No shame on me whatsoever. For those who choose to go, good for you! I hope everyone has a great time! And I'm sure you will. And I honestly and sincerely mean that. But there is definitely no "shame" involved with my decision that I want my last show to be Chicago 2019 with Charlie. Zero shame at all and neither should there be.
I completely agree with every word of your comment. There is no shame in your decision or in my own identical decision. I'm really surprised at the critical tone of BV's comment. Surely each of us has a right to hold the opinions we do.
Everyone grieves in their own way. Every true Rolling Stones fan will want to mark Charlie's death in whatever way works for them. For me that way is to step aside in a spirit of respect, feeling that, FOR ME, The Stones without Charlie is simply not The Stones. But that is an entirely personal decision. I would never tell anyone else how to mark his passing.
And, good people, if you are one of those people who wants to mourn Charlie by rocking out to whatever group on musicians stands on stage in the name of The Rolling Stones, then I hope, pray and fervently wish you every joy in doing so.
Agree completely with your, and all of our, right to mourn Charlie in any way they choose, of course.
Respectfully though- calling them "whatever group on (sic) musicians stands on stage in the name of.."- is disrespectful to those that (correctly imo) disagree with you as well as the band. Exactly the type of comment that would warrant the "shame on those who.." remark.
Have lived through every core personnel change they've had, and every time someone could have, and did repeat the same.. "Not The Rolling Stones without" nonsense. And of course it's still The Rolling Stones- every time.

Ok I have come in late here.
Why are they playing a private concert for Krefts. Obviously money. Absolutely disgusting,
This is not in memory of Charlie merely contractual obligations and fulfilling insurance Companies.
Sad that it has come to this.Deep sympathy for Charlie and immediate family.
Where is the band and Rebels that I loved ? I guess sucking up the dollars.
You made a grown man cry.

I'm totally mystified as to why you find my comment disrespectful.

I'm equally mystified as to why you wouldn't think "whatever group of musicians stands on stage in the name of The Rolling Stones" is offensive.
No biggie though. I see that you really believe it's not disrespectful, so no disrespect intended it would seem.
A lot of emotion wrapped up in all this, and I would never judge others on how they choose to deal with it now or going forward.
Looking forward to the tour

Being cheated out of their catalog did turn them into money-chasers, and Mick turned them into a business with the comeback tour.
No judgment, just factual. But it has made them less interesting and less adventurous.

Someone mentioned no B stage songs on the list, I think Memory Motel would certainly work there
