They would do Some Girls because it's their biggest album, and they've played most everything from it anyway. And because the songs are so basic, it would be the album that would translate best live, particularly with the latter day stripped down stage arrangement. It would have to be an album that's had most of its songs played, because with most of their albums they've forgotten how to play at least half of the tracks from each album because so many of those songs have never once been played live. Therefore, Aftermath is out of the question (Out Of Time) as would be It's Only Rock n Roll (TWFNO). It wouldn't be Sticky Fingers because Brown Sugar would be featured during the "Hits" portion of the show. It wouldn't be Exile because it's too long and would basically be the whole show, and they'd want to leave half the show for hits. It wouldn't be anything up to Beggars Banquet because those albums have too many small pop obscurities that both the band and the general public have long since left behind. Beggars and Let It Bleed are the two main possibilities from their classic period, because each is short and solid enough, along with enough recognizable material, to work. Some Girls and Tattoo You from their middle period would be the only other possibilities, because they still have a feel for the music on those albums, but nothing later than those because they tend not to play too much recorded after Tattoo You anyway.
