I am of the mind that the best of both worlds would be a massive release of the vaults followed by an extended engagement at some venue in NYC, London, and then perhaps some other European city, and maybe Oz.

I still say that the one sticking point is going to be Charlie. He is the one that holds the Stones' touring future in check. If he says go then they go. If he says no, then we are going to be faced with the possibility of a tour with Charlie Drayton, or some other drummer behind the kit. I for one, would love to see them release the vaults and then do a long goodbye via these extended engagments with Charlie. No Charlie, no Stones imho.

Riffy

Charlie & Shirley Watts are in Poland at the minute - as they often are at this time of year - at an auction for Arab stallions. A poster on IORR met him yesterday and asked him about a Stones tour.

Charlie replied that the "next tour will be probably next year".

as I mentioned in the 'where is our tour' thread, a Dutch Tv channel last week mentioned plans to play in Amsterdam next summer.

This band isn't going away quietly for a while yet.

True that. They have no plans on retiring at the moment. Nor do they "plan" a retirement time frame from what they have personally stated in recent interviews and meetings with fans. It is business as usual until one of them cannot play (heck, even with Charlie and his throat cancer, whew ....by the way and a huge sigh of relief with that one.... and shaky future around the time of the ABB recording sessions The rest of The Stones discussed things and agreed to carry on).

It is August. You would think Mick and Keith would be at least writing for it by now if they plan on releasing a new album next summer or fall. Unless they have some in the bag to include to the heap which could make the time constraint less than normal if that is the case...

It is August. Normally Mick and Keith would be at least at it by now. Makes you ponder what is occurring between those two. They haven't been spotted Nor has anyone heard of them together lately or any time fairly recently.

They live on different continents, Ian. They dont socialise together and any writing they do is (with a few exceptions when they take themselves away for a period before making a record to bounce what they have off each other) agenerally done separately. Thats pretty much hows its been for most of the last few decades.

As neither of them have released a note of recorded music in the last four years - as a band or solo - I would think its a safe enough bet that they've at least done some sporadic bouts of writing or demoing songs in their respective home studios in that time.

Jagger not having done a solo record since ABB may actually be a good thing as it could mean that any writing he's done is more likely to be channelled towards 'Stones music' than his solo stuff. With one exception, every Stones album since 1983 has been followed by a Jagger solo release before the band made another record - often to the detriment of the Stones album that followed (ie he contributed little to Dirty Work and Voodoo Lounge could have been an even better album than it was had some of the material for Wandering Spirit (and even Main Offender) been used for it). The only time the Stones have done two back to back studio albums since Tattoo You-Undercover was Voodoo Lounge-Bridges To Babylon, and even then the songs for BTB were originally written for projected solo albums.

*I know. But then they do eventually come together by now to see what each-others got. This is what I'm saying. You'd think they'd be at least planning on it soon.

*Your right again. Between he and Keith (regardless of his some what lazy reputation around here goes...) they should have plenty to get stated on together.

*The good news here is that solo albums are pretty much out of the question by now at this late time if they are going to tour next year we'd think. A STONES album is almost surely on plans baby!
