I tend to believe old Bill (and the articles above), at least with regard to Knocking [...]
Well yes so do I; BUT - there are a lot mistakes, at least "setlist-wise" in Bill Wymans book. I was not prepared for those "obvious mistakes"......as Bill previously seem to have it all under control.
But - at least he was right about the 1971 setlist !
What is Bill's source of the setlist, his memory or his diary or ?

I am probably wrong but I think they had rehersals in 1972 in the USA and fooled
around with CYHMK on some soundcheck boot.

Did the plexiglas guitar(s) get stolen at Nellcote?

Hello Mathijs!
You say that we knew for long that CYHMK & WH were performed by quoting an interview with Jagger.
The NME was indeed very close to the Stones from ~1970 to ~1976, thanks to reporters like Roy Carr, Charles Shaar Murray and Nick Kent.
The only thing is,how much can we trust Mick Jagger remembering setlists??
I seem to remember a Jagger interview in NME from the mid-seventies, when Jagger stated, that they had also performed "Sister Morphine" once!
I know I made a mistake, when I sold all my NMEs back in the eighties;
if I still had them,I would spend a week trying to find that interview again;
if only to see whether or not my memory serves me well!!
Ah, I forgot,thanks of course to Jean Marie & Erik!

I went to one of the Manchester shows in March 71, and I'm pretty certain CYHMK and Wild Horses weren't played - Brown Sugar and Bitch were introduced as new songs from Sticky Fingers, but the rest of the set were familiar songs. The other thing I remember was Keith picking up his acoustic for Love In Vain, and finding it was so far out of tune that they abandoned it.

There must be a couple of thousands of people who were at the show, I presume. How come
none of them is posting here on IORR?
Probably because it was 40 years ago and they're now around 60 and the vast majority wouldnt be interested in internet Stones sites let alone discussing the minutiae of set lists which, at the time, didnt seem to be of any consequence.
Its easy to forget sometimes that the % of us who give a toss about these things is very small indeed.
However, I include myself in that minority so thanks to jean-marie and Erik for the confirmation of something I've always suspected was correct.

Here a news-article from the performance in Newcastle:
" [....] The rest of the set is built on the emotional platform created by that number ["Midnight Rambler"] A new song follows, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", fast and jumpy in the same vein as "Jumpin Jack Flash" marred only by some flat picking by Keith on his plexiglass model. His gutty tone makes way for Taylor's more refined approach. Jagger retires for a moment to the sidelines, puts on his cap, and then turns to Jim Price, as if to say "going all right ennit". Another very melodic, new cut called "Wild Horses"- "they couldn't drag me away" sweeps melodically in. [....]"
(from Melody Maker 03/71)
" [....] Somthing old something new. Something borrowed something blue. That was the music menu the Stones served up at the City Hall, Newcastle, last week. [....] Something "new" were things like "White Horses" and "Prodigal Son" [...] "
(from Disc and Music Echo 1971)
Another newspaper review from the time adds further confirmation:
"After much shilly-shallying and years of talk about 'longing to get back on the road' the Rolling Stones finally made it to the City Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne, where they opened their first national tour since 1967. [....] With four new songs to add spice (including a really beautiful one 'Wildhorses'), it took them half-an-hour to warm up [...]"
(from Manchester Guardian, March 5, 1971, p. 10)
Great thread, by the way.

Wow..amazing photos! I've never seen most of these before. It's amazing how small and intimate this hall was. Look at the fans just sitting nonchalantly in the seats behind the band. And that huge pipe organ. They should have had Nicky Hopkins play on it for "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

Is there any definite proof that Keith used the acoustic for Wild Horses?
During all other 1970s performaces of this song he played it on the electric.
I can imagine he used the acoustic for "Prodigal Song" but wouldn't be surprised if he went electric on "wild Horses" as he also does on "Dead Flowers"

No I'm afraid no definete proof. My comment about the acoustic being used for Wild Horses could very well be wrong.
But I'm fairly certain I've seen a photo of Rolling Stones at TOTP 1971, doing "Wild Horses", in which Keith used the same acoustic guitar....or a quite like one. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't do electric in concert....as TOTP was a playback with live vocals anyway.
If somebody has a TOTP "Wild Horses" photo....please put it up here
Can't recall where I've seen that (or *those*) photos......hmmmm...

That acoustic is the late '60's blonde Gibson Hummingbird. It is most probably the one Brian played at Redlands in '68, the one used on about all SF and Exile tracks, and used on some '72 shows, and the first couple '73 shows. In all likelyhood it is the guitar used by Jagger throughout the 90's.
On the 1970 tour Keith used a Harmony 12-string for the acoustic tracks.
It would be quite an experiment to amplify an acoustic in '71 with these banks of amps behind it...it could be a reason why they only did it one or two times.

Yes - Little Queenie, Satisfaction and the other "oldie"....Let It Rock was performed there. "Miss You" was not yet written....so everything was silent when doing the bridge. A little aquard moment, IOW
