That's not bad at all. It's good to see that they were able to net a Gold release. I know they're the Rolling Stones, so Platinum should be easy, but in this fickle music industry to see a group that has stood the test of time able to still make some noise with a CD and in the touring industry is impressive.

Aug 15, 1:09 PM EDT The Stones Cancel 2nd Concert in Spain MADRID, Spain (AP) -- The Rolling Stones have canceled a second concert in Spain while Mick Jagger recovers from a sore throat.
Another date is being sought for the show, which had been scheduled Wednesday in the southern city of El Ejido, said Jose Hurtado, a spokesman for concert promoter Music Frog, on Tuesday.
Jagger developed laryngitis over the weekend and has been ordered by his doctor to rest his voice, the British rockers said in a statement on their Web site.
His illness forced the cancellation of a show Monday in the northern city of Valladolid. "I am very sorry to be canceling this show as well," Jagger said in a statement. "But unfortunately I have no other choice and I apologize to everyone who bought tickets for El Ejido."
The rest of the Stones' "A Bigger Bang" tour will continue as scheduled with two shows at London's Twickenham Stadium on Aug. 20 and Aug. 22, followed by Glasgow, Sheffield and Cardiff, and then on to Norway and Denmark in September, Music Frog said.
Performances in Barcelona and Madrid were scrapped in May after guitarist Keith Richards suffered a head injury when he fell out of a tree while vacationing in Fiji. His injury forced the Stones to postpone the start of the European leg of their tour.
Last week, Jagger, 63, said during an interview with a British radio station that he has hired a voice coach for the first time to help him preserve his voice.

Well the show scheduled at Churchill Downs next month had tickets go on sale today. It's already sold out. No surprise there other than finding that many people who still do rock when the radio stations seem to think people want all rap, hip hop, oldies, and country. Guess maybe they should pay attention to the concerts. Course I'm sure there are tons of out-of-towners buying as well. Some tickets went for as much as a $1000 according to the news.

Stones tix going for a song in Montana Posted 9/28/2006 8:05 PM ET
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — You can't always get what you want when the Rolling Stones are set to play a small Montana city and you're trying to unload your concert tickets.
The Stones performance set for Wednesday in Missoula was a sellout right after tickets went on sale in August. Less than a week before the show, though, the ticket tale is a sad one. People looking to resell theirs, even at less than face value, are struggling for buyers.
"I hope I don't eat them all," Andy Mefford said of the four tickets he's trying to unload after spending around $1,000 for the lot.
Forty-six classified advertisements to sell Stones tickets appeared in the Missoulian newspaper Thursday, and tickets were for sale on eBay, where one of the sellers tried what amounts to a poignant appeal in Montana. "Need money for hunting rifle," read the posting for row 35, seats 9 and 10 at the University of Montana football stadium in Missoula, a city of some 60,000 residents.
About 21,000 of the stadium's seats were designated for the concert, with ticket prices and related fees ranging from $77 to $377, and on-stage tickets priced higher.
Monte Jenkins, an aspiring actor being laid off as an airline baggage handler in Missoula, said he paid $2,100 for 10 tickets that he expected to resell profitably. Jenkins' introduction to the so-called secondary market has been jarring. He said he sold seven of the tickets, two at a profit and the others at break-even or losing prices.
"I'll get whatever I can out of them," Jenkins said of the remaining tickets. He expects to end up $500 to $800 in the red. Using a ticket himself isn't much of an option, he said, because he doesn't like the Rolling Stones.
Longtime fan Sharon Hawke of Polson, about 70 miles from Missoula, has attended Stones concerts in Seattle, Phoenix and elsewhere, and plans to be in a party of four at the show. Hawke has advertised one unneeded ticket, bought for $353, and had no takers Thursday morning.
"Most people, because it's during a work week, can't go," said Hawke. "Other people have no interest in seeing them. They said if it was Toby Keith, they'd do it."
It may be there is a surplus of tickets for resale because true Stones fans bought theirs immediately, and the market has been satisfied without resale, said Gary Bongiovanni of Pollstar in Fresno, Calif. The company publishes news tailored to the music industry and maintains a concert database.
Stones tickets typically are in demand wherever the group performs, said Fran Curtis of Rogers & Cowan, an entertainment public relations firm that speaks for the Stones concert tour. On Wednesday, people still were searching for last-minute tickets to the Stones concert that night at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Curtis said.
Stones tickets were also selling for a premium in Kentucky nearby Churchill Downs, the site of the Kentucky Derby, where the group is playing Friday. Tickets with a face value of $300 sold on eBay this week for hundreds of dollars more.

Sep 30, 12:24 AM EDT Rolling Stones Rock Kentucky Derby Site
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- The Rolling Stones rocked in the shadow of the twin spires at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, in a pairing Friday night of two entertainment icons.
Fans came from hundreds of miles away to see the aging rockers, who returned to Louisville for the first time since 1989. It is the first major concert at the venue.
"This is a pivotal band in rock history," said Dan Raymer, who drove from Nashville, Tenn. "You've got two iconic things together here."
The Stones came out rocking with "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll" as fans danced in a light but steady rain. "Hello, Louisville!" Jagger, wearing a trench coat and fedora adorned with glitter, shouted to the crowd. "Sorry about the weather."
Jagger pointed to a row of well-groomed evergreens lining the turf track in front of him, noting the historic venue. The massive stage was adjacent to the winner's circle.
"This is the first time anyone has played in this particular gig," he said. "We've got the sacred hedge in front of us."
The group pandered to the Kentucky crowd by playing "Dead Flowers," which mentions the Derby.
"I've been all over the world to see these guys," said Dennis Parrish of Lexington, who has attended concerts in England and Switzerland. "This time I didn't have to travel that far."
As fans partied outside the track before the concert, the scene looked like a typical race day, except for dozens of cars playing familiar hits from the Stones.
Longtime fans Roy and Pam Harvey of Cincinnati brought their 18-year-old son William for his first show.
"I've got all of their albums," William Harvey said. His mother said she felt it was important that her son see the band before its members packed it in.
"We would've paid $500 for a ticket," she said.
About 50,000 tickets went on sale for the show with prices topping $300.
Many fans felt it might be their last chance to see the band, which has been touring since the early 1960s. Mick Jagger, the lead singer, is 63, and Keith Richards is 62.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime show," said Brad Willis, 21, a University of Louisville student. Willis said he thinks it might be the last time the band tours.
But Roy Harvey, who was sipping a beer and listening to "Brown Sugar," said he believes the Stones will play until they can't do it anymore.
"I think we'll see Jagger out there until he croaks," he said.
Jagger pleased the crowd, strutting across the massive stage as Richards played the riffs to "Let's Spend the Night Together."
The band is playing at several historic venues on its "A Bigger Bang" tour, including Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Soldier Field in Chicago and Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The tour opened over a year ago at Fenway Park in Boston.
Churchill Downs officials stunned fans with the announcement last month that the Stones were coming to Louisville. It's the first major rock concert for the track, which has played host to 132 derbies.
A recent $121 million renovation of the stands at Churchill Downs made the concert possible, said John Asher, a spokesman at the track.
Many of the horse owners who stable thoroughbreds at the track had workers monitoring the horses during the concert, said Churchill spokesman Julie Koenig Loignon. She said the track asked the concert production staff not to use any pyrotechnics that make loud noises.

Rolling Stones reschedule N.J. concert Posted 10/30/2006 1:19 PM ET
ATLANTIC CITY (AP) — A Rolling Stones concert at Boardwalk Hall that was canceled due to Mick Jagger's sore throat has been rescheduled for Nov. 17. Jagger was ordered to rest after developing the throat ailment, said a statement posted on Boardwalk Hall's website.
The 63-year-old rocker had a bout of laryngitis in August that forced the Stones to reschedule or cancel several dates on their European tour.
Philadelphia-based concert promoter Electric Factory Concerts announced the show would not go on Friday night hours before the doors were to open at the Atlantic City venue. All tickets for the postponed concert were expected to be honored at the rescheduled show.
The Stones were scheduled to play Tuesday at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.

Nov 24, 2:21 PM EST Neither Jagger Nor Clothes Miss a Beat
NEW YORK (AP) -- Like his voice, Mick Jagger's wardrobe is still rocking after all these years. His sexagenarian frame has not missed a beat when it comes to fashion. Whether it's tight shirts or jeans, Jagger never fails to impress audiences with his style.
"It doesn't matter if you're starting out or you're doing it for years," Jagger told The New York Times. "There's no point in having a huge dress-up if you're playing a 500-seat club. And if you're playing for 50,000 people, there's no point in wearing rags."
Over the decades, Jagger has donned jeans and jackets by the Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquiere and T-shirts by the Dior designer Hedi Slimane.
But that was not always the case, said Jagger, 63. Like many bands just starting out, clothes were a luxury he and his mates couldn't afford.
"We wore clothes very similar to what we wore offstage because we didn't have any money and that was the look," Jagger said.

Wow :o billboardStones Roll By U2 For Top Grossing Tour EverNovember 24, 2006, 12:50 PM ET Ray Waddell, Nashville Though they'll surely live to fight another day, U2's brief stint holding the title of top-grossing tour ever is over. That distinction now returns to the Rolling Stones, whose A Bigger Bang tour is now the top-grossing tour in history. From March 28, 2005, to March 2, 2006, U2's Vertigo tour rang up grosses of more than $333 million. That put U2 ahead of the Stones' $320 million Voodoo Lounge tour of 1994-95, and the band's 10 stadium makeup shows this month will take the total to 121 shows and a gross of about $377 million. But the Stones' numbers from their global A Bigger Bang tour shatter that mark. Since the fall of 2005, the band has grossed a staggering $437 million and drawn 3.5 million people to 110 shows. In addition, an estimated crowd of 2 million saw the band perform at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro back in February. The tour, like every Stones trek since 1989, is produced by Michael Cohl under the Concert Productions International banner, with Live Nation. Though no one's commenting officially, talk is that the Stones will stretch the tour into 2007, meaning a final mark of more than $500 million is easily in range.

Apr 20, 11:32 AM EDT Stones' Gig at Racetrack Stays on Course
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) -- The Rolling Stones will rock Belgrade this summer even if their performance at the city's main racetrack distresses hundreds of horses stabled at the venue, concert organizers said Friday.
"Preparations for the July 14 concert are going smoothly, there are no problems," Dejan Maksimovic, a director of Music Star Productions, told The Associated Press, shrugging off concerns from an animal rights organization.
Officials of the Hippodrome racecourse acknowledged that some of the finest - and skittish - gallopers among the few hundred horses may be given tranquilizers when the Stones unleash their stadium-rocking decibels.
"But we've done that before, this is not the first rock concert at the Hippodrome," said Natasa Pavlovic of the state-run racecourse, adding that an arrangement with concert organizers is nearly finalized. She didn't disclose financial details.
The Organization for Respect and Care for Animals (ORCA) has called for a change of venue, warning of the "inevitable stress that the animals would suffer" from the noise, or from diazepam, which has been used to sedate the animals during previous concerts.
More than 80,000 tickets are being sold for the performance as Serbs hope to finally see the legendary rockers after at least two previous attempts to bring them here failed.
In 2003, a nearly arranged concert in Belgrade was canceled after Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic was assassinated. Plans were scrapped last year after Keith Richards suffered a head injury in a fall from a tree.
"It's a really big thing for us," said Dimitrije Stevanovic, 58. "I know I'll get all tearful when (Mick) Jagger shows up onstage and says, `Good evening, Belgrade.'"

May 9, 11:16 AM EDT Stones Concert in Belgrade Relocated
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) -- A planned Rolling Stones concert in Belgrade will not take place at the city's racetrack to avoid upsetting hundreds of horses stabled nearby.
The July 14 concert will now take place in a vast public park in the Serbian capital, Raka Maric of Music Star Productions said Wednesday.
The decision was made after animal-rights activists protested that the noisy concert would distress the horses.
Officials of the Hippodrome racecourse said last month that some of the finest - and skittish - gallopers among the few hundred horses might be given tranquilizers when the Stones unleashed their stadium-rocking decibels.

Jun 6, 7:43 AM EDT Stones Fans Stuck in 30-Mile Traffic Jam
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- The kickoff of the Rolling Stones' European tour opened to rave reviews, a big crowd and a massive traffic jam.
Some 33,000 fans showed up for the show in the town of Werchter, but when Mick Jagger started off with "Start Me Up," some fans were still shuffling for position on the grounds after being stuck for hours in a 30-mile traffic jam caused by the concert and made worse by a nearby accident.
"Stones roll over Werchter," headlined De Standaard. "Stones triumph in Werchter," added De Morgen.
The "A Bigger Bang" tour will feature 30 shows across Europe, including performances in Belgrade, Serbia, and in St. Petersburg, Russia, which the band has never visited.
In addition to making stops in Eastern Europe, the band will play in Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and Scandinavia.
The Stones' previous tour became the highest-grossing one in concert history in November 2006, netting the band over US$100 million last year and putting them at the top of Forbes's annual list of music's biggest earners.

Jun 21, 7:02 PM EDT Jagger Apologizes _ in Catalan Language
MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Mick Jagger used the Catalan language to apologize to fans for last year's cancellation of several shows in Barcelona and three other Spanish cities.
In a TV broadcast Thursday as the Rolling Stones prepared a new tour of Spain, Jagger told fans, "We are very sorry we canceled our concert last year, but now we are ready." The apology lasted a few seconds and was prolonged by laughter and clowning from drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Keith Richards.
Canal 3, the television station that broadcast the apology, described Jagger's Catalan diction as "better than average."
The language is indigenous to the semiautonomous Catalonia region in northeastern Spain.
The apology preceded a concert Thursday night at Barcelona's Olympic Stadium as part of the Stones "A Bigger Bang Tour."
The canceled dates last year were due to Jagger coming down with a case of laryngitis.
Ticket prices for the Barcelona show range from $87 to $249. Organizers said that, as of Wednesday, 8,000 tickets remained unsold.
After Barcelona, the Rolling Stones will play in San Sebastian, Madrid and El Ejido in southeast Spain.

Aug 22, 12:56 PM EDT Concert Venue Rapped Over Smoking Stones
LONDON (AP) -- The Rolling Stones are keeping the flame of rock rebellion burning.
A London concert venue was given a warning Wednesday after members of the band were pictured smoking onstage during the first British date on their Bigger Bang tour.
Newspaper photographs showed Keith Richards and Ron Wood holding lit cigarettes during the show Tuesday at the O2 Arena.
Smoking is banned in enclosed public places in England under legislation that came into effect July 1. Companies that allow the ban to be breached can be fined up to $5,000.
Greenwich Council, the local authority for the southeast London area where the arena is located, said no one had complained about the onstage smoking, but the venue had been warned not to let it happen again.

Aug 29, 8:05 AM EDT Keith Richards Fumes at Poor Reviews
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has demanded an apology from Swedish newspapers for their scathing reviews of the group's performance in the country earlier this month.
Tabloids Expressen and Aftonbladet gave thumbs down to the Aug. 3 concert at Ullevi stadium in Goteborg, with Expressen suggesting Richards was "superdrunk" on stage.
"This is a first!" the 63-year-old rock star wrote in a letter published by Stockholm daily Dagens Nyheter. "Never before have I risen to the bait of a bad review.
"But this time ... I have to stand up ... for our fans all over Sweden ... to say that you owe them, and us, an apology."
Dagens Nyheter said it received the letter from concert organizer EMA Telstar. Company head Thomas Johansson told The Associated Press that Richards wrote the letter and gave it to him after reading translations of the Swedish reviews.
"There were 56,000 people in Ullevi stadium who bought a ticket to our concert - and experienced a completely different show than the one you 'reviewed,'" the letter said.
"How dare you cheapen the experience for them - and for the hundreds of thousands of other people across Sweden who weren't at Ullevi and have only your 'review' to go on.
"Write the truth. It was a good show."
In his review, Aftonbladet's music writer Markus Larsson gave the concert a score of two on a five-point scale, and said Richards appeared "a bit confused."
"I am not going to apologize for my subjective opinion," Larsson told the paper's Web edition on Wednesday. "It is Keith who should apologize. After all it costs around $145 to see a rock star who can hardly handle the (guitar) riff to 'Brown Sugar' any more."

:o www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i82e1b9f374a8911a02bfd687e8b20dc9Rolling Stones tour grosses $558 milBy Ray Waddell, Billboard Oct 4, 2007 NASHVILLE -- The final tally on the Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang tour is in and it topped a half billion -- $558,255,524 to be exact. The staggering total was accumulated between the fall of 2005 and Aug. 26, when the tour wrapped at the O2 in London after a run of European makeup dates. The box office gross figure, which was provided to Billboard by longtime Stones tour producer Michael Cohl, is plenty enough to make A Bigger Bang the top grossing tour in history. In fact, the tour already owned that honor after passing U2's Vertigo, which topped out at $389 million. The previous mark had been the Stones' $320 million Voodoo Lounge tour of 1994-95. The 144 shows on A Bigger Bang drew a paid attendance of 4,680,000, according to Cohl. The tour was certainly not without its challenges, including the now infamous fall from a tree in Fiji by guitarist Keith Richards in April 2006. "It was a long tour, but more than anything it was fantastic," Cohl tells Billboard. "We had to overcome a lot; this was like Homer's Odyssey. There were all sorts of difficulties to overcome and it turned out to be just one amazing triumph." Live Nation recently purchased the remaining interest in Cohl's CPI, including CPI's merchandising and marketing arms, and Cohl still sits on the Live Nation board.

Oct 28, 1:14 AM EDT Rolling Stones' Richards Joins March
LONDON (AP) -- Keith Richards joined about 15,000 people marching in southern England on Saturday against possible cuts in services at a hospital near his country home.
The 62-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist issued a statement saying St. Richard's Hospital - in the town of Chichester, south of London - is a "vital local amenity" for residents, visitors and vacationers.
The protesters believe they may lose an emergency department and maternity services at St. Richard's in the proposed reorganization of three hospitals in West Sussex county.
The rocker has owned Redlands, a country home in West Wittering, near Chichester, since the 1960s, although his main residence is in Connecticut.
On Saturday, he turned up at the Chichester demonstration in a minibus and dressed in a long black leather coat, a trilby hat and sunglasses.

Jan 17, 2:16 PM EST Rolling Stones Sign Deal With Universal
LONDON (AP) -- The Rolling Stones announced Thursday they have signed a deal to release the soundtrack to their Martin Scorsese-directed concert film through Universal Music Group.
The move does not bode well for EMI Group, the label that has been the Stones' home for 16 years, raising the possibility that the band might follow Radiohead and Paul McCartney and leave the embattled record company.
"The band are looking forward to working with Universal Music and are excited about this new venture," the Rolling Stones said in a statement.
In a one-album deal, Universal Music's labels around the world will release the "Shine a Light" soundtrack in March. The album will be released in Britain by Polydor Records.
"We are really proud to be working with the Rolling Stones, and so is everybody in Universal Music globally," Universal Music Group International chairman and chief executive Lucian Grainge said.
Universal Music Group is a subsidiary of the French telecommunications giant Vivendi SA.
EMI said its relationship with the Stones was unaffected by the announcement, said spokesman Andrew Dowler.
"It's good spin: Universal are suggesting this is a broader thing, but it's about one film, one soundtrack and had nothing to do with their relationship with the label," he said. "They're an EMI band."
EMI has lost McCartney and Radiohead, two of its biggest acts, in the past year, while others - including Coldplay - have expressed unhappiness with the label.
EMI was bought by Terra Firma Capital Partners last year, and on Tuesday, the private equity firm announced plans to cut as many as 2,000 jobs, about a third of the company's work force, in a restructuring plan aimed at reassuring its restless artists, countering plummeting CD revenue and saving $400 million a year.
"Shine a Light" was filmed during a Rolling Stones performance at New York's Beacon Theatre in autumn 2006. It includes appearances by Buddy Guy, the White Stripes' Jack White and Christina Aguilera, along with rarely seen archival footage of the band.
The film, which is distributed by Paramount in the U.S. and 20th Century Fox in Britain, will open the Berlin International Film Festival on Feb. 7. It is expected to be released in theaters in April.
