Rolling Stones - top grossing tour of 2006
"The Stones, which began the tour in the fall of 2005, sold out arenas in America, stadiums all over the world and then stadiums in America before calling it a year in late November with a tally of about $437 million." [Billboard]

lot less hard to be the top grossing acts if your tickets are $400

Amazing that people are still lining up in masses to pay for a rolling stones concert. Even worse is that a good number of these rich folks are rich hipsters who think "the Stones still rock."

Well, they certainly are one of the top grossest bands around today...

I'm not really sure that says or means anything... kudos to those who willingly get raped and pay hundreds of dollars to hear "Start Me Up, "Satisfaction," etc etc etc for the millionth time. What fun!

Way to rob the word 'rape' of its real meaning, Brian.

Brain, you raped the word "rape".

The October 29 Rolling Stones show is where Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun suffered a fall and ultimately died. "Steel Wheelchairs" tour, anyone? "Hey, hey - you, you - get offa my lawn!"

Sorry I accused you of missing the boat, BV. Maybe you should've let us know he was in the hospital, though.
