Like that.. I see Van's playing a few shows in your neck of the woods coming up.. Hollywood Bowl etc.,
as you likely know. Then Vegas again. Great to catch live, which isn't always easy.
Imagine if you will Van playing as many shows and to as many fans as the Stones have maintained. Quality and classy performances etc..
It wasn't meant as a dig at the Stones or even a comparison, just wishful/hopeful thinking.
If Van can do it, surely the Stones can do it?!!!!
As for live, I've seen him several times in the past including opening for the Stones twice, though one of them was cut short in Nijmegen due to torrential rain and lightening.
His current tour has quite a few more dates than the any of the No Filter legs had, and obviously it won't be seen by as many fans (he's playing small venues), but it certainly won't cost as much either.

As for paying more to see Van in Vegas, you should have also mentioned that for all the six recent Stones shows you attended you had Lucky Dips.
Van doesn't do Lucky Dips, but if he did I'm sure you would have bought those for Vegas making it a fair and square comparison!
But it's really apples and oranges in this case for so many reasons, and pitting the two up against eachother for any reason and/or comparisons is difficult.
But for the sake of it....
Van's recorded output since the Stones released their last album of originals in 2005:
Pay the Devil (2006)
Keep It Simple (2008)
Born to Sing: No Plan B (2012)
Duets: Re-working the Catalogue (2015)
Keep Me Singing (2016)
Roll with the Punches (2017)
Versatile (2017)
You're Driving Me Crazy (2018)
The Prophet Speaks (2018)
Yes there's been some covers amongst all of it, along with songs written by others, as well as duets, and of course some crap, etc., but no denying Van the Man has been a very busy man!
Not to mention the fact that he's been seemingly constantly touring during the last decade.
Listening to that new tune of his again right now, and it has that classic Van sound - there's really no mistaking it - classy with great/minimal production, excellent musicianship, and poetic/thought provoking lyrics.
This is my hope for a new Stones tune/album - something new that might have that classic Stonesy sound. Something of a similar quality to what Van has done, but of course being unique in it's own way.
Not a caricature of their former selves trying to mimic what they once were - simply a statement of who they are today without trying to reinvent the wheel - similar to what Keith did with Crosseyed Heart.

Well, the new music from ABBA is delayed until 2020.
And their last release was around 1982.
So, we have to be patient.....15 or so years is nothing really.

Can't tell them apart by name, but both are definitely HOT.
If forced (ha), I'd choose the blonde as she has that SoCal surfer girl look.
This song rocks! ABBA - Waterloo
The thread that keeps on giving with all of it's mysterious detours...

Just did a bit of research and didn't realize they both had solo careers in the '80's....
Frida, 1982
VS
Agnetha, 1983
Looking forward to the reunion.

ABBA broke up due to divorces and the fact that Agnetha Fältskog didn't want to tour anymore. The songwriting duo (Björn and Benny) and the band was intact. The well hadn't dried up.
They could have done a couple of more good ABBA albums after a while. They were still good friends within the band. Benny has been busy all the time with musicals and side projects.
A musician must keep busy all the time. I think the compilation albums after their career sold most copies. Funnily enough their manager had the rights to their music and sold those rights
(I think it was to Polygram). Which lead to a schism between him and Björn and Benny. ABBA Gold has sold more than 26 million copies.

We all do, but just think...when we're able to answer ABBA trivia questions correctly, we can tell people we learned it at the world's largest Rolling Stones message board.
IORR...it's more than just The Rolling Stones, it's a way of life.

just to name a few.

Meanwhile, Van Morrison is set to release another new album in October - his last one was released just last year!
New tune out now, and it's quite nice.
Van Morrison - Dark Night Of The Soul
Imagine if you will the Stones releasing a new tune of similar classiness and quality...

It wasn't meant as a dig at the Stones or even a comparison, just wishful/hopeful thinking.

His current tour has quite a few more dates than the any of the No Filter legs had, and obviously it won't be seen by as many fans (he's playing small venues), but it certainly won't cost as much either.
