When you are talking about music thats not officially available than its not taken any money from Mick & Co. Pirate CDs and downloads of official albums is another thing entirly. The most bootleged artists are also the most succesful, the rise in number of bootlesgs often mirrors ris of the band. Try buying Brussels at amazon and get back to us.

I can confirm that YES there is not only rumours but also speculation with regards not only the Stones touring but also whispers that they may not. Without doubt something well happen next year or maybe not.

Nice post Al.

Maybe the fact that the did break up in '75 is what would make it OK for Bill. If the Stones had broke up in 75 and were now considering a reunion maybe Bill would have been up for that as well. just a thought.
