Huntin' the Stones
By MATTHEW KWONG, TORONTO SUN
THE GIG is up.
Despite intense secrecy, hundreds of Rolling Stones fans queued up early this morning for a "surprise" concert at the Phoenix Concert Theatre, where, sources say, the band will perform tonight.
"The rumours are true, they'll be here. This is a pilgrimage; this is what rock and roll is all about," Monte Winston said as he waited outside 410 Sherbourne St.
The Phoenix has an 1,100-person capacity and a permanent stage, but sources said only 400 tickets would be put up for sale to fans this morning at 8 a.m. with the rest of the passes going to industry insiders and friends.
BIGGER STAGE
Sources also said the stage has been expanded to accommodate the Stones -- singer Mick Jagger, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarists Keith Richards and Ron Wood -- as well as their side musicians.
Outside the Phoenix this morning, an estimated 30 homeless people, some paid $100, were in line in a bid to buy tickets for scalpers. And the muggy weather didn't stop fans from staying up all night.
"If you're a true fan, you line up no matter what," said Dave Kruzel, who drove in from Cleveland on a friend's tip. "I made the trip, so I hope they will be here. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't true."
Internet bulletin boards were buzzing about a possible intimate Toronto club appearance, but details were so scarce that "Stoners" were sent to three different venues: Kool Haus, the Mod Club and the Phoenix.
Two sources later confirmed it would be the Phoenix. A few fans started lining up at the club at 9 a.m. yesterday. Fewer than 10 were there by noon. But by 1 a.m. this morning the number had swelled to more than 400.
Robert Winter, who had the coveted spot at the front of the line, was confident he was in the right place all along. "This is where their equipment is," he said.
Brenda Hilt, the president of the Stones Toronto fan club, was certain about the venue once she spotted Stones tour boss Michael Cohl's son.
Yesterday morning, vans pulled up to the Phoenix to deliver beverages, presumably for the crew. Later, trucks drove up the northside alley to roll out sound equipment.
Security guards were also there, as well as official-looking types wearing Stones T-shirts and laminated passes.
Some 50 loyal fans awaiting the boys outside Greenwood College school where the band has been rehearsing since mid-July were given a wristband and a ticket.
Stones promoter Cohl oversaw the giveaway.
Still, some fans worried about a possible "Filmore '99" repeat.
The band has been known to cancel surprise gigs if venue information leaks to the media 24 hours before a show. The Stones cut their concert at San Francisco's Filmore in 1999 after such an incident.
"But I'm not worried about that," Winston said. "We're beyond that 24-hour period now. We're safe."
Niagara Falls-based rockers The Trews are to open the show. |

They are a very good band. Saw them open for Big Sugar many times. They are also opening for Robert Plant's end-of-summer Canadian tour. |

They just said Mick Jagger is the one who must give his final permission. So it's not for sure I guess. |
