When I was looking for the setlist the the frayed website was the first one I read. I think now it's wrong, but there was definitely no Brown Sugar.Quote

I thought they played Jumpin' Jack Flash at every concert since its release...
I agree, they play it too fast and Keith doesn't play it properly - the opening riff anyway - in the same way he never plays JJF opening riff properly either.Quote
Well, anyway, I wouldn't be too disappointed about the lack of Brown Sugar. That's just one of those songs that, to my ears, never really worked live.
There's a few club shows where JJF wasn't played....Quote

I've got a boot of Stafford with no Brown sugar - although it's a combination of the 17th & 18th, has a blue cover & a picture of Mick on the back holding his hands to his head, - palms facing out.............called Stafford '76..........Quote

I wish I could read.
I was at the 17th May 1976 gig (not the 18th). The first of two Stafford New Bingley Hall gigs.
They didn't play Brown Sugar TWO nights running.
I can't find a set list for the 17th though.
Keith crashed his car after the 18th gig.

There may be a couple more ala '70's that I'm not aware of..........
Certainly. Especially the intro just can't touch the Muscle Shoals recording.Quote

"Brown Sugar" never really worked live? Wow, never thought I'd hear that. Have you heard any of the performances from '72/'73?

Hello everyone, long time lurker first time post.
I've only ever seen the Stones once at the first Stafford Bingley Hall in 1976 (Keith crashed the car on the way home to London after the next nights gig).
The night I saw them they didn't do Brown Sugar or Jumpin Jack Flash. I was so disappointed.
Here is the set list from that night.

Venue: New Bingley Hall - Stafford, UK
Setlist:
Honkey Tonk Women
If You Can't Rock Me

The next night they did BS and JJF right after IORR (as they did on most of the rest of the tour) and they also did SFTD (as an encore?).
Did they ever not play JJF and BS at a large gig from 1970 onwards, it must have been pretty exceptional.
The concert was terrible I'm sad to say, Bingley Hall is a big cow shed (I kid you not), the acoustics were the worst, and it was way too loud, all I heard was distorted overload for most the the songs and I was about midway back. I was a 16 year old kid, the only Stones fan at school, I travelled on my own to the gig from Birmingham (might not seem like much to you but quite an adventure for a working class kid who never went anywhere). I didn't think much about it at the time, it was great just seeing them, but when I reflect back on it and having listened to a lot of stuff on that tour I know they were not great that year (Mick's singing is at an all time low).
I remember Charles Shaar Murray in NME complaining about the volume at one of the earlier gigs. He said something about having the top of his head sliced off by the opening chords of HTW and shouting "TURN It DOWN". I think they were trying to break some indoor decibel record that The Who had set a few weeks earlier.
I wish I'd seen them in 72.

They had pretty good go at it at Altamont though.
Keith rarely played it like this in the years afterwards.
Maybe he forgot what it was like.
