Hope a new album is coming, but I doubt they’ll call it Diamond Dust unless they’re specifically marketing HD outtakes as the concept which I think Jagger would not like. It’s like admitting “ our artistic well is dry” which I don’t believe is the case

Fortunately they've never repeated anything, although Fifty Licks (Keith had that title on his shoes!) or even Sixty Licks would've been appropriate in doing so.
ER had some SG leftovers on it. So did TY. They didn't call those Some More Girls and Even More Girls. Had they finished everything it could've been Most Girls and All The Girls.
Then get into the ER leftovers...
"Automated" would be closer to the truth, and I agree a lot of them sucked. HD's lack of anything in the gatefold is a horrible waste. Good thing the album was good.
It's also probably accurate to say they won't call it The Last Time since they refuse to acknowledge or announce when they'll stop/retire.
The title Hackney Diamonds isn't bad but the album cover... their fifth "animated" LP cover, or whatever you want to call it, and fourth of the last 6 albums (including B&L, which, eh, does the logo count as animated? If so then 5 of their last 6).

Given their track record, most likely, a live album from the Hackney Diamonds tour will be next.

Their last live album fresh from a tour was HAVANA MOON in 2016.

Ehhh it's not a live album in the sense of a live album from a tour like LOVE YOU LIVE, STILL LIFE etc. And all those stupid duets ruin it.

That picture posted was a ShowCo touring truck at the rehearsal studio. Probably AC/DC who rehearsed there for Power Trip or some other band. Meant to go by to check it out.

At this point, another live album with Start Me Up, It's Only Rock'N'Roll, Let's Spend The Night Together, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Happy, Sympathy For The Devil, Honky Tonk Women, Miss You, Gimme Shelter, Paint It Black, Jumpin' Jack Flash and Satisfaction would be absolutely pointless.
Even with Angry, Mess It Up, Tell Me Straight, WWW, Bite My Head Off and SSOHeaven to choose from plus there were other songs performed, of which perhaps only a few would be worth bothering with, like Monkey Man, Sweet Virginia and Shattered - who would be interested!!??
How much fixing would be required? Mick was flat for almost every performance of Angry. The RACKET show got heavily fixed, which is really weird.
It might get streamed a bit for a week. A majority of those songs are available all over streaming already from various decades.
I'm leaning on no live album.

I guess this quote from Keith got lost in this thread after that Bucharest concert rumor.
"In a new interview with Rolling Stone, (Keith Richards) says he’s talking to Jagger about going back in the studio this year"

StonesDoug posted "Stones are in the studio" on Shidobee Facebook a couple of weeks ago. Presumably there have been no subsequent updates posted there.

well if we're talking about the post 2012 era
plus the 6 hackney tracks there's also the blue and lonesome tracks they did live (3 or 4?) and ghost town and the great version of 19th nervious break down they did with jordan, out of time, troubles a comin' that they did to promote the deluxe tattoo you, the duet with irma thomas of time is on my side, the acoustic tracks from 2019, lots of one off performances of stuff like, mercy mercy, ain't to proud to beg, just my imagination (plus a lot more but i'm drawing a blank)
it's been a long time since they've had a proper live album of 10 to 12 tracks sourced from multiple shows
yes a lot of these live tracks are pretty rough but personally i don't mind if they go in the studio to fix them up a bit and it's what they've always done for this kinda live album anyways
it would also be less work then a new studio album and of course it ain't gonna make them much money or sell much but do any of these vault releases ever sell well and that doesn't stop them from releasing them
it all comes down to do they (mick) wanna do it
i think your right that it's unlikley but i wouldn't mind it if they did
though i would prefer a new studio over a live album

That's 9 live albums from tours starting in 1970. It's been 8 years and 4 months since the last one.

Well some might say that conclusion is a little narrow minded since they released at least 12 live albmus in the past 8 years:
- 2024 Shepherd's Bush
- 2024 Live at Racket
- 2024 Live at the Wiltern
- 2023 Grrr Live!
- 2022 Licked Live in NYC
- 2022 Mocambo
- 2021 Copacabana
- 2020 Atlantic City
- 2019 Buenos Aires
- 2019 Bremen
- 2018 Miami
- 2018 San Jose
They might not fit the category "fresh from a tour" - but I feel we can all be very lucky to have them publish so much live stuff recently.
I would love a live release - maybe No Filter / Sixty / Hackney. But I might rather have a tour supporting a new album.

oh i misunderstood you if we're talking about a live album from the 2024 tour that i'd love too
but a real 10-12 track live album of tracks from the last 12-13 years is far more interesting a prospect to me
and we have to consider the possibilities of a super deluxe japanese bonus disc of the rest of the tracks we've listed that they don't use on the album
you know the more i think of this the more i like the idea
plus since honk isn't really a live album they might as well use a few of the better tracks off that too (dancing with mr. d, shine a light)
also i thought of some more harlem shufle from new jersey in 2019, the reworked version of factory girl from glastonbury (glastonbury girl) , 2000 light years from the same show, keith with litte t&a, slipping away, connection and some of the live tracks with mick taylor sway, cyhmk, silver train, bizarrely streets of love and slipping away
and though it maybe a bit of a stretch it be nice to have mother's little helper from the 2022 madrid rehearsals too
there's just so much material to choose from from the last decade or so

Too funny!
If they released She's A Rainbow and a few others between 2021 and 2024, so what if it's on HONK: how many times is ABCDEFG on live albums!?
Who really needs or wants to hear the Stones' 2024 performance of Start Me Up compared to... when those are... and etc.
If there's a thought process in various cubicles or offices or text groups about a live Stones album and the HOT ROCKS/REWIND era dominates -
THEY ARE OUT OF TOUCH.
Oh wait - except for the suckers who will buy it on vinyl.
So, on a finer note, those they should fire for being archaic should be fired for being mired in the past. Because it shows how out of touch "they" are. "They" being involved in the 18 month HD plan.
UME/UMG whatever said ABC about The Rolling Stones. Take in all the UMe branches and with Bravado, Eagle Rock and Eagle This and Eagle That and Polydor and...
I bet Universal could've stopped the 2008 warehouse fire if particular UMe people showed up with brickwalled albums in hand.
The lack of care continues.

Sure, a little 'touch-up', here and there, is OK; but when you're replacing an entire track, it's too much. Goodbye to Keith's - perfectly fine! - rhythm-guitar on the 'Racket performance' of Bite My Head Off; hello to the studio-track! It's a travesty, and I honestly can't listen to it. We all thought the Rock Off edit from 'Live Licks' was bad... until this!
