              usually they're four-five months ahead, i remember buying Stones tix at Christmas time for an April show.

                It's been the Stones practice as long as I can remember to release the album right about the same time the tour starts. And late August/Early September is usually their timetable too, now that I think about it

                        they've had a bunch of merch with an "established 1962" tag on it. the Licks tour was supposed to be the 40th anniversary tour.

                          More. the first Stones album came out in '62.

                          Come to think of it, this year marks 40 years since "Satisfaction" was written, recorded, and released.

                          Talk about mileage !

                            "England's Newest Hit Makers" was released in 1964. But they started being London's stage craze as soon as 1962. "Money", their first single, was released in 1963. I can't be wrong, I have every single official recording they made, plus about 20 bootlegs. Much harder than having CVH's complete recordings, unfortunately.
                            I saw them in Paris in 1990 (Urban Jungle Tour, launched in 1989 in the US as the Steel Wheels Tour), they nearly played for 3 hours... The Bridges to Babylon tour sucked a little, even if I got the album which is rather weak.
                            Ronnie Wood stopped drinking and drugs a couple of years ago. The legend had it that his children went to see Mick Jagger to ask him if he could suggest Ronnie to quit boozing and the rest, which he did, successfully. You can hear it on "Live Licks" and "some" boots of the last tour (even the one I have from the very first gigs held in Toronto (Palais Royal)), August 16th, 2002): now he plays the songs as he should, at last.
                            I like the guy a lot, but it's obvious that he seems to have lost much of his crafts when he left the great Faces to join the Stones...
                            Keith Richards was recently asked if the fact he was the only one to be at least nearly drunk on stage was any problem. He answered that it was "their" (the other Stones's) problem...
                            I can see no trouble if Keith is stoned. It's never altered the band's music.
                            As for the August 28th Hyde Park gig, I'll be there. They really play hot stuff again. The music is worth it in itself, apart from the big fiesta a Stones concert basically is.

                              After listening to the Faces boxset and some early 70's Stones boots this last weekend, I have to agree. I preferred Woody with the Faces and Mick Taylor with the Stones.

                              I'd love to see both of these bands hit the road one last time, and i'm sure that Mick Taylor will be there when ever the Stones do finally decide it's their last show.

                              Faces tour would be more problematic. Ronnie Lane's dead, and Rod Stewart might as well be, considering he hasn't made a decent record in 30 years (except his Unplugged album in the early 90's and we all know why that one worked.....)
                              Every picture tells a story, indeed....
