Lazy Bones On Friday night, Toronto Tom and I headed for the school in hopes of a glimpse or some ear candy. What we were uncertain of, was if rehearsals were to resume that early after Chuchs' passing. The school itself is completely fenced-in. We, however, tip-toed around as the gym is at the back of the property. Rather than hearing crews setting things up, they were taking things down. Two semis and a Ryder truck were being loaded. Although, that excursion wasn't a success, it tested our physical abilities through some rugged brush..lol.
Once the sun went down, we were off to Gerry Stones', STONES PLACE. Located at 1255 Queen Street, downtown Toronto, it's a beautiful place with walls filled with autographed photos, rarities and Stones' stuff galore. It was the long-awaited grand opening and the Midnight Ramblers (complete with 2 female backups and a sax player) kicked things off taking the stage at 11:00. It was the first time I've seen them, and they're very good. A set that opened with The Last Time and included other odd balls as Slave, Emotional Rescue and Shake Your Hips. It was a great way to get the Stones blood flowing before the tour starts. They'll be playing there "most Fridays" for the summer.

If anyone is in the area, believe me, this is a place you don't want to miss!

nankerphelge This is killing me. I want to go to Toronto so freakin bad right now! I'd camp out in that Stones place and sneak through the brush with you undercover of the night. If only this JOB didn't get in the way!

nankerphelge Torture! You are torturing me!

I have a big hearing next week, and then August is shaping up to be a wee bit slower with a vacation in upstate NY that puts me within striking distance of Toronto. How long are they in Toronto? Any idea of when they are supposed to break camp?

Lazy Bones I have heard that times and location (Fleet Center?) has been booked in Boston a week or so before they kick off the tour 3rd September. Personally, I don't know if that's confirmed.

I presume that if a "thank you" gig was to be scheduled in Toronto, it might be the week of 19th August. I'm guessing, of course.

winter It was in the local paper that the Stones have the Fleet Center booked for the week before the Tour Opener.
