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.

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.
