I think it would be real punky/rebellious if they didn't do a greatest hits setlist. Afterall isn't that what Rock And Roll is suppose to be, or was.

I agree. Thanks. Since they are listening in we should take every opportunity to let them know what we want. If it wasn't for us I doubt Wyman and Taylor would have been considered for the 2012 anniversary tour. We have made the difference in many ways. They do care after all.

Well said. I agree.Keith always said the rolling stones are climbing new mountains. Prove it with new material only.

A set of all new material would be an extended bathroom and concessions break for most concertgoers. If they're only playing new material, charging top dollar would be crass. The old catalog is why people pay big money to see them.

Write new songs, believe in them, and perform them! If the Golden Anniversary is going to be truly special then it's time to retire the "recycles" (warhorses, etc.) once and for all! Been there, done that! Also, time to dump the stadium shows. Scale down! Clubs, theaters, and arenas only. 50 shows. Have the last show televised live world wide from Madison Square Garden on January 14, 2013 on the 50th anniversary of Charlie's first gig with the band.

Problem is, nobody...I mean NOBODY...is gonna pay those prices for tickets if the boys aren't going to play the hits. Arena or club, they aren't gonna play for less than they are charging now. @#$%& the new music...gimme the hits.

I do agree! The only way the Stones could be getting out of the "lazy Vegas act band" is to be just that "BOLD". Get back together and let go of everything that's been a obsticle during last year!
For gods sake, build some energy from the differencies and start working on a new album that will make a statement.
The competense and craftsmanship have been and still is a great feature for the Stones. So come on let's have it!
If you're going to quit, well then, leave in a blaze of glory not in the mass of greys, black and white!

Contrary, ...NOBODY is going to pay those prices to see them play those same hits they have seen them play allready thousands of times during their last decades of tours or TV concert airings, even if it would be the last tour. People will ONLY come a mass if they do something NEW!

Then dont tell them (and dont charge silly prices anyway - it changes people's sense of entitlement and expectancy to ridiculous extremes). How many people wait until they see setlists before deciding to buy a concert ticket?
Springsteen's pretty much sold out a stadium tour in Europe this summer. No one has heard a note of his new album, knows what its called, knows what the band line up will be - never mind knowing what he's going to play. Its hardly an unheard of phenomenon.
Its called having faith in an artist being able to deliver an enjoyable performance.
These 'fans' might like the unfamiliar material they hear. It happened before and people kept coming back.
And if they don't and decide not to come back..well, who cares? There wont be any more tours anyway.
