I think 24FPS is refering to when Wyman left the band. 1990 was Wyman's last tour. I would say, like most, that 68-72 was their peak. Both live and on record.
All I’m saying is this 1981 1982 Tattoo You Album and Tours of USA and Europe
spiked your peak!
This cannot be denied!

Charlie I seeing calling it a career real soon
Stones fans have been saying this for decades. Its amazing how many people still take his blasé attitude so seriously.
Its not going to happen.
No one wants to be the guy who puts his foot on the brake and gets off the bus.
I'll refer everyone back to something Shirley Watts said about 20 years ago 'he'd never do it - he'd hate to let down Mick and Keith'
The Stones are effectively semi-retired anyway, its not as if they're potentially walking away from two-year tours of 130-140 shows. 14-15 shows a year is hardly going to wear them out.
There'll be no 'farewell' shows. They'll do this at a level they're comfortable with until ill-health prevents them from continuing or until we switch on the news some morning to find out one of them has gone to the great gig in the sky.

Right Gazz. And you know what, THEY HAVE NO REASON TO RETIRE!! If they continue to play as at high a level as they have on No Filter, they will go on indefinitely. Like Bob's Never Ending Tour. They just rock the venues! I saw six of the 28 on this tour. I mean, the second Paris show was the greatest Stones show I have ever seen, and I do go back to '75.

Okey, simple logic here. Because I said that I think 1968-72 was their best period doesn't mean that I think other "periods" are bad. For instance I'm an ardent fan of the 1981-82 period.
With Tattoo You and the "Still Life" tour. That got me into The Rolling Stones. It just so happens that I think, in hindsight, that the 1968-72 period was the crown of their career.
Both Live and on recordings. The 1969 tour and the 1972 tour. Beggar's Banquet - Let It Bleed - Sticky Fingers - Exile On Main Street. There is the "proof" for you.
I must say that I'm astound that this is seen as something out of the ordinary here. What has happened to this forum?

A bit OT, but just saw James Bay perform on Saturday Night Live, and have to say it sucked.
Not sure how well he was received by Stones fans when opening for the Stones (forget which city), but that might have been a tough one to endure.

Yo.
Tough to endure?
Nah.
Young Bay has a very good singing voice.
He missed ‘never, never, never’ que on ‘Beast of Burden’
Generous professional Mick gave him a 2nd chance
(let’s do it one more time at the band) then lobbed again the perfect
‘Never’ with a hand gesture (to you buddy)
but James
forgot his lines.
It’s okay tho.
Saved by the guitars.

Maybe you didn't like his music but he has a good singing voice and is a pretty decent guitarist - I missed most of his Twickenham warmup as I had to come after work, but saw him in his own right at the Isle of Wight the following weekend.

One note regarding "residencies" -- the Who did it in Vegas a year or two ago, and what about Bruce's Springsteen on Broadway stint? Why couldn't it work? Not saying it will happen, but there is precedent amongst some of their own great peers.

Gas Light Street I was joking about the decade date I know you’re a stickler for facts (thank god) but I booked my Twick flight home same day as show, I give up.
It’s all a random life blurred.
I framed my wedding invitation and hung it up in the lavatory so I wouldn’t forget my wedding anniversary. I still do sometimes. 1 year we both forgot.
I did enjoy listening to James Bay. I’m not dissin the dude.
And of course, Beast Of Burden rendered forever.
Anyway, I never miss appointments and am always on time, I don’t need a date intervention.
Lastly
I don’t think they’re touring again.[[/u]/quote]
What do you make of the references on Mick and the Stones' Instagrams to Warsaw being the last show of this leg of the tour? Implied there will be another leg surely? Or are they just teasing?
