Beacon Theater in NYC, any word on tickets to that show?

Longtime 10 club members who live in Manhattan will receive a secret email with instructions...:D

I still can't believe they're playing Wichita. First off, I live just a mile away from Cessna Stadium. Secondly, that Stadium is on the campus of my college, Wichita State University. If I get a GTA position, I could concievably open up the window and just watch and listen to the show from my office. Either way, I'm going to have the option of hearing this thing for free. However, I want to support a big act like this in the hopes of encouraging more to hit up this little shithole of conservatism/glocalization called Wichita...not that I can really afford the Stones' ticket price. It's been nearly 13 years since Pearl Jam hit up my town and I never thought we'd see them again, but if this Stones gig is a success then maybe I can at least hope.

Either way, even though I'm not really a huge Stones fan after this announcement I think I understand what some of the Canadians were going through during Pearl Jam's NA '05 tour.

Does anybody know how the passcode situation works? Is it 1 passcode for every member of the fan-club...or a different password for every member? Also, is there different passcodes for different shows. I want to buy presale tickets for regina...but am not a member of the fanclub...which is $125.

Sorry, guess I was wrong when I first responded to your post. Initially it appeared that Ticketmaster didn't have a venue map for the Regina show and I could have sworn that there was only one ticket price. Usually that means a GA type show. When I looked recently, I noticed a venue map was now posted and there were different ticket prices.

Will people please stop bashing the Stones. Who cares if you don't like the, their the band that defines rock and roll. Who cares if they're sixty-five. You won't have a fourth of their energy when you're that age, and they put on a better show then 99% of the people out there. I would pay more money that I would for nearly any other band to see them play at their worst. Want to know why? Because they are the Rolling fuckin' Stones, unquestionably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. They're fuckin' legends.

ALICE COOPER will open the show in Halifax.


For those of you who enjoy the Stones music, but have not seen them live....I encourage you to give them a chance. Put aside all of the "they are old" jokes and just watch the way Mick Jagger work a stage like no one else. While Keith and Ronnie Wood may not have all the Licks they did in the late 70's early 80's...they got most of them while Charlie Watts remains the best Jazz drummer to ever play in a rock band....the guy gets better with age..(See pic inside Ten Club magazine with Matt and Charlie).

It sums up this way:

Keith Richards has recovered from brain surgery, Ronnie Wood is out of rehab, Charlie Watts' cancer is in remission, and Mick just turned 63 this week....time to take the show back to the US. these are the songs that have been performed on the current tour since August of 2005:

Rough Justice
Live with Me
19th Nervous Breakdown
She's So Cold
Dead Flowers
Back of My Hand
Ain't Too Proud to Beg
Infamy (Keith)
Oh No Not You Again
Get Up Stand Up (Bob Marley cover)
Mr. Pitifull (Otis Redding cover)
Tumbling Dice
Brown Sugar
Jumping Jack Flash
Start Me Up
You Got Me Rockin
Shattered
Beast of Burden
Heartbreaker
Night Time (Ray Charles cover)
The Worst (Keith)
Miss You
Satisfaction
Honky Tonk Woman
Out of Control
Sympathy for the Devil
You Can't Always Get What You Want
It's Only Rock 'n' Roll
Bitch
Ruby Tuesday
All Down The Line
Midnight Rambler
Paint It, Black
Rocks Off

Is this going to be the "Bigger Bang" stage set up again or are they planning something new?

From what I've read it's a continuation of the Bigger Bang tour.

I first saw the stones in 1972. They were an old band then! lol Wasn't really too much a fan, but seeing them live made me one. Haven't seen them since 1994, but they do put on a good show. Not as good as PJ but still worth a look.

They will be using the same stage set up as last year/early this year as the tour has not stopped aside from Keith's brain Surgery (also Ronnie needed a bit of booze rehab!)

Never seen the Stones live exc on tv and once I sat in the Shea Stadium parking lot for a show, however Wed night in Giants Stadium is just too much hassle for me. Tickets in all price ranges still available, btw.

I would jump for the Beacon Theater tickets though, couple of hundred would not be too much to see them in a venue like that.

It is too bad that is when you stopped, each tour since has featured some really good stuff...

1997 - I saw the Columbus, Oh. show. Got "Sister Morphine," "19th Nervous Breakdown," "Let's Spend the Night Together," and "Little Queenie"

1999- Among other things, this tour brought back "Midnight Rambler" and was the first time they played "Some Girls" live. Plus some other good stuff like "Live With Me" and "When the Whip Comes Down"

2002- All I can say is "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Stray Cat Blues"

2005/2006- I saw the Pittsburgh show, which of course featured Pearl Jam, which was totally cool. The only downside was that since it was so early on the tour, they weren't doing many Bigger Bang songs yet. I really like the album and would like to have heard more of it live. Awesome night, though.

The only thing that sucks about the Stones in Regina is the opening band, Three Days Grace. Why God Why? The Stones usually have wicked opening band (Pearl Jam, Metallica, Kanye West etc.). I'm hoping they'll book a better act for the other night.
