They are 70 year old men they aren't going to have pop hits. The sooner Jagger understands this the better off he will be.

I mean, Taylor Swift? That's like having a concert in 1965 and having Lesley Gore on. Musically, it just doesn't make sense.

The Stones and Lesley Gore both performed at The TAMI Show. Not together but....I'm just sayin'..........
P.S. - When it comes to picking guest stars, Jagger is a putz.
I thought only GAGA sang that one so far.... I have to go look foe the full track list.Quote

The trouble is the duets album will have multiple versions of "Gimme Shelter."

I bet when The Stones release their album of live songs performed with some of the currently top selling artists (the guests on this tour) that The Stones (and Jagger) will have a top selling SMASH HIT album/CD/Download on their hands.
We Stones fans may not agree with some of these choices for guests, but there is no debating that they all sell a LOT of product and the perfromances have been pretty good and we already knew the songs they are singing on are great... so add that all together with the fans of the guests and how can it not be a SMASH HIT? Jagger is a genuis.
From Taylor... to Swift.... to GA GA.... to Katy, Bonnie, Taj and the rest... talk about wide appeal... WOW!!! it just might work!
PS
What made me think this might be the plan is how all of the guests are singing on different songs, it will make for a heck of a live Stones album.

HOLD BACK. Who are you talking about when you say they? The guest artists or the Stones? The Stones USED to sell a lot of product. Less people would be interested in this kind of release than they were in the dismal GRRRR. The best thing they've released in the past, oh, ten years is LIVE IN TEXAS. That didn't come close to burning up the charts.
It should have.
The special guests are probably a severe attempt to lure average music fans ie fans of those artists like Taylor Swift etc to the shows; it won't sell records regardless of the format. Although it's probably closer to being an effort to seem/look relevant by having those guests. The Stones are not relevant except of themsevles. People aren't driving from New Orleans etc to Chicago to see whoever the special guest is, they're driving to see THE STONES.
And if this is the last time would YOU be satisfied with another live album of the same songs with guest artists to be the last official new live release by the Stones of their last tour?
I would fall for one more live album from the last tour...of The Rolling Stones, with Mick Taylor. The rest of 'em - no way. Not relevant. In any way.

Dylan had a number one album in his 70's. I beleive making him one of the oldest no. 1 seller (Toney Bennet has the record)
The Stones could do it! If they really put their heads together and make a relevant album, not just a bag of Stones cliches about women and sex. They could write and perform a heartfelt album about their lives, losses, and victories that could captivate their fans and bring in new fans as well.

This IS NOT the last time!! Why do people keep loving to predict that?
This 18-21 stops tour thingy could go on..... forever.
