One Step Closer......
2 concerts at Fenway approved for Stones
Officials await word that rock group is coming
By Madison Park, Globe Correspondent | April 30, 2005
Boston officials have given official approval for two summer concerts at Fenway Park featuring the Rolling Stones.
But don't get the idea that seals the deal.
Licensing officials said yesterday they are not absolutely certain the legendary rock band is coming, but they issued a permit based on generous hints from Fenway.
''This decision was written on the premise it was the Rolling Stones," said Patricia Malone, director of the city's Consumer Affairs and Licensing Division, who made the decision this week. ''The concert has been approved with some information that still hasn't gotten to me. The agreement is written up so it only covers the Rolling Stones. But I have no official notification of that."
If the Stones aren't heading to Fenway this summer, then ballpark officials face another public hearing and another permit decision, Malone said.
Yesterday, Larry Cancro, vice president of Fenway Affairs, said he could not reveal the identity of the concert's main performers because of legal obligations.
Fenway officials have said that only the artist can make that announcement, which is expected next month.
Cancro threw in one more hint:
''While I'm not at liberty to say who the band is, here at Fenway Park, here in 2005, they will give their fans as much satisfaction as they did in the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s."
The Stones recorded ''(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" in 1965.
The concerts are scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 21, and Tuesday, Aug. 23.
