80 year old men in 30 or 40 degree weather is not a good idea.

Lyon, coming up...

Life's just a cocktail party on the street

I'm glad to be here, I'm glad to be anywhere! But ... now it's time for Latin America (2016) again. Or would AustralAsia (2014) be first in line?
America ... see you in 2024 Oh no, I forgot about Russia ... how do we PUT that IN?

Sorry, had a couple of beers

I'm a GHOST living in a ghost town

For me and many others I know, going to a Stones show isn't just about the setlist. It's the entire experience. Getting to see a new city, maybe for the first time, seeing that city come alive with fellow fans, getting to reunite with concert friends from near and far before/during/after the show. The concert is the pinnacle of the experience, but there's so much more than just those two hours for a lot of us. I think there are still plenty of people out there that are willing to pay big bucks to say they saw The Rolling Stones, too.

There's a lot of money to be made, still...It's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...

Agree 100%
Going to a Stones show is an exquisite alibi to travel
A wonderful excuse

50% for the Stones, 50% for discovering new places

I agree the fun is not just the show but the people and places. It works perfectly with 4 days between shows. Soon we will take our 6th trip to Europe just to see the Stones. Most countries I would not have visited if it hadn't been for the Stones. I am so glad we are lucky enough to do this. The world is a wonderful place to visit and the Stones have taken me to Europe, SA, Havana, and of course a whole lot of US cities and one show in Canada. As long as they tour, I have to work. The people we have met around the world, Stones fans and others, make it a fantastic adventure.

They can easily squeeze in a couple of mini-tours here and there, but I would think they will come back to the USA as part of the SIXTY tour- even if it's a year late in 2023, they will still be celebrating.
Personally, I've had my fair share of Stones shows in the past few years - six since 2019 (and 64 x since '81). Not sure I'd even bother to see them again at this point. Maybe with Lucky Dips and within a couple hundred miles.
Whatever the case, hope they continue to keep on rolling here, there. and everywhere...

30 or 40 degrees outside is a bad idea whether it's Fahrenheit or Centigrade!

And you get to meet great new friends like we did in St. Louis!

I would think a lot of where they tour would be in conjunction with where the promotor thinks the money is. With world economies being volatile right now, would Central/South America make sense?

Very good GL . For very different reasons of course. I'm going to Lyon and worried. Scottish skin really, really isn't made for 41c/100F heat.

Mick Jagger is working his a$$ each night and you all think they can do 10 more US dates this year?

Hasn't every single person on this thread been around for the last 10 years? It's one leg per year--done. People thought they'd double up on another tour last year because young gun Steve was with them--not the case. They're gonna be tired when this tour is over, they'll want a rest not shlep back to the US to do more shows.

Well I think he could...but that isn't really the issue. They don't have to and probably want to approach life in a balanced way. They love what they do but they have other priorities as well, and other people in their lives and other things they want to do in their lives.

They've got a great balance here.

This is IORR. It doesn't matter that Mick turns 80 next year. They're still boys to us, STEEL WHEELS was still just a few years ago in IORRian reckoning of time, and they're lazy bastards for not playing 50 shows a year and spending months in the studio knocking out albums. Time Waits for No IORRian.

Let's be real...it's not happening. Do you know exhausted they must be?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I hope you don't think I'm trying to be mean. Nothing would make me happier than a US tour but I don't see that, or any other tour. happening this fall.

I would not say it's not possible it could actually happen remember there tours these days consist of 14 shows with at least 3 days off in between shows so I'm sure they aren't as exhausted as you think.

I'm not sure why you believe this thread to be "cluttering." If BV believes it is, he will make that determination.

States are done

Ironically, it's often these kind of "lazy" threads that gets the most attention. The more elaborated threads just sink to the bottom. Tells you something about IORR, maybe? Or not...

Seems like you're trying to insult quite a lot of people and at the same time prop yourself up.

People that lack self esteem often behave in this way.

Really? I was travelling for 3 weeks catching shows (4 Stones and some others) and I am exhausted and I am not almost 80.

Omg I can’t take it anymore No! They aren’t coming

They've been working all their lives to get to this point where they can do shows not because they have to but because they want to. No doubt this is a luxury that almost no other band can have. Their trecks each year are basically summer vacations they get to enjoy with their family and their friends who they play with on stage.

Mick may look like he can do more shows but I think he and his trainer plan for these tours down to last minute and calorie. This has become more of an athletic venture now more than anything these days. So I can imagine part of what makes these legs doable is that there is a set and final endpoint to focus on.

Happy now that as was obvious to anyone with a brain he had to waste his time while he's on the road to move your useless lazy thread ? You're welcome.

Nothing to discuss here. Next leg is Europe again. They signed contract already.
