I was being facetious, expanding on your "patience, grasshopper" theme. But usually the way these things have gone in the past is there's a meeting before Christmas ,then everyone goes on vacation, then sometime in February plans slowly start to roll out for the year. Then announcements come in the spring for summer/fall events. I do know some folks at Universal and they were talking about 50th anniversary stuff as soon as the last tour ended.
I can't really see a big tour but I'm sure the idea is to have some performances so that they could technically say they were active for 50 years. My guess is that a Taylor/Wyman guest spot would only happen at a London show and not anywhere else.

My own guess - and its only a guess as I dont know any specific details re: a 2012 tour - is that your summary is probably a pretty good one. There IS an intention to tour - I'm personally not convinced that it'll be of the length that we've become used to in recent decades, however.

That's rather odd considering when the last tour ended they were with EMI. Are you sure you don't mean when SHINE A LIGHT was released?

I thought they were already signed to Universal at that time, but I could be off a bit. Perhaps it was closer to the movie. Point being, they were talking about 2012 in 2007. It seemed so far away at the time it sounded ridiculous but here we are with 2012 right around the corner and the boys are still upright. That in itself is bloody marvellous.

Hi guys!
Is there any reliable information if they, really are in studio, jamming, ...?
or so far the only "confirmation" was Keith´s announcement in the media?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

The Universal Five years deal with UMG is only for Deluxe editions and Re-Releases and not for album of new material?!

33,000 views over a jam session? Ya think there might be just a little interest in the Stones working again?
Actully I don't think that is such a huge surprise in a Rolling Stones fan site.

Passion unmatched by any fans in the world.
Based on what research?

This Jam Session is turning out to be possibly the biggest secret since the Jagger/Taylor romance. HaHa.

What's the over and under on how many page views this hits until someone spills the beans...

Correct. While (as I understand it) its hoped they'll make new material, theyre not contractually bound to do so.

The 'Shine a Light' CD was a one-off release with UMG.
They later signed a five year deal with the company, which was finalised in July 2008.

As long as they aren't contractually bound for an album of new material, then there is no incentive to do work on a completely new album, right?
Maybe they just planned a bunch of reissues with outtakes leading up to their 50th in case they weren't able to do another tour due to health reasons. Kinda like hedging a bet on themselves.

In a rehearsal studio in Chelsea.
They wouldnt be using an EMI recording studio for a jam session.
