I'd like to be able to walk out of the venue knowing that was probably the last time for me.
Couldn't do that in '06.

Rock critics are not the problem, but if they performed like in 2007 I certainly would not go

Just a hard core Stones fan. I hope that's good enough.

Who here would want to go see the Stones no matter what happens ?
Other than a family emergency or similar situation (of course) would you go see the Stones despite anything else that might happen ?
Would you travel to see the Stones if (for example) Mick has already lost his voice a couple of times along the tour.
If the critics slag their performances (gotta know that's going to happen) ?
If the fans on IORR bitch about the setlist (you can bank on that as well) ?
If Ronnie starts dating Kat again ?
If you are not cute enough to get on the front row ?

Feel free to add any more clever reasons you can think of.
Yeah, I'm going.

I'll go to a few shows, but nowhere near on the scale I used to and certainly not outside Europe (too pricey and the risk of cancellations get greater each year)
How many I see depends on what they're playing like and how much they're charging for the sort of tickets I'd be reasonably happy with. And the sort of venues they're playing, too I suppose.
The 'no matter what' mentality I've no time for. If some people's desperation levels are so extreme that they've no sense of standards, thats their problem.
It's the first time where I dont feel that I NEED to go. Whilst I'd like another chance to see a few Stones shows, I dont think that my life will be less complete if there arent any. I'm happy enough with what I've got to experience over the last 30 years.

Lol, the "no sense of standards" you say. And just whose standards do we go by, the posters on here, the critics, the media? If people choose to sit home instead of go to the concert, fine. They don't need to explain their reasons to me. If they choose to go, great. Whatever their reasoning may be, it's their choice. If the Rolling Stones standards don't measure up to what other people want to see, that's fine too. Me, I'll still be happy to be there at the concert. No matter what. I'm going to see the ROLLING STONES because I want too. If that makes me mentally unstable, lol, so be it.

There are people who would actually go if the band were in oxygen masks, played for 20 minutes, were unable to remember how to play or sing and charged $1000 for a ticket.

Hmm...OK, but real butter on the popcorn, not that chemical crap they have in movie theaters. Throw in no Chuck Leavell, and maybe I'm there.
