i feel that there´s a strange silence after the tour. No interviews at all, not too much appearances either (apart from Ronnie, but he´s not talking), no declarations...
What is happening? Did they dig the tour or not? are they happy apart from the millions they coolected? Are they satisfied? Will we have a DVD or CD?

I guess nobody realizes that the longer things go, the less likely it is that they will ever do any more shows. They went back to their lives, which I doubt consist of doing what they used to do after a tour when they were in their 20's.
I agree with you, but if I work 3 days a month during 12 months, you won't tell that I have worked one during on year. And honestly about quality time, they got it during the 50 past years. Now Keith always said that he was a lazy man, and now at 70, nothing will change. But I agree, we must keep in mind that they are around 70 now.Quote

They had all been on tour for the best part of 8 months and most of them are in their late 60's early 70's, they have families, grand kids, stable homes and health issues. I would hope they are having a good long rest and some exotic holidays. I think we sometimes forget that time moves on and they are never going to embark on 24 month world tours anymore. THis last tour was an absolute success, they proved that they are still one hell of a rock n roll band andI for one was amazed at the quality of playing and overall performance. I'm sure we will see them again, but let them have some quality time and a break to re-charge, these guys have spent the best years of their live touring and recording surely no one begrudges them their twilight rest and relaxation before they return.
