As they launch their 40th anniversary U.S. tour — beginning Tuesday in Boston — the Stones are out to prove that age is no obstacle. So what if newly- knighted Mick Jagger is 59, and the two other original Stones, Keith Richards and drummer Charlie Watts, are 58 and 61, respectively? The 25-city, 40-show "Licks" tour is the first major one since 1975 not built around the launch of a new studio album. (In October, the band will release the 2-CD "Forty Licks," a compilation of favorite tunes from the four decades that will also include four new songs.) It will stop in large outdoor stadiums, medium sized indoor arenas, and smaller, intimate the aters. For each venue, the band promises not only a different kind of stage show, but a wider selec tion of music. Tour director Michael Cohl says the Stones have rehearsed about 130 songs. Moreover, says Cohl, they have reached into their archives for material that has rarely, if ever, been played live. Depending on the venue, ticket-holders could be treated to either a dose of classic hits like "Satisfaction," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Start Me Up," or to less familiar blend of "thematic" mate rial ranging from rhythm and blues to soul. Boston is the test ground for this concept. At the 19,000-seat FleetCenter, Cohl says the setlist will be "'peppered with greatest hits," but as much as 50 percent of the show could be what he calls "diamonds in the rough." On Thursday, the Stones move to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, the new 68,000-seat home of the New England Patriots, where Cohl promis es eye-popping special effects on the band's most elaborate stage ever. For this and other stadium shows, he says the song selection will include "one or two new ones, two or three diamonds in the rough, and 19 or 20 that appeal to the mass es." Sunday's show will be on a stripped-down stage at Boston's 2,800-seat Orpheum Theater, where Cohl says the setlist could include just about any thing the Stones feel like playing. Tickets at some venues are selling for up to $350. Historically, the Stones outgross all other acts on the years they tour, and the $121.2 million they earned in 1994 remains a music industry record. Bon jovi headlines free concert NEW YORK (AP) — The members of Bon Jovi say their upcoming performance in Times Square will not only kick off the football season but celebrate New Yorkers' resilience after Sept. 11. The NFL approached the group about headlin ing Thursday's free concert, which is being pro moted as a massive tailgate party. After the per formance the band will take a helicopter to Giants Stadium to perform at halftime during the game between the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers. The group's latest album, "Bounce," was inspired in part by the Sept. 11 attacks. Middletown, N.J., a community 45 miles south of Manhattan where singer Jon Bon Jovi lives, lost 32 people in the attacks. The singer said he saw the smoke rising from the World Trade Center from a beach near his home.
