If the Stones (read Mick) are so desperate to appear "current", why is 95% of their setlist from 1981 or earlier? Surely they would favor us with the fantastic "hits" from ABB, Voodoo Lounge and Bridges To Babylon. "Anybody See My Baby" with that rap bit in the middle was another attempt to be "current". That sure has aged well.

I think Mick sees the PPV as a way to hit new/younger markets, hence the appaling guests list (for me anyway).

Jagger's obsessed with staying "in touch". One might say : "in touch with what?"

Mick was always the businessman. Who is going to command a larger audience on PayPerView? Lady Gaga or a somewhat pudgy Mick Taylor?

Now you're being mean

So what? This I'm actually interested in.
Gaga has said she grew up listening to the Boss. She's got great taste in music and she is supremely talented, one of the most talented and original of her generation of artists.
Gaga is someone who can just sit in a studio and play the piano and sing. I keep hoping she does that at some point for an entire album.
Gaga makes more sense than Aguilera or Blige or any of the other current 'guests' they've invited. Gaga is actually a rock fan who knows the Stones' music.

I don't know why there is so much animosity with this announcement.

I'm going to enjoy seeing how this turns out. Gaga is great, and even if it implodes, it'll be one for the ages.

This is pure entertainment. The boss and black keys as well...what's the problem here, this is going to be great!

Everyone hailed the band for stripping down for the London show and now they bring the already has-been Gaga girl to the PPV...?.

But they didn't strip down all that much. They had everyone they usually have on stage, except Blondie and a horn or two. Big deal.

it's not about getting new fans for the Stones it's about selling the PPV. It's probably not all up to the Stones because they are probably guaranteed their fee no matter how many sales there are. The promoter needs to sell this thing worldwide.

I heard Lady GAGA impacted ticket prices.

Now that she'll be there, $750 for the front row, $1,000 for the last row. And if you pay $2,000 you dont have to go at all!

Perhaps so but it effected the Stones' playing and has tightened Keith especially...finally bringing back his attention to the guitar. No denying that.

Seriously folks, I like Bruce. I bet they do a Chuck Berry with him. Bruce said he learned all his Chuck Berry licks by listening to Keith.

I have no idea who the Black Keys are.

If Lady GOOGOO is up there and Mick Taylor is not, I think I'm going to cry. MT and Bill should be there for several songs, minimum. Actually, they should both be on satge for the entire show.

Lady GOOGOO = I need some Maloxx..........

don't give me that ole one two, one two three four

Lady Goo Goo. Ha! Ha! Ha! What's next, another Bill 'metal detector' joke?

Man this is too bad. I was really looking forward to PPV. I am not a fan of GooGoo at all! But I will wait to pass judgement. Bruce, not a fan, but I respect him, and he should be fine. Black Keys! AMAZING! WOnder what they will do with the boys.

Lady Gaga.

Mick Taylor really doesn't have a fan base like Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga. Taylor plays at very small venues and has trouble selling those out. I dont think there is much love lost between Richards and Jagger and Taylor.

Reminds me of the song Yesterday's Papers.

Yeah, right. We saw what happened when they didn't play Satisfaction at the first show in London. Be realistic. It's only us goofball hardcores that give a damn about the rarities. The vast majority of concert goers want to hear the warhorses over and over and over until death. Accept it. Or move on.

Jeez. What is the matter with some of you people??

most of us are just old, jaded and cynical. it's obvious we are sad, pathetic old sots who are desperate in our attempts to bring others down with our wretched attitudes and views about the stones. i can't believe you had to ask.

So now that you have identified your problem do the honorable thing and fix it.

Lady Gaga doing Led Zep before the calculated image and direction change.

Gaga singing with Brenda? [sigh]

Thanks Max...Besides, he missed my point entirely. I wasn't complaining about the setlist or saying I wanted to hear rarities, merely pointing out that the vast majority of songs are 30 years or more old, hence not "contemporary".

I personally would LOVE to see songs played from those albums, IT WOULD BE EPIC!

Yes, Well I can appreciate that almost any Artist worth his/her salt
would jump at the chance to Guest w/The Stones - but Bill Wyman & Mick Taylor
WERE Rolling Stones - shouldn't they be invited for the Anniversary "finale"?
