and ron wood made the best career move of all time, by far in the history of rock music

well...you all remember Keith answering during the babylon Pressconferenz:

Will this be your last tour ?

" Yes, this and the next five tours."

so if we count right ABB is the 3rd tour since babylon....so we will have 2 more tours to come.....easy as that.

salar

Alright Wuudy, hope it saved your day.

Quite seriously, though, I think the boys have to watch out that some day tours like these don't simply become ridiculous. You can't act everybody's Jumpin Jack forever - some day they'll just be their own caricatures.

I hope they will find ways for themselves to age in dignity and still maybe give us some of their music most of us have grown up with and has become essential part of our lives. Concerts then would have to be different.

Cheers

what else on earth are they going to do?..of course they will chug on and on and on...and they will play the same damn songs over and over because the rich fat guys who can afford the tickets will get bummed if they don't hear brown sugar and sing 'yeah yeah yeah woooo'at the end while sipping on a seven dollar beer.

why is it that everytime they go on the tour everyone says 'is this the last???..what if it's the last???..do you think it'll be the last????oh no what if it's the last??"...has it ever been the last???...NO...

NO IT"S NOT THE LAST TOUR...THEY WILL PLAY UNTIL ONE OF THEM DIES AND THEN THEY WILL GET SOMEBODY REALLY LAME TO REPLACE THE DEAD ONE...because they don't know any better...

i hope they make another album...and i hope they get a decent producer to help them weed out the crap because they need one...BAD.

stones will roll on but some of the fans willpass away so this might be the
last tour for some of the fans but not for the STONES.
ITS ONLY ROCK-RLL.
WEAR WHITE NOT GET RUN OVER BY A BUS.

All perfectly valid points--unfortunately, and this is not limited to the Stones, the cd format dictates 70 minute discs and the producer is not going to impact that. Actually, I quite like the production on ABB--it is not pristine, muddy, perhaps at points, but it, to my ears at least make it sound more real.

I like Bridges to Babylon but sometimes it is a bit too antiseptic in spots.

Whose decision was it to leave off Under The Radar? That was inexcusable--I think that should have been the first single--it has that classic Stones sound yet still comes across as contemporary. The Child of the Moon argument, to me, at least is invalid because that is not a song most people, certainly the ones a single is targeted at, are familiar with.

As for the tour---I am somewhat certain I am not going to shell out another $700. to see JJ Flash Brown Sugar and all the other war horse again for the 9th time--what would be the point? I read BV's post about different crowds etc and while that is an interesting perspective--it is from the band's perspective, not the fans. After seeing them 8x with far too similar set lists it begins to take away from the experience--especially given the catalogue this band has at it's disposal.


Which reminds me--why couldn't they have kept Can't You Hear Me Knocking in the set make that one of the jam songs instead of say Miss You

Of course, I may have made similar comments after Licks---lol

As I already said before - I never repeat myself ;-)
