I wonder if the forth coming tour will be a fair sized one. Do you think they should play some small cities or big? I'd like to see both.

Big Stadiums that will allow the most to attend once in their life a concert by the Greatest Rock Band ever. Arenas are for the few.

at this point, the universe of those who are still waiting to see them "once in their life" is pretty small.

if it happens, I'm thinking along the same lines as GeorgeV and JahPaul
small arenas, relatively few shows, a lot more Taylor, and big big prices
its the only card they have left to play i think.
it needs a concept though. a bit more musically serious i think. a few more
deep cuts. more like a recital.
plus release an album with again a couple new songs, and some wonderful unreleased
tracks including some killer live versions of some of the warhorses
we just had Grrr for JagGrrr. this one could be HARD, for RicHARDs

1) true.
2) there are only three possible bidders. Cohl/Live Nation (they've settled
their legal issues), AEG, and Dainty/Branson.
How about Dainty/Branson, AEG, and Live/Nation in that order instead? Dainty/Branson are likely to have gotten some leg up going into future shows because of their 50th Anniversary deal. AEG next because of #3 below and then, LiveNation last not that order makes any difference in the final analysis.
3) various news stories have indicated what the Stones were being offered in
2012 by one or more of the above parties was about $100 million for 50 arena
shows. Stadiums were not under consideration. $2 million a show. But Mick said
no. Was it the money or was it Keith's un-readiness or some other reason?
Mick alone said no,... think Keith is still abstaining from participating in decision making after his, Life?
4) So Mick Dainty and Branson came up with the NY/London scheme for $5.5 million
a show later in the year (Actually the intention was $7 million a show for
4 shows, but when the VIP tix didn't move as well as hoped, the fifth show was
added, as per prior contingency agreement, in order for there to be an adequate
gross to cover the guarantee. The Stones got nothing extra for the fifth show.)
Not doubting you, but where can I read more about the VIP tix not moving as well as hoped? Exactly what in meant by the VIP tix? — a la carte? or in tour packages?
5) this is of course all approximation. but perhaps it does provide some
guidance when speculating just how much Mick wants to do in 2013, in what kind
of venue, and how much he needs in return.
