Unfortunately they are driven by the dollar and if they can fill stadiums and churn out the bog standard stuff they will.Hopefully they will know when it’s time to quit and they check out Frank Sinatra’s final performances .
It’s a real shame that they don’t want to treat the diehard fans to some rarities in a club setting.Get Mick Talyor in for a few numbers too,and release the concert as a dvd.Instead it looks like we are gonna get the Hollywood show with the usual songs.How predictable and boring is that.
It’s sad that the money is more important than the creativity.But it’s been like that for too many years.This is the tragedy.

really it's not enough to fight endlessly and meaninglessly over whether keith is drunk onstage now we're pointlessly attacking countries we don't live in just to rile up fellow fans into angry defenses of there homelands

It is not certain beyond doubt, that is, with the large audiences in mind.

Well the last 2 shows was good. But not great. So do you feel they should hang it. Of course they will never officially announce that its over

So very typical Stones tour where they start out with 19 tunes in the set list and then one got picked off to 18 tunes and by tours end they whittled it down to 17 tunes !
You read my mind and I could not have said it any better at all . A lot of money for 17 tunes for sure !Quote

I don't typically make it a habit to engage in these kinds of threads, but I will say that for the kind of money the Stones charge for their shows, I think it is an insult to the fans to get less than 20 songs at a concert.
And yes, I get the argument, we should be happy that these almost 80 year old men are out there performing for the masses, etc, etc, etc. If other fans are happy seeing the Stones perform 17 songs in wheelchairs (not an unlikely possibility should they continue to perform), be my guest, but I wont be laying down the bucks for that spectacle. I've got lots of CDs and videos of the Stones in their prime to keep me happy....

Why would they stop?
So what if they are older and not able to play as well.
Not every venue is going to sound good. Keith can play out of tune if he wants.
We all miss Charlie but Steve has stepped up and done a pretty good job of it.
To all of you who think they should stop ask this.
Are you going to stop doing what you love to do?
Wasn't Chuck Berry still playing in his 80's?

Yes, Chuck Berry was playing in his 80s but it was sad. I saw him maybe 10 times, but I left my last Chuck's concerts in the half time break, almost in tears, it was unbearable. Do you want the Stones to end like this?

I have forever wanted to go to London and tour the palace and all that and a visit to RAH would cap it all off and be quite the feather in my cap or anyone's for sure ! Hang out in Hyde Park , get some Fish and Chips , visit the pubs , maybe visit St Andrews ( I am going to need a lot of $ ) Go to some of the guitar shops , the list goes on and on . Maybe see a football game at Wembley ! A must place to visit for sure !!!!!!!!!!Quote

Only 17 tunes...an anticlimactic ending for sure, and unfortunate as there were some great shows in the first half of the tour.
Good thing it was only 14 shows as the setlist might have been whittled down to only 10 tunes had it gone on much longer.
I think the days of "tours" might be over - when a mini-tour of only 14 shows becomes too much, the writing's on the wall.
Maybe a trio of shows at the Royal Albert Hall might be the best bet for the 60th, with the possibility of one giant festival appearance.

The thing here is not to ask if people have seen the Stones in 2021, but whether if people have seen the Stones before 2021 !
I won't be surprised that if they will keep on playin' sitting on chairs, there will be some people to claim it was great.
