clips how they discuss / prepare the setlist (exspecially who is involved)
teir warming up 5 minutes before the show (like Mick singing, Keith and Ronnie playing snooker...
Chuck looks through the back catalogue and pitches an idea.
Mick looks at the back cover of 40 Licks and laughs in his face.
Simples.
We need him to look a little bit closer at the back cover of 40 Licks ..... Mixed Emotions, Fool to Cry, It's All Over Now, Love is Strong, UnderCover of the Night etc. !!
Maybe he could even take a look @ the back covers of other "Greatest Hits" albums ..... Waiting on a Friend (Jump Back), PLAY WITH FIRE (Hot Rocks), Rip This Joint (Made in the Shade), Hang Fire (Rewind), Time is on My Side (Rolled Gold / Singles Collection), Dance Little Sister (Made in the Shade), HEART of STONE (Big Hits .... High Tide).
These are some hits (12 of them) that they should be focusing on at this point,in my opinion,all things considered.

Totally agree.
Its not unreasonable that a Stones show primarily focusses on their most recognisable songs.
The problem is that it always seems to be the same 10-12. They have a LOT more well known and commercially successful songs than that, though. A bit more rotation on a nightly basis isn't unreasonable. You'd still actually be getting the same % of 'crowd favourites'
Perfect example - 'Out of Time'. A song that if performed I guarantee you that 99% of the people in the audience would know and would be perfectly capable of singing along to. Even though the Stones' own version is on a 48 year old album and was never actually a major hit.
Number of times they've played it since it came out?
Er...none.
