Yes, but my point was a bit different: i mean, if the Stones hadn't the indispensable passion to do what they still love, they would do much more business like these i mentioned. Out of the music. Even if the money wasn't as big, as the money that comes from five million people paying a lot to see the band live, i can't imagine these billionairs torturing themselves. Because doing big tours, performing two hours per show in the age of 65, i suppose is a big torment IF you don't really like it. So i appreciate absolutely the fact that these old rich devils still have the passion to rocking.

"there is not much money in releasing a show from say 1972, yeah we'd love it but it wouldn't sell as much as releasing another greatest hits package."
You're right, but i don't mean live stuff. I'm sure they have unknown studio stuff- and maybe a huge one. Perhaps a lot of tapes... They could do a kind of "grave robbing", as Macca did in middle 90s. When he was releasing stuff rejected by the Beatles...And this method brings money...
