I would love to see a '73 or '78 era Stones avatar show. I am sure this will be a thing many legacy acts will do (I heard Jimmy Page is working on it).

What era would you love to see?

Of course, having a '73 era Stones would mean no SMU, MY etc - but perhaps they won't be overly concerned with historical accuracy.

I could see them doing an 'eras' style-show. Starting in the 60s with Brian, moving through the 70s with Mick and then onto Ron's era. I don't really see how else they could do it in a fair, comprehensive way tbh.

Maybe in many, many years when they are no more and technology is more advanced. When you put on your Apple/Google/Meta smart glasses and see them virtually in concert in 3D - [iorr.org] . Probably all eras would be interesting for reliving the decades of the Stones' musical history.

I would like to see them recreate older shows. They could rebuild the actual Bridges To Babylon-stage and play a recording from 1997 in the speakers, and display realistic avatars/holograms on stage.

I prefer to see them live next year. I have zero interest in virtual concerts Just as I have no interest in a biopic, a musical or AI generated soundalikes. There's enough good video material to see how it was at a certain time period. I'd love them to release more of that but I don't need any computer generated fake stuff just for a illusion. No, thanks

I understand that most of us would prefer to see them live in the next couple of years. But obviously that won't continue for long, and I foresee that a 'virtual' show will be inevitable, hence the question.

I would certainly go and see this!

I wouldn't care about the Stones do an ABBA-style concert. I'm convinced though that many Stones songs could be re-arranged for (past) ABBA style music and vice versa.

Gimme Gimme Gimme (Shelter)..

I hope they only do this when live performances are truly no longer possible, but I do believe something like this could be really cool. Especially in combination with artificial intelligence.

For example, I can imagine AI making it possible to have Brian Jones play on Beast of Burden. Or Bobby Keys playing the sax solo from Hackney Diamonds' Get Close. With Ian Stewart on piano.

I realize that not everyone will be thrilled with this kind of historical distortion, but I think it will be possible soon.

Yeah, Jalfstra, sounds cool! I'm sure this will be here within 10 years

Ha ha!

Dancing With Mr Queen??

A bit like that Dread Zep mash-up band in the 90s - reggae LZ covers with an Elvis clone singing!

Please, never.

Seeing how Bobby Keys, Charlie ,Billy Preston,Steve Madaio, are no longer with us, and Taylor and Wyman are not in the band, what would be the point of it?They had an opportunity to have Bill and Taylor join them on stage at the same time in 2012 and2013 and chose not to.

did brian, ian or bobby consent to being turned into holographic zombies forced to forever play on music they had no part in making?

i agree it's gonna happen and if it must happen i would much rather they focus on recreating there past shows accurately as some kind of immersive virtual reality experince created from existing video, audio and photos then something that's more of a arificially fantasy
