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?

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.

Because Bruce is playing 5 shows a week in a 850-seat theatre that he gets for free and he doesnt have any band or hotel expenses. Even if his average ticket prices are, say, $500, thats a nightly gross that the Stones wouldnt even get out of bed for.
What makes the whole thing impractical from a promoter or venue's perspective are the band's contracted guarantees and the fact that they only play two shows a week. It basically restricts their future touring formula to one nighters at very large venues.

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.
I missed his warm up too thanks to the ridiculous queues at security, merchandise, bar, and toilets - just everywhere at Twickenham (I'm still bitter about that long walk back to London!) but I enjoyed his Beast of Burden. His excitement at dueting with Mick was rather sweet to see. I love it when the Stones work with new talent.

Looks like the last of "No Filter"..
Glad for that, was hoping for a name change on the next one

One may fear that the only change to a possible new tour will be for the name of that tour.
Hey, it's better than McCartney's upcoming "Freshen Up" tour (sponsored by Eve's Summer Douche, no doubt).

If they were honest, they could call it "The Setlist Remains the Same Tour" or "Oldies but Goodies Gather No Moss Tour", and if I'm honest, I'll still go to at least one within driving distance and at the right price - it's tradition!
Keep on rolling...bring us the warhorses, and with any luck something from a new album of originals, or at least something original that's "newer" than Tattoo You.

Chopin and Mozart were always among his favourites, I believe

Gosh Eric, you ARE getting old -- one show, within driving distance, say WHA??? U used to go to Europe for several shows, at least on the Licks tour, I think it was.
BTW, that is a great pic, Mick's face almost looks like a painting.
