QuoteTopi I think hockenheim95 is correct, cannot recall a single private show that took place outside of a tour. Definitely not in recent years. In 1977 El Macombo in Toronto was 6 months after Knebworth. The Ian Stewart tribute show in London in 1986 was nearly 4 years after their previous show in Leeds and 3.5 before their next in Philly ! But in the 1989+ era of big glitzy producti

Quotestraycatuk The desert dust wrecked Mick's voice for the following Vegas shows , so I can't see him wanting to go back as he turns 80 sc uk This, every day of the week with bells and whistles. Mick does not thrive in hot dusty environments and this was repeated in Prague 2018 when his voice packed in towards the end of the show.

Quoteslewan Quotespikenyc Mick will turn 80 yrs old in July. I hope they plan something special if they are touring then. I bet they won't do a show on that day Whenever they’re on tour around his birthday they’ve never played on the day itself as far back as I can remember. Last year Gelsenkirchen was the day after. They’ve played the day before or after numerous times down the years.

Not 100% about Mick for the reasons already given by others but imho she’s got Keith absolutely spot on for 1981/82.

Well done Marco. I enjoyed that a lot. Brings it all back. I’m 55 and as far as I recall, Charlie is the only musician to date whose death has brought me to tears. I’ve attended 4 Stones shows since we lost him and for me the enjoyment just isn’t the same without him. I agree it would be nice if the remaining Stones covered it.
Forum: Tell Me

I can’t believe this. I saw the Specials supporting the Stones in his home city of Coventry just 4 and a half years ago and they were outstanding with Terry’s voice as good as ever. Rest in peace sir and so glad I got to see you live. I was at that show with my sister and she had a right good dance to all the old hits. Some right good tunes with Rat Race being my personal favourite.

I've only just heard this from a friend I was talking with on WhatsApp. RIP Shirley. A good life very well lived and an excellent life partner for Charlie. Condolences to her nearest and dearest.

4 pages and not one solid rumour - impressive. When in London I heard chit chat from a number of sources that they want to do South America next year. Not as profitable as Europe or North America but without doubt the youngest and most lively and enthusiastic audiences in the World to play to which must be very energising for them. European and especially US audiences tend to be older and quieter
