Whenever they end, I hope it's before they have gone so far downhill that they have become pathetic or a joke. Some performers carry much too long, to the bitter end. Much better to go out on a high if possible; at the very least, not on an all-time low.

We can always count on Mistra Knowitall.
Yes, Brian became a mess. But there was a time when he counted for something
within the Rolling Stones, who would not have existed without him.

Keith's well recieved crosseyed heart gives some hope that their's still a glimmer of creative life in the Stones. I'm sure we are all hoping the expected new album will be good. Perhaps we've got a bit to go yet..

At this point, I no longer doubt Jagger. Yes, 80 truly does seem ludicrous, but if anyone can pull it off, he can.

True Turner - after Keith's Crosseyed Heart, there's still hope for the Stones!
In a live setting not so sure how long they can hack it...every tour the shows get shorter.
When Charlie has finally had enough touring (which he already claims to despise), that will be the end as we know it.
Maybe some random new studio recordings after that and/or a continuously dredging up and releasing nuggets from the vaults...
In the meantime, they're still recording and playing live - it ain't over yet.

That's simply not true. If you look at the show times from 2016 they play longer nowadays than on most Licks and Bang shows. Yes they sometimes only play 19 songs but they play many long songs.

I should have been more clear - the setlists keep getting shorter, but you are correct at the length of time.
With a shorter setlist (albeit with some extended/longer songs), there's less to remember and they're basically on autopilot.
As mentioned above, Brown Sugar does not need to be extended beyond it's original length - it's a bit monotonous. "I said yeah, yeah, yeah whoop dee doo".
Also, the extended Satisfaction could be better served if it was trimmed of some of it's fat.
Back in the day, it used to be something else when Mick and/or Keith would run the entire length of the stadium stage extensions during these extended versions, but that doesn't happen anymore. Or they'd all be out at the b-stage (arena or stadium) - again that doesn't happen anymore. Now it's basically Mick clapping in place, and Keith hunching over his guitar with an occasional kick at the air. And Ronnie posing and making funny faces.

Agree on Brown Sugar.
Mick clapping in place? Hairball, I guess you missed him zipping around the tongue incessantly during the pit shows...among others.
