As far as MSG- It's a venue (not just for music) of lore. So many classic shows, not to mention hockey games, basketball games, boxing matches have taken place there. But NYC is not the same NYC of the 60s and 70s. MSG is still a special hall but there's no grit or funkiness to NYC these days. Times Square is all neon and chain restuarants, gone are the days of pimps and peep shows. MSG has been redone, people aren't standing on chairs and going bonkers when the band hits the stage. The hype of MSG is more a thing of legend, no longer a magical place on it's own.

I agree w Kurt, I don't see MSG as the home of the Stones as much as the home of legend.

I was reading a list of the top tours of the 2010s the other day and the Stones were something like 18th out of 20 during the decade.
It’s amazing how far they’ve fallen really,8 years in and they have no new music and it seems everyone from Springsteen to U2 and even Coldplay have done more concert business.
McCartney had two tours that outsold No Filter and with a couple of top five records and now a number 1 seems to have really outworked the Stones the last few years.
We’re debating about them playing MSG as if it’s 1975 or something,everyone plays the Garden nowadays and sells it out. Like someone said, Phish plays there all the time.
If I were the Stones I’d be nicer to my fan base because it’s getting smaller all the time.If the record bombs They have maybe one more tour of big places and then it’s on to the Indian casino circuit.

Why is NYC such a big thing? I’ve seen better shows in places like Hersey PA. and Buffalo , Ny. Better crowds too

bc NYC is the biggest and most commercially important city in the world. If you can make it there...you can make it anywhere...NY NY.....

If I compare San Diego to Buenos Aires it's two totally different things. San Diego was doctors and lawyers in their 60s, drinking white wine and taking their wives out for a nostalgic evening w the Rolling Stones at $600 a clip. Buenos Aires was 80k rabid fans raging from age 14-70. So rabid they didn't even sell beer in the stadium. There was nothing nostalgic about it. It was electric, relevant, cathartic, life affirming rock and roll!

Meh.
Feel free to post a link to this mysterious article's slant.
What is true, is every time they've toured in the 2010's they've been at or near the top in terms of attendance records and revenues per show. What is also true is they can sell out any venue of their choosing, any time of their choosing.

Because these aren't really "tours" in the usual sense, just small limited runs of shows.

Probably, that won't happen after they parted ways with Michael Cohl..

Canada (continent-wise) is probably included in the North-American tour plans
