A tremendous rendition indeed! Love the DEAD!
That would be a show killer. The opening song is the highest energy moment of a show. You can't kill that moment with a slow, sit down chick moment.
I agree. The lights go down, adrenalin starts pumping and they come out with a slow tune or ballad? These are the Stones tour not Seals and Crofts.
That would be a mistake too. The opening song has to be full of energy and something that everyone will recognize. It has to be a sing a long type of song for the audience to release that energy.
Obscure and B-sides belong inside the setlist. That is why I despised the inclusion of "Let It Rock" as a 1978 opener. While hard core fans and completists probably loved it, newer fans and casual fans never heard of it and could not sing along and participate in the opening volley. I think they realized that and never used that type of opener again.
Good post! Remember also that The Stones don't bring on the horn section until a few tunes in. I thought Tumblin' Dice might be a good opener but not wthout the horns.
"The opening song has to be full of energy". Is there any song which has more energy than this up-tempo tune from OOOH? I don't think that they must begin with a sing-a-long song. "Not Fade Away" in 94/95 wasn't nor "Let It Rock" in 78. "She Said Yeah" is an all-time hard and fast Rock'n Roll tune, which would demonstrate that there is no bunch of old men on the stage, but a most powerful band.
imo not fade away was just a little bit more than an intro. the first song wich kicked the show off was usually tumbling dice

Would love to hear them do either song. Mick's version of Mother at Webster Hall is good but I think the Stones could do better.

Would be cool, but if there is a next tour, I'm sure the band will surprise us instead with something clever like "Start Me Up."

It shouldn't be a rocker. It should be something different. Like Time Is On My Side or maybe just Mick and Keith doing some slow song on stools. Or go in the direction they did with the VL tour.

Great idea! That would knock the hard-core fans for a loop and it would be a treat for the 'tourists'...who would probably think it is a great punky new song...and if they do the song anything close to the raw and fiery version on the video it would also light the place on fire!

Yes! Have You Seen Your Mother/We Love You would be a perfect opening/closing combination.
If there are any Stones lawyers reading this, could you pass that along?

I think "She Said Yeah" from "Out Of Our Heads", in the same up-tempo as the original does.

Obscure and B-sides belong inside the setlist. That is why I despised the inclusion of "Let It Rock" as a 1978 opener. While hard core fans and completists probably loved it, newer fans and casual fans never heard of it and could not sing along and participate in the opening volley. I think they realized that and never used that type of opener again.

Agree with you, therefore they (as done) should start with Satisfaction, Start me Up and the like to create an up-mood. And: Then we'll know they won't be in the warhorses section...
