I would like to share my feelings over this summer tour of 2007 ... but i have a strong feeling that it's over .... no more succes, the tour has not been selling out for more than 50 - 60 % huge ticketprices ... and a few days before a show suddenly ticketservices has extra tickets for less !! Keith who is suffering from "something" let me say it nice. and lets not forget: IF 2009- 2010 will be a periode for a new tour, they all will be around 68 - 70 years. Charlie said: I don't care if it's over!

Since 1976 i've seen the boys more than 150 times in Arena's - Stadium - Club's - Secret Gigs ... and sometimes they lost control during a few songs .. but nowadays ... i feel so SAD, SAD, SAD. to see Mick, Charlie and Ronnie .. wathing the leading guitarist who is lost ........ and if a good version of Start me up at the I.O.W. festival must be a Reference for keiths health .. well ... than you must think so or feel so ... but this is the last time .. So lets all get ourselves back together and lets see the boys on stage !!!

I expect this to be the last major tour, for the reasons you point out. I think it's symbolic that they're closing out in London. They don't need to play here, having played two nights here last year.

On top of that, there are several of references to their past on the cover of A Bigger Bang, which suggests the ending of an era, the closing of a circle.

And may I welcome them to Mach 5 or whatever it may be called. Mach four being their (partly great) Vegas/Arena era 1989-2007. But what else are they gonna do? Clubs? A new album would be great.

You'll be eating your words after the 2010-2012 50th anniversary tour. That'll be the last tour.

Wish I had a penny for every thread of this type...

... this ain't what i call "getting ourselves back together"

for crying in the dust, people, enough of these dismal threads -
whatever's happening is happening - and meanwhile the Stones are on tour
can we try enjoying it, for a change?! that's what it's for!

in other words:
let me hear you say ~*YEAH!*~
(you don't have to mean it - LoFL!)

Have a nice bunch of popcorn, with sssoul...
We seem to be some of the few remainin' Mohicans...

There seems to be a need on the part of some fans for a finite Candlestick Park last concert ending, but the fact is, not one single Beatles fan knew Candlestick Park was the end. Even Brian Epstein was surprised to learn that there would be no Beatles tour in the summer of '67. All you "I have the feeling that this is the end" posters will be the same people who, when it really is over, will be saying "Oh, why does it have to end now? Can't they please come back?"

The band will go on .... until it doesn't.

I really would like to disagree but after seeing them in Nijmegen there is no choice left to agree with this topic..
Mick & Charlie are still going strong; Ronnie was already an issue last tour but my big hero Keith....it was not yet embarrassing but oh my god..let's hope they won't push it to an Elvis level > guys, please leave it here!

I won't. I think they should have called it quits at Licks.

>> And I see we set another record for number of guests today ... So somebody's interested. <<

that surge of visitors around 19:44 was a psychology convention
studying the effects of some woe-is-we-spewers they planted here as an experiment.
now that they're satisfied we can cut out the crap.

[kicking shoes off and turning up music way loud]
come on darlin let me hear you say ~*YEAH!*~

Well, we could have Mick Taylor taking over Keith Richards and the guitar quality would be ..... explode.....

saying you "think" its the last tour isnt necessarily the same as saying you "wish" it was the last tour.

Personally speaking, I'll miss it when I've no more shows to go to, but as time goes on and they get older, its a bit easier to accept the inevitability of it.

I got to see the Stones for the first time in 1982. I thought at the time and for many years after it would be the only one I'd ever see. This summer, barring cancellation, I'll get to see my 47th. I consider the last decade or so to have been a bonus. I'm at a stage where I dont NEED to see any more shows, but still enjoy doing so.

If there's no more after 2007, I'll learn to live with it.

I'll learn to live with it

Gonna be a hard one though Gazza....



ROCKMAN

i got into the stones in 1987, when i thought they had finished.

was surprised when they announced an album in 1989 and then a tour.

seen them for the first time in 1990, and would have died happy if i never saw them again.

the o2 concert in london will be my 3rd stoens concert.

and i will cherish those memories.

if i never see them again after that then i can live with it.

given a choice i would watch them a million times more.

Why can,t we all sit back and enjoy the time we are being granted. Living here in the states I wish we could have one more opportunity to say *YEAH!*

with sssoul,

Of course we know it is always those outside agitators, yes?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I demand they stay on stage forever!!!

Well rooster,if you demand it............then so it shall be....The ...Stones tour forever.

>> Of course we know it is always those outside agitators, yes? <<

don't know about "always", angee, and of course i was being lighthearted,
but since you ask: when one of the main voices spewing dire pseudo-diagnoses over and over and over
is someone who registered here last month, and all but maybe two of his/her posts are the same Tale of Woe,
then, yeah, that seems to me like someone who came here with an agenda.

Probably the last one, but don't count the boys out yet.
Might be a 50th anniversary tour but not this extensive like this one.
Think It'll all depend on what Charlie thinks.
Don't think the Stones will go on tour without him.
Let's hope for something different. Maybe some mayor cities combined with
tv shows on national channels so everyone can see them once again?

Been Stoned since 1964 and still am!

If they decide this is that last tour I'm wondering if they will make an announcement after the tour is done. Unless they want to leave the door open in case they change their mind.
