The Rolling Stones have announced the first dates of their 2013 ’50
and Counting’ North American tour, which will visit nine cities in May
and June. Former guitarist Mick Taylor will be a “special guest
throughout the tour,” to use the band’s own words.

The trek will hit arenas in Los Angeles, Oakland, San Jose, Las Vegas,
Anaheim, Toronto, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. According to
Billboard, the band has given their promoter 18 dates to work with,
making it likely that additional dates will be added in some or all of
these cities.

Frontman Mick Jagger issued a statement that gives fans an idea of
what to expect from the group’s stage show. “’50 and Counting’ has
been pretty amazing so far. We did a few shows in London and New York
last year…and had such a good time that we thought…let’s do some more.
It’s a good show. Lots of the classic stuff everyone wants to hear…
with a few little gems tucked in here and there. The stage is shaped
like lips and goes off into the venue so I get to run around in the
crowd. It’s great fun to be able to get that close to the audience.”

We can’t tell you the opening date of the tour, exactly, because it
depends on when the Staples Center won’t be occupied by an NHL playoff
game. Tickets for Oakland, San Jose, Toronto and Chicago go on sale
beginning Monday, April 8 at 10AM local time and will be available at
www.rollingstones.com.

The Stones also announced that they will perform at London’s Hyde Park
on Saturday, July 6. Last week they announced they would headline the
June Glastonbury festival.

I hope MT is able to perform more than one song with the band on this
tour. Being selfish, I'd love to hear Can't You Hear Me Knockin',
Gimme Shelter & Time Waits For No One with Micks brilliant playing. He
sounded good during the mini-tour with the band on the first
shows...and I think he moved more on stage during those shows than he
did during his entire 5 year term as a member of the band. Looking
forward to the shows...

I'm sure Mick Taylor is so excited.

The Stones were at its best with Mick Taylor! He was the true genius at the time with them.
