I think Keith's set has a very positive aspect on all Stones fans these days. At Boston 2, for example, (I don't live there; happen to be there on business) no one got up for a BR break. The audience participation was intense and attentive.
I wouldn't say this was necessarily the case a few decades ago. I can't give a timeline when level of audience appreciation changed. I'm only going by my some 40 years of Stones concert attendance and they were all different.
Also, he has his own arsenal of songs that could be considered. For example, "It's a Struggle" would be a great addition.
Although I'm relatively new to the board, I've heard this type of statement numerous times. Is it true Chuck determines the setlist or is it decided by committee?

Actually, his set is now a highlight of this Gorilla tour. I do agree, with song selections!
Excellent! I think the point here is that some Stones' fans would like to hear maybe one or two more songs in setlist with Keith singing solo. This is not necessarily a setlist argument. On the other hand, we can't dismiss the fact he is an equal architect in the construction of Stones music.
I thought that VH1 Stones Doc special back in 1990? showing Mick and Keith creating Mixed Emotions was awesome.
I like where you're going here Rockman,and not wanting to go against your better judgement,but what about Keith doing a smokin hot version of Billy Field's Bad Habits?

Why not extend the setlist to 5 songs? this would cover all exceptions and perhaps introduce new material. Also, this could give Mick Jagger more rest and extend the entire concert setlist.

5 songs would be interminable for 90% of the audience. And even as a Keith fan I don't know if I'D want 5 songs. All his songs kind of sound the same and by making more a slot you decrease the chances of hearing newer Keith songs. He plays the same 6 or so rotating in at this point. Now we'd just hear ALL of them all the time.Quote

I think most would agree here that when Keith's songs are being played, that's the cue for those in the crowd to go to the washroom or get something to eat/drink.
I would love to hear Sleep Tonight or We Had It All, which has always been one of my favorite Keith songs since I first got it on bootleg back in the mid 80's!

To satisfy all the alternate song requests named in this thread, Keith should just call Steve Jordan and Waddy Wachtel and have the Winos billed as the opening act for The Stones.

Keith this may well be wishful thinking but consider this:
Sitting at a piano - ALL ALONE Keith - and playing/singing "Somewhere over the rainbow".
I really believe if you concentrated for three and a half minutes on playing this and being the great musician you are and forget being "Keith Richards" rock star for this time you will have the crowd in the palm of your hand and will be the talking point of the tour.
Then have your three mates come out to join you in playing the Australian #1 hit "Under the boardwalk". You tickling the keys and singing; Mick strumming acoustic chords sitting atop the grand piano; Ron playing and upright bass and Charlie on a mini kit all huddled closely together.
May as well hope for a hurricane to start spinning the other way into a cyclone cos it's bored I know but what a lovely thought it is...

Oh, sure! Then he can break into:
Love is a Many Splendored Thing OR
Quando? OR
Please Release Me OR
The Impossible Dream OR
(They Long to be) Close to You OR
Top of the World OR,
if he REALLY wants to go big,
a duet with Mick on, what else,
We've Only Just Begun!
Just WOW!

Probably not. However him playing "Waltzing Matilda" might even be more hilarious than asking should he do it!

I realize the thread is about Keith - but I would love to hear Mick give Chad Morgan's " Thrashing Machine" a try..
" When Rosie was pretty and just seventeen
I showed her the works of me thrashing machine"

Wow, you all must have bladders of steel there. OK, they'll need to pipe it to the concession stands, where 80% of the audience will be lining up for a beer run, because if there's anything that kills the vibe of a rock concert it's a piano with no accompaniment.

I wish I could, Rockie--especially with the foot of snow we have here in Boston this week. Hope you will enjoy your Summer of Stones--Jumping Jack Flash sounds killer on this tour. Without the extra players dampening the volume, Keith really has it cranked up, and it will only leave you wanting more More MORE!.
