In my opinion the concert is the reason, but the event is sometimes more important. Like meeting people and enjoying traveling to several cities. Lately I chose to see concerts in cities I haven't seen yet. That way it's more bang for the buck. Been doing this for a while now. Overall I would say this is a celebration of music and life shared between us.

Always after tours, I am out of energy. I can bike around like a zombie, I can do my shopping and all the regular stuff, like garden work and daytime work, but anything extra, like going to a concert, going on a holiday, anything else than just hanging around in the sofa, it's just a drag.
Normally, when there are no tours, I am everywhere. When the Stones did not tour, during 2009-2012, I climbed Kilimanjaro six times. Biking and running races every week-end. I am loaded with energy normally. But not now.
The Rolling Stones took all my energy. I hope it will be back in time for the next tour.

Agreed! It's a great experience

I totally agree with the sentiments eloquently expressed here regarding coming down after each Stones tour. It can be difficult to explain to friends who are not fans, or only casual fans, why we go to multiple shows and multiple tours. The gig itself is the culmination of the few days spent having fun catching up with other fans, seeing the sights and soaking up the atmosphere in whichever city we find ourselves.
Maybe the Stones are wrong and it isn't ONLY rock n roll, but a hell of a lot more!
