"No my friends the answer is The last time. Not as a message for anything (but "maybe the last time" is true this time, who knows) but think of a long version of the riff of this song in the dark!!"
Good idea, but the problem is that Keith is not able to play the riff. Perhaps he never was; it was played by Brian in the original.
But if not "The Last Time" I would prefer also that kind of "surprise" opener, like "Under My Thumb" was at the time, and "Not Fade Away" later. Yeah, maybe "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby?": they could make massive that intro of that loud noise (whatever it is!??), and they certainly have the horn section to back it up like in the original..
I also like the idea of "Sympathy"; it might make a huge opener, or "Gimme Shelter" - you know, the riff starting quietly, perhaps the the lights out, and then little by little, getting bigger and bigger, lights on, the drums in.. when Jagger would show up and start the first phrase the whole audience would be eating from his hand..
