Ronnie's X account posted this yesterday... promising??

Fifty years ago this month, the Rolling Stones issued a press release confirming that Ronnie Wood would be joining them on their upcoming Tour Of The Americas (TOTA).

Ronnie's first show with the Stones would take place on his birthday that year, and this year we are celebrating his 50th year with the band with something very special.

Some expensive, ‘limited edition’ tat?

one of his setlists paintings but of the 1st show he did with them in baton rouge in 1975?

Maybe the thread title should have added: And Fans

If the Stones somehow were informed about what live bootlegs are sought after perhaps they could Vault those shows, although was we know the mastering will render them worse than the boots, in general.

Will the Jordan era be the shortest in regard to the Stones with who's playing in/with the band? Absolutely. 2021's NO FILTER, 2022's SIXTY and 2024's HACKNEY DIAMONDS (album and) tours is getting up on years in comparison to Mick Taylor's time, so far, with Brian Jones being two more years, Ian Stewart, and of course, Bernard Fowler since 1989 and Darryl Jones since 1993, close to or tying Bill Wyman, and of course, the longest being Ronnie's 50.

May be they will announce a new album, 2-3 singles and a world tour of 100 or so shows during the next three years. Or may be I just picked up an old paper from the seventies. To be honest, isn’t it time for a rest?

If that's the case, then so be it, who are we to argue?

However, after reading this and bv's other thread on the future of IORR.org, my question is this: When is the next Prince Rupert Lowenstein going to appear?

The Stones have emerged from a very successful decades-long run of self-management. But they (and that) can't last forever. There is "plenty of gold in them thar hills," but not if the current management hasn't provided properly for the property's succession.

I hope that the Rolling Stones org properly belongs to their heirs, and I hope those heirs are capable of preserving what is a legacy like no other. That being said, it would be wonderful to see the next Lowenstein step in now to help shepherd that process and guarantee that the legacy continues as Mick & Keith want it to. It's their legacy, but let's face it...both of them are a little too close to the tale(s) to be as mesmerized as we are by it all. It often occurred to me that the only persons on the planet who may be constitutionally incapable of truly appreciating the magnitude of the Rolling Stones are the members of the Rolling Stones themselves. They were there everyday, living it...they may not have the ability or the desire to wax poetic about it, the way we adoring fans can often do.

And the heirs themselves will have their own amazing stories to tell.

I really hope the band is looking for its next steward. Humans eventually run out of gas, but the RS ship has plenty of wind left in its sails. All that may be needed is a Captain that all interested parties can enlist, trust, and give the proper amount of authority to now.

I'm already resigned to the thought of no more tours, except maybe a couple one-off concerts. I do think there would be a little more new music though. Let's see, maybe I'm wrong.

"I hope that the Rolling Stones org properly belongs to their heirs, and I hope those heirs are capable of preserving what is a legacy like no other. "

The problem is the fans are dying off too. They may remain a curiosity for historians but that's about it. And a final run of new music is the perfect coda instead of the 2013-2031 tour ending in Podunk.

DGee, what would make you think for one minute that they don't have sophisticated management in place to deal with these issues? I would be absolutely shocked if they did not have that in place. It's not like they are rubes not understanding business. They are a large, sophisticated, corporate mechanism. Certainly Mick (at the minimum) is very attuned to all things commercial. And I'm sure Jane Rose is very capable of handling Keith's interests as she has done for many many years. I probably wouldn't lose a lot of sleep worrying about the Stones management issues.

There is money involved in their legacy so basically they need to plan for ex post already now (I guess it's already done). Their families must be involved in this of course.
With time managent will be put in their hands. The other option would be to sell all the rights to an external part and cash in.

This is the way. Right now the Ramones, far more popular than when active are basically doing nothing because the corporation is split between 2 heirs who don't talk to each other. And they are not the only Band in that situation. Bruce says he doesn't want his kids to have to manage it.

Mick's hundred kids as well as Keith and Charlie's offspring would need to rent a small theatre to hold board meetings and try to agree on something. Sell it to the highest bidder, split the proceeds and hopefully the new CEO of the Rolling Stones will open the archives for the last of us left alive.

Why do so many of you older Stones fans have such a negative view of their possible future legacy? Unless something really goes wrong I think it's fair to say people will keep discovering their amazing music as time goes on, after we're all dead. Sure it wont be music that everyone listens to, but that doesn't mean they'll be forgotten just because you contemporary fans die off. Elvis has been dead for decades and he had a hit movie biopic a couple of years ago. They're that level of iconic I think they'll be remembered just fine.

For one thing, why would you take what Mick said seriously?

The weird and ironic - that weirdo Jim Morrison was not the singer in The Doors and the Earth is not "round"? Is that what you mean?

ok i was responding to dan's post above mine and didn't mean to imply i took mick's comments seriously

dan's post was about who controls the stones organization after there dead and he implied it would be a bad idea for mick's children to be the ones to and that they should sell to someone else

thus my comment about mick remarking about not leaving his kids money is meant as a joke in response to his post (should have added one of those winking emoj things)

as for my comment about abcko i meant wouldn't it be werid and ironic after the decades of fighting and bitterness between the stones and allen klein that in the end after there all dead and gone abcko ends up being the ones who control the stones music entirely not just pre 1971

also not meant entirely seriously

not sure i understand how any of this involves jim morrison or the earth being flatconfused smiley

Concerning the possibility of late summer / fall concerts I just want to point out that in 2017 the No Filter concerts were announced in the beginning of May with first rumors starting end of April. So is a fall tour really off the table?

In 2017 Mick was 74 years old. In the fall this year Mick will be 82 years old. At the ages of 20’s 30’s etc you don’t change much but going from early 70’ to 80’s of age do make a change, also for SuperMick and his band mates.

They may still tour, but there is more to take care of, higher risk, more rest, all those things that is happening with the human body at that age. You can not just extrapolate previous touring history into current time.

It's been a life-long roller coaster for me and many others on this forum. I'm just grateful for everything they've given us and will happily accept whatever the future brings. My gut tells me that the touring is over. As we lose more and more of their contemporaries, I can live with that. New album? Would be nice, but no big deal if it doesn't materialise. Anything at this stage is a bonus. Hope that newer fans can appreciate what a long strange trip this has been.

Enjoy life, guys.

Yup, that's exactly my sentiment too. As for gut feeling, yes I agree with you Ian, my gut tells me the same.

What will you do with yourself Bjornulf, if the Stones have in fact played their last gig and their touring days are over ?

All that free time on your hands ! You'll have to go back to work ?
