I hate to be the one to provide a reality spritzer here...but eventually, there will be a final Rolling Stones concert, the question is when and how may are left before the last time.

Do you think the number of shows left are:
< 50 shows
< 100
< 150
> 200 shows

Keep in mind, we're not looking for "wishful thinking" here...but how much they have left in the tank.
Do you think they'll do at least one show in 2011? That would be their 6th decayed of rocking and a rolling.


BTW...does anyone else get the heebee jeebee willies whenever the Stones play "The Last Time" in concert? I sure do...hehe
;-)

less than 50. i hope they will play in holland, not the arena but rotterdam or arnhem.
i will see them in the UK, Belgium and maybe dusseldorf or paris.
i think it will be their last tour. sad, but its true bye jeroen-holland

A trillion.

I really doubt this. More tours, for sure, but not a World tour.
Don't think Charlie's up for any more of those.

Hmmm, I think it will, somehow!!

So?

yeah, that really prevented the Stones and all those other acts he promotes (U2, Streisand, etc) from touring at the same time over the last two years

he's only the artist's promoter - its not like he's signed to play guitar for them as well.

I like to have a reality spritzer in the morning, with a couple of shots of dementia on the side.

Their 6th decayed of rocking ... brilliant Freudian slip. Most people are looking a little decayed by their 6th decade.

Nobody thought after the last show of Urbal Jungle in 1990 that there will be about 500 more shows...so, let's wait and see.

To actually address the topic ... my prediction is after this year's tour they'll take a few years off, then come back for a 2 year on and off tour (maybe three months on, three months off, something like that) for 2010-12.

They'll bill it as their 50th aniversary/farewell tour and the stage design will feature a giant cash register. The B Stage will be the drawer that pops out of the cash register, and each Stone will perform on a stack of 20 ft. x 10 ft. replicas of thousand dollar bills. Ticket prices will be $2,000 each, or your life savings, whichever number is greater.

Its not like they havent got any older or none of them have had any health problems in the last 17 years, though...

does not always happen gazza, if so were the hell is the announcement then,
are they waiting for an invitation or something, it would be silly for the stones to extend the abb tour at this point, its been to long of a delay, plus cohl is doing the police thing, and this is huge since er, they havent been out for 20 years

The Police were fine in their day. I am a fan. Seen them a couple times and have most if not all their albums. But I don't see this a huge. A blatant exercise for cash is more like it. I guess we will see something from the Grammy's to know whether they have the enthusiasm and chops to put on a good show.
Edit: I posted before seeing the Police thread. I see I am not alone in my lack of excitement.

Strange post coming from someone with the nick NumberOneStonesFan. Do you have your own little countdown for the number of days remaining for yourself on this planet? To be honest I think this is pretty inappropriate.

JumpingKentFlash

To be honest, I think you could use a few reality checks

why is it inappropriate, these guys are almost 70 years old, are you kidding me

>> these guys are almost 70 years old <<

nah - "almost 70" means at least 67 and a half.
the Stones are simply in their 60s (well, most of 'em anyway - Ronnie's still 59)

i said almost didnt i

well and i said "almost 70" means at least 67 and a half, didn't i :E

wow u know ronnies excact age, where would u like me to pin your medal

I can't see there being a 2007 tour at the moment. They would have announced the dates already, surely? I mean, The Who have for their May-July tour.

They're out of contract, probably negoiating with a major to distribute their back catalogue and - possibly - for another or two, so we shall see ....

If they hit the road again it will be in 2008/09, but that's a big IF ...

exactly what i have been saying

So once a guy knocks 60+ it is perfectly approptiate to ask this person how long this person will still be walking around on this planet? Sort of what is your plan for leaving us? Unappropriate.

PS. Mick and Keith's parents both lived till they were around 90+ years old. Making an estimated countdown to the date when somebody will not exist anymore - being a single person or a band - is highly inappropriate to my taste, indeed.

Bjornulf

yeah but they werent running around on stage

Charly gets 66 this year, Mick and Keith only 64, Ronnie is even "younger"...so everyone is many years under the anticipated average age, which is between 75 and 80 or so for men.

yeah and your point is?

i can't help but worry about the mental health of people who post like this. (i was already woried about kent, of course.)

what are they gonna do when the stones truly are no more?

World tour?

500 shows?

Can it really get any bigger than ABB?

One thing we can count on........

They will be preforming till age 80. Keith wouldn't want to be out done by Chuck.
Once the're the oldest rockers to ever preform, then they will rest.

Which brings up another question. What is the record?

Is the age of the oldest preformer? 85? 90? 100?

"It's Only R&R but ..................I LOVE IT!"

stones already hold the rockn roll record
