You guys are amazing. You all want the Stones to be active in 2012, but one of them confirms that plans are starting to take shape you guys are all negative about it...I don't get it.
Provided health doesn't become an issue the Stones will be active in 2012.
Excatly. So many so-called fans who do not want them to tour. Figure that!

Question for Londoners, or anyone else that is more knowledgeable about Hyde Park than I am:
I assume that Ronnie is (supposedly) talking about "re-creating" the show at Hyde Park itself.
Do you think that Hyde Park is currently capable of hosting an event such as this, particularly if it was a free show?
I'm assuming that, free or not, there could be many more people wanting to see the Stones than in '69.
I'm basically familiar with the area, having run a few miles in Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens during my stay there in '03, but I have to wonder about it's ability to host a massive crowd the Stones might draw in this day & age.
What do ya'll think?
I doubt he literally means to re-create it. It'll probably be a headlining set at Hard Rock Calling to a crowd of about 50,000 (although the size COULD be extended if need be) - which WOULD work if the band were to just do a couple of festivals in Europe, then do a US tour with a 'proper' Euro tour to finish in 2013.
Live 8 had 200,000 people in there in 2005, however.

Wood revealed he and the Stones plan a series of gigs to mark their 50th anniversary next year and hope to recreate their 1969 show at Hyde Park. He is meeting bandmate Keith Richards this week to begin discussions. "We'll try to recapture the old camaraderie," he said.

enough already with the labeling people you don't agree with as "trolls". not everyone here drinks the kool-aid and thinks everything the stones do is totally awesome and the greatest ever. how many times has someone created a thread saying "hahaha the stones are old! and they suck!"? zero. but if someone is rational and says that maybe they should retire because there's no more gas in the tank, you automatically label them as a troll? that's just stupid childish name-calling that is best left for the playground. what's next, calling someone an anti-semite because they don't like lou reed?

Thanks for this good news! I'm *assuming* that the word "recapturing" might mean the return of Taylor and Wyman. Lovely.....

"I know Keith is fully supportive, as are the rest of the boys in the Stones. We'll see what we can do as a unit. Playing Hyde Park would be fabulous."
Wood is currently performing with The Faces, who are due to play a charity show at drummer Kenney Jones's Hurtwood Park Polo Club in Surrey.

Yeah. I just read that statement from Mick (sad) and now Ronnie said this(happy).
I don't know who to believe? Mick probably wants the focus on his new band Superheavy so he may have thrown " on the table" thing to keep the attention away from the Rolling stones subject.
Rock and Roll,
