The songs on 40 Licks were mostly mediocre, obviously thrown together in a hurry and didnt bode well for the future, but in fairness ABB was a pleasant surprise for the most part.
I guess you have to ask yourself is it worth their while (from their perspective) to record a NEW album if they're quite obviously not going to perform the songs in concert.

Live!
December 2009 Universal Music will release a multi-CD anthology box set (1971-2009). Includes rare and unreleased live & studio recordings. Confirmed by semi-inner circle source. Universal Music will announce this forthcomming release in September. More news later.
A guarded welcome, if true.
I sincerely hope we can replace the word "Includes" in your second sentence with "Consists of". Another excuse for a compilation padded out with a few unreleased songs would be yet another wasted opportunity.
The statement that it covers the years up to 2009 would suggest maybe they'll do a few new songs (a la 40 Licks) to bring it up to date - which would possibly mean that if they tour in 2010 it'll be behind this release of old material (with some 'new' songs) instead of a new studio album.
Well, Darryl has been doing some recording with Keith, maybe embryos of something to come

Well personally I found 3 outta 4 of the tracks on 40 licks to be great. Don't Stop SHOULD be the modern classic that YGMR has become.

I can easily see this being a double disk

No track listing ever appeared for 'Memory Hotel' which was announced in May '99 as being ready for release a couple of weeks later.
The fact that no track listing or artwork has ever been seen or verified for this release - even at the 11th hour - makes me wonder if the whole thing was bogus.

not (necessarily) saying you're wrong..but is You Got ME Rockin' really considered
a "modern classic". I know it's catchy and it's been played on many tours since the VL Tour
but...classic?

Great is a pretty daring description. (Not to mention using the word 'classic' and 'YGMR' in the same sentence)
I'd classify Gimme Shelter or Jumpin Jack Flash as 'great'.
Youd seriously regard those four songs as being comparable?
Dont Stop was a solid enough song. The other three would have been b-side material at best on any previous Stones release. All four of them sound like something they knocked together in about two days.

sounds bogus just because of the UNimaginative "Memory Hotel" name.

I'm hoping we get the full length version of She Was Hot.
