Older Stones fans don’t use capitals and type their apostrophes upside down

Saw Mick's Birthday jam with Stevie Wonder. Was not expecting a pie fight. Amazing, amazing show, as was the other one I saw that week.

also when i was at the 2007 gig at the 02, there was this older gentleman there with his wife and when the band performed the newer songs he seemed to turn to his wife with a vague look as if he didnt recognize some of them, songs like, rough justice, start me up. and was wondering if he was expecting the earlier and better known songs.

just looking at set lists throughout the years and ive come to the conclusion a couple of points.
concerts from the mid 70,s onwards to the current day with the exception of the 81 and 82 tour seem to have a mid point of the concert as 1971 or 1972 if listing songs chronologically.
but the 81 and 82 tour were more relevant to current material, and for concerts of this era, more than half the songs would come from the post 1976 period.
another point is, since the brian jones period, the mid 60,s has often been neglected in concert taking into consideration the popularity of the band at this time.
so what i was curious about, is there any fans who went to stones concerts from the mid 70,s to early 80,s who went along expecting to hear classic well know stuff like
its all over now
the last time
satisfaction
not fade away
19th nervous breakdown
paint it black
lady jane
lets spend the night together
ruby tuesday
and instead got these instead
when the whip comes down
respectable
hand of fate
fingerprint file
she so cold
neighbours
black limo
fool to cry
and if so, were you dissapointed, surprised or totally aware of the newer stuff despite it not been as well known to the general public.

I'm 60, so I'm certainly an older Stones fan. Been watching and listening to the Stones since I was a young kid (1964 )--
Never been disappointed going to a Stones show. NO matter what the set list. Always a treat. Always a great time. Always a thrill. Of course some shows better than others, but never been let down.
They're the STONES, right ?
