I agree with GJB, here. We simply do not know. Perhaps, there are plans for Europe and the U.K. next year, but I doubt there are anything more than tentative - if anything - plans for beyond that. How can there be, considering their individual ages? When you’re in your 80’s, it’s borrowed time.

Would anyone agree that at a concert attendee's judgement can be somewhat clouded by the overall experience? If anything, the - in my opinion - rather excellent fan-shot videos we're getting, are a better way of gaging how well an act or artist performed. As others have stated, you can clearly hear how good or bad a performance is. Being at the show in person is a wonderful experience,

Quotetreaclefingers Come On, Toronto, 2013, on the 50th anniversary of it's original release. I always though they should have treated the audience to a full rendition, like Bowie did in '04 for the 40th anniversary of his debut single, Liza Jane. As J-J-Flash posted, they do overlook their early-to-mid 60's output, aside from the few they 'have' to play. edit: (I

Didn't Mick seem to think that Out of Time didn't 'go down' particularly well when performed on this leg?

I can't help but wonder whether Keith would be better-off sitting on a stool for Sweet Virginia. The versions from the Voodoo Lounge Tour feature some lovely, intricate playing. Obviously, the dexterity isn't what it was thirty-years' ago, but it'd surely be better than standing, and occasionally strumming his electric.

I’m not sure, but, for me, it’s their finest album cover. It’s merely a dark, brooding image, with no text necessary. London records butchered it in the U.S. I think the Rolling Stones No.2 cover is from the same shoot, is it not? Perhaps the U.S. Out of Our Heads, too?

Oh, this is hard to process. I first met Gary in 2001, outside a Bob Dylan concert at the Docklands Arena, in London. I was an active member of the ‘Rocks Off’ message board community for some years, and I always looked forward to meeting-up before the show: Twickenham, 02 Arena, etc. There was a wonderful evening at the Sticky Fingers restaurant, too.

Such an iconic actor, from a generation we’ll, sadly, never see the likes of again. As well-known as many of his roles are, I, admittedly, haven’t watched many. My late father used to watch him in Rawhide, in the early 60’s. Edit: I completely forgot Escape from Alcatraz! I’ve watched that several times. Wonderful film!

They’re both playing well for their respective ages. I mean, who are we to compare them against? There aren’t many, are there? Eric Clapton is -in my opinion - a better guitarist, technically, but going by recent videos, is playing in his sleep. It’s ever-so boring.
