The human riff has suggested that The Rolling Stones may be thinking about doing some Don’t Look Back style gigs and playing some of their classic albums in full. When asked if he would ever consider doing something like that in an interview with mainstream UK indie radio station Xfm, Keith Richards slurred “I have heard the idea being mentioned in passing. It’s in the rumour area … [but] where there’s smoke, there’s fire, you know?”
The Don’t Look Back concept, pioneered by the All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in the UK, USA and Australia, has become incredibly fashionable; as well as being a vehicle for old bands to appear contemporary, rather than dinosaurs wheeling out the greatest hits. Most of all, they’re particularly lucrative, often attracting fans who no longer venture out to gigs but will be tempted by a concept like this, and no doubt that’s flashing the dollar signs in Mick Jagger’s notoriously greedy eyes.
