Ouch!!,hope you got somewhere cool and comfortable Rockman,and dont forget to keep hydrated.My neighbour brings over some of his homebrew when it gets warm up here - that's another story.

He should shorten his set to one song, and mix it up a lot more. I love cda but except that he will never play it.

It's not easy to mix up a one-song set.

Hahaha.

Have to say I never thought he'd play 'All About You' or 'Thru and Thru' so it was a huge and very pleasant surprise when he dusted those off on the BTB and Licks tours. I was at Madison Square Garden the night he debuted 'Thru & thru' and it was marvellous. He nailed it (and then quite hilariously botched the intro of 'before they make me run' - a song he could probably play in his sleep!)

No reason why he cant or shouldnt play 'Comin down again'. Whilst Mick has a bit of a thing about losing the audience's interest by playing too many ballads or lesser known songs, its really not an issue for Keith's set as a sizeable % of the crowd use it as a piss-break anyway. Something he's more than aware of and accepts.

If you guys want a change in Keith's set,you need to address your wishes to...Chuck.

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?

Chuck pitches suggestions. Mick then tells him to get real.

Thats basically it.

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?

The one gain out of that for the Stones would be that the merchandise sales would absolutely rocket,

Why would Mick Jagger need a 20-25 minute rest in the middle of a show?

Say what you will about the song choices. I have to admit one of the greatest concert moments I have ever seen was in vancover, last show for NA tour (B. Keith is in that grey period of folks wondering what his head injury is doing to his playing, Mick has cancelled shows for his voice. The tour video has a bit on the somber mood of this show, which as it snowed outside could be felt in the building, the mood not the snow

Mick anounces Keiths set. Keith walks forward to applause I have never seen before or since, truly heart felt wishes for him. He makes several attempts to address the mike but is turned back, humbly retreating not sure what to make of it. The rest of the band stands behind in a group acknowledgement of the admiration poured on Keith, Keith shrugs his shoulders at the band, he can not start. Mick mouths something in Keiths direction which appears to surprize him. On the next approach to the mike he anounces the band is going to let me play three songs!

So if his sets are so questionalble why was that so special a moment, how does a guy get applause like that?

Me LOVES K's set, in particular the slow numbers. He is able to recreate in a stadium the intimacy of a club. Plus, the band is able to show its sophisticated/mature side. Slippin Away is always my fav choice.

The first time I saw The Stones in '97 Keith opened his set with "All About You". People filed out for the bathrooms, or sat down and started chatting, faster than you could blink an eye

He did that at the Oakland '97 show, and my friend's wife was with us. She wasn't even a casual fan, just knew a few songs. Anyway, when he played AAY, she said, very surprised, "Oh my gosh, he's really good!" Not that this is the norm, but she was sincerely impressed. As was I.

Nice post. WE get it, Des. Thats the thing.

Kinda reminds me of seeing him in Berlin - my first show after the Fiji incident - seeing him hit his stride during that solo in 'Before they make me run' and getting pretty emotional realising that if things had been a little different, 'you wouldnt have been here tonight, mate'....

Three songs in Vancouver. I forgot about that. I think that was the only time it ever happened. Wish I'd a recording of that show.

Yes , he can do that.

I Hadn't really crystalised that thought before... but it's a rare talent.

hey guys !
I hope to see them for this new tour. I'm living in Paris , FRANCE and I hope to see them this Summer but anyway I would like to know which keef's song would you like to hear for this new tour?

Personaly I really want to hear SLEEPING AWAY and YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEAN IT and you ???

Coming Down Again and Slipping Away.

And then after his two song set, they should play Salt Of The Earth as a nice transition between Keith and Jagger's reentry to the stage.

Coming Down Again
Sleep Tonight
We Had It All

Little t & a

Connection..........or change the song and the lyrics to Connected as we all seemed connected these days.....

Salt Of The Earth

Not sure if it will works out right............Gimme Shelter?

__________________________

Keith will juggle between the three songs he has been playing thus far. It's meaningless to suggest what we would rather he play instead.

Coming Down Again

......although he probably wouldn't do two slow ones together so, alternate these with any other faster or reggae ones...........

...in other words... a(nother) perfect topic to be discussed ad infinitum here?

Wanna Hold You?

Always love hearing "You Got The Silver" and maybe do "Thru And Thru".

Coming down again and losing my touch

Learnin' the Game and maybe something for Phil Everly ..... Gone Gone Gone
