that rather than something they are trying to sell.

Good point Bitch, this is the tour needing more rehearsals than any other, they don't have Charlie, the engine moving the stones since 1963

Their insurance basically deems Charlie and Ronnie as replacable. In other words, if Mick or Keith are dead or incapacitated, it pays out on the cancellation of a tour.

It was already confirmed that Charlie would miss the tour due to ill-health so regarding the insurance his subsequent death doesn't really change anything, sadly.

I would expect some sort of COVID policy to be announced SOON (by now, actually).
Foo Fighters, Dead + Co...others, I imagine, all require proof of vax or neg rapid test within 72 hrs, masking requirements, etc, blah blah blah...

I hope they make it easy for neurotics, like myself, to go and not have a panic attack of some sorts...taking my vaxxed 16 year old Glimmer Twins...they dont enjoy seeing their old man freak out like that...

They would have been 14 at the time of the original dates...the same age I was when I saw my first Stones show in 78...full circle...with a slight bulge now.

Anyone else going to Charlotte?

This I would enjoy:

To each his/her/their own, and I don't mean this to judge or knock anyone else because we all have different experiences and motivation, but as far as a live act goes, I have no interest in seeing them any more. People say: Brian died and Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor and you didn't stop. Well different situations.

Brian Jones died before I was born. Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor chose to leave, and the band still had years and years in front of them in both cases.

If they want to call themselves something else and want to play, still tough, but I would probably go. It's just no longer the Rolling Stones without Charlie Watts. Yes, I understand their contractual commitments and all that, and I have mentioned before that it's not an easy decision for them, but that's it for me if they call themselves the Stones. For those that do go, all power to you and I genuinely hope you love it and they celebrate Charlie in the way that we know they will.

At first I thought how bizarrely optimistic to add a second show...but I looked at the first show and it appears to be nearly sold out.

I looked at other shows (ex/ CLT) and there are about 700+ seats avail on the floor alone (no GA/Pit numbers available)...some entire sections nearly empty...other sections all over the stadium as well...

Lucky Dip holders will fair well I think...

I just heard a radio spot for this tour...I have not heard a tour commercial like this in YEARS/DECADES... This was on The Howard Stern Show...caught me pleasantly surprised. Reminded me of the good old pre-internet days...

Remember the mail-in ticket lottery for the Tattoo You tour for the NY/NJ shows?!? That was Rock-n-Roll frenzy like no other...I ended up "winning" with one NJ and one MSG show.

Was NY/NJ the only market where they did that???

I dont know but I guess its possible as those were arena shows so the demand for the 60,000-odd tickets in that area (2 at MSG and 3 at Meadowlands) would have been through the roof.

I remember Jonathan King doing a news report for the BBC at the time from New York and saying that something like 2 million people had tried to get tickets for the two New York shows.

I could do without FtS, personally...never a fan of the piece.
As far as the other new songs...give me Plundered My Soul over them any day. Anyway, this isnt the setlist thread...I mean one of the setlist threads...++ Kiss my undercover ass

++

I could also hope to see LT&A...Slave...Tops, WAY...not sure how Jaggers falsetto is these days and you know he wont settle for anything less than 9/10.

As we are approaching the 10 day count down very soon...I checked on seats for Charlotte (I have LDs x2) ... there's HUNDREDS of seat on the field and first level...I did that hover over the section thing on TM...the place is showing nearly 25K available seats...They will prolly never play the Carolinas again Cheesy

I wonder if he'll be bold enough to dig up "Worried About You." I hope Keith revives "T&A," one of his best songs and it always rocks.
