Keith already confirmed coming tour.

Keith already cleared the air on this in a Rolling Stone interview in October:

In October, while discussing the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary dates in London and New York, Keith Richards told Rolling Stone: "My experience with the Rolling Stones is that once the juggernaut starts rolling, it ain't gonna stop. So without sort of saying definitely yes – yeah. We ain't doing all this for four gigs!" [My emphasis added.]

Makes sense, The Mac IS headed out on a tour (_{and The Stones are primed})
although without Christine McVie, I think I will pass when it stops here.
Once upon a time I saw the Tusk tour from 3rd row center and it was amazing
I am not sure they could ever top that performance, the whole band was on it,
and Christine's sweet "songbird" was stellar... and Stevie was amazing... and etc etc

I think if they were to do 3-5 night stands in select cities for a tour, they would be pretty much guaranteed to sell out every show at the 2012 prices if they started to do full album shows. They could play Begger's Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Some Girls and possibly Exile in their entirety.

The 2012 shows featured 23 songs, some of which already factor from these albums, so by playing Sticky Fingers, that still leaves 13 more songs from their catlog to play. A show with the 18 songs form Exile could be like when Springsteen played his 20 song The River once in 2009 or like The Who playing Quadrophenia on the current tour, where it was the full album, then a few additional catalog songs in the encore.

There are enough hard core Stones fans that would have to see every show in their city to experience these unique shows. In recent years, the Stones have played almost every song off Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Some Girls, so they could definitely pull these ones off. These are popular albums even with casual fans, and even if a casul fan doesn't know all of the deep album cuts, there is still another 13 or so songs left in the set list of warhorses or others.

Playing Let It Bleed, Stick and Exile would also give them a chance to have Mick Taylor guest for the entirety of the album they are playing that night, giving him and the fans a much longer chance to experience him playing with them, while still keeping him separate from the rest of the show.

Didn't think it was possible, but the thread sets even sillier.

Is it better than 50/50 that there will be any shows at all? Maybe. Anyone think that the shows, if there are any, will be any different from the 'warhorse" laden shows they have been doing since, well, forever? Please, they are not learning all those songs.

What "first concert" ? Ah ok, the first concert in 1963, ok. Aren't the past that "50 Year and Counting" stuff though?

@24FPS - why do you write that OMS is not Keith's riff? Are you saying that it's Steve Jordan's riff, the man who's never written anything of interest other than with Keith? Actually I'd be curious to know if anyone's ever asked them how they collaborate? It would have to be SJ editing Keith's ideas?

Sorry, it's a reflexive dangling participle problem. I meant to say that Keith didn't write the riff to Doom and Gloom.

Inside the Rolling Stones' Reunion
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards tell all about the band's 50th-anniversary blowout
October 24, 2012

If Coachella slipped out through their new mobile app, the question is, is it first up? Why is anyone doubting the credibility of the slip? It was via their app. [Dainty, et al.] And the bona fides of the other event which was independently verified,...

What other indicators are there pointing to, suggesting, the when/where of beginning of the tour? — not "if."

He's right. They ended up doing five (Or seven. Or eight, if you want to split hairs)

I think they'll do a tour next year ok, but I wouldnt take a comment from one band member a month BEFORE the shows as a rock-solid guarantee. Had the recent shows been disastrous, I would have doubted the Stones - and Jagger especially -would have even seriously considered embarrassing themselves any further.

Couldnt agree less, quite honestly.

The amount of cities where they could sell three arena shows at those prices could probably be counted on one hand.

I doubt most would be attendees would be more attracted if they knew that half the show was going to be songs from one album.

These shows werent that hard to get tickets for even though there were only 2-3 shows per continent.

The shows "weren't that hard to get tickets for" because the vast majority of tickets were premium-priced. If they weren't charging $800 for tickets, they would have had no problems selling out the shows.
