Rolling Stones 2019 Tour
Announced this week.
My 12 year old son who loves classic rock is already hassling me to take him. We've seen the Who a couple times, Springsteen, and Lenny Kravits. Its been 20 years since I've seen the Stones and .....this could be the last time.

Holy crap. I last saw them in 1980 in Seattle. They were over the hill then, as far as rock'n'roll goes. Even then, I only went to see The Clash and Greg Khin, who both opened for them.

Last time I saw them, Little Stevie Wonder was the warm up act.
I don’t think they’ve changed the show much, since then. |

We saw the steel wheels tour ages ago. It was good to see them, but I don’t think I’d go again. And they are one of my favorite bands.

I saw them in Dallas about three years ago with my teen son and adult cousin.
AMAZING They are sober. They played the good stuff. It was maybe the best show I have ever seen - and I have seen many many shows. If you have the coin and any interest, do it. I need to check this out. They were great! Ok. Just signed up for early ticket notifications and posted on FB to see who wants to go. Thanks for the heads up!

Only 13 shows on the American leg of the tour, they'll most likely sell everything out, so get em while you can! Edit - check out this line from the promotors web page: "Currently, the maximum price for Rolling Stones tickets is $9751, a price that could apply to the best Rolling Stones tickets available." Yikes! That's a lot!

I had a security job on the Steel Wheels tour, checking backstage passes in from of the dressing room doors. I got to watch the soundcheck from the barrier in front of the front row in an empty Three Rivers Stadium. Cool stuff. Saw them again on Voodoo Lounge for free. Great shows, but I wouldn't pay today's ticket prices and fight the crowds.

Saw them every tour from '72 to '89 @ LA Coliseum w Guns n' Roses, (along w every other band I wanted to see as a teenager). I would find it just depressing to see them now, just a pathetic display of how much time has passed and how old we all are. No thanks, I think I'll live in the present.

And as Higgins said, they, (and their music), were getting old in 1980.

I love the Stones and have a pile of the music on vinyl.
But saw their special from Cuba... only got through about two songs... looked and sounded like the living dead.

Stones are always in rotation on my turntable, but I'll pass on this tour. There are just too many smaller, more accessible bands and venues my kids and I would rather see and have tickets for. I'll leave it there...
