Well, dear friend!
If the Stones should do only stadiums, we would be presented with the old warhorses ( which isn't bad either ) and the so called more odd songs wouldn't be heard at all. I like the idea of the Licks tour. What I want them to do is a longer b-stage set where they could do some more accoustic songs like Sweet Wirginia, Sweet Black Angel and that sort of stuff. Saw that on one tour when they used a b-stage gliding out into the crowd of people and back again.
That was great!
