Re: You Want Rarities? The Olympia on FF

Yeah, well, you know some Stones-fans, they're not of grateful nature. They've gotten more rarities in the club shows than the Stones have done in 30 years. They don't care. It's never enough. They've been spoiled with bootlegs. 25 years ago, there were hardly bootlegs. You were happy to catch one or two shows while lying in line for the tickets in a sleepling bag two days.
Now, with a single click of the mouse, you order 15 tickets for every show in the U.S. They go see all of them, and come back saying "THEY PLAYED THE SAME SONGS!! FRAUD BASTARDS!!".
Seeing every show is fine, but complaining you don't hear enough variation is a little stupid.
I'm not a guy with a mommy and daddy with 5 million bucks. I can't see all the shows. I'm a relatively young fan, and I'll be limited to one or two shows, and I'd like to hear Brown Sugar, Satisfaction, Start Me Up and so on on that night, because I've not seen it happen that much. Goes for about 60.000 other people in the stadium aswell.
