Having just downloaded the press conference performance, for those of you who didnt/havent got it all, Michael Cohl explained the following
The North American tour will take in around 40 cities (so far theyve confirmed 32). The first part will run from August 21st through December 1st
Instead of the 3 types of shows in one city this time, maybe ONE type of show per city so that more cities in America gets to see the band.
start up in the US from January 7th through February 7th
then Puerto Rico, Mexico, Buenos Aires, Rio and other parts of South America, Japan, hopefully get to China this time around, be ready at the end of April for a break, take off the month of May, then tour Europe June, July and August. ending up around 1 year from the time that they started.
90% of the ticket prices (ie the non Gold Circle ones) will average $100-105
Public sales begin Saturday 14th May and will roll out every weekend for the next month by which time the entire tour will be on sale (presumably he means the North American ones) |

New York is beautiful in January provided the Stones are in town Blue! Obviously that's what I meant!

Depends on a few things.
At the minute, if theyre playing 3 types of shows in the NY area (including a theatre gig) in September and 2 MSG shows in January, I'll be trying for September as I want the theatre show. Thats basically the carrot thats dangling to make me go to NY in September instad of January. If I get tickets for that, I should be at all 3 NY shows that month. Jaxx is planning to do the same.
If I dont get in, I'd prefer the January shows (assuming they come off). Flights are about $200 cheaper for starters and I would much prefer 2 nights at MSG to 1 MSG and 1 stadium show which would be the option for September.
the fact that NY in January will probably be so cold as to make my nuts go blue doesnt bother me too much.
Id love to do other cities too, especially Chicago, but I've committed to going to NY if I'm going at all and I simply havent got the time off work and the $$ (let alone the OK from the missus!) to go over twice THIS time around.
Hopefully I'll be over in EITHER September or January.

Michael Cohl is full of crap. He's saying they'll play 40 cities, but now he's factoring in the "technicalities" (i.e. they counted E.Rutherford as NY show on Licks; now they'll factor it as a New Jersey show). They played over 30 North American cities last tour, not 19:
Boston
Foxboro
Chicago
Philadelphia,
Upper Darby
New York
East Rutherford
Landover
Hartford
Detroit, MI
Cleveland, OH
Toronto, ON
Columbus, OH
Sunrise (Fort Lauderdale, near Miami)
Miami, FL
Atlanta, GA
Los Angeles, CA
Anaheim (Los Angeles
Tacoma (Near Seattle
San Francisco, CA
Oakland
San Diego
Las Vegas, NV
San Antonio
Nashville, TN
Montreal
Pittsburgh, PA
Houston, TX
Oklahoma City
Phoenix, AZ
Denver, CO
San Jose, CA

Think about it. The tour isn't all that different than Licks, except for a few "substitutes". Of course, I'm going off of the dates so far; I'm sure there will be more added, but most likely shows in the cities that are already mentioned (dates on the 2005 tour are the *'s):
Upper Darby (close to Philly)--*Hershey fills in for this
Landover (DC)-- *MCI Center fills in for this
Cleveland, OH--*Charlottesville fills in
Sunrise (Fort Lauderdale, near Miami)-- *Tampa
Tacoma (Near Seattle)-- *Seattle
Oakland-- *Fresno
San Antonio-- *Dallas
Nashville, TN-- *St.Paul, MN
Montreal-- *Moncton
Oklahoma City-- *Milwaukee
Phoenix, AZ-- *Glendale
San Jose, CA-- *Utah
The adds:
*Portland
*Calgary
*Charlotte
So what they really did was substitute cities for cities; they aren't necessarily playing in more cities (well, obviously it will be a little more, but not as expansive as Cohl made it to be). Was Cohl confident with the selling point? I'm sure it's not a big deal, but it's definitely not more of an extensive tour than Licks. The rumors aren't calling for more than what hasn't been listed (except for St.Louis; and Vegas hasn't been listed, but it's a lock).

I flew to MSG for 2 shows in January 1998 and I had 2 days of cold wind and rain and the night of the final show it snowed as well...
But hey, at least I got to sit 2 rows closer to the stage than the Spice Girls!!

Yeah. Mel B (the dark one) even said: 'Cool shirt!' to me, I was wearing a ladies T with the purple spikey tong  . I cherish those moments forever! They sat for a few minutes before the show, then went backstage for 20 minutes, and returned when the show started. Then they only stayed on for 2 or 3 songs, just 2 of them stayed longer, but left after the 6th song as well. A whole row was cleared for them (5 persons and personal security), fans were outraged about it. A whole row unavailable to fans, and for just 5 people who stay for a few songs... |

I remember when those shows took place and it was right in the middle of the whole Spice Girls press obsession in the UK and the fact that they went to see the Stones in NY actually got TV coverage - for the Spice Girls of course, not the Stones. At that time, if they as much as farted in the bathtub it made the press (in Victoria's case, its still the same - except that she will probably phone the press to tell them)
I'd no idea about this story about them getting a few rows and then only staying for a few songs. I'd have been apoplectic had I heard this at the time.
Mind you, the girls were quoted as saying they thought the Stones were fantastic.
Where ARE they now, eh? LOL |
