This is nothing to be feel sad about. I don't want to see an eighty year old Mick Jagger with a weak voice and feel like ''he used to be so good''. It's better to let everything has it time. There's still plenty of relevant material in the vaults. They're still sounding decent but I would rather see them retire than see them become a exhibition act like Chuck Berry.
In that respect i wish they has retired last year, 2016 has seen a decline in their performances. Especially Ronnie, he was poor in SA, but the year before he was as good as ever.
I thought Ronnie sounded very good in Vegas and Indio. To my ears anyway..

if they will tour India, i will be there. Great country, good food and nice people.
Just want to hear from the stones themselves, that the end of touring is approaching.

No.
His solos were awful during the first show at Desert Trip. Even ridiculous (Start me up. Come Together...) The rhythm playing was average. And sorry but Keith was out too...Quote

He wasn't as good in South Africa as he was last year.
Yet it's still 2016

... Maybe its time to rethink the whole thing. I have some high hopes for the blues record. If it is good & does well, maybe they should think about scaling back & going that route...

On the tour page there's a review from someone who was there. He wrote this:
Now the Boston Herald published that Robert Kraft would have mentioned that this show was going to be legendary as it was possibly going to be the last show in the US ever. I can’t say if this will be true or not, or even if he has said that, because he didn’t say that on stage. However, one day it will be the last time, but if you ask me, this wasn’t it. Time will tell.

A gig on Djeema El Fna in Marrakech would be magic! The Berber culture in Morocco (and Marrakech in particular) has a fantastic musical inheritage that also influenced The Rolling Stones. No place in Africa plays such an important part in The Stones mythology as Marrakech. Keith, Mick and Brian travelled regullarly to this very special place in the late 1960s – and as you all know, they recorded interesting stuff with locals. It would be the most natural place in Africa to perform, although you could argue that Morroco is not part of the “real” Sub-Saharan Africa. Djeema El Fna is a huge square normally occupied by musicians, jugglers, dancers, food stalls and snake charmers. The flutes on the beginning of “Continental Drit” is just like the sound of Djeema El Fna as I remember it.

Hard to believe they will never go back to NYC.
If this is true, I suspect the reason is that Charlie is done.

No, that is Keith's flightcase.

Thankfully it's not Keith himself.

As mentioned, they could follow the Dylan game plan of scaling down the shows to smaller venues.
They could take it a step further by hunkering down at the smaller venues for a few weeks at a time vs. Dylan's 'Neverending Tour' strategy of meandering around the globe.
Royal Albert Hall, London - 20 nights would sell out easily.
Radio City Music Hall, New York - same as above.
Dolby Theater, Los Angeles -ditto.
Then throw in a couple of multi-millionaire private gigs to offset any costs.
Or they could do the Vegas thing like many other bands/artists...multiple nights at Caesars Palace ala Elton John.
You come to them rather than they come to you.

Why should they play 20 RAH shows? That would mean 2 1/2 months. Complete nonsense.
