Here's a link to septa.org. I entered Essington to the stadium, 6 pm arrival. You can use it to go from anywhere in Philly to anywhere else in the area and neigboring towns including Essington. There is no residential area around where the hotels are, so I don't think crime is a big worry.

QuoteAquamarine I was just watching Stones in the Park last night and reading my diary entry for the day, and remembering how Mick introduced Sympathy by saying we wouldn't know it because it was off their new album which wasn't out yet, and then they played it and the audience was going nuts banging cans and boxes (and some people had even brought tambourines, it being 1969) and it was amazing.

My folks still live there and the spare bedroom is already booked. I assum

I'm quite impressed here actually. Nice to wake up to this. Not perfect, but absolutely within my tolerances and I know its an overused thing, but good sound would help. One thing that I like is that the guitars keep going throughout; no laying out while I pose or mess with my cigarette. All in all, I'm glad they gave it a shot and they should keep working on this and No Expectations, IMO.

Forum: Tell Me

Quotestonesrule Hanns, truly terrifies me to think what may lurk in your record collection. Putting Waits in the same category as Bo Diddley and Solomon Burke is sacrilege. Stones would be better off with no more extraneous guest stars...just my opinion. I think you're probably of a different mindset to me, but I do agree that to mention Solomon Burke and Bo Diddley in the same category

Quoteoldkr when has everything about opening night not sucked? OLDKRI've seen two openers (RFK 1994 and Oakland 1999) and both were absolutely fantastic. You're always posting some miserable old lady nonsense. If the Stones and the Stones experience are such a drag for you, why don't you go back to the nursing home and leave it alone.

RE:Any of you who are having no luck. I got $85's to both nights with my cousin helping out from Sacramento. I'm still in queue myself, but he had no problems getting through using my info, so if you've got any family or friends far away from Philly, maybe reaching out to them might get it done for you.

I'm in for both shows @ $85, but only because my cousin hooked me up from his computer in California. I live 15 miles from the Wells Fargo and am STILL in queue! WTH?! Hoping for 2 more to the 23rd.

QuoteThey talk Steelers in Philly? Damn they must truly hate Vick. That garbage is like talking Niners in Oakland... You guys are screwy out there... Not realy a similar situation. As a long time Northern California resident, I can tell you the Steelers- Eagles dynamic bears no relation to Niners-Raiders crazieness. That would be more Giants-Eagles. The Giants are 90 minutes away; the Steel

Get stuffed AB. Philly is THE best Stones city in the US, with a long history of memorable shows (not all great, but memorable for sure). GREAT PEOPLE, fantastic food and a bar in center city deadicated to Steelers games and fans every gameday.

How about various solo offerings? A few by the Barbarians line up, a few with the Winos, acouple of MTaylor tunes? This would also be a much better spot for any guests they might want to work with.

Belated best wishes Chris. We have a bit of history actually. I voted for your daughter (?) in a contest for Quest Adventures (could be off by a detail as it was a minute ago) and then got into the debate on Facebook about the McDonald's mural getting covered over. Loved your books (Spyder Lockhart was great as well as the Ronnie Wood in the closet with Rod story). Keep up the great work!

At the Capitol Theatre they have nothing between 11/28 with the Moody Blues and 12/07 with Toots and the Matals for Toot's 70th. They just did $2 million renovation of lights and sound according to the web site, so to me, it seems like a real possibility everything considered. Then, there is also the Toots/Keith connection, so who knows.
