T&A Stones set to play T.O. club gig

By JOE WARMINGTON -- Toronto Sun





British rockers The Rolling Stones, from left, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Ron Wood, are in Toronto rehearsing and are set to play tomorrow night.
Start them up and start lining up.

Legendary British rock band The Rolling Stones is set to hit the stage at a downtown Toronto nightspot tomorrow night.

Sources tell the Toronto Sun the gig is a "thank you" to what Mick Jagger has called "our favourite city" and the band's home away from home.

The Stones have been here this summer rehearsing for their upcoming tour, which starts in two weeks at Fenway Park in Boston and hits Toronto Sept. 26 at the Rogers Centre.

That has Stones' fans hyper-speculating because, based on past practice, they're overdue to play one of their now-legendary surprise club gigs in Toronto.

"There have been three places in the running," a source said.


However, the source added that tomorrow night's show is, at this time, scheduled for the Phoenix on Sherbourne St. However, other venues including the Mod Club and the Kool Haus are also options should there be a decision to change.

"I figure the show will start around 8 p.m.," the source said.

A call to the Phoenix was received with shock.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," said a staffer. "If such a concert is happening, they have not told the staff."

Another insider said a decision on where the Stones play is customarily made on the afternoon of the outing, but the band is revved up to perform tomorrow night.

"The tickets will be first-come, first-serve and a small cover charge at the door."

The three times that the Stones previously have warmed up for a world tour in Toronto, they played an intimate, next-to-impossible-to-score-a-ticket-to club show here approximately two weeks before the tour's first concert:


On Tuesday, July 19, 1994 the Stones played at RPM (now the Kool Haus), 13 days before the tour launch.

On Thursday, Sept. 4, 1997 they rocked the Horseshoe, 19 days before the tour launch.

On Friday, Aug. 16, 2002 they ripped the Palais Royale, 18 days before the tour launch.
A Bigger Bang, is due to hit record stores Sept. 6.

Better hurry up and figure it out. Type "Bit Torrent FAQ" into a search engine. You can find step by step info on how to get started. It's cool!
