The excitement rises – only 3 days left!

Support bands

It’s a wonder to experience this again after all these years!

We lucky fans are looking forward to another US tour of The Rolling Stones, and again we will follow each and every show of the band with all the help the net and we ourselfs can provide.

For me, I don’t have tickets for any of the shows – I’ll stay in good ol’ Europe but will never miss a show, even if I have to stay up late or get up at 2 or 3 AM in order to catch the lates news, pics and streams on the net as the band plays the show.

So in case you have tickets for one or more of the upcoming gigs and have to share something with us (pics, reports, streams!) – don’t hesitate and tell us about it – write some comment, or send some mail. In case you plan to send some stream from show – please tell me 2, 3 days before the show about it!

Ok, back to the news: finally, we have a list of all the support bands / opening acts of the all 19 shows, except for the May 02 gig at the Nola Jazz Fest:

Then, we hear that since yesterday at least, the band rehearses on the NRG Stadium stage. Of course – all the technics of lights and sound need to be thoroughly put to the test. That includes fixed dramaturgy of many of the songs – the Stones are known for state-of-the-art productions, after all.

Long time Stones fan atsu-y Hot Stuff is already at the right place to be!

Lucky fans we are, thanks to Sergio Balasso, who posted pictures on Facebook!

In Shidoobee’s Facebook group, he wrote: “Working the 2 night of the Rolling Stone move in. The first night was working in Catering and being fed by thier own staff the food was delicious. seeing the stage being set up and the view from behind the stage. 2 night was working in catering and now setting in my car watching the 17 of 18 wheelers and making sure nobody is bothering the trucks.

So here we have pictures from the catering backstage, the stage being built and the 17 trucks for the equipement – aesome!

Oh, Ronnie busts in!

5 days of rehearsals

Gary Clark Jr. opens the show in Houston

We are very lucky to have details of the rehearsals of last week, April 15 to 19!

Thanks to Dan [iorr], we now have the details of last weeks rehearsals. These reports show how the band has gone through a lot of songs and slowly melts them down what could be near a possible setlist for the upcoming shows. So if you want to be surprised at the shows, maybe, because these infos might come as possible spoilers, you should skip reading further.

For the rest of us, it’s exciting to see how the rehearsals progress and how engaged the band is. Everybody must be in high spirits and – most of all – at sound health to create these lists of rehearsed songs. This band is a sheer wonder to me. But ’nuff said, here are the details from this weeks rehearsals and a sighting of Paul Mc Cartney leaving the premises:

Off Stones: RIP Dickey!

Dickey Betts + Duane Allman

Sad, sad news – Dickey Betts dies at 80

I, as a Stones fan, was hit by the music of the Allman Brothers Band in the early 70ies. Their times and their music will be forever carved into my heart. Maybe, many of us Stones fans out here have similar feelings about the ABB. Then again, our very Chuck Leavell had played and toured as a member of the ABB with them from 1973 on (after Duane had died at the end of October 1971) and we all know that he is a member of The Rolling Stones as principle keyboardist and music director since 1982.

So here, in honor of Dickey, some short lines from an interview by Chuck about Dickey and a vide of the ABB playing ‘Blue Sky’ in 1992.

gpb.org: “Chuck Leavell on death of Allman Brothers bandmate Dickey Betts: ‘He left an enduring legacy’

Well, I can tell you that, when I first joined the band—and this would have been, when we were touring in 1973—we played Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Dickey had been married to a Native American woman named Sandy Blue Sky, who he wrote the song “Blue Sky“ for. And Dickey called me up and he said, “Chuck, we got a couple of days off. Would you and Rose Lane (my wife Rose Lane), like to go to a reservation and meet some of these Native Americans, meet some of the chiefs, and attend some ceremonies? And that was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had. It was so sweet of him to reach out to myself and to Rose Lane and to include us in that little trip that we made. And it’s something that I will never, ever forget and be grateful for.
