Tell Me :
Talk
both bands toured the US at the same time in late 2005.
U2 is planning to tour next year from June until October or November. That won't have any bearing on wther the Stones tour or not, even though they have shared a lot of crew members over the years.
As Gazza mentioned, they both were on tour at the same time in in 2005-06, as well as in 1997-98. In fact in Los Angeles in early November 2005, we got the Stones, U2 and Paul McCartney all playing within a 10 day period. I saw all 3 of those acts multiple times during those days. I also saw the Stones in Rio in 2006 followed by U2 2 days later in Sao Paulo and in 1998, I saw both the Stones and U2 in Japan within a couple days of each other.
The U2 world tour started at the end of June in Barcelona. This year's European leg runs until late August and is followed by a North American leg in September and October. Their plan is to finish work on their next album and have it out for the continuation of their tour next year. It's planned for North America again in June and July, followed by Europe in August and September and South America (and potentially the rest of the world) in October and/or November.

HeySkippy,
you are right, there were not any shows...it was a joke...!
Agreed, and it can't be over-emphasized that given their ages, the drive likely simply isn't there.
I know this for sure- Leavell's not waiting for his phone to ring. He's making his own plans for as far as he can see.
More likely it'll be like last time, when they announced in interviews that its centred around the music and that all of the new album is made to be played live - and then it was basically a rerun of the Licks stadium tour and geared towards profit margins more than anything else.
It would be nice to see a new M.O. at this stage in their career, but it woud be a massive surprise if that actually happened.
Pardon me, Sir, but you sound like the lonely piper in a deep dark wood...Keith obviously has talent for catchy phrases, but...
However, it is possible that they tour again if Mick and Keith come to terms with the M.O.
So: possible - yes, but dont take it for granted.

You're probably right, but the slim chance of a MO change is the one thing that keeps my Stones blood flowing. Another Stadium/Warhorses Tour would really be to much for me.
All we can do is sit, drink and wait.
Talk about your favorite band.

People who complain about the "long" silence from the Stones obviously forget that there were serious signs of market saturation last time. Time is a significant factor to build up interest in the band again. It does not surprise me at all that we dont hear anything from then now. Seems that they make themselves rare intentionally. On the other hand, time is an important factor considering their age. The problem is that they probably would need a 5 years break from touring to build up enough interest in the band again, but that their age does not allow sucg a long period of inactivity. Not to speak of other serious problems in their key markets, USA in particular.

It's not that far away from thinking that the Stones might never return on stage. At least, Keith's ability to play guitar worries me a lot. Charlie wouldn't mind never toruing again as he's sick and tired of it, as he once said. Woody play might with different people and Mick wouldn't mind either, I guess.
The only thing they need is the applause ... in particular, Keith and Mick can't live without it.

Hey alimente - yeah, I never heard or read ANYTHING about Mick playing ANY shows. This is new to me. I just knew the album came out as a single or with a DVD.
There is nothing on nzentgraf about Mick playing any solo shows.

What doesnt seem to have been mentioned and which may be significant is that while Keith's writing output has dwindled down to a trickle post-Voodoo Lounge, this is also as long a period as I can ever remember without Mick doing anything, either solo or with the band.
During every other extended Stones hiatus (83-86, 86-89, 91-93, 99-02 and even in the period between Licks and AB
In five weeks time, it'll be exactly two years since the last Stones concert. Since then, the only band 'activity' has been to attend about four movie premieres. Not even a whisper of any solo activity by Mick and Keith, and all there has been is the occasional jazz band gig that Charlie has sat in on and some vague stop/start info on Ronnie making a solo record.
Agreed, and it can't be over-emphasized that given their ages, the drive likely simply isn't there.
I know this for sure- Leavell's not waiting for his phone to ring. He's making his own plans for as far as he can see.

They'll tour. The question is what the format will be like: huge scale Vegas Tour, 'intimate' and centered around the music or something in between a la Licks? AND: wil they tour behind a new record or behind reissues/new compilation?

i want them to tour again in the next say two years. need at least a year to build up some money, minimally, for the cost of ticks and travel.
part of me wouldnt mind if they stopped as then money could be saved and i would have attended the final show ever, at the O2, something that i can always say.
maybe there should be a thread asking people to respond if they wish them to STOP touring and why.

I have no hope that the Stones will ever "go back to the music." When you're crusing down the road at 100mph...why would slowing down to a steady 25mph be fun? They're used to showing up at the venue...play the songs they don't have to think about too much...Brown Sugar...JJF...Satisfaction...songs that are part of the muscle memory. Speed through it...and leave. They're on stage not for the music but for the rush they get from the audience BECAUSE of the music. That's all it is today. Feeding that appetite for the rush. Anything else...petty at this stage.
