Also number will go down drastically during the warmer months and I am sure there will be a lot less corona than during the US tour. So - let's do it! I am in. Take my money already.

Don't assume that. They could find a new super variant that is vaccine resistent by then, or any number of things. Traveling between various countries presents al kinds of logistical challenges. Europe seems overly lockdown happy anyway, and I don't think there is the drive to get life back to normal like there is in the states.
I'd say right now it's 50/50 on any large concerts happening in continental Europe in 2022. Springsteen hit pause on his European tour announcement. Ozzy postponed his European shows until 2023. As we speak, concerts are being cancelled all across Europe. I think all of these festivals being planned across Europe booking multiple artists are nuts... when you try to plan for MULTIPLE bands, that makes the logistics even more complicated.

Concerts in France are all sit-down now, with capacity maximums: 2000 indoors, 5000 outdoors!

Landgraaf gave permission for a concert on june 12 2022 on the same venue as Pinkpop. Maybe an oudoor show in the Netherlands for the Rolling Stones ? And it sound logical if they don't do Belgium and Luxemburg in 2022.

Bruce Springsteen rumour
Bruce Springsteen tour is cancelled ;
"En inderdaad: Bruce Springsteen was de artiest die op 12 juni 2022 had moeten optreden op het Megaland terrein in Landgraaf. Dat wordt nu bevestigd door De Limburger."

Whatever they do, and if they're even able to do it due to the pandemic, best if they keep it below 14 shows.
Seems they lost most of their wind at the half way point of the US tour and sort of puttered along to the anticlimactic shortened standard setlist finish, and I imagine it's not going to get any easier as they age.
I doubt they want to live in a protected bubble again, so might be easiest and safest for a residency somewhere so they don't have to travel - maybe Royal Albert Hall, or somewhere larger so they can rake in more money.

Hello,
After reading the reports about the shows in this last Leg of No Filter 2021 Tour in the US, I had not the idea that the second half of the Tour was bad, or average, at all.

Lol.
Cause it wasn't.
Good takeaway though.. reading first hand reports > listening to butt-hurt posters.

I attended 9 shows starting with the LA area shows and going through Hollywood,FL. In that run I only missed Detroit. There wasn’t any drop off in the band’s performances as suggested. While I was disappointed in Austin dropping to 18 songs and Hollywood to 17, those shows were each still at least 2 hours long and were as energetic as the earlier ones I saw.

Well, to defend Hairball: Some of Keith's intros were a bit tentative during that tour. And during the last gig Keith sat down on a couple of songs in order to get things right.
And on the last, super expensive ticket wise, gig they were down to 17 songs. 90 percent warhorses. It's not a crime to be critical thinking. Even on a fanboard.

Yeah... the detractors will look for and cite the occasional missed notes or sitting for a few, a negative revue, etc (standard RS tour stuff) as proof.
Laughable..
The resident doom n gloom crowd who predicted such dire straights for the band and this tour have to to clutch at something to try to save face.

Steve Jordan said they were super focused up until the L.A. shows due to the critics and reviews, and after that they didn't worry as much, ie they became sloppier and lazier.
Many of us watched and followed and read all the reviews, and have friends who were at some of those latter tour shows who felt they were clearly in a decline.
A few who were in attendance at the final "special" show were upset and practically felt betrayed at the short/standard/safe setlist, and the fact they spent good money, traveled from afar, etc.
But of course there are those who love every second of every minute of everything the Stones do on (and off) the stage, but not sure what type of reality they're living in.
That said, there should be room for all types of opinions including the good, the bad, and the ugly...imo.
From Dean Goodman, Hard Rock live, Fl. show:
"The good news: Fans now know they can safely ignore any home video release of Tuesday's depressingly truncated tour finale at the Hard Rock Casino.
They’ve heard it all a thousand times. The bad news: it was an expensive lesson for the 7,000 folks who forked out big bucks to act as extras in the Stones' latest heist.
But it's more than the cost. It's the sinking feeling that sets in after about five songs when you realize the Stones just don't care."
