There is no question there is still plenty of gas in the tank! 2015 really is the best Stones yet.

Pretty much every time its been down to issues with currency or the fragile Latin American economies.

1975 really would have been quite groundbreaking. Not many British or American bands were going there back then. Thats why the tour was called 'Tour of the Americas'

Some sixteen shows were scheduled from August 7-31 - four each in Mexico City (OK, Voodoo - I know that's 'North America'), Rio, Sao Paulo and Caracas (actually I think Caracas may have been scheduled for five). Argentina was a no-no in those days.

I think that was the only tour though where dates were actually confirmed. Not sure if they ever went on sale though - I dont think they did. Anyone know?

Most of these scrapped tour legs never got past the planning stages.

http://www.timeisonourside.com/chron1975.html

Interesting timeline :

August 2, 1975: The Rolling Stones announce they are cancelling what would have been their first-ever
concerts in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela).

August 4-6, 1975: The Rolling Stones perform in Louisville, Kentucky and, for the first time, Hampton,
Virginia.

August 8, 1975: The Rolling Stones end their 1975 North American Tour with an added, extra concert
in Buffalo, New York.

That doesnt sound right to me. Cancel the South American tour at five days notice and THEN add a couple of US dates a few days later including a stadium show in Buffalo? Unlikely.

The other ones, never have been announced. In Argentina a Stones concert feels like a very special event like no other band in the world. For that reason, many people travel to attend concerts around the world. Anyway, we need to wait. I'm with my fingers crossed.

Aparentlly the Stones will play Sao Paulo on February / 2016.

This link below states that they have reserved 2 dates (21st and 23rd) on this month for the Stones

Here's hoping that this is true. And that they play more shows in Brazil

Have heard nothing solid of any plans beyond a Latin American leg, aside from speculation about a couple of London dates.

Personally, I'd be amazed if the Stones let whatever touring time they have left pass by without playing the new Wembley Stadium at some point.

seems like there's a new Wembley stadium or Arena in London every tour…

Huh?

Wembley Stadium opened in 1923, closed in 2000 and after being rebuilt, eventually opened in 2007. The Stones last played the old stadium in 1999 and havent played in the new one yet.

Wembley Arena has been there for decades although I think they renovated the inside of it about 5-6 years ago.

I doubt they'll ever play Wembley Arena again. They used it for the dress rehearsals for their 50 and Counting London shows in November 2012, but its been superseded as the main indoor arena in London by the larger 02 Arena.

(Earls Court is almost as big as the 02 and a lot more central than both the other venues, but its not used much for concerts (crappy sightlines and acoustics) and is about to be demolished.

Time to record an album ... why not. I think the old schedule of Mick getting together with Keith for six weeks to write songs.. before heading into the studio to record them needs changed right now.

Mick coming in with his songs... Keith having his load and them working on them in a studio is also a bit tired at the moment. Time to mix it up ... change the pattern. They should get together and rent out a studio with Was and jam and see what they come up with. They could write some songs on the road and finish them after the leg of the SA tour... (<<If that happens).

Their writing pattern needs changed up a bit right now to keep it fresh and interesting... They should mix it up .. and see what they come up with. By the late fall of next year ..they could tour the states on a brand new album....which was made both on and off the road in a multitude of situations. Would be interesting.

Dream on.

Keith will probably use part of the time off to do whatever promotional work he needs for his new album. That may involve some live performances.

The gap in the Stones schedule would be to allow for that. The fact that he's been active as a performer of late would bode well for the chances of Keith doing some shows. Its something he does want to do.

I'm sure Mick has other things that he'll want to catch up on.

They'll be touring early next year again - and I would guess they'll play shows in Europe in the summer. They wouldn't have a record out that fast even if they WERE to work on songs later this year.

Their writing pattern? What writing 'pattern' would that be? More than one album every decade?

What will they call this new record - "12 Songs You'll Never Hear Live" ?

I hope Keith plays London this year - Brixton Academy, O2 Shepherds Bush - holding out for one of those two venues.

Its been pretty much confirmed (several times by Keith in recent weeks as it gave him a chance to release and promote his record) that they'll play South America in Feb-March.

I guess we've had too many false alarms before for people to get worked up about it before its actually confirmed.
