Surely someone from the Stones camp reads this board and hears the feedback. We aren't asking for much, you would think they would want to deliver one last time.

If the stadiums are full of people happy to hear the hits one last time, that seems to be all they care about. BV says the Stones camp does read the board, but not the complaints. I am sure they are aware of the complaints. No Taylor, weak setlists, no adventure, weak weak weak stage design, etc... They don't care as long as the sales are strong.

There's no denying how much I love the Stones BUT I have decided not to go to any of these stadium shows for reasons that I've stated before ( chance of nasty weather, too many friggin people, too far away from the stage potentially etc) AND the main reason is the BORING set list for this tour. I can't help saying it! They stopped playing the songs I WOULD have made the effort to hear....and reduced the selections from Sticky Fingers to maybe 3 songs...and most nights, they DON'T play MOONLIGHT MILE! Why have they returned to the very OVER-PLAYED songs! I sure can skip HTW...I'll wait it out to see if by chance they add a few arena shows in the fall. Too bad really! I DID want a reason to go.

Shows they take seriously and that they stage so the greatest numbers of fans may experience and enjoy them to the highest degree.

Almost spit my coffee on the computer screen when I read this.If the 1965 version of Mick Jagger saw himself today, he'd kick his butt for mailing it in!

I think there's been a lot of positive reactions and comments to this tour along with legitimate complaints from some. Pretty well balanced from what I've seen, although I don't read every single thread.

Hmm, there's a fine line in all this. Personally I believe constructive criticism is good and blind faith is bad. Of course this can go both ways on both topics. However, I do agree with the notion it's great to have them on tour in 2015. And maybe we'll be lucky enough to hear some new studio music. I keep my fingers crossed.

The Stones have nothing to gain and everything to lose if they tried to write songs like they did 45 - 50 years ago.

Let's Cool It On the Complaints
"Brothers... sisters... cool it on the complaints. We're only performing what the masses want to hear. We don't give #$@! about what you "IORRians" want us to play. What are there, like 200 of you on this website? #@*& you all, we're a business. So just cool it, accept it, brothers & sisters." - Mick Jagger
Getting back on topic...
As an 18-year-old who was inspired to pick up playing guitar BY the Stones, it frustrates me that, unlike myself, the Stones don'tseem tocare about music, just money. They've become just a band that keeps playing 3/4 the same songs every show and don't care about creativity or music or being artistic, just money and their legacy. So that's why I complain about the Stones. Well, that, and they lied about bringing MT on this tour.

A man of few words.
I pretty much agree, while allowing for some discussion and disagreements.
What can get tiresome, imo, is constantly asking for stuff that ain't going to happen,
over and over. Yes, it would be nice, but...hey, we got Mick Taylor last time out.
