Mick is in the midst of preparing for a series of Superheavy tour dates and reported that the band had been talking about a reunion but that they hadn't finalized a decision yet. That alone sent the music industry into overdrive preparing for what must be an irresistible pull for Mick, Keith and the boys to saddle up at least one more time...</p> http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/node/4#comment Wed, 21 Sep 2011 17:00:20 -0400 admin 4 at http://www.therollingstonestickets.org http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/node/3 <form action="/node/3" method="post" id="poll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>What former Stones player recently turned 70?: </label> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="0" class="form-radio" /> Mick Jagger</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="1" class="form-radio" /> Keith Richards</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="2" class="form-radio" /> Bill Wyman</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="3" class="form-radio" /> Charlie Watts</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="4" class="form-radio" /> Ian Stewart</label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="3" /> <input type="submit" name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-poll-view-voting" value="poll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/node/3#comment Wed, 25 Oct 2006 14:40:51 -0400 admin 3 at http://www.therollingstonestickets.org http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/blog <p>There are many bands that rely on touring for their main source of support. The Grateful Dead may have started the trend on which many jam bands have been able to capitalize. Just like the Dead, with a low (or non-existent) number of top 10 hits and not-so-hot record sales, bands such as Bela Fleck, Phish and String Cheese Incident have been able to stay afloat by staying on the tour bus. Especially in today’s climate of music sharing and falling CD sales due to CD burners and free downloads. </p> <p>Quantity can be an easy answer for income. Touring can bring major money, but for Celine Dion, in 2005, staying in one Las Vegas spot won her the No. 3 spot, commanding more per ticket than the Stones at $136 a pop. So being big enough to bring the fans to you can work too. But, if she staged her show in the middle of Iowa, it’s doubtful whether as many fans would come.</p> <p><a href="http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/blog">read more</a></p> http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/blog#comment Wed, 25 Oct 2006 14:36:35 -0400 admin 2 at http://www.therollingstonestickets.org http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/home <p>The Rolling Stones led Pollstar’s report for the first half of 2006 to become the top-grossing tour. How veteran rockers like the Stones can still command such a successful go-round is something newer bands should study … hard, and a band who has taken their Rolling Stones influence very serious is Kings of Leon.</p> <p>Happy hunting rock aficionados!</p> http://www.therollingstonestickets.org/home#comment Wed, 25 Oct 2006 14:25:30 -0400 admin 1 at http://www.therollingstonestickets.org
