but the big differnce is: Jagger didn't dare to take his solo tour to places that really matter, i.e. the USA, the UK and Europe.
It was relatively easy to sell out big venues down under and espically in the far east since Western artisted rarely toured there.

So basically Mick had to play a concert of only solo songs in Afghanistan to not get flamed on here

Lol...calm down retired dog....if there's any such thing as "Keith vs. Mick bullshit", we clearly know which side you're taking with your imaginary defense and rationale of everything Mick does, and your anti-Keith stance.
And I thought for sure you'd be going after GasLightStreet's detailed reply to you that he posted above instead of constantly stalking me around here - now that is weird!
What GasLightStreet and you did not get is that my comparison was tongue-in-cheek (at least a bit!), but cool to see you both waste your precious time to jump on it.
Apart from that... people like you want to be stalked. You simply need it. Right?

Mick n Jeff did have a large tour planned , I always thought US dates had gone on sale and did not sell well, but cant really find anything to back that up
This story is from the October 8, 1987 issue of Rolling Stone.
Mick Jagger's first solo tour has been postponed. The tour had been tentatively scheduled to begin in Europe and reach the United States by October 87, although specific dates were never announced. Sources insist that the delay is mainly due to Jagger's wanting more rehearsal time with his band. But another reason could be the last-minute departure of guitarist Jeff Beck, who is featured on Jagger's new album, Primitive Cool.
At press time, Jagger was in London promoting the album and planning additional rehearsals with the rest of the band, which includes guitarist G.E. Smith, keyboardist Phil Ashley, bassist Doug Wimbish and drummer Simon Phillips.

Very poor tongue-in-cheek! How is making a valid point asking to be stalked? It's only about the context of "solo artist".
If Bono did a solo album or two and went on tour, of course he'd play some U2 songs, but it's very unlikely the set list would be dominated by U2 songs if he's going out as a solo artist.
Roger Waters HAS to play Pink Floyd songs, hell, he names his tours after Pink Floyd songs or albums, because no one would show up otherwise.

it was because Jeff Beck bowed out which was probably partially the reason. Even if the initial speculation of not selling well is inaccurate, Mick probably saw the light and realized it was doomed to be somewhat of a failure. As for Jeff Beck bowing out, probably one of the wisest decision he's ever made - he probably decided on that because he didn't want to be part of a glorified Stones circus/cover band and realized how ridiculous it all was.

My stalking-comment was aimed exclusively at Hairball who complained about being stalked by me because I singled him out for his anti-Jagger campaign on an almost daily basis, and that's not limited to the "solo artist"-context but appears in almost every thread where the name Jagger appears in whatever context and where you can see that Hairball has added comments.
Apart from that, I ask myself if we can really speak of full-blown "solo careers" considering three album releases by Keith and four by Mick in all these decades (not years!) and the handful of live shows they actually played, that constitute nothing more than little episodes in the big picture imo.
Episodes btw., and I repeat myself here because I've said it again and again, that I find largely superfluous because a substantial amount of Mick's and Keith's solo material could as well have been recorded by the Stones - what would have given us one or two good to even excellent Stones albums and a lot more recent (well...!) material to choose from for the Stones live setlists.

I could do all kinds of things. I could go very commercial - very, VERY commercial American pop. Or I could go for just ordinary, straight rock and roll, in an English way. Or I could mix it up: some very... you know, some HITS, and some things that are a bit more experimental. Outside of this kind of mainstream rock. More like the stuff Material does. Slightly left of the mainstream, you know what I mean? You could do some interesting things in that area. I have a lot of stuff. I think I'm gonna do it relatively soon.

I'd like to explore as many areas as I can, and at the moment I thought I should do more solo work. In a band, everyone is supposed to contribute, which is a wonderful way of making records, but there are other ways of making music. And I had a very clear idea of what I wanted to do and should sound like. The other musicians are very talented and they had ideas, but most of the things came out as I planned them on demos.

Interesting point of argument.
I sometimes wonder if Ronnie’s solo spot on a Stones show worth considering, maybe one song if not two — I Can Feel The Fire or Seven Days. Bad idea?

A Ronnie spot doesn't really make sense, does it? I mean Ronnie doesn't sing lead vocals on any Stones songs while Keith does. Thus Ronnie's songs don't have to do anything with the Stones except that he's a member of the Stones.
And Keith' solo spots don't feature songs from his solo album either.

I remember, when the group held the press conference for the Steel Wheels tour at Grand Central Station, NYC, a reporter asked them if they considered playing songs from the solo albums, to which Mick replied, “No solo material!”
