Not mentioned in the article, but perhaps omitted by the reviewer, was Eric Clapton.
Given that for Eric, the RAH is a special/Home venue that for many years he booked for a month of nights each year, missing him out of the film would be dreadful!
I doubt if many living lead artists have performed there more times than Eric! (Exclude members of some London based orchestras - that's why I wrote "lead artists")
(By jove, even *I* have actually performed there - yes, really!! And, separately, my partner as well.)

Yes, I remember seeing you perform there! 1983, Death of a Salesman, if I remember correctly.

Nope, that was the other Captain. Darned name collision again!
My performance was in my school choir at a live performance broadcast on the BBC of one of Mahler's works.

From WH Auden’s poem For Friends Only as read by Mick in the film:
Distance and duties divide us,
But absence will not seem an evil
If it make our re-meeting
A real occasion. Come when you can:
Your room will be ready
Sounds like it could be a hint and precursor for the possibility of Stones playing there for the 60th Anniversary.
Didn't see it mentioned in article, but wondering when and where we can see this film....

The stones could sell out a month of shows at that venue.

Over the last few years when the topic of conversation on IORR has been, 'When and where will the last gigs of the last Tour be held ', a lot of fans had agreed it will be London.
I think the same way and have always said Royal Albert Hall, and probably up to half a dozen gigs maybe spread over two weeks or more.
This thread has made me believe it even more, but I don't think anyone knows when it will be .
Charlie is getting very close to 80 years old and once this pandemic has really eased up a lot more all over the world, things will be a lot clearer I'm sure.

Provided the pandemic is eradicated, and If the Stones are still healthy enough to put in more shows at that point, I could see them closing out their performing days with a nice run of shows at the Royal Albert Hall.

The British Government is hoping the U.K. will be up-and-running by the summer time. Whether that’s optimistic, I don’t know. Covid will never be eradicated, so it’s just a question of living alongside it and vaccinating. The Stones will be onstage sooner than we realise, I hope.

The British government has been doing a s**tload of hoping of one sort or another ever since this c**p started, and a lot of those hopes have been dashed for one reason or another. The only hope(s) I personally have now are that (a) those idiot delinquents who (lets not forget this rather important bit) "live amongst us all" who do not intend to take the vaccine shot even if/when offered it actually come to terms with their own stupidity, relent, & subsequently do take it, and (b) the government dispenses with any further lockdowns and adopts the attitude that as a country - the UK must "learn to live with" COVID-19.
If both of those hopes of mine are to some reasonable extent realised over the forthcoming few months and/or by the end of the year, then from my point of view - things would be moving in the right direction.
Quite where we are with the live music industry being back in business, I wouldn't care to guess. I think a lot of things have to fall very much into place before the government is going to feel brave enough to permit the industry to come back to life, and most certainly in the way that it used to be. We have a long way to go yet I fear .........
