Winston Legthigh Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I saw a large Tongue and Lip logo in Chicago this morning on the sidewalk, on the corner of Madison and Wacker - where the Opera House is. Was wondering what it was placed there for... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Their announcements of tours has always been a hoot - going back to 75 and the flat bed truck going down Fifth Avenue. Guessing they will play Soldier Field this time around - since they have been doing a lot of advertising via the NFL. (Would be great if they do a gig at the Opera House, though) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I've seen The Stones (my very first favorite group as a kiddo) 3 times - Fall '81 (Louisville) December '89 (Indy, my 27th birthday party!) and 7/4/15 at the Indy 500 Speedway. That July 4 show was a total exercise in hedonism - I've never seen a drunker crowd and EVERYONE was smoking pot like it was the last day they'd ever be alive haha. So I'm good if I never see them again. But I hope they play forever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Will be at the Chicago shows for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wonder what prices will be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 77 year olds need a long time between gigs to recover! 4-5 days between each gig even in same city. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Wonder what prices will be word is $50-500, with deluxe packages Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 word is $50-500, with deluxe packagesOk hopefully I can snag one sub $100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I am kinda glad they are playing Soldier Field - the sound at stadium shows has came a long way. I have seen U2 and the the three Fare The Well shows and was impressed how well all the shows sounded. The last time I saw a stadium show was in 97, when I saw the Stones - i was disappointed in the sound and swore off stadium shows. It's kinda cool that (as of now at least) they will be wrapping up the tour in Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I think $100 would be my ceiling. I'm a bit worried. I hinted at McCartney in Milwaukee for a Xmas gift from the wife, but won't know until after tix go on sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The last time I saw a stadium show was in 97, when I saw the Stones - i was disappointed in the sound and swore off stadium shows. The sound has no doubt come a long way, but it is really a long distance from the top/back seats to the band which I find hard to break through and connect with the performance.

Chez Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 ^^^ Completely agree. I don't do stadium shows for that very reason. United Center is the largest venue I'll go to and then only if it's a bucket-list band I've never seen previously (e.g. Radiohead). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 If the sound is great, i can handle a band being faraway - as long the price of the ticket doesn't break the bank. Not to mention I am a sucker for the Chicago skyline. I did see the Stones at the UC a couple of times - once I was up in the farthest upper level and didn't enjoy it at all. It was just an echo chamber. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Just threw on the L Olympia, Paris, July 3rd 1995 show from the Stripped blu-ray box -- it really is a great show. I think I picked this set up while some site had a great sale going on - glad I did. Still crazy to me that Wyman walked away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 When did Ticketmaster start this "you are now in the waiting room" stuff? I happen to get on the site around 9:45 or so to check out the prices of the tickets and 'got in line' - at 10 am a screen came up an there' 2000+ in line. I just remember hitting refresh a bunch of times until I got tired of it... 7 minutes later there are still 2000+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Supposed to be a "random selection" for place in line. I have 2 screens open, too (which probably everyone else does as well, thus the problem). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
