No, one will be enough. But I'm not so sure Scandinavia will be included this time around (if there is one...). That, supposed, Hyde Park concert sounds inviting though.

There won't be a tour, but OK, I'll go all out

It may be their last tour, but part of me would rather just remember the when they were vital. I would not pay big money to see them trot out some warhorses in big arenas and stadiums, where they put more focus on 'vegas show' vs 'rocking concert'.

My dream would be they throw out the stadiums and vegas for several dates and play some blues as a 5 or 6 piece band. A show of them playing Chuck Berry or Muddy Waters or other influences. Or a show where they cover an album start to finish. But neither will happen, nor anything close to them.

It'll be huge stage, huge lights and effects, mediocre sound, disjointed guitars for only $350 US for a floor seat, and maybe have them throw in a non-warhorse. Oh, and a $12 beer that I get when I leave my seat during Miss You for the 15th time.

Or maybe they will roll out Journey as an opener for old time sakes

Warhorses or not: The difference this time (if there is one...) is that it will be the last time. So it will be hard to resist seeing them for the last time.

No. Been there, done that and bought the overpriced t-shirt.

I have other priorities in my life.

Will go to a few shows, but definitely not doing anything like the 13 I did on each of the last two tours, will not rush to buy tickets but will get bargains nearer showtime and trips outside Europe are a definite no-no.

Simply unaffordable, too many risks of cancellations and I'm not confident the shows will be of a high enough standard. The pull on the heartstrings of it being the last tour isnt enough to justify spending even more money I dont have.

I feel like I can say just about anything here, because I actually don't think they'll be a tour.

So yeah, I'm going to EVERY SHOW!

I hope there won't be any more tours in the sense we have come to know them, as I do not think they can convincingly deliver the product in that format any longer. However, if they choose to do something musically challenging and interesting, I will definitely go "all out". But another "Vegas" stadium tour with an even older and less capable band? Count me out.

Yes, of course I will be going all out, mate, even though we will have the Satisfaction mini tour in 2015, health permitting, of course.

I don't believe you.

Absolutely no intentions to do so at this point. I'll wait until reports from the first shows come in and then make further decisions. What could really change my mind in a second is news that Taylor and Wyman are back on board.

Be careful when you go "all out!"

Yes, like the earlier tours. Will try to see as many shows as possible.

As many as possible without having to mortage my appartment...

The possibillities is very often a matter of money in my case...Last time they were in Stockholm they had 3 shows in a week for about 80 + 100 + 200 Euro...
(Stadium for 35000, sport-arena for 12000, clubshow for 800)

Go 'All Out'? Definitely not. I don't earn a fortune and my priorities are somewhat different now to what they have been on the previous two tours. I'll see them London and thats my lot. Evan if I had the money, I don't think I care quite enough, to be honest.

No, I am not a cash cow.

Come on: I paid approx 82 Euro (820 SEK), (seated) for the stadium show (Sthlm Stadion), 64 Euro for the Globe Show (standing). To be fair, prices for the stadium show varied between 50 Euro (standing) to 110 Euro (best seated) and approx the same for the arena show (Globen). The Cirkus show (Club) were very hard to get by but they were all prized 50 Euro (500 SEK). We are talking about the Stockholm Triology here, in the summer of 2003!

If BW and MT come back, I'll keep on traveling the World to attend the shows, as I always did.
If I have to see a concert played by Chuck & Blondie and their Rolling Stones, one will be enough (if they come my way).
Sorry Darryl, nothing personal against you,

If this tour, if it happens is limited as some people have reasonably suggested it looks like you'll have to go out of New Zealand....and I guess it's possible they may not even make Australia.....where will you go to pick them up ?

I'll be there.

I'm sure Mick won't permit them to tour if it'd be an embarrassment.

He has too much pride.

I'm glad I don't live on Colonial's street.

Right now I don't even think there will be a tour next year hopefully I'm wrong.

I will go to as much concerts as money-wise possible

But I get a feeling as in the '81-'82 concerts when Jagger at the end shouted: "bye bye everybody, see ya next year" ...

If they were going to tour, which I don't believe, I'd go to one or perhaps two shows only.

My mistake Stoneage. There was a guy trying to sell his ticket on Circus for 200 Euro...

UK, Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona - maybe New York if I can get tickets again.

Stay home, or at least not anywhere near me....
