Did anyone see that they released $85 tickets for tonight's show in LA? Also did the same for the Oakland show.
Think ther was a SHIT-LOAD of UN-SOLD tickets because of the high prices?
The prices are certainly high, but I don't think that's why they were unsold (at least not the only reason), and I don't think they would have stayed unsold. Anytime you have the media constantly reporting unsold tickets and making it sound like the building won't get filled, people don't get in a hurry to buy them. In fact they usually just go down there the day of the show and try to get the tickets that are desperately being dumped off. In a way the media sort of fueled their own story. Same thing happened the first time I saw them in '97 and by show day only about 1/5 of the tickets had been sold, by show time it was packed though. Everybody just came up there to get tickets the night of the show.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
I had been hoping it wasn't, but so far it is looking right. I have no problem with the setlist, other than it being the same old shit with the exception of Factory Girl, but the guests. Those fucking guests. I really hope somebody added that as a joke. Gwen Stefani? On Wild Horses no less? Keith Urban?
:fp:
I still wouldn't care for it much, but it would make much more sense if they switched those songs. Keith Urban would make more sense on Wild Horses, and while Gwen makes no sense at all, she makes even less sense doing Wild Horses.

Seems right from what they've been reporting on twitter thus far. I'm not the biggest Stones fan but that's pretty solid (I've never seen them before, so I'd want to see the more common songs). Guests are odd. I had a pair of the $85 seats in my cart 3x yesterday but couldn't find anybody that wanted to go (and pay for their own ticket) so I had to let them go. Seen nightmare stories on twitter from the people that bought $85s that the will call lines are long and unorganized. If you have those seats, get there early to grab your tickets. Did see that one person I know ended up with tix that would have regularly been $600 each in the $85 sale.

Yea, so far that looks like that's the set list(after 5 songs). Same old shit is right. I saw them in Newark, NJ in December and they played almost that same set list.(they didn't play Factory Girl, Emotional Rescue and Get Off Of My Cloud). 20 out of 23 songs!!
I wish they did away with the dog & pony show(aka:guest> ), and just played some different songs.
Mick Taylor is ONLY getting ONE song?? MAYBE he'll get more as the tour goes along?(Can't You Hear Me Knockin'?)

I forgot Emotional Rescue, but I'm not a fan of the song, but anything different is good. And that's a fucking joke only giving Taylor one song. The guy is the best musician ever to step foot in that band, played on their most iconic albums, and he gets the same amount of songs as Gwen Stefani and Keith Urban? He got two at the club show, and one of them was Love In Vain. But no, do Midnight Rambler, again, like every show last year.

Stones fans and PJ fans aren't all that different are they? People bitching, more people bitching about people bitching than actual people bitching, etc. The only difference is that they don't care all that much about merch.

I was holding out hope that maybe Gwen might surprise me and do a good job, but she sounded like shit, had no chemistry at all with the band, forgot words, etc.

I think there needs to be a new rule, no guests perform on songs from the Taylor era, unless Taylor is on stage also. You have Gwen Stefani up there on Wild Horses, OK fine, meanwhile a band member who actually played on the song is sitting on his ass backstage watching Conan, chomping at the bit to play.
I don't know if Jagger (who I assume is behind all this, as Keith and Ronnie went on record several times about expanding his role) is trying to torture this guy or what. Dragging him around like a piece of equipment to play one song a night, seeming to intentionally snub him every chance they get. Something somebody said over on IORR cracked my ass up, but then I realized, it could very likely happen. Since Time Waits For No One is one of Taylor's few writing credits, and many consider it a definitive Taylor song for some nice guitar work (I'm not that big of a fan but it's OK), people have been constantly begging for them to play it. Somebody said "It would be a larf if they played it with Ronnie", I just thought it was funny, a hilarious (in theory) dick move. But then it dawned on me, they probably will do just that.
"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
Fuck yeah, they're playing "All Down The Line"! Tom on "Little Red Rooster"! And I love some "Dead Flowers". This is shaping up to be a good one.

I'm sure it probably will be, or at least not too many more surprises. But the surprises already for this show I really like. Tom Waits on Little Red Rooster is great, and All Down The Line (would have preferred Taylor on it, but Woody is pretty good at it), Emotional Rescue for the second time ever. Not bad. And I love Live With Me and Dead Flowers. Holding out hope for a flip of the script on Taylor and him doing a different song, or more than one, but I'm not holding out too much hope.

Well, just one song, Midnight Rambler again, for Taylor. What a joke. Dude didn't even play on the original. Hopefully they'll get that straightened out sooner of later.

At least he got a Warriors jersey out of the deal. They're going to have to use him more or it will be a fiasco. The fans are getting really fed up, except the Woody lovers (apparently some people think you have to choose a side, you can't like both), and many people bought tickets expecting to see Taylor. And see him in a larger role, as they teased us he would be.
I just hope there's a reasonable explanation, and not just Jagger being a douche, like maybe Taylor doesn't feel good (he does have health problems) or nervous getting back on the big stage.

"See a broad to get dat booty yak 'em, leg 'er down, a smack 'em yak 'em!"
hopefully, the Gwen Stefani disaster will deter them from this and just put those two "guest songs" after Rambler and keep MT out there for Sway/Knocking/Street Fighting Man/Love In Vain/etc.
There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

Yea, she butchered it.
