CindyC, I love how you took that "possibility" very seriously.Quote

Here's a very real possibility. Tell me what you think.
What if during or right after one of the scheduled shows ronnie or keith died? I mean, Mick Taylor is right there on the scene, the tour is already booked....what do you think?
oh good call, it would merely be a bump in the road.
WTF? No Keith = No Rolling Stones. Everyone knows that but you apparently.

I would guess they will join the band for a middle-of-the-show segment.
Since there is no B-Stage, think of Taylor and Wyman as guest for 3 or 4 songs right after the Keith tunes...
Nothing more.
Nothing less.

That is hilarious! Hopefully if it happens it will be on the PPV. I can just see the look on Jagger's face if Keith keels over. Well, he always said he'd die on stage.

Bill's role is already planned - walking on stage picking up coins with his metal detector. He can do that during the whole show.

How about a bass/metal detector combo?Quote

So you're conceding that if Ron died the tour could possibly go on with Mick Taylor then? Is Ron more expendable to you?
I actually didn't see that you included Ronnie in there at first. But to answer your question honestly, yes Ronnie is more expendable. I still don't think they would finish up the tour. I was going to say it would be in bad taste, but they didn't cancel the Hyde Park show, so who knows.

The first guy is just a troll, but he accidentally reminded me of one interesting thing. I actually worked on a Stones tour contract many, many years ago, and in one of the drafts, if Mick or Keith couldn't appear, the contract was cancelled; if Ronnie couldn't appear, the guarantee was reduced, but the show went on; if Charlie or Bill couldn't appear, no change. I can't remember if that provision was in the final draft, but I remember feeling a little sorry for Charlie.

i'd like to see MT walk onto the stage and first demand all the royalties money he's owed before he plays a note. i'd pay to see that little drama unfold.
haha, yes! What if he gets hammered before the show and intentionally sabotages the concert?

I could see Taylor joining them for Love in Vain. It's a simple blues and it gives him an excellent showcase to solo. I'd love to hear that and Dead Flowers.

and then ronnie comes along and tries to imitate taylor note-for-note and the band and audience all have a good howl.
