It IS a shame but honestly, it's not something we can do anything about. It's like trying to resolve a long-standing family feud.....we have this in our own families! I think that they're as friendly as they're going to get...let it go!

That's the point, MUNICH! The Stones do not taste ( or play) like CRAP! Good post, Stonesdan. I confess to making a few comments myself about ticket pricing, which I believe is a valid complaint but as for how the Stones actually sound, I think it's a major miracle that they can pull it off as well as they do.

Yikes, you guys are rough, and not accurate. There are only a few songs, like HTW where Chuck is way up in the mix/ or featured. I hardly notice him! Keyboards louder than the guitars?? What are you all listening to? If it were NOT for Chuck, there would be NO gems, no new songs introduced into the set list. I think people complain just for the HELL of it. Cheer up, Chuck and the Stones will so

If I got a pit ticket, I'd trade it! I have no desire to stand for the entire time, get wet with idiots' beer, get pushed and shoved...been there, done that, it sucks!

I have a friend who bought way too many tickets for June 12 & 14, Boston, Mass. They are all in section 307, 308, and 312. If anyone is interested, email me at mickschix2@aol.com. I will give you the contact info for my friend. I believe h e will treat you well. Face value is $250.

This is not a great song to have a guest help out with...not a lot of lyrics, too long between refrains, just not melodic enough. I don't love her anyway but this was a horrible interruption in the show.
Forum: Tell Me

I guess if in that 22, there were 10 new songs, or not war horses, it would be more acceptable. Why not expect 30 or so songs? If the show were paced differently it would be no problem. Mick could actually SIT for a few songs...As Tears Go By, Wild Horses, No Expectations, Love IN Vain, Memory Motel all could be done while seated or at the very least, standing still. Keith does his 2 song set ( w

Thanks for posting McCartney...perfect comparison. If there are Stones spies reading our posts, maybe they'll remind the band that their faithful followers NOTICE these things...34 songs next to 22----just sayin...
Forum: Tell Me

SLEW I'm sick of stupid criticism too....I don't mind real criticism about not enough MT, or a shortened set list but to say they're always out of tune....just annoying.
Forum: Tell Me

All of the nose bleeds are still available in Boston, both night. So what does that mean? Those with the $85 tickets have a better shot at a great upgrade, a front section seat?
Forum: Tell Me

Not happy they've dropped from 23 to 22 songs! What will it be when they get to the East Coast?? 20?? Same ticket prices!! How about $100 less for every song dropped?

Yeah, the only time I saw them do SWAY live was Foxboro, Ma in Sept 2006....it was not great....you are so right. MT SHOULD be playing this live.
Forum: Tell Me

Out of tune, really? Were you actually at the show? When I saw them on Dec 8 in Brooklyn they were absolutely jaw-dropping great!
Forum: Tell Me

Very insincere! Also a lie, they ALL know the deal with ticket prices. It makes me sick really.
Forum: Tell Me

You have to be a REAL A**hole to get messed up before A Stones concert....especially with the price of tix and all the hassles that go along with just getting in the damn door! The first time I ever saw the Stones was July 1972 in Boston. I had a seat overlooking the stage, stage left, one tier up..the guys sitting next to me were drinking straight Jack Daniels and puffing on joints as Stevie W
Forum: Tell Me

I like that phrase..seeing the Stones is either a gamblle or a financial liability. You've help me decide! I won't pay the $600 nthis time. If I am lucky enough to go in with someone who has an $85 pair, so be it.
Forum: Tell Me

No, I don't mean take your $85 ticket and NOT go in...I say, go in, and if your seat really sucks, go buy a better one...if they let you go out, yes, sell it. But I am thinking as others have said, if you are in a horrible seat, MOVE when it gets dark after a few songs. You KNOW there will be some empty seats.
Forum: Tell Me

Maybe at Hyde Park, the significance of the location will thaw them a bit. It IS a shame...and I wonder if they know how it bothers us. We kind of take it personally, like a feud in our family that we can't mediate.
Forum: Tell Me

Although I'm not a Marianne Faithful fan, THAT would be cool, to have her sing at Hyde Park with Sir Mick!! And Sister Morphine!! Now THAT would be a rock moment!
Forum: Tell Me

So, if you were unlucky enough to get a nose bleed seat, was there no chance to move down, to a lower level? I can't believe all of the lousy seats were sold/assigned.
Forum: Tell Me

I'm hoping it's different in Boston, as least a bit quicker. You can always BUY a better seat once inside if you hate you $85 seat. Sell the $85 for face value, and buy an upgrade.
Forum: Tell Me

NO ONE! Mick should sing it alone w/ Keith on harmonies!
Forum: Tell Me

Good job, SIGHUNT! Add my name to this petition. Are they REALLY afraid MT will steal the show? They should look at it as ENHANCING THEIR SHOW! I am already annoyed that he has gone from a lousy 2 songs to just 1....COME ON BOYS! This is the last round, do it for the fans who have been with you all the way!
Forum: Tell Me

I'm not happy to see that in the second California show MT did NOT play " Love in Vain"...this does not bode well at all. He got a song cut ALREADY?? What's going on BV??
Forum: Tell Me

I am not happy, thinking of a 2 hour wait in line just to get to the WILL CALL for the $85 tix but that might be just the typical L.A fogginess...but I am glad to hear folks got great seats for just $85! If is was not sold out, it might be easier to think about moving closer if I were to end up in a nosebleed.
Forum: Tell Me

Maybe t hey'll decide to harmonize on " Factory Girl"....although I find that a rather odd choice...Keith is terrified of sharing the spotlight and microphone with Mick Jagger. He would feel diminished by it.
