My bad, I didnt see it was already posted....

18 songs - it gets worse by the minute......

In Euriope it will be a 15 songs show.....

What a joke. The big talk "we have 400 songs to choose from" and then they skip 3 songs becasue they cant play any more?

Bitch! awright. :E
one of the articles yesterday said Cui Jian was going to join them on one number - i wonder if that was right.
but either way, here are some photos, in case they haven't been posted already: [p081.ezboard.com]


"What do you want - what?!"
- Keith

18 songs only ??? It's a rip off and I plain all Chinese
fans who have paid a biiiig price to be in the audience...

If they have 400 songs to choose from I don't see why they
have not performed some old numbers like Ruby Tuesday
or Sway for example...

Maybe that at the end of this tour they will play only 3
songs like for the Superbowl Half Time Show ???

Indeed.I agree.This is total crap.How F---ing lazy can they possibly get?It could be time to hang it up.I would love to hear what the set list apologists have to say about this one.I wasn't there so I am not entitled to an opinion?The crowd would have gotten mad if they played 3-6 more songs?There are no other songs that are any longer appropriate for the current shows?I am some kind of loser because I found 15 minutes to spend on the computer.Come on.Please don't come at me with any of those lame ass arguments.

It's a disgrace.

I'm thinking of selling my Tickets. I could see;
Dylan
Clapton
The Who
Waters.....

and many more with the money.

AUTO PILOT CASH COW. It's time to stop if this is the best they can do.

Everytime I get used to /accept another outrage ,they lower the barr.

I've been a loyal fan for 26 years,but how low can they go ?


sc uk

That might be a good choice if they decide to rename the band.It has a good but sad ring to it. AUTOPILOT CASH COW

I love EC and plan on attending several of his RAH shows in May but if you think you will get a changing set list from him think again. EC's set list stays the same throughout a world tour. Maybe 1 or 2 songs are added or deleted at the start of the tour and then the set list becomes stagnant for the rest of the tour, night in - night out, the same.

Maybe so,but I doubt that on a new tour he would use 90% songs that he has already performed a thousand times in the past.

Don't they think about what their fans think for that kind of things?I hope we're getting 20 songs at least

I mean where is Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Respectable, Love Is Strong, Memory Motel, Sway, She's So Cold, Shattered, Out Of Control, Saint Of Me, Ain't Too Proud To Beg, Get Off Of My Cloud, Angie, Ruby Tuesday, etc....

They really don´t compensate the 3 censored songs by 3 other ones. Poor!

Sad, Sad, Sad. i echo the wisdom of theif in the night . . .

Great setlist. I can't wait to hear Wild Horses with Chiu Jian. I bet it's a killer version. The Rolling Stones have done a show in China!!!! Awesome!!!!
Any show where they play Miss You, You Got Me Rocking, Start Me Up and especially It's Only Rock'N'Roll, But I Like It is always a brilliant show. The boys have done a fabulous choice of songs and we should all be proud of them.

I think you just answered your own question, my friend . . .

No one in their right mind can defend a bands decision to not bother their arses replacing a few songs that they were asked not to play - but no doubt some idiots might.

"But hey, its the Chinese. they havent seen us before, so if we decide to have an early night they wont know any better...

An incredible slap in the face for people who paid a couple of months wages to see this.

Björnulf, what do you think?

I just don't understand why they didn't throw in Live with Me, Rocks off, or Worried About You etc.

But responding to Gazza's point, this entire China trip was a slap in the face to people. First, to charge ridiculous prices in a country where the majority live in extreme poverty . . .

Plus, agreeing to being censored by a despotic regime . . .

and then, of course, there's the set-list.

Well, the whole trip was for image reasons. They need headlines
in Europe. If it was for China or the Chinese they had played in
that soccer stadium nearby for free as the did in Brazil. Half of
the audience was western? Were the rest all those winners of that
new economical rising and/or useful members of the Chinese society?

Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

What can you think?

They are just lazy. So Jumping JK, it's all about money!!!! Chris Jagger is right!

ah, look on the bright side

They played a smaller % of warhorses than usual!

If it weren't for the socialising/partying aspect of the tour, along with the opportunity of meeting up with a load of great friends, I'd have been happy to have limited myself to just one Stones show this time around instead of the half a dozen or so that I've got tickets for.

There are a number of issues, not least, the fact that I am finding it increasingly difficult to take them (or their setlists) seriously anymore, especially at a time when I have about twenty other top class gigs on my calender for this year.

By the way Gazza, did you sort your Springsteen tickets out?

yes thanks. I have a journalist friend who told me the day before they went on sale that he had secured us Dublin tickets

Just as well..like last time, getting them when they went onsale was impossible.

Oddly enough, Hammersmith and Manchester seemed slightly less difficult to get and had I wanted to go, I could have got tickets online for both, but I passed. Would have loved to have gone to them both, but too many other financial, domestic and Stones commitments already this summer!

Great to hear that!

I might have been able to help you with Manchester, so to speak.

Enjoy!

VERY bad NOT to have replaced those censored tracks with something else and given that audience a particular thrill (and the rest of us a vicarious one). I was looking forward to seeing what they'd play instead and hoped it'd be something to surprise us all - but I didn't expect it to be NOTHING at all! That's what you call a poor show (and overly wishful thinking on my part).

Rolling Stones push boundaries in China debut
Sat Apr 8, 2006 5:37 PM BST
By Doug Young

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The Rolling Stones rode roughshod over China's censors during their first show in the communist country on Saturday, serenading a largely foreign crowd with songs about Satan, sleaze bags and serial killers.

Much was made before their Shanghai show of a ban on playing five songs, including concert standards "Honky Tonk Women," and "Brown Sugar." But they managed to toss a few risque tunes into their two-hour set at the Shanghai Grand Stage.

"It's nice to be here, the first time we've played in China," Mick Jagger told the boisterous 8,000-strong crowd, as the Stones made their China debut after two failed attempts dating as far back as 1980. "It's fantastic," he said.

The group focussed on its greatest hits as it raced through 18 songs spanning its 44-year career.

Highlights included "Oh No, Not You Again," a new song in which Jagger boasts of staring at a woman's cleavage; and odes to the Boston Strangler and the Satan in the concert classics "Midnight Rambler" and "Sympathy for the Devil," respectively.

Jagger also practised his Chinese on the crowd, welcoming and thanking everyone for coming, although a large number of the crowd were expatriates.

The lone musical nod to their host country came during a rendition of "Wild Horses," in which China rock legend Cui Jian sang with Jagger and later promised the audience the group would return to China.

The Stones had hoped to play in China in 2003 but cancelled due to the deadly SARS outbreak that killed hundreds. A first attempt around 1980 reportedly got nowhere after a meeting between Jagger and Chinese officials in Washington went badly.

The China the Stones are visiting is a far cry from the socialist country they would have seen in 1980, or even just three years ago, packed with skyscrapers and luxury shops, testament to the nation's rapid embrace of capitalism.

Despite advances in local pop culture, however, the band's edgier music, with its racy lyrics, is a far cry from the syrupy ballads that now rule the Chinese airwaves.

The Shanghai date was part of the group's "A Bigger Bang" world tour, in support of its album of the same name.

But a Chinese version of the album being sold at the show was mysteriously lacking several songs, just as the band's 2002 hits compilation "Forty Licks" contained only 36 tracks after China censors excised songs thought too rough for local ears.

Tickets for the group's maiden China show cost from 300 yuan ($37) all the way up to 3,000 yuan, on a par with American prices.

so that means if you paid the top prices, the concert was roughly $2.55 a minute. hell, it's cheaper to call china!
