That has never happened on a tour with an album of originals.
It did on the ABB tour - some shows had ZERO ABB songs!
It never happened on a first leg, while touring an album of originals, that they played "2 new songs max" (that's what we're talking about here).

Oh I'm sure this new album, whenever it comes out, will have a huge amount of pomp and circumstance associated with it. Certainly a making of type documentary on Netflix which would be cool.......
Yes - wall to wall coverage would be interesting to see. The highs and lows, ups and downs, ins and outs, etc. of the never ending and difficult process of making a rock and roll album for a band in their '70's, interspersed with with brief family film footage clips of holidays and vacation time. Keith and Mick doing voice overs during the most intense moments (the Getta Grip setback, etc), while Charlie is shown occasionally looking puzzled and Ronnie doodling colorful song titles happy as can be.
On a semi- serious note, I'm sure it will be a historic occasion where the entire world will breathe a sigh of relief.
pls refresh our memories: what, precisely was "the getta grip setback" ... and what, exactly, did it set back?
my memory is:
1) mick had a couple of songs
2) keith didn't dig 'em
3) so mick recorded them with charlie and ron, then
4) released 'em as solo singles, and
5) keith was surprised
did this sequence represent a "setback" because had mick never released the singles we'd have had a stones album by now?
or is this just more of a general editorial comment on what you perceive to be the overall crappiness of the singles in question?
I don't think most people need their memory refreshed, but you covered it well and I would say yes to most of the above.
But no - even if Mick had never released them there probably still wouldn't be a new album.
As it stands he took time to record and release them, he took time to promote them, and he had videos made, etc., etc., etc - all the while he could have been focusing on the Stones album.
In other words it was a setback on the work in progress of the new Stones album. And yes, in my opinion the singles were crappy.
I really find it hard to accept that Mick's two tracks took him that much time or was even a distraction from work on the new album at all.
I bet Ronnie has spent considerably more time on all his 'projects' of late.
Unless there has been some studio work in December, I am more pessimistic about Mick and Keith having enough focus to complete the album any time soon.
We have Christmas hols coming up, then some sun in Mustique etc and Mick on the move to avoid tax penalties (he must be close to his 90 day UK limit).

That's great Ian, but I believe you highlighted part of a quote from jlowe and not me. Gotta give credit where credit is due, and that would be to jlowe!
Unless you're referring to my "Getta Grip setback" comment.
By the way have you heard the new Who, and if so how would you rate it?
They jury's still out on my end - heard a couple preview tunes which were great, but still waiting for my free cd to arrive in order to absorb it all start to finish.

y bad Mr. Hairball .. I thought it was you who commented that if the Stones don't get into the studio in December .. an album any time soon is far fetched.
However I must say .. tbh honest and in seriousness .. IMO if they do not make the studio this month or at the very latest some time next month I would think that they basically let the album go .. (they BETTER be recording within the next six weeks! ... or I have a fear that while I am sure they have plenty of material .. there would be not nearly enough that is 110% of quality to go on).

Have the Stones ever specifically said they're working on a new album? There's numerous media quotes attributed to insiders that they're working on tracks and the assumption is then made that these tracks will materialise on an album.
Yes, they have - all of them.

There's heaps of quotes attributed to them but going to into the studio but I'm struggling to find a quote where "an album" is specifically stated as the objective of going into the studio.
How confident are we that there's still an album in the works?

They could give a copy of the album away to people who purchase a ticket to one of their shows.

Most of the punters buying tickets for the live shows would prefer a free copy of Hot Rocks or Honk
Which is half of the whole problem !

The longer this goes on, a release during the 60th anniversary anniversary seems the most realistic option as they'll have something to show and "celebrate" as a functioning/continuing band.
If they put it out now or in a few months or in a year, that doesn't leave much to offer for the 60th, except maybe another deluxe remastered box set or something.
Look at poor Led Zeppelin - inactive for decades yes, but all they had to offer for their 50th was a big book with pictures....no new and/or unreleased material, and obviously no tour.
The Stones could do a special 60th anniversary tour, but that's not a guarantee based on their ages, health, etc. Maybe a ten night residency at the Royal Albert Hall or something, but again not a guarantee.
I think they'll continue to focus on touring now as that's where the money is, and take their sweet time with the album with a strategic goal for the 60th...a guaranteed celebration.
Only two years away which is not that long in the big picture.
In my opinion, the most linear "Modus operandi" now should be the new album out in 2020 with a "Brand new" Tour that continue in 2021 and 2022 (eventually in early 2023 with 5/6 gigs in NYC and London)...In 2022 there will be the Tour(Europe?!), Books, archive releases and a Greatest Hits with 3/4 or so new stuff not included in the new album...I think that this would be the best choiceQuote

Don't fool yourself - the Stones doing a "special 60th anniversary tour"?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They have the attention span of a gnat. The only thing special about it aside from "60" years would be the celebration of the same set list from 2012.

Lol...well I did add a qualifier - "Maybe a ten night residency at the Royal Albert Hall or something" and that nothing that far off in the future is a guarantee.
Realistically, there might be a GRRRR type compilation with a couple of new tunes on it (the only two they have completed and can agree upon)....60 and Counting....bring it on!

" anniversary anniversary", a Freudian slip maybe?

2022 is already set for the release of (and putative tie-in tour for) PLINK, their first live anthology as The Rolling Stones celebrate 40 years of tours with Chuck Leavell culling material specially edited from their official live releases commemorating each tour as well as the Eagle Rock and Ward Records Archival releases.

I'm looking forward to the limited-edition PLINK box set which includes ...
..., never-before-seen rehearsal footage of Keith, Ronnie, Charlie and Chuck attempting to play the Allman Bros. classic instrumental "Jessica" while Mick was out on his solo tour of Japan. All housed in a box in the shape of an electric piano made of recycled wood from Chuck's outhouse.
