I tend to think of The Stones as performers instead of musicians. Eric Clapton is a musician, not a performer.
The Stones perform their songs, Clapton plays his songs.
Exactly! Performing live (putting on a show) is what Mick has said they love to do the most. Their actions support his opinion. They are showmen first and artists second.
Escape artists?
Escaped recording new music for the second leg of the 50 and Counting tour!

It's great to know so many people here are authorities on Jagger's mind.

Stones should shock the world and open with "Fight"! Let the world know the days of the warhorses are over!

The thing about a song like Worried About you is it showcases just how great a frontman Mick really is its a really good song for him to showcase everything he can do as a frontman. He starts at the electric piano in falsetto and then he can venture away and just take the microphine and be Mick Jagger. A real highlight for him to perform and showcase his talents live.

Yes, too many tours have fallen victim to ultra-safe greatest hits setlists, but they really have dug into their back catalog more than most people think.

Had It With You is okay but, I would rather hear literally 100 other songs.

What is wrong with trying to get our favorite band to realize the world is not going to end if they dare play some of their lesser know but equally great or in some cases greater songs than the same ones they have been playing for the past 30 years.?
What is wrong with trying to implore them to put on a fresh and unique show when the proce of a ticket is $600??

Dump the warhorses, Mick! Go for it! Stop playing it safe! Or is it that you guys lack confidence in digging deeper into you're amazing catalogue?
Not if they have Wood and Taylor to cover for him. Thats how its been for years. Keith is there for show, and other people make the music sound good. It didn't used to be like that, and of course I wish it wasn't, but Keith is essentially there for the opening riffs of songs, and then the rest (which he either plays well or not well) is covered with instrumental protection. No one is expecting them to pull out something totally rare and have Keith step up, without rehearsal, and play a blistering solo. Thats NEVER been his style. He just used to have the skills to improvise alittle better, but overall they can play new stuff whenever they want because Keith essentially does the same thing on every song.Quote

If Keith's guitar solo at Crossroads was any indication, maybe they SHOULD play it safe. If he strays too far from the tried and true, the results may be catastrophic!

So are you saying the Frontmanis an egotistical maniac whowill only dig deep in the catalogue if it makes him shine???

Jumpingjack - Dirty Work is a piece of garbage by far the worst album of the Stones career. 2 very good songs, 2 listenable and 6 turds.

Fight would be playing to empty the arena an absolute piece of crap. Dirty Work is the worst album ever put out by a top rock band. It is bloody awful and sounds like a bunch of unfinished demos. But hey if you like it more power to you but you aint ever gonna hear it live and I am thankful for that!!!

I think that he was talking about the "real", "hard core" fans that don't like any of their music since EOME. There are plenty here.
If you are referring to me,.......They could play the entire Voodoo Lounge album in concert and I would love it. Or play gems like Too Much Blood, Had it With You, One Hit, Where the Boys Go, Slave, Sparks Will Fly, Already Over Me, Mixed Emotions, etc...

rambler44 - I don't eat the same lunch every day, I do not have a limited mind (the limited minds can't face up to the truth man), and I was of the opinion that Mick Taylor played on some of those songs, did he not - like for example, Wild Horses, Bitch, Brown Sugar and Angie?
I am just telling it how it is - I might not necessarily play a lot the "warhorses" all the time at home, but at a live concert, I do want to hear them - as do 99% of the audience - these are what we go to see Mick Jagger and the boys perform, not a show full of obscure tracks - GET REAL!
"till the next time..."
