Talking of "dynamite riffs", I wonder what Keith would consider his "dynamite riffs", if any, over the past 40 years to be ?<<<<

They may not rank high on the streaming list, but Hand Of Fate and Slave are two of my favorites.

Pretty exciting to now be less than 24 hours to the official announcement of an album of new Stones compositions!

Ronnie just posted another teaser where Jimmy Fallon appears.

I despise Jimmy Fallon but loved the Stones in Exile week he did in 2010 to promote the Exile reissue. Each musical guest did a different cover of an Exile song and it was a great week with other fun sketches that Mick and Keith were in

They did it right. The whole Exile week was phenomenal.

Took them down for a moment but now back up on Fallon’s Ronnies and Stones socials.. That Stones phone looks like one of the ones on Charlie’s desk at end of She Was Hot video

Wednesday set to be pretty much the hottest day of the year in London, in more ways than one.

So, the consensus seems to be that there will be an announcement/press conference at The 'ackney Empire on 6th.

There are two unknowns.

The first is whether or not there will be some sort of stunt (blimp-style). Rumours of Mick sky diving in are wholly unfounded.

The second is whether or not it will be streamed on any social media so that we can all, subject to timezone, watch it as it happens.

"Hackney Archives is closed from 10am to 2pm on Wednesday 6 September for staff training. Normal opening times resume from 2pm onwards."

"staff training" – good one. I like their humor.
But being closed for the public between 10am and 2pm rather sounds like it going to be a press conference or a exclusive listening party than a live performance

I’m liking the campaign so far, but who decides on that level of tackiness?

Please pleassse pleazzze tell me this won’t involve another of Fallon’s Jagger ‘impersonations.’

(Viewer advisory warning re: the below link.)

(You’ve been warned.

Wait, who threw Hackney Archives into the mix? I thought it was Hackney Empire??

Now I'm getting confused! The Archives just looks like a library, surely the Empire is a much more likely venue?

My commitment at the hospital is going to interfere watching this. Do you think it will be on YouTube after. Dying to see this

The Stones are advertising this as "New Album. New Music. New Era". I get the first two, but do they already constitute a new era, or is there something else we haven't yet figured out?
And before you ask, yes, I very much enjoy to completely overthink all of this before wednesday

New era maybe new songs with a new drummer my guess

Hackney Empire is the venue.

Nice! Thanks Topi

Also, who caught the joke about Fallon blowing dust off the phone (presumably because it hadn't been used for so long!)

I've been thinking about the New Era thing as well. New Era of touring where they take up a residency at smaller venues like the Hackney Empire for a few weeks is my guess. Pulling back from the stadium shows and scaling it back to more intimate concerts.

This is all highly exciting. They really know how to generate a buzz and make an event out of an announcement.

'New era' is just marketing hype, obviously

Imagine the surprise if Bill were to join them towards the end of the Q & A! Even if not in person, then a virtual appearance via live feed on a big screen.
For that matter, they could have everyone who was involved in the album appearing virtually - multiple live feeds simultaneously like a patchwork on a big screen grid.
Including Chuck L., Darryl J., Steve J., etc., and even some of the other special guests making brief cameos - Paul McCartney, Ben Waters, Elton, etc. Maybe even Don Was and Andrew Watt!
In all seriousness, having Keith, Mick, Ronnie, and Bill together would be amazing in itself, and considering the album is intended as a tribute to Charlie, hopefully some of the focus will be dedicated to him.

You forgot Mick Taylor.

In right at the Empire now. Prowling around, talking to the security guys, who obviously know what's happening, but are friendly denying any knowledge!

I poked my head around a door that gave me a wide view of the auditorium and stage - with some very diamond-like colourful graphics projected on the back screen. No time for a photo before the big (but friendly) security guys told me to move on...
