I'm originally for Saskatoon, the precedent actually wasn't Moncton, if thats what you mean, that being the first time the Stones had TTH open for them,they opened for them for a few gigs on their European leg of Voodoo Lounge. and ya its huge to have the Stones in Pile of Bones, and to have the Hip open for them, I'd have to flex the old credit card again. as for The Hip ignoring Regina, Stoon's prawly up a couple gigs:
Halloween gig in 91 i think it was-Stoon.
Stoon-FC tour,not sure if they did Regina,don't think so.
You guys got Craven 95, we'll call that Regina.
Stoon got Henhouse.Regina not.
Stoon ARA 97, Regina not.
Stoon PP, Regina PP
Stoon M@W,Regina not.
Regina IVLX2, Stoon not.(if it means anything they never did a 2 nite stand in Stoon as far as i know.
Stoon IBE,Regina not.
I know UTH/RA days they did Louis and the Bess in Stoon and musta did gigs at the U of R during that time too. so to sum this up:
Stoon 8, Regina 3., maybe there is some snubbery going on

Well...either 7-3 or 8-3, so Saskatoon definitely has us beat. They did play 2 or 3 gigs at the Venue (later known as Channel One/State/Distrikt...), and they played at the U of R around the same time as the Bessborough gig...of course I didn't become a diehard until a year later...

But let's look on the positive side...they did play some outdoor gigs this summer, and they in fact came a close as Chicago and Spokane (end sarcasm)...
