Back in the good old days the ideal age for a rock star was younger that your parents but older than your elder brother (or also sister, maybe). Considering the Stones' present age this would result in the better part of the audience being in their 60s or early 70s. Judging from the more recent shows that I saw, this might be quite accurate.

Apart from whatever else there may have been, as far as I know also Phil's health issues kept him from large-scale touring, at least in his latter years.

Sad news. Phil has not been well for a long time, so not totally surprising news, and 84 is a respectable age. As a bass player, he had a rather exceptional approach, playing another lead in the low register, counterpointing what went on in the higher registers. There's also some Stones connection. The Dead played a number of covers that also the Stones did, and they did some great version

The song has a real menacing air to it - was it possibly inspired by Apocalypse Now or Vietnam in general....those lyrics about bumming for cigarettes in the American zone always make me think of that film.

Down In The Hole might work live if the Stones ever did a laid-back jamband show (as might a few other songs). But chances are slim they would ever do a laid-back jamband show.

Sounds nothing like Ghost Town to me. I guess they would have lost the law suit even if it had been admissible. Rather sounds like a band who are trying to sound Stones-style (which is not in itself bad).

There is a great documentary, "Jodorowsky's Dune", that gives you a good idea of what he had intended to do.

No idea whether some expanded edition/s is/are in the pipeline, but when HD was released, Mick famously said they are already about two thirds done with the next album (I understood this like two thirds of the songs are in the can and ready to go, but who knows if this interpretation is correct).
