It's over when the US-tour is over!
Posted by: s-asla ()
Date: September 2, 2006 12:21

According to BT(Bergens Tidene) The Rolling Stones had a quarrel last night. Mick, Keith and Ron were trying to persuade Charlie to continue touring after the US-tour. Charlie says enough is enough and the concert in Horsens is the last in Europe ever. I repeat: According to BT.

sater asks : "how many times we heard that????"

About 100 times after the end of each tour since 1989. So we have about 500 times for the time being...

I love it when the source is a paper (BT), which is fighting with another (BA) over headlines.
Another guy sitting at the desk digging up news from the net.

Wanna see an example from our Danish friends... Here's a BT (Denmark) guy who is an expert and can predict the set list for tomorrow. He didn't even bother to use the net, he he.
"Based on the setlists from previous Euro shows"
"This Place is Empty" is in!!!! (he he)
Might play it of course, but then it's pure luck.
Here's the list, 18 of the songs they will play
[www.bt.dk]

Never trust a paper!

That's bullshit I think. Charlie cannot even leave even if he really wanted to right now (which I doubt). There are contracts with many local promoters, who will insist that most cancelled show will be performed next summer. The Stones could be confrontrated with legal problems if they just leave all this unfinished business behind them. They're businessmen, that is.

On the other hand, after this greatest hits disaster I wonder if I really would enjoy another leg, which will probably become even more boring, because many "exotic" regions will be included.

Not only these shows. They had sold in Europe about 500,000 tickets which now are lost due to cancellations. This is a very serious reason to tour next year.

When there is something with quotes around it, I will believe it.....maybe.........

I have a hard time believing they are not going to make shows up in one way or another.

A week or so ago, I didn't rush out and buy tickets for the Rolling Stones Oakland Stadium show. This is the first time since 1975 that I didn't go WAY out of my way to secure great seats for a Stones show. Most, ok, ALL of my friends didn't rush out either, That's too bad for us, and it's too bad for the Stones.

Up until recently, it never seemed "too much". Multiple shows, night after night, no problem. Traveling to see a show, even better. But now, it smells of being all for the money, and that's a shame.

For me, the least desireable place to see the Stones is in a huge stadium, especially when I'm seeing songs I've seen them play dozens of times.

The Rolling Stones should stop at Dodger Stadium. Then, in 2007, they should get involved in a variety of projects, without all the overhead, and the redundency. Scale the entire organization back down to a manageable level. They have a solid core group of people, they can build from that. They certainly can earn revenue by releasing some dandies from the vault, and by getting involved in different film projects, just to mention two ideas.

From the film projects, new music can be created. I'll bet if you gave Mick and Keith an interesting script for a film, in a few weeks they'd have some great songs. Then get the band back together to record the Score for the film, plus some other new music so they could release another sizeable CD, Then, play intimate summer shows in the cancelled European cities, for the orig ticket holders, only. No stadiums. No Arenas. If you must play a larger show, do it outside in a nice setting, like they've done in the past with Hyde Park, or in Rio, and recently with Bergen. From Europe, they should do a week of shows in NYC at The Garden, and a week of shows in SF. The setlist should be eighty-percent new music, and a selection of songs they've rarely, or never played live before. No Satisfaction, Brown Sugar, Tumbling Dice, JJ Flash,.. you get the picture. Midnight Rambler, ok, you can stay.

Most importantly, do it for yourselves. Do it for the creativity. Do it for your legacy. After you're gone, the money won't matter.

Still the same...

Let Charlie do what EVER he wants.

Maybe he doesnt want to be embarresed behaind a drunken 62 year-old and a @#$%& up Ronnie?

Ever thought of that?

Charlie and Mick work hard as hell. The other two will never grow up.

Neither will some of you, obviously.

Is it cool to play when you´re stoned or drunk? Is that a common professional way to behave?

I mean, 62...come on.

And - this is MY opinion. Don´t @#$%& with that!!!

tons. which means that sooner or kater is has to be true

Charlie is an old man. they all are. it would be no surprise (to me at least) if this was the real deal

what worries me more, is that some people can't accept its time to stop

When Keith talked Charlie into going on this tour it was on the condition that this would be the last world tour. Granted he has probably said that countless times before but sooner or later it has to end.

I think they will eventually talk him into doing Europe next year only because it is really a continuation of this massive tour. But 2007 will probably be the last major tour outside of the U.S..

Charlie also made it clear that he wouldn't be quitting the Stones after this tour and would not rule out another album and U.S. tour in the future.

Hopefully, South America huge sold out stadiums and fantastic young crowd might/will blow away the $ 90-450 tixs in the US and the compulsory overspoiled aged audience ( in which I could include myself if I had the privilege of being a US citizen ) who apparently is turning his back in major cities. Europe will thus be able to wait on Charlie with a lot of quietness next summer.

I think it will be for the most part over after next summer's Euro tour. Realisticly can you see them gearing up for another major tour after a couple years off when they will be in their late 60's?
