Yes, I think that's him
they seem to have changed their original plans (from late last year) for spring 2008 shows for some reason (which we can only speculate)...which isnt unprecedented after a lengthy tour. Voodoo Lounge was going to continue into spring 1996 with shows in India and there were plans to play spring 2004 shows in the US after the Licks tour, neither of which came off for various reasons.
It seems that once they take a few months off they seem to have trouble being motivated again to tour in short bursts. It always seems to be the full blown prolonged tour behind a 'product' or nothing, although I still think that pattern will change sooner or later.
As I mentioned a couple of days ago, Darryl Jones made a post on the forum of his own website last week where he mentioned about the fact that he's trying to get some recording done "before I get the call from the boys" or words to that effect. Which would suggest there could well be some kind of touring activity at some point in 2008
I dont want another mega tour either. I'd much rather they pursued the sort of model that Dylan has been doing in recent years and that the Dead and afew others have done. Ie, do maybe 3 mini-tours per year - every year - of maybe 15-20 shows at a time.
That way it gives them time to do other things they want - which at their age, most 'normal' people have earned the right to do - and it also means no lengthy gaps between Stones activity of some sort. I think they realise they're at a stage in their lives/career where taking a couple of years off between tours isnt really an option anymore for them if theyre going to continue as a functioning act.
I like the idea of 'special shows' too, but its going to take a huge sea change in the modus operandi theyve used for the last 35-plus years for them to work as a band on a scale which doesnt mean some lengthy and prolonged activity.
As always Sir Gazza, well said
C'mon, it wasn't really a 2 year tour. 2007 was a 2 1/2 month tour after a 7 month break.
this has been my most recent hope but i would think they might've had something in berlin - at least to kick it all off...
the austin premier is march 10
the NYC premier is march 30
when again is the london premier?
at this point, if there were shows, i imagine they would be like shepherd's bush or the double door where they were announced a day before the show.
Isn't it? If I don't see them live again it is!
Where are people finding this info? I have been trying to find out if there is a premiere of any sort planned for NY and have not heard a word.
Also, where did this March 30 in NY and March 10 in Austin rumor come from? Austin makes no sense at all does it?
Talk about your favorite band.

This forum has gone very quiet lately, this time last year we were all waiting for the Stones to anounce their new dates and people in the 'know' were giving their opinions , i.e. Gazza BV...SO is anything going to happen this year? does anyone know, are there any rumours (apart from Asia, and that may now be 2009)....just something would be good to get everyone talking again.

Well, I think that they just deserve some rest now for a while. I am sure we will se them on tour again, but I would rather see them strong and rested than being more and more tired because of non-stop touring. I don't want to start again the topic about Keith during the last ABB leg in Europe, I don't think he has any problems with his health. He was just tired and who wouldn't be after 2 years on tour? So honestly - I don't really want to see them for a while. I am looking forward to a new tour with "fresh" band and new material. And boys deserve some time to get ready for this.

Don't shoot me down but I'm not sure I'd want another full blown tour. The ABB shows I saw were amongst the best. With Rio, Super Bowl, the superb DVD set, Shine Alight etc. I'd probably like to see them go out on a high?
I'd dread the stones getting to old and ending up like some sort of Chuck Berry.
On the other hand I would like to see them perform a few special shows,acoustic maybe that are broadcast for everyone to see.....

Here, here. I like this Dylan style tour of announcing a few months here and few months there with short notice for tickets at smaller venues.
My biggest regret of 2007? Not seeing Dylan when he came to my town to play a new outdoor venue that only holds 5-7 thousand. Some said it was a real moment to remember. But I did happen to see his bus in traffic as he arrived the afternoon of the show and got a wave from the man himself.
Sometimes relocating to the American midwest can be very good, indeed.

I doubt that the boys will do a tour 08, but that doesn't mean they won't do some shows to promote the movie. Stay tuned...

Can't see them selling out big stadiums again at the moment.
They had their problems on this last one already.
For the market it would be best to have a break of 2-3 years at least. But at their age they can't do that.
So I'd say they either do distant markets or (some) arena dates.
(but they would make competition to themselves (SAL) with doing so . .)

i guess i've accepted my fate and actually have calmed down about it. I have decided against suicide.
Look, we save money, that's good, esp for me who will be going back to Europe this summer again (3rd summer in a row), in part for a stonestreff german fan club convention.
i feel like such an idiot with egg all over my big face after believing it would happen from some really good sources. And then mouthing off so confidently about how they would tour.
But if the band changes their collective mind, that kind of negates those sources, and we can't help that.
yes, i've heard about just a few shows, but I put no faith in that anymore.
I think I will go to New York for the premiere as the band will be there, or LA as Gazza suggested, which is an extremely logical locale.
But it's still mildly depressing.
Happy V Day everyone!

I think the london premiere is April 2nd, with the Stones appearing.
[www.stonesplanet.com]
I thought the NY premiere was April 4th but now the word is March 30,
with the date early in the month in Austin. Will the band appear at
any of these dates?

Austin almost surely will as the premiere is part of a film festival.
But New York?
