Allegedly LA area.

I didn't venture out today but might go give it another shot on Monday.

Was just musing about how personally I'd think it would be pretty fucking amazing if they opened with Angry followed by Whole Wide World...probably won't happen, but we'll see...

Well and there also is the cost-of-licing crisis, I have read from many people that they can only afford one show this tour, some even said they just can't afford it at all which is sad...being a fan for 40+ years or so and then not being able to get tickets cause the ticketing market is entirely insane...

But it's good to know that the prices are starting to drop now for some shows, I hope the others are soon following suit, Pit for the 2 NJ shows are still at over 1k, that's total rip-off for normal Pit when SMU package is about 880 (with fees, which obviously also is a lot but i/'s at least the original price and no re-sale extorsion)  ...dunno how realistic it is to eventually get normal pit for 750 tops (with fees) but we're hoping and waiting...

I went to 2013 location again. Heard some distant drums and also further off a droning / fire alarm type sound - this is more of a commercial industrial airport near an airport. I walked around the neighborhood a bit, 2 other rehearsal studios on that same street but the smaller 24 hour lockout local bands use and share. Walked by again and heard nothing but there is definitely activity there and they have around 14 studios of varying sizes onsite.

Then I went to the 2015 location. The problem is it's a very deep complex on a major street. It goes back at least 2 football fields from the main gate. Can't hear anything. I suspect this may be the one but just not much I can do. Spent like 5 minutes in the vicinity and went home. Not a very comfortable spot to just hang out. I only care if I can hear. Celebrity sightings are a daily occurrence here and not very interesting on their own.

No autograph seekers at either location.

There are dozens if not hundreds of rehearsal studios in LA even if not all can accommodate that setup. It's difficult to stake them out all out and the signs might not be obvious from the street if I am not hearing Rolling Stones music. Might check out the 2013 location again but pretty sure that's not it.

25 days, we can basically start a countdown!

I really hope they're gonna play WWW but think we can hope so...guess it's asked too much tho to expect Depending on You, or god forbid, Driving Me Too Hard...sadly don't think they'll play any other songs than at the Racket show but if they played those, plus Keith Tell Me Straight, would be very amazing!

I still have a spare Houston and maybe Glendale AZ for anyone who can provide logistical assistance

That makes sense. It would be really odd to have him appear at that New York gig, and then completely out for the tour. Palladino also lives in LA so if they are in LA, it would make sense that he's there.

Ride, couch, ride from airport etc. I actually just booked a flight from San Diego to Houston to Burbank, still don't have a room, gonna decide between AirBnB and hotel in the next day or so. But Houston is just so massive with the airport and stadium at opposite ends.

Glendale as of now if I don't find anyone driving from LA might do the midnight Flixbus or take a flight and a city bus goes right from PHX airport area to stadium.

No one I know seems to care in the least and seems like more than a few fans hit the brick wall between last tour and now.


edited to add: EVen if no one comes through I will still have the ticket. LD's.
