Putting this out there to see what hardcore fans would think.
Of course, Mick's health is of the utmost importance right now, and thankfully all indications are he will make a full recovery and the show(s) will go on after recovery and rescheduling of the venues.
That being the most likely scenario right now, the only show that rescheduling isn't really feasible for is Jazz Fest (and maybe Burls Creek?).
From the Advocate as posted in the NO thread..
"Rolling Stones cancellation is the most devastating in Jazz Fest history"
"But who could possibly be an equivalent replacement for the Rolling Stones?"
[www.theadvocate.com]
Which brings me to my question..
What if The Rolling Stones (sans Mick) played the concert to fulfill contractual obligations etc.? I could see a show where Keith, Ronnie, Bernard, Sasha, et al share lead vocal responsibilities. And/or a "special guest" heavy concert with a variety of singers sitting in. A lot of performers will be in town already and many artists would jump at the opportunity to help Mick and the band out.
Sacrilege, I know, and fairly far fetched as well..
But if I had booked this trip mainly for this show, and they decided to do this as opposed to a replacement and/or no show at all, I could see getting excited about it.

So, it would be ok Macca going out now as The Beatles or Pete Townsend hitting the stage as The Who without Roger Daltrey?
We have in the past ridiculed "bands" who tour without many/most of their original members, sometimes in name only and WITHOUT any original members. Let the Stones BE the Stones.
If the contracts state The Rolling Stones how could the others go out on stage as The Stones without Jagger?

Great question and idea!
Maybe they could ditch Keith and Charlie and do and tour with replacements?
They could keep Ronnie, the name, and of course the iconic logo, Chuck, and Bernard.

The money for Jazz Fest is the least of the Stones' concerns - they're not renting out a stadium for 3 days to set up the stage etc, play, take down the stage etc (hotels, food, laundry, press and whatever the hell else).
I get your...enthusiasm. But it's beyond far fetched. With the Stones, it's either all or none.
To my knowledge, always has been that way, will never change.

What a nonsense tread.
The Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger are like a horse with only three legs, as far as live shows are concerned even more like a two-leg horse ...
