Forget NO and San Fran - the Stones are coming to MEMPHIS. The Birthplace of the Blues - ending it where it all started.

So , they're recording again? What's their motivation for this? To tie in with their 50th anniversary and its associated liceneses and product lines? So it won't be an album made because, well, they're asrtists and that's simply what they do?
I see.
Can't wait.

Well, if that's the criteria we're using, they could set up a stage at the corner of U.S. 61 & 49.

The start of a new album. I love it.
Can we safely assume that it's either the start of something. Or the end of something?Quote

I wouldnt go that far. Its a jam session. Maybe with a view to something more if all works well, but I think its a bit premature to assume its the 'start of a new album'.

That would be a wonderful surprise - and a great move by the band - if they played SNL. I hope it happens.
And if Wyman is with them, I'll wet my pants.

Certainly a possibility, rogue - whilst I'd heard Jagger would be hosting SNL I was surprised to read the press release which said he'd also be performing.
Unless, by 'performing' they just mean 'appearing in comedy skits' (which he will be)
I certainly wouldnt rule it out - and it would be a nice launching pad for an anniversary year - but I've tended to be a bit cautious down the years about rumoured 'one off' public appearances as theyve havent played a note of music in public outside of a tour for over three decades (eg the 'Jimmy Fallon Exile Week' a couple of years ago when three of the band appeared on the show and there were musical guests playing Exile songs every week - but the Stones still couldnt bring themselves to perform)
What DOES also add a bit of fuel to the flames is the fact that SNL airs on NBC - which is owned by Universal. Which also happens to be the Stones' record label.

great point about Universal. wouldn't you consider the brief performance at Julliard in March '05 as a non-tour "one-off" performance?
