I am hypothetically the publisher of the Sun UK. I have not heard back from my
informed sources, so I am ready to scream "Print!" into the phone. The headline:

"The Wired Ones at IORR can no longer assure a Stones 50th anniversary tour!"

The clock ticks away mercilessly towards my deadline...

Damn, yellow journalism is fun!

When did "The Wired Ones" ever assure a 2012 tour? I've read lots of "done deals" but not a word of confirmation from anyone I believe actually has a Connection.

There was a time, a month or so ago, when I was finding it impossible to
visualize what these 50th shows might be like, given all the turmoil, internal and
external. But when those in the know assured me that 50th shows were a "done
deal" I relaxed and tried to get into a Taylor Wyman kind of mood, cooperative
soul that I am.


But are the wired ones amongst us now re-hedging? Must I again tax my
ridiculoulsy overtaxed brain to visualize the un-visualizeable? Or can I still
relax knowing that 50th shows are indeed on their way for sure barring illness
or death?

I only know one poster who's been saying that - and he's been saying it since 2009.

This is the first time that Bill has played with the rest of the Stones (especially Mick and Keith) in 20 years...and the first time Mick, Keith, Ronnie and Charlie have played together for over 4 years.

So was this:

- " hey its been 50 years, lets jam together and tell the world before we jam to set the rumour mill running..."

- "we'll be touring next year with Bill as special guest, so we'll test that we can work together before we sign the contracts..."

- "we are do a special one off secret gig (original band except for Brian) on our 50th anniversary, so we better do a rehearsal now..."

- " we'll have a bit of fun and video it for the 50th anniversary (5x50) DVD..."


answers on a postcard please!

Your post speaks to this question of what exactly to visualize for any 50th
shows. Musically, I find it very easy and almost comforting to see a sort of
Ben Waters 1962 Mick Taylor Rhythm Kings kinda show, sort of dignified and
Charlie Watts classy. Which would work superbly if all they're gonna do is
collect presidential medals and work on television...

But could that kind of approach possibly work for a big stadium cash-in?

Maybe with really big screens and superb sound and not much else in the
way of staging?

whataya mean, Watson? I been SuperRevvy all my life.

So anyway, since we're being genial, are you surprised at the huge success of
T.H.E.? And the crushing demand for the 500 $25 tickets to see superstar genius
Dave Stewart at the Troubadour?

Seriously, dude, to return to the subject at hand, if anyone can detective what
the Stones are up to, it has to be you. So, how far you think they're gonna go down
the more friendly and approachable ABCD Rhythm Kings road, if at all? Or will it
be more full-on stadium bombast?

Personally I'm fine with it either way. How about you?

As you can tell, I'm your biggest fan ever. Love, SR

It's like a broken clock being right twice a day. Keep saying it's a "done deal" for enough years and eventually these folks will be proven right.

Aside from that being true, there have been plans since 2007 to do some shows or even some touring. For various reasons, they just never came off (my own guess being either Patti Hansen's illness (which wasnt made public at the time) and/or Ronnie's mad 'lost weekend' around 2009). The band even discussed doing shows around the Exile reissue last year.

I just get the impression they cant be motivated if it means doing anything on a small scale. And if theyre going to feel the need to rehearse for a few weeks to do a couple of shows, the logic seems to be that its not worth the effort so they either do a big tour or nothing at all.

Seriously, StonesTod, 71Tele, you're knocking over your own straw horses. If
you take out the overly charged phrase "done deal", which I apologize for
carelessly using, and replace it with something along the lines of "somewhat
confident expectations expressed by Gazza and other well-regarded sources that
at least some 50th anniversary shows will occur", the important question would
still stand...

Has that confidence increased or decreased or stayed the same as a result
of reports from the jam session? Its a simple enough question, and carries
none of the silly baggage you are piling onto it.

Re: Stones to jam in studio this month

And if I am wrong that Gazza had earlier expressed some confidence that shows
would occur, I apologize for that too.

Re: your other question :

Hard to say, as we dont know for sure what happened when (and after) the band got together two weeks ago. Any feedback I heard suggested things went well, however. If thats the case, it can only be a plus.

From what I was told in September, they'd agreed to tour next year. As for the finer details - where, when, on what scale, and for how long, etc - I don't know. I guess that has still to be ironed out.

I cant honestly imagine it'll NOT involve stadiums again, though.

The penalty for being wrong would be the end of the Stones. That's a pretty stiff penalty if you ask me.

Dream on .

Yeah, well, I question it too, and specifically questioned it to the esteemed
Mr. Maynard earlier...

As I said, its easy for me to visualize/audiolize what such a Stones might
sound like (after all, we have Watching the River Flow and ABCD and the
Rhythm Kings and various early versions of the Stones to guide us), it is
much harder to imagine just how to present that version of the Stones in
a stadium, given the Bang/360 expectations of SPECTACLE...

Maybe you just do it! Big screens, good sound, limited staging, limited
amount of shows, officially the farewell... Maybe you just do it, spectacle be
damned.

Not predicting anything. Just thinking out loud.

The session took place from December 6th

it can't just be coincidental that the session started on the 42nd anniversary of altamont. i think the stones finally decided to right that wrong and they probably made a very special altamont-oriented recording, whose proceeds will go to the hell's angels and others who were negatively impacted on that infamous night.

I doubt 42 years later Mick, Keith or Charlie remembers the date Altamont took place. Even in '69 Mick had to be reminded of the date as seen here at 3:58.

then it can't just be coincidental that neither mick nor charlie nor keith remembers the altamont date.

One would doubt they keep track of dates in their own tour history. unless they were reminded by an employee of the dates.
I'm sure they have to be told what city they're in on any given night.

LOL for sure just like the movie "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium" if you are old enough to remember that movie

I'm still playing it safe saying we're jumping to conclusions thinking an informal jam session means a tour is likely. It's too soon to know one way or the other which way Jagger is leaning.
