Frankie Valli is 90 and is still touring. Including performing three show's in three days in different cities. I hope to see him perform this September in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Who knows maybe the Stones have 10 plus years a head of them!

Did you actually see Frankie Valli (age 90) live on stage?

Don't forget that Wyman will be 88 in about 3 weeks time.

But Bill doesn't perform live in concert and he needs a walking stick - [Facebook.com] .

London is a big city and the Stones are a big draw. What's more when the Stones play London people come from all over the world. London always has multiple stadium touring bands visit each and every year. Of course the Stones can sell out 2 nights or more in a London stadium next year or any other year for that matter.

Exactly. If they play London, I wanna come over and see them on the home turf.

By the way, I got inside info a few weeks ago that they're coming back to Prague (my home turf, for a change) and playing the Letnany Airport just like back in 2018.

I was going to post it this morning, but for some reason, the website gave me an error.

Anyway, Prague seems to be getting more and more likely, as the frontman of one of their previous support acts, a Czech band called Olympic, spoke publicly about the rumors and said they were already selected as their support, although there is no date yet. Here it is in Czech.

He won’t turn 90 until next year. Don’t roll over his odometer yet.

May be he is touring these days, but there is a playback of his singing, and he looks more like a ghost than a real singer on stage, sorry to say it, take a look yourself:

Video: Frankie Valli breaks silence after sparking health fears with viral performance video (Mail Online)

The Rolling Stones are certainly not at that stage yet, but they do have backup on stage, supporting the complete sound and flow of the songs.

Without the two keyboards now, the brass and the backing singers, the 5 on stage alone would be pretty hum... shaky, and I'm being polite.

***
I'm just a Bad Boy Boogie

If you just suddenly took away the keys and horns etc yes...

But the songs are arranged and the show staged to include those elements...and have been for many many years.

Keith and Ronnie are still capable of focussing and playing effective guitar when they want to.

The show would be very different , with a lot less "performing" or posing ...but there are many songs that could still sound fantastic on stage with a five piece Rolling Stones.

they don't sound shaky here about a year ago





or here





ok its not just the core 5 matt and chanel are there too but its not nearly as many "helpers" as they normaly have onstage with them

i to a point agree with you if the band was suddenly reduced to the core 5 it would likley be very shaky at first since they've by now become so used to performing this way for the last few decades

they could still pull it off with some work

it be a very different show but not necessarily worst

That sounds great @jana! Keep us up to date please! :O

I wonder whether a gig in Switzerland will be possible. Normally they try to make up for cancelled concerts on the next tour.
But next year, there's the Women's European Football Cup which will take up stadium dates. Also, the Swiss promoter who did all of the Stones' concerts in Switzerland the last few decades already said that he could not organize a stadium gig in 2025, after having to cancel a Pink gig this year.
Let's see how it will play out...

The Stones could use their own, temporary 'stadium' (like in Hamburg 2017 or Adele in Munich 2024) if a suitable location is available.

Yep Praha my second home is on !

I hope they do play Prague again,but please not Letanny Airport. I was there in 2018 ,it was so hot the Stones had to wait for the sun to go down before coming on stage and Mick had a lot of help Bernard Fowler for the encores..

I just watched the encore of GS and Satisfied on YouTube. What do you mean help from Bernard. All he did was sing backup on Satisfaction like he always does

I was there, and other fans who were there also pointed this out on reviews of the show

I loved Prague the city. Stunning. But the concert was the most overcrowded I have ever been to in a Pit of the dozens of shows in a pit. On Keiths side it was jammed body to body. It was dangerous So much so we left early. His side was on the opposite side of the entrance and exit so a long walk around the GA. Prague is worth a visit, but I hope they pick a different site.

They don't sound "shaky" because these are official videos that have received a massive amount of overdubs ! On Bite they even flew in an entire guitar part from the CD ! Surely you remember the scaringly "thin" sounding audience videos of the Racket ?

This is still the rumors page but I wanted to respond to this. I personally think that experiencing a band live always is the sum of performance, sound, energy, lighting, people, weather and so on. On a record you take everything away except sound. In my opinion it is important to add overdubs to the raw sound to recreate that live experience - at least try. That includes fake guitars, percussion, fake audiences and so on. If you really want the "real deal" - you have to go see them live.
Which we will do this coming summer. I live in Germany and the last cities were:
2022: Munich, Gelsenkirchen, Berlin
2018: Stuttgart, Berlin
2017: Hamburg, Munich, Duesseldorf
2014: Berlin, Duesseldorf
Last time in Cologne was 2006 so I feel it is time to go back. Also Frankfurt could be an option. But if they want big capacity, they might just end up with Munich and Berlin again.

yes i do remember them and still have them and you right for bmho (thin is a complement it was skeletal) and angry but shattered, td, jjf, www, and ssoh sound fine on the audience sources

that's why i chose those two because i don't think there's any major editing or overdubs on them when compared to the (admittedly incomplete) audience recordings

they didn't need overdubs on these because they performed them just fine

shattered

and even the mistakes that are on these are still audible on the official audio

now let's move beyond this because it's off topic

So, it seems Paris is almost certain, I read a solid rumor about a Prague gig. Also, there was talk about a concert in Naples, later this was 'corrected' to Rome. Is it too early for a first list of rumored dates and locations? What do we have so far?

anyone hear anymore rumors about an early in the year mini tour of japan/australia that bv hinted at earlier?

Think that adds up to following rumours (as opposed to wishful thinking) -

Prague
Rome
Paris
Marseille (?)

So far

That’s a start! I read on the French Facebook page that Marseille was off the table, but I could be wrong.
