stones arent a vegas band as some one has said, and i have to agree, and considering their age, as someone else posted, 62 - 69 i think it was, this is most likely going to be the last 'big' one, if not the last one altogether
ive been trying to think of what they can do - although the thread title; is is fair to expect another tour? has been getting me thinking, just because we're fans doesnt mean we deserve them to go through the shitty stuff of a tour, granted the playing to thousands every night is a plus side, there are alot of bad things to go through
but ive been thinking of what they can do,i read recently that the whole U2 360 thing hasnt been doing too well, critically, so i think that'll free up the ego thing, as in theres no competition if bigger bang was the last great 'giant' tour kinda thing
but ive been thinking of a residency kinda thing for the stones, and it doesnt work, but ive also been thinking alone the lines of a long tour, more like two or three medium to large tours wrapped together as the big ''farewell'' tour, but i cant see this happening because the stones dont want to finalise anything, theyre not that kinda band, i dont think their egos, and rightly so, could say, "yeh thats it, 50 years, we're done" - i think theyd rather leave all the fans desperately wanting another tour until one of them passes, that'll be the only end; as keith has said.
but if been thinking of a blend of the two almost, as in, they play short residencies, say three to five gigs, in one place in one town, for example say 5 nights in london then 3 nights in scotland or northern england, the threen nights at the 02 arena in dublin, or croke park or something, then over to the equivalent in barcelona or madrid, or both, then paris etc etc, and it would be a 'come to them' situation, in large enough venues, but in different countries, as a large farewell tour, not explicitly known as the farewell tour - as they've taglined the last couple tours - but just a general consensus of this is the last one
and it would be a world tour, would be long im sure, like ive said almost like two or three tours, kinda like ABB with a two leg tour thing, maybe three or four years
something like that i can imagine, but i dont know if its feasible, or if they'd want to do it, but ABB was huge, they maybe able to top U2, but can they top themselves?
also, i was wondering, wouldn't universal also be expecting a tour, i mean they wouldnt take them over without a tour, do they make money from tours?
