I doubt it is an actual press conference right? We all know they are hitting Europe in the Summer so what is the major announcement?
I certainly do not think it concerns any new material or album to come does it?
I don't expect another (IF and I stress IF they hold up to do another album) until 2008.

Maybe they will reveal who is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's kid? |

Is this going to be a "announcement" in the form of a press release or will they do something live? I don't see Keith or Mick, or any of them for that matter, appearing together...perhaps a satellite feed with Mick and Keith?

I don't think so as this is not a new tour, just a continuation of the never ending ABB tour...they need to promote it as they did not sell all that great last time, and people are busy buying Police and Genesis tickets. |

Joshy, will you be making the effort? I seriously am time limited & will only make the effort if I know other ROer's will be there. |

I am looking into a European family vacation this summer...if the dates work, I certainly will try to work around the concert schedule. I guess we will have a better idea this Thursday......what a mess at the airports this past weekend!! |

It was mostly foreign flights that got screwed this time, i.e. Royal Air Maroc at JFK was on the tarmac for 11 hours. I was stuck on the tarmac at Christmas for 1/2 an hour & I started getting angry... |

The only dates I can go to Europe are 8/16-8/19. The 15th & 20th would be my travel days. Quite frankly, I'm not sure it's worth the chance of a cancelled show. |

I have been stuck up to an hr, and like you, I was going nuts...how can they keep people in a plane for so long..it is very claustrophobic and they need to re-fuel anyway..why not let them out and then re-board??? |

I guess last summer I was stuck on the tarmac for an hour at the Myrtle Beach airport but that was on the way home. This last time, we'd already arrived in NY but they had no gate for us. I think people are more willing to put up with it if they think the flight might somehow get off. |

It'll be a press conference. Either in London or Amsterdam.
Why would they do a satellite feed when all 4 of them have homes in England? |

Not true. The general public are totally oblivious to the fact that the Stones are touring this summer, as are, I would imagine, most of their fans. It hasnt even been hinted at on their own website
quote:
so what is the major announcement?
um...the list of dates, perhaps?
They didnt announce anything but the dates at the US one as the album hadnt been finished and they didnt even know the title
They hardly need a "major announcement" to do a press conference. They do one on the eve of every European tour and they even did one for the Superbowl.

RS.com "Legacy" fan club members can listen to the press conference on a Sprint phone for $9.99 a minute if you have an Amex Gold card. |

London sounds good to me! |

I dont know, but unless they're planning to return to England by boat, I would imagine that they should be able to get to Europe in time.
Theres no point in having a press conference in the US as the media there would have no interest. |

They could do it by satellite again. |

true...last mini tour was by all accounts a low point in media lack of attention and poor attendance...they "jumped the shark" here for sure. I don't see a viable market here at all anymore, other than small arenas(5-10k). |

they'll need to increase the ticket prices substantially in order to win gross and help cover the tarp costs |

they should do a feed again! keith drinking and smoking on GMTV was too much!
jb - you will go to the london shows + other select and exclusive events on my behalf. You are hereby granted permission to claim, when asked, that you are in fact, a licensed reproduction of OldKR.
I will clear it with Chuck.

Even that's a marginal proposition! |
