Since I can't any longer figure out what is appropriate to say in other threads concerning these recent performances, I use the safe option and use this thread. The last place for a free talk and offering varying opinions?
I praised "Street Fighting Man" in Shanghai's thread, expecially Mick and Keith's contribution, now a few critical word. Man, I hear there a hole! I hear there something I don't especially like, and that is Chuck Leavell's piano doing those anti-climax-like, harmless but not-exciting runs in the final part of the song, during the part in which the whole song suppose to turns into a thunder storm. Remove that mickey mouse crap out and add Taylor there to do his thing and play his heart out! He knows how to this carry this gem into climax. THere is a clear job for him to do. Move this classic into guitar fiesta - three guitars on fire - and no hostages. The song offers a perfect template for that.
The same I would say of "Dead Flowers". It is okay now, especially Jagger sings it beautifully with his matured voice, but what I miss there is a guy making a regular c&w reading of the song something more cross-stylistic. More unique with some extra Stones-punch. A counter force. They are not trying to take part in some Nashville C&W competions for authentic hillbilly bands, right (and no matter how much they would try, they wouldn't do very well, thankfully...)?><
Okay, a fan boy wish talk I know I know - most likely neither of the songs is going to be played again during this tour, so all of this is very pointless 'whining' with no any realistic ground.
But let this opinion still to be heard!

I think that the songs played at the rehearsals are the songs that they want to play and feel like playing. These set lists seem to be determined by other factors >>>> at least to some degree.

I can´t for my life understand why some people have to contribute to threads that they clearly dislikes.

They ought to "accidentally" leave the doors open, turn up the sound, etc. maybe on one of those days where MT is with them, so we could get some great stuff ala Woodstock 78. The fans who are dying for the rare songs that they rehearse, or a three guitar lineup get their fix, and then they can go back to the same old, same old setlists and everybody wins. The world didn't end in the past when rehearsals leaked out.
