#1. Hit the studio running with Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor...
#2. Dump the stadium shows (theaters and arenas only)...
#3. Feature at least six of the brand new songs at each show....
#4. Focus on rarities and new songs with less emphasis on warhorses...

Brilliant set list [requisite IORR gripe follows] except for Lady Jane; I hate that song. I like the "new song" slots, but it would be a miracle at this point if they could pull off an album strong enough to have 6 new songs in the setlist. Apparently people were pissed anyway when they played half of Some Girls in '78 (I'd kill for that), so might as well.

Don't like your set list stonescrow...I'm not a warhorses man, but I'd always include Gimme Shelter and SFTD on any classic set list.

The Rolling Stones have one of the deepest catalogues in rock history. A future tour, if there is one, should have every song slot reserved for one of those gems. I don't need to see the "Rain Fall Down" of 2012.

I suspect that they already tried to at 02 four years ago!

Sounds great - for hard core fans. I suspect that a new album wouldn't do especially well, if they just did small venues prices would be shocking and most punters want the hits.
I'd welcome Bill and Mick T back but as much as there is a feeling here that his return would boost sales of tickets I'm bot convinced it would. I believe if you wandered around a Stones gig saying 'of course it was better with Mick Taylor' half the people wouldn't know who you were talking about.

Both classics, clearly, but when is the last time they were played and sung well?

The Stones hate this "this is our last tour - third to last show - second to last show - last show - last song of our last show - last encore of our last show" - feeling.
That's why they left the future open after 02. But from what I've heard there are guys in the band who are glad that it (= touring) is over and want to leave it that way.

Repeating themselves in my opinion would not be going out in a blaze of glory. The time has come for them to dig down deep and come up with one last classic album that is packed with one killer song after another.

The Stones have so much material they would not have to repeat anything. Playing new material, just because it is new doesn't make any sense this late in their career. However, if the new material warrants being played - go for it.
