How about this for an idea for the 50th anniversary Fabulous Fifty Farewell Tour?

Have three mini concerts in one representing three different eras.

#1. Stones open concert dressed in suits and ties with line up consisting only of four of five original members doing six or seven songs from the sixties.

#2. After brief break and clothes change (to late sixties early seventies attire) they return to stage joined by Mick Taylor and do six or seven Exile period songs including Plundered My Soul.

#3. After another brief intermission they return to stage with all members and back up musicians and do six or seven brand new songs from their new album.

What do ya think, mates?

Closing a show with six or seven new ones? Only if they're not charging top dollar for the privilege of witnessing it. The new ones were such an essential part of the Bigger Bang shows, after all.

I am going to be very disappointed if the next album (assuming there is one) isn't significantly better than ABB.

Sounds awful

Of course I disagree. I truly believe that what I have suggested here would not only be interesting and entertaining but a breath of fresh air as well. After all, it's only rock 'n' roll, and it would certainly be different than what we got on the last tour. Don't you think it's about time to move away from the warhorse laden stadium shows? ABB was the perfect vehicle to say goodbye to the huge stadium shows. It was great, but it's time to move on.

Talk about a Vegas act.

Nothing wrong with a Vegas act. These guys have been showman since the first camera began following them. The TAMI Show, The Ed Sullivan Show, instantly come to mind.

they don't need a ton of wardrobe changes but it would be cool if they did an acoustic set and a set of just 60's and early 70's tunes without the huge array of backup musicians.

Absolutely, that is what I am really after here. I could live without the wardrobe changes, but I still think it would be really fun to see them dress as they did in the day when the songs were first introduced.

Smaller venues, sitting back on chairs, playing acoustic blues. They could do that until they are in their 80's.

Yes, indeed.
