Good, glad we've got the grammar sorted out then, also the dictionarial definition of "dude". What nice people we are on IORR, always obliging and helpful ?
I confess, I was being facetious when I started this thread. It's just that the whole setlist thing with respect to this ABB tour has driven me mad; or rather all the bitching and moaning about it on this board. I saw them 3 times in the States recently, and as nice as it might have been to hear for example, some of those tunes listed below, I had a blast at all three shows and about the ONLY thing I can identify that I really didn't actually like at all was the rather peculiar version of 19th nervous breakdown that they did at MSG. Otherwise - happy happy happy I must say.
Anyway, the Rollin Stoned' setlist:
I can't recall it in its entirety by any means, but it was really nice to hear the following in addition to all the warhorses:
Out of Time
200 light years from home
Not fade away
Before they make me run
Shine a light
My take on setlists anyway is quite simply that the Stones have got thousands of people to please from at least 3 generations, they do as good a job as can reasonably be expected in coming up with something for everyone. One could always dream I guess; a reasonable dream would be to see them in a small setting playing to a hardcore audience familiar with their entire catalogue, to whom they would then play all those wonderful obscure gems that haven't seen the light of day as yet ? Would it ever happen ? Doubt it, but boy would it be nice ?
