They celebrated the 50th with some shows in late 2012 and mid 2013
They did Glastonbury, they did Hyde Park, & the sun shone throughout
General consensus is that they were playing better than they have done in years
A good note on which to go out on perhaps ? Or still more to come ?

DISCUSS
The reason I opened up the discussion was simply because like a lot of people on this board I guess, I'd love to see them again somewhere sometime. But - the thought did occur that from their point of view, given the resounding success of those 2012/2013 shows, if they were to be thinking along the likes of "wouldn't it be nice to go out on a high" (so to say), then maybe now would be as good a time as any to hang it up ?
Personally I hope they're not thinking like that and that the thought doesn't or hasn't crossed their minds, but it would probably be silly to think that it's not a possibility.
I for one absolutely ain't thinkin' about it, but if one day in the spring of 2014 there's an RS tweet announcing forthcoming shows, then it'll be
But if not, and if Hyde Park 2 turns out "to have been it", then f**k it, at least I was THERE !! So either way, more

I think you can safely assume they are talking years.
Are you an accountant by trade?

OK; I'll take your word for it.
The '51'-bit still stands, though.
P.S.: no, good grief - I'd be awful at that. Counting money that isn't my own?! NEVER!!
