If there were, it was only because the shows were 50% longer!
Miss You and Start Me Up werent 'warhorses' in 1981-82, though. They were recent hits.
The only warhorses that were played on that tour were Satisfaction, JJF, Brown sugar, Tumbling Dice, HTW and YCAGWYW. Not even a quarter of the show on some nights.
In '78, they were usually playing about 18 songs per show - 8 new songs, 2 Chuck Berry covers, with only 4 of the remaining songs (BS/JJF/TD/HTW) being warhorses that were played regularly (SF man and Satisfaction got a few airings apiece)
