The sense of innovation and high tech by the stones has been present in all the tours... first band with heavy lights and lasers, wireless mikes and axes, first with mobile stages, center stage, the first LIVE webcast in 1994, the ciberchoice in 1997, the Stadiums-arenas-theatres in 2002, etc
So now this is it.. first live shows by phone

I am sure they got the idea from the live setlist call ins and maybe even the Undercover cell phone calling list. |

Can't wait to hear the torrent of a phone call!
This is great from a tech point, just sell the Cd's of the show, complete and uncut... They could get at least $50.00 a pop and would sell millions! |

When did the Stones ever use lasers?
And wasnt Hampton Roads 81 the 1st pay per view show? |

With the way the phone calls are set up it sounds hard to capture an uninterrupted feed. And selling a hit every 7 minutes, its almost like crack guaranteeing more cash for another 7 minutes. Until they play "Streets Of Love." |

excerpt from www.bbc.co.uk
Fans can pay to hear the Rolling Stones' Paris gig on the phone.
The live service will be offered in seven-minute chunks for $1.99 (£1.07), so callers must register several times in order to listen to the whole concert.
The service offered by the Stones enables anyone in the world to dial a telephone number while the band are on stage in the French capital.
They can listen for seven minutes at a time, with an announcement after six minutes that their session is almost over.
Stones manager Marty Erlichman said this would help to avoid bootlegging.
"It's a great thing for the artists," he told the Reuters news agency.
"It's passive income, and they're helping fans enjoy the experience without affecting ticket sales."

Christ - Ive heard it all now. Listening to a show down a phone line will 'help to avoid bootlegging'. What colour is the sky in this guy's world? Like, youre going to get the show in pristine quality and youre then going to save the messages and then pay to access your voicemail to hear it over and over again
But hey, its going to give The Who's "Encore Series" a run for its money in the anti-bootlegging stakes, I bet!

I got screwed by them. I preordered the cd's online. Went to the show. waited almost 2 months for the cds.
Now everyone else who just bought the cds at the shows,
1. didn't pay shipping
2. didn't have to wait 2 months
3. apparently got a bonus cd
What a wonderful world. |

is anyone really that excited about this, given poor sound quality on phones? Why don't they offer downloads/streaming, etc? Doesn't make alot of sense to me. |

The only 2 times I ever did this, first one was KISS, I didnt even go to the show but gave a friend money to pick me up the discs. 2nd time was through a different company for the Pixies at the Wiltern, had to wait 2 months but they were mixed post gig and pressed on silvers. Well worth the wait.

funny!
is there a way to only listen to 2 or 3 songs? What if I just want to tune in in case they play ADTL? But just that song. I have no interest in holding a phone to my ear during Miss You, HTW SMU etc |

The songs sound so bad...why would anyone pay for this??? |

" I can't even listen to sound board recording post 81...."
I absolutely LOVE listening to boots from the 1981 Tour .
Whenever I hear anything from Hampton '81 I get that " The Party Has Just Started " feeling . Indeed , I's hear barkers and see colored balloons falling down all around me .
Flacky Cakes ! |
