I have now seen the Stones 16 times since 1981...and last Friday night in St Louis was the first time I felt like it might be my last time..I tried to limit my dope smoking and beer drinking and really try to take it all in...has anyone else had Mixed Emotions like me seeing them this tour...I really love seeing them again...but hope its not the last time..
As long as they are alive and healthy they'll keep going. At some point, Mick will not be able to do what he does, but people have been making taht perdiction for 20+ years!!!!
don't give me that ole one two, one two three four
Well...Mick has slowed down a bit ...especially since 1989..when he was all over the stage ...back an forth...but Firday in St Louis was the most I have seen Mick move and run in years!!!!!!
HE IS BY FAR THE GREATEST FRONT MAN IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL...and there will never ever be anyone close to him

Agreed!!!! I don't think that can be disputed even if you aer not a Stones fan. WHo is 2nd? Roger Daltry? Plant? Rod Stewart? Bono? It's not even close!

well..its going to come to fruition eventually
However, it isnt Mick whose health is likely to be the factor in the next few years
If you could have seen Mick last Friday in St Louis..there was fire in his eyes...almost like I have never seen before...he worked the crowd like never before since 1981....
It was very emotional experience for me ...THEY ARE MY BEST FRIENDS!!!!!!
Agreed. Mick will just slow up a bit and not run around as much if they are still at in five years.
Keef is really the big question. This is not a jab at him. I am one of teh biggest Keef fans on the planet- but he has not taken care of his body and you wonder how much gas is left in the tank. I know people have bene saying that since 72. But its one thing for a young guy to abuse his body but it adds up. I think the many nights without sleep have done more harm than the drugs. You can not go 3,4,5 or 9 nights in a row with out sleep, mutiple times for years- it is a miricle hes alive.

I really do think this will be the last tour. They may do a few isolated shows here & there, but I can't envision any more world tours. Realistically, by the time they would be ready to start another tour, the oldest members would be approaching 70. I just don't see it, not to mention all the potential health issues. My advice to you all is forget about bitching about the set lists & see these shows because this just may really be THE LAST TIME.
sorry.....I am just loving the Stones right now...and wondering if I will ever see them live again....the emotion you get to feel at a Stones show cannot be put in words...and any bitching about set list, number of songs..etc...sould be STOPPED...just go see them and enjoy...they have given much to us over the years..and still are...
nikkibong...this will not be the last time it will be brought up..and when and if you ever see them..and think it is the last time ...you might feel the same way..
I'm not sure that this is the last "time" but I think that it is the last major tour, and I have decided to see as many shows as I can in 2006. I am scheduling business trips and a family vacation to Europe to catch a few more shows. I know that when this tour is over (whether in the UK, or after a fall leg somewhere), I will feel pretty bummed but hopefully, I will have been to enough shows to have a huge backlog of memories of this tour.
This won't be the last tour. They've got at least one more in them after this, and a good shot at still being around six years from now for their 50th anniversary.
