Stones US No Filter Tour

naturalfan — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 23:06:54 GMT

Who is going to a Stones show during the US tour? I am going Tuesday night - so excited! Heard that the opening show on Friday night was fantastic. Love those guys. Tuesday is the second show in Chicago and I am hoping for good weather.

Lucky you! Please come back and report! I've never seen the boys live and probably never will. Jagger at going on 76 and just having had heart valve surgery - man.

Husband and I saw them 30 years ago in a 6,000-seat venue. Even a seat in the middle of the floor had a good eyeline. Tickets were pricy, but i was able to cross it off my 'bucket list'. And Charlie Watts was still behind the drums.

Saw them in 2005 in a 20,000-seat local arena and flirted with the idea of seeing them this year at the Redskins football field.

Getting in and out of there is wretched and most of the seats are uncovered. If it is blazing hot on July 3, the performance date, I could not tolerate it. And if it rains, fuhgeddaboutit! It was, sadly, a no-go for me. I require climate control or at least a cover overhead.

I checked today to see if they would be in any covered arenas in the States, and since their last show stateside is in August, I am out of luck. Will have to cherish that I did see them once.

Oh well, I still have Bruuuuce to look forward to with his new tour coming up in the future.

My one son was offered a free ticket yesterday because his buddy's wife decided not to go to the July 3 show. My son decided not to take his friend up on it (he saw the 2005 show with me and my other son). John Mayer opened that show; I did not know who he was.

naturalfan, have a wonderful time! How could you not, right? The show is at Soldier Field, correct? (Told you I was checking their tour.)

Another fan here. Will be front & center @ Lincoln Financial Field in Philly 7/23. We can still use previously purchased ticket from the cancelled show.

I never could get into their music and I thought they were ugly when we were all young. Now that they are old, well they are just yucky to me and have no business being on stage. That being said, you all enjoy the show and don't mind me.LOL

blackhole99,

You are a stitch, as we used to say. (Or somebody said.)

@blackhole99 What made you determine that they have no business being on stage? Kindly expound, I'm dying to know!

44 years ago I had tickets to see the Stones in Frankfurt Germany. I decided that they were past their prime and sold the tickets. Joke was on me!

@golding76

The Stones will be at the Superdome in New Orleans on July 14. That’s indoors and air conditioned. Personally, I was always a Beatles fan, so not tempted myself.

The first time I saw the Stones I was 14 years old. You couldn't hear a darn thing for all the screaming girls (and probably boys, too). I still have the ticket stub in my memory box.

I saw them again 40 years later. Much better venue, much more subdued crowd.

Yes, I still have that ticket stub, too. LOL

Time flies

Those who will be seeing them during this tour-enjoy.

@naturalfan - About 15 years ago or so, we were given a last minute gift of front row section seats that night (I think we were row 4 or 5 ). I got on the phone and called every babysitter I could think of - finally found one!

Our seats were on the aisle, right next to the "runway" the "boys" came down sometimes. We could touch them. The only thing is - everyone stood for the entire concert, and because I'm shorter I had trouble seeing. Of course, we couldn't stand like that for the whole concert now! The one thing I remember is how thin Keith looked. Of course he always has and he always will!

We had an incredible time that night - didn't even get time to eat and didn't care!

Have an amazing time!

We've seen the Stones a couple of times - they NEVER disappoint.

I don't care how old you may be, never think you're too old to jam with these guys. They do a show that's not to be missed.

@golding76 - I too really debated about going to see them at FEDEX field, but it's awful for all the reasons you said. I've seen them off and on throughout the last 40 years and they are my favorite group. The last time I saw them, 2015 I think, in Raleigh, I thought that would be the last time they would be touring. And I've thought that a few times!

Couldn’t agree more...I was a huge Beatles fan and looked at most other groups as wannabees....DH is a big Mick fan...but summers here are too blazing hot to be outside....will have to check the tour schedule....

@Love my grandkids I remember the first time I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show, I thought they were kidding. The guys and their music just did not appeal to me and they didn't gain any points because of their looks either. I wouldn't even date a guy back then who was into the Stones, as you can imagine my husband thinks the Stones are the biggest fraud ever. Again, anyone who enjoys them, more power to you, but they were never my cup of tea.LOL

I think those who like the Rolling Stones like Rhythym and Blues, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.

It's the Blues that links all of these guys, to my mind. If you don't like that sound, the Stones are not for you.

I'm on the fence about purchasing tickets, I've seen them before but $1500 for a pair makes me wince, lol.
