Not from an official, just a poster...
"Just heard an interview with Ronnie Wood on Virgin radio here in the UK. Ronnie said rest of the plans for the year are heading off to China and Hong Kong as long as they remain Sars free, and then - and get this - probably back to the US again. He finished off by saying this could be the tour that never ends, so it does look like they are keen to keep going for a while yet.
I know there have been rumours about whether they would go back to the US, but Ronnie seemed to be saying that was the plan. Time to start saving!"

No, you can't take Ronnie's words seriously.
He said there would be a box-set---nope.
Ronnie is not the decision maker. Let's face it, it's only two of them and Charlie is the one that gets the final question asked to him. |

I know, I read it w/ a smile too.
We can only hope Ronnie know's something that we don't.
But it's just a good read, I know it's nothing more than a conversation piece...
Mick had to talk Charlie into doing this tour even. |

Hey, I know what you mean. It's great to read it, but it must be taken lightly.
Ron was blabbling about box-sets and how they could get an album out "if they were forced to".
If they do come back I hope they can hit Chicago for a week, like 3 dates at the UC.
Or a Friday show and a Sunday show. Unless they come to Indiana, I can't go to these middle of the week shows.

They played there 5 times (and I saw them all) in '02!
They like it there but the fans are real lazy boned.
I can't recall them playing 5 times in any other city but Chicago in '02.
Yeah right, the boxed set, LOL!! |

Depends when that interview took place. Sometimes theres quite a delay between a recording and its broadcast
Had it been a month or so ago, it would have been believable but the indications from most reliable sources I've heard from in the last few weeks have been that the tour ends after the Far East shows.
I'm sure they'll play on after that but I doubt there'll be anything in early 2004 for various reasons. |

Yeah. Remember, Ronnie makes no decisions. This was probably recorded before Charlie put his foot down.

I'm pretty sure the interview was done during the last week, as they talk about Wembley shows having different themes and looking forward to last night's Twickenham show.
But you can check it out for yourself if you want.

That's the link. The show isn't online yet, but they put them up at some point. Ronnie's interview started around the last 30/40 mins of the show. |

Face it boys and girls....it's out of our hands.
We just have to wait and see.
Patience......Now does anyone know if I can sue Ron Wood for pain and suffering if he has mislead me with this interview????

I know it must end, but I have to agree, they could just drop by Chicago for a weekend or so....(Looks like The Cell will be quit in a week and not much going on at Soldier Field this fall) lol  |

The way Ronnie talks about it, seems like the Stones are considering the NET (Never Ending Tour) concept that Dylan has employed...but of course that won't happen.
Gazza: I hear you, but I have always believed the Stones would wrap it up with a US leg in 2004 and I continue to think so. Doug is on record now of saying that WILL happen. Don't know why he says so, but he has good track record.
The Stones will be very wary of pulling the plug on this tour before EVERYONE is ready to call it quits - too big an undertaking of restarting once the apparatus has been dismantled. For that reason, I say there will be '04 dates.

It is, but it is a venue that services New York City.

I wish that neverending tour would bring the band over to Israel. Yes, everyone thinks it is so dangerous here (bullshit - it's still safer than many places in the world -even NYC where I've lived for 27 years), but I have visions of them playing here and both Arabs and Jews forgetting their differences and coming together just to listen to them. They'd play at Teddy's Stadium in Jerusalem (20,000 people) or Tel Aviv's Yarkon Park - 80,000 people OK it's a dream, but what the fuck. I read in a website someone put up after Keith's friend - Fred Sessler's death that one of his wishes would be that they would play there. Look, they won't take buses and won't go to crowded cafes - so already they're cutting their danger risks. As to security at the concert - heavy heavy security is always there every time there is an "event" put on by a municipality, so no crazies get in. And, you could all stay at my house.... |

>The way Ronnie talks about it, seems like the Stones are considering the NET (Never Ending Tour) concept that Dylan has employed...but of course that won't happen.
Agreed. The main difference is theres four of them with four different lifestyles and responsibilities. Much easier for someone like Dylan to just spend his time on the road.
>Gazza: I hear you, but I have always believed the Stones would wrap it up with a US leg in 2004 and I continue to think so. Doug is on record now of saying that WILL happen. Don't know why he says so, but he has good track record.
that was originally the intention and until a few weeks ago the most likely scenario that I'd been told also from every reliable source I had (not just the US, but the plan was for Latin America also).
Can you show me where on doug's site he said that? The only place I can find with such a post was a remark in APRIL. A lot has happened since then.
In the last few weeks, I've simply got so much conflicting information that it seems to change almost daily. From what I've heard, they WILL take a break. How long thats for,I don't know. Personally,I'd prefer they did take a break, recorded a new album and went back on the road in 2005. Touring over and over behind a greatest hits record becomes artistically redundant after a while.

They've just finished SIX shows in London in 2003 - two of which were stadiums,three arenas and one club.
Chicago got 3 shows in 2003 and two in January 2003 - as did New York - one stadium,3 arenas and one theatre in each case. |

Thats very usual Rik,each tour had its ups&downs.
But,2004,no shows,if we´re lucky 2005 is the best bet. |

catwoman,
I think it would be fantastic if the Stones played Israel. I've always wanted to visit Israel & seeing the Stones would be the perfect "excuse" to make the trip.
