"Plenty" ... we shall see... who knows.. but in my opinion they will be in 2-3- and 4 show spurts... not consecutive. As well the 50th Anniversary premise will be laid to rest with all the headlining and merchandise changed and it'll be a different stage and a different concept all together.  There were a slew of special things and 5 special shows (6 if your counting that small Paris warm up) to celebrate their 50th with a special PPV concert finalizing it. Their 50th Anniversary thing is ending December 15th. Next year will not be a continuing of the 50 and Counting stuff is my point if they decide to perform at some time down the road in 2013.


Ian



Its totally bloody irrelevant whether its called '50th anniversary' or not. Its just a name. All this bollocks about a tour concept, anniversaries and merchandise is meaningless.

It'll still be the Rolling Stones playing sets of mostly very old songs that they've played many times before and charging people a lot of money to witness it.

Same formula that they've been doing since 2002.

However, you can expect a much smaller number of cities and shows.

Not sure why that is if having missed out on seeing them in 2012 you're accepting that you've a better chance of doing so in 2013.

I met a guy ( in London) last week.. who is one of the bands business managers  ( rather not say which one)... ANYHOW..  i said "  I think the Newark shows will be their last".  He was adamant that was not the case " Unless Keith is sick".     He was realy bullish.   Iv changed my mind now.

Because the final bow always gets to me and until 2013 shows are announced.............we really can't be certain. Don't expect me to rational Gazza. Why should I start now????!!!!!  Fuck you Gazza, Will ya?

The band continues until they do not. I've said that for years and years.

BB King still tours and he's 87. Dave Brubeck toured until he was 90. The Stones love what it is they do, and nobody has ever done it better. They still create new material (okay, two songs this year) and they are far from the nostalgia trip most bystanders think they are on.

Also, I haven't noticed too much complaining about the setlists so far. Two shows and most of it songs they've done too many times to count.

Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry — all forms of fear — are cause by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.

I simply cant believe what I'd read in this thread. Why should they stopped?
I agree with Corgi and Lady Jane.
Wait and will see what they will gonna to do by now, soon, just few months since now.
But no new songs? Album? Gazza may says that they dont need ea new one.
I think is possible for them to keep on.
Keith surely will

The question is not whether there will be a tour

The question is; how many kidney's do I really need,  and what are they going for nowadays?

I know... but what I am saying is I don't think they will be touring or doing shows based on nothing. I think they will be touring to promote something eles or working on something eles. I don't think it will simply be The Stones doing shows/touring... I think they will have another project in the works .. not simply or only being The Stones in concert is what I'm saying....

Ian, I don't think "touring based on nothing" will be accurate. They've got the whole 50th thing going ("and counting"), plus the "Grrr!" comp, a new single that's recieved very favorable reviews and airplay, the "Crossfire Hurricane" doc, "Charlie Is My Darling", the book this last year, etc.

I'll put money on them releasing at least one new single before June 2013 (maybe just for download), never mind the obvious DVD comp.
As long as they can take their time (and space out the shows) and rake in the money, I think 2013 could be a HUGE Stones year (and who knows - maybe a full album of new-ish stuff).
Maybe we're in agreement here...

______________________________________


Thanks for your input Mr. Yeats and I like the fact that we are on the same page. You asked are we in agreement here: Yes... I think they will certainly do another album. Yes... I think next year they will start working on it... who knows...maybe even release it by late next fall. However no... I don't think they will release another single by June ...and no I think the momentum for these celebrations will grind to a halt for a little while after this years end. I think they will pick things up in a live sense later on in the year....however not in simply 1 or 2 months into the year.

This is it for their 50th THIS year...they are going to leave that idea behind and lay it to rest after this year ... THEN it will be onto something eles... who knows...maybe recording an album on the road and going back to do shows again next spring or late summer.  Whatever it entails it will not be simply The Rolling Stones doing shows with no new product surrounding it.

The bigger issue surely is whether they are going to get it together to trade gorilla panties before Christmas? Yes it's all very well beautifully perfecting and updating their tunes, and contributing to hurricane relief, but what about the shortage of lingerie-vending in the lobby? Split Grrrotch Panties please.

Directly after the 2nd O2 show the following tune was played over the tann-oy...

What a waste of space...just like that thread about Mick not being on the cover of Tattoo You...Ian has that failed Ronnie Wood "meet and greet" event from a couple of years as his (sole ?) redeeming "fait d'armes" and proof that he is a "real" person, for the rest...

Why on earth would they stop at this point, to go out on a bang? Yeah...possibly.

An interesting point raised in this thread is the marketing campaign to brand these five shows as "upscale"...I for one didn't feel it that way really, maybe because I was in the thick of the action on the 25th? Guests, sure, but overal I got the feeling they were keeping it simple and to the point.
