The longer the COVID crisis - and the longer they go without performing - the less likely we are to see them live again, certainly on a stadium tour. I do love some of the optimism in these posts, though. Regardless of individual band members' personal preferences, the tour underwriters, etc., would have to be 100% sure that there was no risk. That's a big ask. A year into this th

For sure. I've come to terms with the fact that I may never attend another live Stones show. But maybe I will! Unless we get this pandemic under control, we won't be going to any large gatherings. Maybe in 2022? Who knows? To be honest - and I'm speaking as a lifelong fan - Stones shows are not my main priority at present. They certainly won't risk doingany live sh

Won't happen. Too much risk to international athletes, employees, etc. It's a massive undertaking even behind closed doors. There's been backlash here in Scotland about a football team travelling to Dubai and one of them contracting the virus. At the rates that infections / deaths are increasing, we won't be seeing any large scale events this year (and rightly so).

Watched the footage in disbelief, although all the signs were there leading up to this. When he couldn't win democratically, Trump stirred up civil unrest and this was a direct consequence. Incitement to Riot is a criminal offence in the UK and can result in a ten year prison sentence. There must surely be analogous legislation in the US.

And no, he never wrote anything at good as almost all the tracks on Revolver. A stupid thing to say 24.......

I was on the Isle of Mull while he was filming Entrapment there. Overheard a huddle of little old ladies in a sweetie shop discussing what he had to drink after his evening meal (it was a Drambuie, apparently). Managed to crash a private party in one of the pubs, but Sean had left by then, although Catherine Zeta Jones was still on the dance floor.

I reckon this was from the Glasgow Apollo on 10th May, the first of three nights there. My first Stones show and this was definitely what Jagger was wearing that night. Had pro photographers in the box opposite me for the first few numbers and I suspect this was taken from there (the Apollo stage was too high for photographs from the floor). Seen other photos from that show.
