They should shorten the amount of songs they perform to 15.... 18 or 19 is way too many. The shows get very boring after around song 14.

ANd the music is WAY to loud too!
And I can't understand...WHY do they need those awful drums, played by that old man with white hair??? It ruins the banjo-harmony!

It only gets boring by song 14 if the set has included "Miss You," "It's Only Rock n Roll," and "You Got Me Rocking" up to that point. Then you know a precedent has been set and even more warhorses are coming to close out the show. Not a good feeling.

Replace the ufo-rhythm guitarist & that old, ugly singer
and we might have something goin'.....

and put an extra zero on the ticket prices!

...and they need to replace that drummer as he has grey hair and get some young dude in - or even a drum machine!

.....and, and , and that stage is so big they should have an extra 50 musicians on stage to make it look full. How about the Mormon Tabernacle Choir?

WHAT!!!...Well then guess I dig being bored...!!!
Always thought I was a giver not a receiver.....



ROCKMAN

Too much guitar, I'd say.
And more clearly sung lyrics.
More electronic sounds. And, and..

yes oh yes they should do like in the 60s, like TAMI show: short, powerful, energetic, after all its called a bigger bang tour!!! the big bang was short, a bigger bang should be even shorter - once you noticed they are on stage they are already gone. so shorten the shows by at least 80% and rise the ticket prices by at least 300%, now that would be memorable!!!

And only play cities with more than 20 mill.inhabitants...

. . . and a drum machine to replace Charlie's out of date kit.

Less guitar and more Bobby Keys clones (God, what a terrible thought!)

Maybe dual keyboards a la Ferrante and Teicher.

P. Diddy as the opening act. (I can see the "Bring Back Kanye" petitions circulating now.)

How about a DJ making those backward record playing sounds they do?

You know what I agree! And they should fire all those icky old men and just leave Chuck Leavell to the solo career he's been destined to have!

And why do they insist on playing so much original music? Why can't the work in some Carpenters cover songs.

SAY WHAT?

Why don't those old English geezers let all the above ideas debut at the Bill Clinton fundraiser at the Beacon?

Yo Yo Yo,,,I want dancers! Lots of dancers! Yo Yo Yo... And people flying through the air on invisible wires.... And water! Lots of dancing water! And would it kill 'em to put the strobe light on every now and then?!? Sheeeeesh. I don't get these geezers. Keep it fresh man! Keep it street! Keep it real!

God, Please protect The Rolling Stones from Cirque d'Soleil

What's with all these new knuckleheads making ridiculously moronic posts? I mean, who gives an F what kind of cereal Mick Taylor eats! And shorten the setlist? what the F!

Concerts too long? Isn't that like breasts that are too big, or a dick that's too long?

Thank you!

I had a wonderful LOL over that one!

The singer should stand still; a person could get whiplash from watching.

downwithpbush: Just go to the bathroom after song 14, then you won't be as bored.

Why playing live? They look so tired end of the show. Playback would be great. 50 songs. Real time voting from the audience.

With dancers of course. Men (Chippendales for me?) and women.

dump that Mick Jagger guy, for afew of the upcoming shows,
and give Blondie Chaplin, a try out, as the frontman.

Great idea! But not the orginal versions from the records, please. Pre-recorded live versions will work. Could be done during the tour rehearsals. Guaranteed no @#$%&-ups and bum notes, and furthermore it would make set-list-changes quite easy with pre-programmed light show and even pre-programmed live mix. Would also give the band members more room to pose and clown around.

Drop the Rambler song and play Miss You for 30 minutes.

I think the only thing they could to to withhold their
reputation is re-record Satanic majesties all over,
and put in We Love You ass the Crown Jewel.
Brian's son Julian can attend.

Have another show at Altamont.

When some days of December have passed.
I know some guys who can do the security thing...
