Here come the second guesser's. It was a great set-list. They mixed it up good. All Down the Line, Bitch, opening with Start me Up. What does this band have to do? What songs to you want to hear? When will you stop? These guys are 70 years old. They are giving it their all. By playing the warhorses thats what people want to hear. There aren't 100 people there who know I got the Blues, or Loving Cup, or even Out of Time, to name a few. Chill people, Chill.
SO not true. If that were the case they never would have put Glastonbury/Factory Girl in the set list the other evening...they know their cannon of songs...and they know we know their cannon of songs...why they refuse to play so many great...fantastic deep cuts is something only they can answer....I guess they felt comfortable in highlighting the big 5 albums tonight. Hope people enjoyed the show...can't wait for vids....

That's the Stones. They never give you too much.
Missed chance for shure. Especially because of the recordings there was some hope for different stuff.I hope the playin was good.
Love in vain . .

Have you noticed that they look younger (especially Jagger) in the concert photos than in the photos taken between concerts. They must have really good make up pros doing their job before concerts, they look absolutely natural so it's done very well.

I knew I would look here and there would be whining about the setlist, blah blah.
Don't listen. IT WAS GREAT. And there was a nice Mick/Keith moment too.
It was a special night for me, just sorry my feet were too sore from dancing to make it to the pub to meet everyone.
Unless they were whining about the setlist, of course.

If i estimate correctly, on the four UK gigs of the "50 and counting Tour" the Stones have played 33 different songs, including some really rare numbers (Lady Jane, Factory Girl, 2000 LYFH, etc). And probably they will add up some (i guess four) more different songs on Hyde Park #2.
So, what the hell do the "all the time and for everything" complainers mean when they are talking about "boring lists"? How many times have they heard live "Bitch" or "Beast Of Burden" in the last years?
Once again: On the current tour the Stones have played in UK 33 different songs, so far. Exactly the same number of songs had been played in 1978, not on 4, 5, or 6 gigs, but on the whole tour... (I notice that because, as i see, the huge majority of the "setlist complainers" are yerning, in the same time, for the so called "golden years").

Totally agree with this comment, each Stones 2013 performances are instantly historical.
Set lists issues are NOT from true lifetime fans.
Many thanks to all who provide live updates & great photos!

Oh well, roll on next week. By the way, there were plenty of tickets available outside and I got in for and got about 30 yards from the stage with a perfect view.

Of course, right now, it's just a list...I'll have to wait for the video to show up to see and hear what's what but the photos of Mick & Keith beaming at each other bode well.
Undoubtedly best show ever.

And there was a real magic moment where Keith was up the catwalk and Mick followed him and as Keith was returning they met, Jagger wanted to pass him but Keith grabbed him as if to say, hi buddy, ain't it great. That was heart-warming.

It was lovely meeting you had a really great day.
I turned up at 6:30 this morning with the fast track payband (tier 3) and managed to nab an amazing barrier position on the catwalk. It was scorching hot, my dad and i got sunburnt but it was a magical gig. This was the first time I've seen the stones (too young) but they blew me away.

I like different opinions and debating BUT moaners and whiners are something else. For example all serious music enjoyers and stones fans know that the set list does not tell the whole story. When the band shines and there is magic in the air that is what counts. For example on the ppv gig last year i thought they got better and better as the show moved on and yes the later in the set the more warhorses.When sitting home in front of computer we tend to imagine the show from the set list and of course we all like rarities if they work well. But those who saw the show know.
And remember: Don´t take the Stones for granted, be critical with common sense and not at least thankful!
