LOL.
Oh I can already hear Mick.
"Ello. I am here to tell you about our EXCITING new Tour. We have many surprises in store for our European fans and look forward to visiting many places we've never played before."
yeah. He always says one of the reasons they are coming back is because they're "excited to play places they havent played before"
after nearly 45 years of touring, is there really anywhere they havent played?
even with todays exciting news about Slane Castle show, they're still one of only a handful of bands to have ever headlined there before |

The Stones WON'T be playing Wembley Stadium on the 25th August. Just checked rfl.uk.com and the stadium is in use that day for the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final (which explains why the hotels in the Wembley area are pretty much filled up already)
Looks like Slane may well be followed by some arena shows instead. Wembley Arena is now listed on IORR as a possibility for 25/8/07, so I think either they'll play 2-3 nights there or else precede it with a couple of arena shows in other cities |

if the rumours about this summer are true, there are about 5-6 countries in eastern europe who could be getting Stones shows for the very first time. |

Good to see our friends at Reuters used the info I gave them about the webcast... 
Rolling Stones to announce Europe tour Thursday
Wed Mar 21, 2007 3:05PM EDT
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Mick Jagger will take to the Web on Thursday to announce details of the Rolling Stones' summer tour of Europe, a spokeswoman said.
Jagger, who will be in London, will reveal the itinerary and take questions from European media outlets at 4 p.m. GMT (noon EDT). The webcast can also be viewed by the public.
It was originally envisaged that the whole band would talk about the tour during a traditional news conference at a London hotel, but U.S.-based guitarist Keith Richards was unable to make it, according to a source close to the band. ( )
The trek is expected to include cities that were pulled from the itinerary of last year's tour after Richards hurt his head while on vacation in Fiji. Additionally, two Spain shows were scrapped at the last minute when Jagger came down with a sore throat.
According to the well-connected fan web site It's Only Rock'n Roll the tour will likely include a June 10 stop at Britain's Isle of Wight festival, while shows are rumored for such cities as Athens, Barcelona, Belgrade, Brussels, Bucharest, Chorzow, Copenhagen, Duesseldorf, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Lisbon, Lyon, Madrid, Nijmegen, Oslo, Paris, Rome, San Sebastian, St. Petersburg, and Zagreb.

Is there a charge to watch the presser?
Maybe I can get a wrist band somewhere?
What about my payment to rs.com, will that get me in a virtual waiting room, where I can enter Brian Jones Great Grandmother's name, then the ship name which Ron Wood Romany relatives settled on, to have a chance to download the secret code to bring up the special video player, which I will need to pay a $100 non refundable, non transferrable fee? I understand, before I can access the video, I have to purchase special commerative shirts from the cancelled shows in '06, only available in size small, at $50 each.
I am pumped & jacked with excitement!
If one of the Stones takes ill, will I get a refund?
Hello, is this mike working? |

I have heard rumors from a very reliable source that they will be playing Honkeytonk Woman, JJ Flash, SMU, Tumbling Dice, Brown Sugar, Satisfaction, YGMR, IORR, YCAGWYW and Night Time on the European tour this summer. |

No..its free, I believe, and the public can watch it. (Even the Stones wouldnt be so clueless as to have a webcast to announce a tour that hardly anyone will be able to watch)
Although dont be surprised if theres some technical fuck up.

Correct. ET is usually 5 hours behind GMT, but as your clocks changed two weeks before ours, it's just a 4 hour difference until this weekend
17.00 Central Europe Time
16.00 GMT
12.00 ET, 11.00 CT, 09.00 Pacific
Gazza, the clocks where I work are always set on GMT. Does UK have Daylight Savings Time? Normally, the USA would have done DST changeover the weekend after this upcoming one but some shrews wanted to move it up. |

yes..but the clocks dont change over here until this weekend, so - for a couple of weeks only - ET in the US is only 4 hours behind GMT, instead of 5. |

Oh yeah. It's just as far as being "keeper of the flame" of the Stones, it just seems that Mick is more concerned about keeping the Stones name out there, despite his solo ventures. I just contrast this to the late 80's/early 90's when Keith would hold the Stones flame close to his heart while Mick would rather talk about anything else. Now it seems that Keith has become aloof about the whole venture while Mick is out there promoting and pouring his heart into the performances. But then again, maybe there are far more cynical and petty explanations for the lack of a show of unity.
