Good post, Torres!
However, they are 70 year olds - not an active band in that sense.
And this is a celebration of 50 years - for all

Hi,
This is my 1st post on this forum, although I've been following it since the late 90's.
Once in a while people here discuss that those who went to the concerts had a great time, and that's want counts. In the end, this means that ultimately we could a have a "Rolling Stones on Ice" tour. with guests, ballerinas, you name it. It would be really entertaining, for all the family, and I bet that in the end people would say they had a great time. And they could even say every of the 600 bucks was well spent. "Amazing how Mick can ice skate at that age! Let's just be thankful that they are still rolling (sliding)!"
Sorry for the long post. I guess the "Doxarites" are starting to come out. It's the Taylor Swift effect.

Part of the appeal of The Rolling Stones used to be that they were the exact opposite of family entertainment.
Remember that?
Anyone?

Hello Torres
I think I understand your points.
But...Rolling Stones are the Rolling Stones...the most wise band in business, a bunch of extraodinary clever and intelligent people. Their key to success (amongst other things) has always been knowing what exactly to do at any time to be successful in business. They even have been clever (and lucky) in their excessess (coming out alvie after taking tons of poisonous dust, for instance).
If they had behaved like Miles Davis....Rolling Stones would not have lasted 50 years. No way. Impossible. They are not that kind of musicians. Imho.
(phew...how difficult is expresing thoughts in english....)

................................................
The common denominator here for me is the lack of an artistic component. To go on like this now, for the sake of pure entertainment, can only mean that either they consciously discard the importance of a legacy and do what it takes to maintain themselves popular to big masses, or that they were never so much aware of their cultural dimension in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. And I believe this heritage is being affected by these shows with their "diversity", even more than during the 00s shows.

i do. they hated families and were hellbent on destroying them. they failed, of course, as we know now and decided that if you can't beat 'em, might as well join 'em.

They could save some face by using a T-shirt canon and letting some merch rip...

There should be a creche.
And a dedicated sign at the side of the stage "Baby crying in Chalet No 37".
37 is just an example obvously, they would have other chalets.
What about Bingo at half time?

It all begun with the stadium rock. The beginning of the inevitable end. The last true Stones concert (not a show) took place in October 1973.

The last full and true Rolling Stones concert took place in Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium, Athens, Greece on 17th April 1967.
Additional session musicians onstage and a replacement guitarist is not true stones. ><
