They already said their contact is A V, I'm guessing that's is their initials.

[Karlhippy]

Nothing is 100% until the day, however my contact is pretty reliable.

[Bobs]

Sorry I Had to! We have a huge thread already!

[Karlhippy]

Sorry.....I will go and throw myself in the river......

surely they will be confirmed before the day, i mean its a bit late to get anybody in if it all falls through at 11am and they are due on stage at 10pm

If it's not going to happen in 2013 then it'll never happen. If they play a few dates early next year (as seems likely) then it'll (finally) be the last time, and as a seasoned Stones-watcher I'd say that the omens actually seem pretty good at present.

Though expectations should be held in check until it becomes evident what sort of form Keith's in - and if his form is poor whether they're planning on propping up the sound with special guests or not (be that Blondie Chaplin or Mick Taylor or even the likes of Jeff Beck).

I've heard this too... Only my not quite as very reliable source was the mother of a girl who was wearing a Glasto Hoodie my daughter met on the beach in Bude during the summer. The mother was from Bristol and apparently makes/sells said Hoodies at Glasto every year. And ANYWAY - she told me that she knows Patrick? Eavis and, he's told her the Stones are definitely playing.

The Shidoobee crowd seem fairly convinced the band are over in Paris rehearsing now. (well some believe they started on the 1st, others think they dont begin until the 14th) So it's seems increasingly likely that they will at least be playing some gigs later this year/next year.

whether that means one or two gigs, a residency at big venues around the globe or whatever I've no idea. I'm hoping beyond hope whatever they do it see's them stop at Worthy Farm.

They're 100% rehearsing in Paris. Even released them rehearsing Brown Sugar

This could be a headliner I actually go to see. I'm (relatively) excited.

[eFestivals]

there's defo some very duff Stones info going around.

I can't get a reliable handle on the Glasto stuff, but a lot of the stuff which is going around which fits around a supposed Glasto appearance is without doubt wrong.

When there's so much wrong info, I have trouble placing too much belief in the stuff I can't pin down.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though with the new recordings on Grrrr! and the current rehearsals they are creaking back to life again to the extent that (arena?) gigs seem likely in spring of next year - leaving the summer free for a handful of high profile 'farewell' gigs which - while not marketed as such - would almost certainly be them bowing out as a live performing entity.

[eFestivals]

oh, defo - it's pretty clear that they're gearing up for touring activity soon-ish, and while I know there definitely are some decent titbits of info floating around there's also a lot of tosh.

The issue is identifying which is which - which i've been able to do with some.

According to the folk ok IORR that live recordings taken from A Bigger Bang sessions and not this year...I hope it is real as they're sounding pretty tight if so!

Fuck it is from 2007. Bollocks!!

[The Nal]

I thought it didn't sound like Bill on bass...

(yea, yea... sure! )

Yeah I became suspicious when I couldn't hear Wyman's usual intervallic phrasing ........ no way it was him.......

[The Nal]

'intervallic phrasing'...?

I had to look it up... but that's right, it's one of the things Bill does

(or are you being sarcy?)

My brother is a musician with a penchant for w*nkery (Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen) et al, so Ive had these conversations about phrasing before.

Very underrated rhythm section had the Stones.

Hadnt a clue he wasnt playing on the clip mind you. Im only a layman.

But yeah, the general theme if the post was a pisstake.
