Tour Figures and Music History

july 26 1943 - Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger is born in Kent, England. The group, which takes its name from a Muddy Waters song, is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. The group does not receive a Grammy Award until 1986 when it is presented a Lifetime Achievement Grammy.

Touring is a global business, and figures reported to Billboard for mid-May, include the Rolling Stones' Bigger Bang tour at $147.3 million in grosses (from 45 shows in U.S. arenas and international stadiums). The Rolling Stones will return to North American for another leg to launch on Sept. 20 at Boston's Gillette Stadium, and dates will be sponsored by RadioShack. With nearly $150 million in grosses and 1.1 million in attendance, the Rolling Stones are predicted to be the top touring band in the world for 2006, and this the top-grossing trek in history.

i really did. dye it pink. and i spent almost all my money at the bar, and then haggled with shannon lyon for a cd from what i had left in my pocket. it's pretty good. i'm about to write a review and send it into the echo. and i think he might be coming back next week. i'm gonna check his website.
"superb!" "magnifique!" isn't the dual language sticker clever quoting altcountrytab.com with five big stars?

i like a performer who can and does respond positively to audience input and requests. yet, i also begrudge the reward of a repeat song, guitar stings, that was played earlier in the set -- get to the show on time next time would have been a good lesson for latecomers, in my opinon!

i was sitting beside a kooky long haired guy who was recording it, and who i actually gave my address to so he can mail me a copy of the show and i really would like a copy and he was making such a kind offer... i did a lot of heckling. did you hear a loud mouthed introvert commenting alot?

i’m glad you came out. and i'm sorry i did not clue in. were you in shorts and sandals?i thought it was a pretty good night out. it felt like going out to the maple lounge, but safer and easier and friendlier...

i should take the loud mouth heckler habits and SING instead? i want to, i really do...

after i emptied my pockets out finally buying a cd yesterday, i gave my real surface mail address to a stranger who says he'll send me a copy of the show. but not to worry because the mics were facing forward...
