theres been a lot of heated talk on the jazz boards about Andy Snitzer cancelling a September gig in Boca Raton to clear his schedule for a possible fall tour.

my sources will tell me when a certain proctologist in Boca Raton packs his bags to accompany a special patient the tour is on.............

From Tim Ries' most recent Blog entry:

TORONTO REHEARSALS
"The rehearsals here in Toronto are off to a fantastic start. Everyone is in a good mood and the band is sounding tight. I'm especially pleased with the new horn arrangements we've added to some Stones classics. I really think the fans are going to love the horns we've added to "When The Whip Comes Down". And the new horn intro on "Star Star" really makes it swing."

the mere rumor of him returning and adding his smooth trumpet flourishes to the Stones live show has die hard fans foaming at the mouth once again

Sorry I wasnt up to date on the horn section as we speak. For me limit all horns to a total of 5 minutes and only Bobby Keys......

I'm actually with Ian on this one. Mick said he was always writing during a SAL interview a while back. I'm sure Keith spends some time writing music as well. The Stones can all record music at their homes and send tracks to each other and work on them that way. Then there are unreleased/unfinished songs they could work on...Once the songs are written and roughly recorded they only have to meet for a short time to really produce them and put the finishing touches on 'em.

I think I understand what you're sayin now. In other words, "IF" The Stones had started. Someone who knows the camp, a studio hang about, a friend, or someone would of mentioned this to one of us or stated this in which we would of gotten wind of that mention by now. Or we would of known by a leak of some sort. I can understand your point there. There's sense to that thought process. Still, I think it's just as possible they have started and nobody has let anything out of the bag or "leaked" anything just yet in the same right. Also I was not into the notion of the press releasing something if all wasn't optimal for such just yet.

In other words your saying if something like that is going down we would of got word of something some way, some how by now. I see your point. I'm just not so sure of that as you are is all.

It's a tough call. I've never gone to a Stones show thinking "man, Woodies' gonna shred tonight." I always looked at him thinking "shouldn't he be playing more?" But he's managed to hold onto the gig, so good for him I suppose.
The question is can the Stones still put on a great show. If so, they deserve to be paid well. Every major artist charges an arm and a leg these days. Curious to know the price of the new Springsteen tix.

$95 (with an extremely limited number of $65)

The bootlegs I heard of Werchter and I think Nijmegen 2007 were absolutely dreadful performance wise. They seemed to get it together as the tour went on but there is no excuse for putting on such a bad show regardless of the ticket price.

But my days of spending a 3 digit figure just for a stupid concert are over.

I didn't get any boots from 07, heard too many bad reports of performance sucked. I really doubt if they will tour this year. No news yet unless it's a surprise. Let's go get drunk

" The only way they could tour and make a profit in this Recession cum Depression is to swap Wood for Taylor and play some some good old tunes with a BLUES edge !!!! "

It is definitely an economic depression that will take Obama ( " THE ONE !!! " ) years to pull our country out of such a horrific FUNK !!!!!

That being said ....... Why NOT tour ?

Ian,
I have a source who lives next door to Blondie Chapin and has recently spotted him practicing slapping a tamborine against his chest.

Obviously a Stones tour is quite imminent.
