all of the shows outside Europe!

jb Allof these shows have rows of 10-12 in every section but first 10-20 rows.....I would reconsider having the Chicago Summitt at Regina....after all, Regina is for lovers.

A popular sentiment among our Euro memebers...by the way Gaza, lets start charging membership fees to post here...will send them a laminate of the tent and the official "rocks-Off " tee shirt...all for just $100!!!

Sir Stonesalot I'm with SSC...just stop when they finish Europe.

Unless they wanna drop all the ABB crap, and play some different songs...and use the Superbowl tongue stage. I'd probably pony up one or two more times for that.

Interesting analysis....I think most of us wish they would stop after Europe and spare us the embarassment of this unecessary tour.............

RollingstonesUSA How about a Alice Cooper, Mick duet....

jb Halifax has only sold 35k and expected 60k!!! "No more Mr, Nice Guy", indeed!!!

twicks1 Imagine the horror of walking around as JB for a day...constantly in fear of the Stones "embarrassing" themselves...feeling actual pain and humiliation when another band charts higher than the Stones or grosses more in concert revenue. Instead of elation at being able to see his favorite band live several more times, all he feels is bitter dejection because many of the shows aren't selling well as he would like them to.

Interesting way to live, my friend.

He is merely stating the facts! He is a successful man due to his skills with numbers, statistics, data, etc...

And you are a lovely young woman with exceptional photographs of the band.

twicks1 Exactly my point. It sounds like you've got enough money to score great tickets to any show you choose to attend. And since you're going to get the same performance out of the Stones whether there are 35,000 people there or 65,000...all your worrying is basically wasted energy. (Just like me trying to change your complaining ways.)

It is something that just gets to me...you are right to an extent, it really does bother me...I just find it hard to accept that they are no longer the best/biggest band in the world.

glencar They should be adding shows! They're slowing down considerably! And play more ABB, you feckers!

They are certainly still one of the biggest bands in the world in terms of the overall package (tours, albums, longevity). That is undeniable.

And to me, you, and most everybody else here, they will always be the best.

So what's to worry about?

Chicago would be my first pick...it is not a very good place for the Stones and they have given all they can to a city which has rejected them based on initial sales....
