I understand the stones plan on a tour to commerate their 50th anniversary. I also understand it may a limited engagement (shorter tour). I wonder if anyone from the Stones camp has considered allowing each show to be available for download? I remember years back Pearl Jam made all of their shows available via cd as did the Who. I know Ratdog and I believe Alice Cooper and possiblely Elton John have a simialr agreement allowing DL via flash disc. The stones record each performance professionally both on audio and video so why not make each available from a website DL. From the Stones stand point they would not need to release a post tour DVD/CD (that would both be in cutout bins in less than a year) nor would they have to encour the expenses of production and distribution of such a product. Just the website costs. DL would be without art or minium artwork. Besides, fans could make better art work.

Guess it will be a goodbye and thank you show to all stonesfans in a worldwide live satelite broadcast, and ofcource the last time will be the encore with an altered text; This could will be the last time, ........and all the lucky ones that could get a ticket for this last show will be presented the recordings of that show at the exit.........a spectacular speed release (audio and footage) or a link to the rollingstones site for a free download.......

This all will be a wish come true but the stones certainly will surpise us all !

Heck, I would pay a significant amount to be able to watch the shows in my own home.
On my hdtv large screen with 7.1 surround.
After I pay for travelling and lodging, I would pay $250.00 for a virtual ticket and dvd for the show. It would be a bargain.
Mick, are you out there?

Concert Live produce CDs after the show for some artists and also packaged later on their website - including Elton John and many others...
...I have a couple of the PIL shows and the sound is excellent
