My bet .. they will not announce it as the Final Tour ... but they will encourage the press to talk it up ... then hit the road about this time next year ... "peace baby ... it's just a shot away" ... CCM Retarded post

Well, the press have talked up every tour as 'the last one' since about 1969, so nothings changed there -

I always thought the first "last" tour was 1966.

Well actually I know someone who works in the new Yankee Stadium and Cohl was there discussing available dates, but that was months ago. Yankee's rule! OK, to be the first concert played at the new field would be another milestone for the Stones, and it isnt far from the Brooklyn Bridge either. Could possibly be the tour opener?

More stadiums = more greatest hits setlists.

Being a Stones lifer with no chance of parole, I'll still go and see them of course, but if its another round of warhorse-fest stadium shows put together with the sole motivation of trying to outgross U2, then its a final opportunity to reinvent themselves missed and makes my decision to just see maybe 4 shows (instead of 13 on each of the last 2 tours) and not travel too far to see any future shows a much easier one.

At this stage its a bit like following your favourite football team.

You feel used and ripped off by spiralling prices, you get pissed off at the way it's run by people who you feel dont get the passion that you have and who are more concerned with big business than the ordinary fan, you feel that some of the team are getting on a bit and are more detached from the supporters than ever, you get frustrated at declining standards and occasional lack of form compared to what you were used to before - but in spite of it all, you still manage to get a kick out of it on the nights when it all goes well and its a good excuse to hang out with your friends.

And after so many decades, it's simply too late to stop now. It's in the blood and is something that non-believers just can't grasp.

Reply #37 - Nov 7^th, 2009 at 8:15pm I prefer stadiums only because tickets won't cost an average of $220. I am probably not going to have a grand or so to blow on this tour. And the U2 record. or even an ABB record, is going to be tough to beat.

Also agree with Gazza but 3 shows sounds light, so I'll go with 6: NY, NJ, PA, Boston, Vegas and London. If multiple NY, NJ and PA shows than I'll do 2 in some cities so I'm up to 10. Add 2 more 'special shows' to make it an even dozen. That's the number ~ 12 shows for me. Would prefer theatres, yeah right, then arenas, and last choice are the stadiums. I'm getting too old to stand outside gertting soaked in the rain, bake in the hot sun, or freeze my ass off, depending on the weather! THE STONES are getting too old for it too, they have to stay in good health. This could be the last time, baby the last time but I dont know, oh no, OH NO!

okay so i get why stadium shows arent everybodys favorite.. however... its still a chance to see them guys... i personally dont mind stadium shows... they are cheaper.. and the pyrotechnics are much larger and the shows are just bigger.. smaller venues have the intimacy level which i like though too.. i dont know i just dont see why everyones complaining about the shows... also i honestly dont think this will be the last tour for them... maybe the last world wide tour but i know they all love playing so much that they will continue doing concerts here and there but maybe this will be the last full fledged tour all over the world..

really?

Good to see you posting here - thanks for contributing.

Pretty much after every one of the last few tours we've assumed they wouldnt do any more 'big' tours but would scale things down. So far, theyve been unable to do that. The Stones dont seem to be able to motivate themselves to exist outside of the confines of a mega-tour - the last time they played a concert when not on tour was a brief 45-minute set at Keith's two CNIB benefits in 1979.

I still enjoy seeing them in any venue, but stadium shows are generally overpriced and the setlists 'dumbed down' for the benefit of the amount of 'box ticking' casual fans that they feel they need to attract to be able to fill the venue when charging those kind of prices. The appeal of that kind of lowest common denominator 'event' diminishes with each successive year. And pyrotechnics and fancy stages mean absolutely nothing to me, personally. It's all about the substance, and not the spectacle - but each to their own.

Gee Gazza, I didn't know you were a Chiefs fan! Smiley

That said, I just want to be able to see them play. I could live without the spectacle, but hey, it's better than no tour.
