I do not need them to see them again. I've seen them enough. Maybe good for younger people around age 45, but not anymore for me, 71 of age.

You're being revisionist. What would Sasha even do if Lisa didn't provide the blueprint? She is integral to the modern version of the band. I'm sure there's many who like me were disappointed after she quit. I see a revisionist pattern here on the board where folks even act as if there was a possibility they could bring Wyman back in the fold and he would be able to actually play, pick up right where he left off or something.

Revisionist? Nope. I realize some were disappointed when Lisa left, but I've never been one of them.
The first time I saw Sasha perform with the Stones it was a revelation - she has more of a subtle classic era back up singer vibe vs. the over-the top circus Vegas act that Lisa brought.

I dislike all that backup singers stuff.Let Mick and Keith sing and the band play

Why is this question being posed as if it's new? They haven't toured behind an album full of new, original material since 2007 (I don't count 2015/16, as they did not explicitly tour for B&L.) Just looking back, the past 10 years have seen them tour for these reasons:

2012-2013: 50th Anniversary/GRRR...
2014: 50th Anniversary Part 2
2015: Sticky Fingers reissue
2016: No album
2017-?: No album

I would love nothing more than for them to tour behind an album. One of my favorite things about other bands like The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul McCartney is seeing them tour behind new content, testing out the new material to an audience. Sometimes you can feel when a track will become a standard part of the set, other times you can tell you're seeing one of the only performances of a tune. I really wish the Stones would just give us something more than Archive releases and one-off singles, but I truly don't think they're capable or willing to put in the effort needed.

It feels as if they have determined to go on as long as they can, until something happens to derail a key member. You have to respect that. They're going to go out on their own terms.
I might like to see them play a final run of shows in London and then take a bow; but more likely it will end in some midwestern U.S. city where Keith forgets the opening chords to SMU, or Mick's voicebox tears. That will be rough. But again, there's a certain admirable quality in taking it as far as it can go.

...... okay

Tunes like Tumbling Dice, Honky Tonk Women, et al. sound great with female backup singers as the studio versions attest to.
But when all these backup singers invade songs like JJF, Satisfaction, etc. live, that's when it can become a problem.

Listen to Satisfaction at MetLife Stadium '19 which is clearly not the best version (Keith is quite sloppy), but when the backup singers add their "magic" it really sounds horrible imo.
It starts to become noticeable around 4:30, but at the 5:00 it becomes almost laughable.

The thing is, when Mick says "And now we're gonna play one of our new songs!" most people in the crowd are like uhh.. what?.. we wanna hear Satisfaction man..

Really as far a "new" songs go only You Got me Rocking is played frequently. Out of Control is played a bit more heavily now but even that one is 24 years old now. According to Setlist FM Rough Justice and Oh No, Not You Again haven't been played since 2007. I think Doom and Gloom is already pretty much eliminated from rotation. I'll assume Living in Ghost Town will be played every night on the U.S. tour which is a plus.

Weirdly enough, it's possible that they could pick up from when he left, feel wise. Would anyone notice? Certainly. But it would be more of a media/hype/historical aspect than the continuation of. The importance, or impact, of him playing with/in the Stones again would be news for a minute, and then it would would go away.

We've heard worse. It's different. It's just that song. At least it's still the song.

Exile must be tough to listen through for you...

Actually I love Exile.And Shine a LightLet it Loose,Just Wanna See His Face and Tumbling Dice, are the only songs with backup non Stones singers.Of those, the backups are only essential on Let it Loose.They are such great songs inspite of them.I always disliked those gospel Tumbling Dice singers.They are great on Let it Loosethough.

Gimme Shelter should never be played w/o backup singer.

Lisa was/is better than Sasha.

Full stop.
