Yes, the ticket prices and fan club prices are outrageous. But check out this newsletter I got today. I am not a member, but will have free temporary membership for buying a ticket and will be able to participate in this. (I think we all know a certain group of people who need to follow this lead!

Also, out of the hundreds of songs they could have mentioned, check out what one of them is...)

Fan Club Members,

The tour kicks off in just over a month's time and the band is already well into rehearsals so now it's time for you to get in on the act.

The Rolling Stones are currently batting around ideas for potential lists for the new tour and they want input from the fans.

Been dying to hear 'Jigsaw Puzzle'? Waiting patiently for 'I Am Waiting'? Want to ensure that 'Wild Horses' stays put? The Stones want to know!
Send us your dream set list (in the order you want the songs played) and who knows - maybe you'll hear your set list in concert this tour!

Cheers,

is that the Stones are having Pearl Jam open a few East Coast dates, And now there's rumors going' around of Motley Crue (!!!) may also open some of the West Coast dates...Remains to be seen with the Crue, But that would be an interesting show none-the-less.

I like the idea of letting fans have their say in regards to the setlist, I also know of a band (And solo artists) who should follow suit and listen to their damned fans!!!

This is such a great idea.

AliceLover · #7 07-28-2005, 12:27 PM

That is an awesome idea! I just heard their new song on the radio the other day and I really enjoyed it!

My friend is seeing them in Chicago and Florida in the fall. He said the title of the album is The Bigger Bang. I think it's cool they care about the fans and that they will tour until they can't. People want them still and they still give back, very cool.

jadegypsy · #9 07-28-2005, 02:49 PM

Well I'm seeing them in Nov. in SF and i already replied to this, the only slightly different songs I put in where: Out of Tears, Play with Fire, Ruby Tuesday (I will be estatic if they play this) and Paint it Black. I forgot to add Waiting on a Friend though and i love that song, oh well I'm sure I'll be happy no matter what the set list is.

Too bad Mac and Stevie don't offer this type of interaction...

Beast of Burden

If you're a fan and you know where they're at, you should go down! If you had the chance to talk to them, as far as I know they're nice about it. I could see Charlie not wanting to be bothered so much, but I'm pretty sure Ron and Keith particularly would be receptive. I'm sure the security's very tight, but there's always that chance........

I'm so jealous!
