Is it too risky?
You may want to change songs but what do you think about the format?

Wyman has said that he will be interested in playing live with them once they have their decisions made ["They're lazy buggers!"] about returning to the stage. I doubt that Shattered would work, though. I don't think Bill's heart is in the disco/punk era, based on the direction his playing has taken over the last 20 years. How about having him in the blues set with Down in the Bottom, Slave, and Every Needs Somebody, because you'd want him in there for at least 3 songs. Why take a rest after only 7 songs? I would think people go to concerts for the live music experience, rather than for watching movies. Also, Taylor should be in for more than one song, and Little Red Rooster and Love In Vain should be among them. I'd replace the slow set with an acoustic set, which would include Sweet Virginia. It is likely that most of their shows next year will be in stadiums or large arenas, so what would be your ideas for the B-stage? I wish they would bring back a hidden nugget from their Out Of Our Heads (UK) album, like Talkin' Bout You, which would be perfect for just the core band to do at this point in their career, because it's mid-tempo and solid and takes them back to their Chuck Berry roots.

The Beatles did a version of this. You can't find the Stones version on YouTube.

Wow, thanks stonesnow for your very interesting and detailed answer!

Well, first of all let me tell you that I want Bill to the whole show, but if is not possible then I prefer him for a set at the end.

Actually I expected Taylor for the last 3 songs, not only one. You did a fantastic pick for him with "Love in vain" or perhaps "Time waits for no one", why not?
In my humble opinion, not so good for "Little red Rooster".

I understand you wish a "non stop" live show but the guys need to stand a world tour. I'm afraid it's not easy at their age.

I see "Talkin' bout you" as an excellent choice for the 60s set.

I had thought a more intimate concert for theatres, to play in arenas an acoustic set can fit well too. My choice: "Waiting on a Friend", "Till the Next Goodbye" and "Let it Bleed"

B-Stage just for stadiums: 1 cover, 1 warhorse, 1 sing-along song.

Let's see what happens in London & NJ.

Cheers
Alejandro

Slow set with Mick T could be

Winter
Moonlight Mile
Love in Vain

How about this kind of show for the next tour?

Nope.

No "Fortune Teller".

No "Fortune Teller" no ticket.

A set with Taylor MUST include Time Waits For No One!

Not a bad start at all, agree with Moonlight Mile tho. Would replace Sleep Tonight with Coming Down Again and work in Play With Fire.

This MT choice is really good! I have to tell you "LIV" could fit better in the blues set but who cares!

As I said, you can change songs but I would like to attend a show like that.
How much do you willing to pay for it?

Time Waits For No One is just about my favorite all time Stones track. I don't believe there exists a live version in the Stones' concert history, probably because only MT could do it the proper justice. Yeah, you're probably right about Little Red Rooster as well--melodic solos are MT's specialty, rather than slide. Best to leave that to Ronnie, or at least bring in Eric Clapton--that is, if he's forgiven Mick Jagger about L'Wren. I hope they have Bill Wyman in for a few songs, and that these songs will be available somehow--it would be great to compare how the Stones sound with Bill again versus how they sound with Darryl. So many to choose from, but a great song live to have Bill Wyman on would be Paint It Black--even on the Steel Wheels tours those sliding bass runs of his really brought the song to life in a way that Darryl never could.

Wyman has a special way to play the bass which fit perfect in the Stones, he really knows how to roll. I believe every fan miss him very much.

I see Ronnie in good shape to play well some solos and the slide parts.

Leave Eric at home this time and bring in Taylor to play: TWFN, SWAY and GS, then we could get some satisfaction at last.

Peace
Alejandro
