I honestly think that a fall tour may be too soon for at least one of the 'big three'. Maybe even more than just one of them.
The Stones are fine. It's some of the fans I'm worried about.
Exactly Dean, and what's especially annoying is the cryptic way posters expect the Stones not to tour soon.
I noticed from your reviews you were very happy with how they delivered this tour to the real fans in spite of covid and cancer, the boys so wanted to deliver this amazing show, the pride that Mick and Keith especially showed in their work leaves us wanting more, why would a real fan pour negativity on that, these are The Stones, three men who do this in spite of low expectations, age and negativity, let them continue to defy expectations.
Nothing cryptic sir. I'm not expecting anything, one way to the other. Simply expressing a point of view. In my OPINION - as someone of a broadly similar age to Mick and Keith - this fall might be a little early. After all that would have them back on the road again in eight/ten weeks. A very short amount of time. But that is simply my feeling - not an enforced perspective, or any kind of directive. Neither trying to tell the band what to do. Or to criticise anyone for a different point of view to my own.
I do think there is an undercurrent of personal criticism and a hint of disrespect in some of the comments posted above. I may be wrong of course. But if I'm not, I really wonder why any discussion here needs to become so abrasive. It is neither necessary or beneficial to this thread, to the IORR site overall, and especially not to the band themselves. Surely equally committed, equally supportive, and equally enthusiastic fans of the Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band IN THE WORLD can agree to differ on small issues. After all we are ALL united on the most important point of all. We love The Stones!
If I am wrong in my opinion that this fall will arrive too early for the band, and they DO tour this October & November, AND if you attend any of the gigs, ENJOY!
You still haven't said which two of the three stones you think need a rest, that's crypric.

I have no wish to be cryptic at all. It is certainly not intentional.
Incidentally I am NOT saying that I think anyone needs a rest. What I'm saying is that I think at least one of the big three might WANT a longer rest. Their wish, not mine. I would NEVER presume to say what anyone else should do. Basically it is none of my business, and to pretend otherwise would be disrespectful and impertinent.
So who do I feel might prefer a longer break? In fact it is Ronnie. He has a lot of health issues, although seems to have happily overcome them. There may be some kind of Faces reunion, although details are vague. And he has a very young family too. I would not be surprised if he felt going again before Christmas might be too soon. And Keith might also prefer a longer break. But all of this is one man's opinion. Not any kind of instruction or direction.
I might well be wrong of course. I often am. Whether I am or not matters not one iota. I participate in the various chat threads here because, like Stones fans all over the world, I have ideas, thoughts, views and opinions. These are OFFERED as contributions to the conversations that take place here. Nothing more. Nothing less.
No one amongst my family or friends has the slightest interest in The Stones. IORR is my lifeline to Stonesland. A land where difference is respected, ideas are welcomed, debate is encouraged, and opinions are offered.
Long may it continue.

Keith certainly doesn't need to stop, Ronnie and Mick can ill afford to stop, that's how i see it, time is running out, let them carry on if they want to.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking GasLightStreet,
do i take people too seriously ?, don't know, why would anyone post if they wasn't serious about what they say/ hope for/ expect next/ disagree with etc.
How does it effect me ? look i just post and move on, post and move on, i'd rather not spend time explaining myself if you don't mind.
What do i think ? i'd like to see the Stones continue to tour, i think a year off now would be fatal , the way i see it the only way they can continue is to continue, physically they can still do this because they do this, because they keep going, to take a long rest now would be the end because of their ages, that's what i think, if someone else thinks they need a rest then that's cool by me. As you say Mick and Keith will do what they decide to do, i would go further and say Mick and Keith will do what Mick decides to do.

I think a year off would be too long as well. Very hard to get back up in the saddle after a year. I'm still not sure they will want to tour this fall. But maybe something in early 2023? That is around 20 weeks from now. Were it not for Christmas they might be ready to roll in early December. But I really can't see them splitting a tour either side of Christmas and New Year.
But what the heck do I know? My family would answer, resoundingly, 'Nothing' So they might be back out there next week for all I know. And as you say so wisely, they will do 'what Mick decides to do'...

He hardly moved but played well (and we come to hear him play in the first place not to see him move, don't we?)

Absolutely not, love Keith doing his moves.
That like saying we come to hear Mick sing not move.
