What does everybody think???? Do you think they will tour in 2013????? Yes, No, Don't know? :wtf3

I say yes. Probably a limited tour.

I,too, would like to see a limited tour with extended time in various locations affording the band ample rest and give it their all!!

This would cut overhead and though, I would not hold my breath, possible lower ticket prices.

I'm gonna vote whatever Gazza's voting,  :wtf3

Yes, multiple shows over a couple of weeks in selected cities NY, Chicago , LA, but, only one night  ::) in Omaha, NB.
Multiple shows in Vegas next fall at MGM or Caesar's to complete the North American leg.

YES they'll tour
NO i don't think i will be able to afford it

no

" Do you think they will tour in 2013?????  "


Frig Yeah the band is going to tour    ----- BEST STONES YET !!!!!


Plus , The Rolling Stones have not performed in Kansas City since 1999 so The Sprint Center is a LOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


" Hit Me Ronnie !!!!! "

O'kins ®

Yeah, a small tour, once they get into playing together & it works great, there's no stopping them.

Gazza says yes; Riffy says no.  I'm going with the Chief rather than the Dick Morris of Rocks Off.

Ya.... they will do shows but in the mini-tour concept.. if you will... probably in a few segments.  Mick liked the shows well enough as he said on his Twitter. However, he also said in another interview he wanted to get past the nostalgic concept as soon as he could. Well he actually kina said he just wanted to get the shows "over-with" when questioned about his reluctance to tread water on their 50th as it is a nostalgic concept.

I think he wants "fresh product" if he is going to do more shows.  There will not be another "full-scale" tour from them again.  Perhaps mini-sets of shows is how it'll happen. I'd say anywhere between 2-6 show spurts over a period of stints possibly a few times over is the way I see them touring from here on out.  The days of them going for months straight on the road are over.  I don't see them touring for anything over a month without a little break and even in that I only see it in spurts. It will be riding the line of taking it easy with adequate time off without taking too much rest time in getting rusty or out of forum to do it. I don't see them doing anything over 25 shows per excursion from here on out and over a period of say three or four months with a few break periods. Probably hitting 8-10 major cities with 2-3 shows each over a period of time, say three or four months with a few breathers would probably be the situation. It'll be different.


However Those boys gonna record an album again as well - That is what I want to get my ears on.

I quote Ya Ian, cause I too think so

Seeing is believing. I would've said 'yes'  easier a couple of weeks ago. But the recent shows gave me an extra reason to doubt. Every soundbite or clip made me think of The Last Waltz. I hope to catch a Stones show somewhere next year...but if not, that's okay.

I think they will tour major markets in limited shows. They cant ignore bit U.S. cities like Chicago or L.A. Japan would be a big money spinner. With the Aussie a long time worth more than the U.S. dollar, i think they would be nuts to not tour Oz. And N.Z. Asia, India. I cant see stadium shows. Just very, very expensive arena shows and YES i think they will say it's their last. Or, we are all very bloody naive to think there will another tour after this.

I still consider that past 5 shows to be a testing ground for demand and pricing. And unfortunately, it dont look no good for poor bastards like me.

And ya know what? I reckon M.T. will tag along too. Maybe graduate to 2 songs a night. And maybe he'll move more than Keith does!

someone who I trust as far as info goes told me last week that the tentaive plan is 20 dates in 7 US cities and Atlanta is on the schedule......we'll see as no doubt things are pretty fluid.....(in a non Joey way)

I think they'll be better than last year, but not good enough.

That seems to be the prevailing wisdom. I just hope that with that limited schedule. They don't try and keep ticket prices sky high. They may come down a bit from $800. But I have a nasty feeling not much. In which case,I don't care how good they are. I'm not paying more than $150 for a decent ticket. :willya

Corgi your presumption of their past five shows as a testing ground is spot-on. That is exactly what it was... brought to us on behalf of their 50th Anniversary is what it was.

If it went well... great...it can most likely be done again in stints. If it didn't point to the demand and such as they figured, oh well, they still had their 50th celebrations and we would not know the difference really and it would of been time to think of possibly scaling back ticket prices or sticking to single shows here and again.

However, The are STILL The Rolling Stones as it turned out and folks will pay up to see em., no prob. It was their 50th celebrations and at the same time it was a testing bed to see if they can roll into that concept safely in the future. Things all pointed to they certainly can take on that concept again. People will travel to see them.. the shows will sell out... and they can command some major ticket prices and let us not forget... they proved to themselves they could pull off the shows. Mick was not worried but it was Keith and possibly Charlie and Ronnie a tad that also had to show to themselves they can still all do it and deliver without fatigue or problems or whatever. I'm sure going in they obvious figured they would be able to do it (..no worries ..) but it is more a tangible item in the near future knowing they certainly did in the fashion they did.


Their 50th celebrations was indeed killing two birds with one stone... (no pun intended hehe):

1. Test = Passed ...and for the most part with flying colors physically and financially. Next like-venture is certainly possible.
2. 50th = Celebrated and done. Great stuff.
