That seems like as close to a confirmation that a tour is coming without actual dates and cities, doesn't it?

Or its as close to a firing as you can get.
Nah, I'm just joking. It does sound like they have something prepared but you never know with the Stones. And Darryll is just as much a professional as the Stones. He does an admirable and thankless job on bass. Listen, we just can't have Bill, and if it wasn't Darayll it would be someone else, and he's proven to be very good so far. I never understood the complaints against him, aside from people just being sore about Bill.

Darryl plays several of Bill's lines. Miss You, ER and SMU come to mind.
However, he adds new lines as well, making what's simple and effective more complex and perhaps less emotional. That's where it gets too much for me sometimes.
But that's me...

It sounds like you're defining the nature of jazz there, whereas Bill's rock-sense of "giving the bottom some balls" as he puts it resulted in soul, in feel.
The difference between detached jazz complexity and instinctive, simplified rock feel is the problem some have with Darryl's playing.
It's a good thing the decision for Mick Taylor's replacement wasn't left up to Charlie as well, otherwise we'd have had a jazz-fusion outfit by now.

Darryl Jones has grown on me as a player and a professional sideman, he has done a fantastic job over these past 20 years.Despite his technical prowess his feel & sound do not come close to Bill's imo.
Nevertheless, credit where credit is due he has stepped up to the plate

Just listen to bass playing on these two clips. Bill is all walking all over the fretboard. Darryl is concentrating on the key notes.

What does it mean, 'The Stones are true professionals'? Is that a good thing? They go out every night and play the same songs every night, attempting to play them as close as possible to their originals. That sounds like a freakin' job, instead of an artistic triumph. In that sense Darryl is a true professional then, plunking away at his bass, meandering at the bottom, never making an emotional connection.

They are probably the most un-rehearsed band among the bands in the top league worldwide. Always have been, and it's part of their charm

Not exactly true. They have rehearsed that show and set list of theirs decades now...

No, they haven't. A couple of weeks effective rehearsals each time hardly make decades of rehearsing - unless you count stage time as rehearsals

Sometimes 2 gigs are more effective than 10 rehearsals...

Absolutely. It just too darn sad for the guinea pig-audience
