I'm really looking forward to seeing the Stones again, and I know I will have a great time, but (and there is always a but) I no longer have high expectations.

Hmmm... It's interesting to see that they have not rehearsed Satisfaction and Jumpin' Jack Flash... Gimme Shelter? (Waiting for Lisa?)

And I have to say that with the album titles added to the list, and thinking about all the great songs they have recorded, but rarely played live, I really wish they would be a little -- just a little -- more adventurous. Hand of Fate, Crazy Mama, Hot Stuff? Slave? (Jam songs like Can't You Hear Me Knocking are the true highlight for fans and the band alike.) Time Waits For No One? Till The Next Goodbye? [A fitting way to say goodbye to Asia, Australia -- Wikipedia: "An overlooked song from the Stones canon of work, Till the Next Goodbye has never been performed live by the Stones and is not included on any compilation albums."] Cook Cook Blues (with Taylor -- I want more blues)? No Expectations (with Taylor who said that's his favorite Stones song)? Child Of The Moon? Dance Little Sister? Sad Sad Sad? (It sounds soooo good on the 1990 Wembley bootleg, and it truly rocks pulling you in.) Please Go Home (as the encore -- could be a crowed pleaser and an easy song to play)? Had It With You? Time Is On My Side? 2000 Men? More hot stuff from the 60's? And I could go on.

I know this is mainly up to Jagger... and he doesn't like taking risks. So it will be Tumbling Dice and Miss You again (which are great songs, but...).

I know wish lists are on everybody's minds, and I have no intention to start another one. But I know they are capable of playing songs that they don't usually do. Rocks Off or All Down The Line are good ones, but we heard them before. The Some Girls material are not rare at all. Worried About You? Nice, but we heard it a few times, and we will not go mad about hearing it again. Let It Bleed? We got that one a lot if you think about it.

This time they are playing smaller venues, and tickets are more expensive, so it's very likely that the audience will consist of more hard-core fans who would appreciate the odd songs.

I always wondered why they are not digging deeper into their archives. They could easily do it. Even The Who (who don't change set lists a lot) would do the complete Tommy or Quadrophenia, meaning that in the end they do a lot more songs...

I know that they would need to seriously rehearse the rarely played or never-before-played songs, but they got all the time in the world, don't they? And this is what they do for a living. They are lucky they don't have to check in every morning at 9 am and work at least 8 hours a day 5 days a week. I know they are old, but hey! I know some old people who are in worst shape than Jagger and they still work 5 days a week, cos they need money to survive, to buy food. So how about the Stones work a little harder? For you and I...

Moonlight Mile will be great! And I am happy for Slipping Away. Love In Vain with Taylor? Hell, yeah! She Was Hot would be "cool" if they've done it. And they have to do Can't You Hear Me Knocking. They will not do Bo Diddley or Route 66, unfortunately...

The reason why I want the Winos back on the road is because I know they would surprise me night after night. Don't get me wrong, I'm really looking forward to seeing the Stones again, and I know I will have a great time, but (and there is always a but) I no longer have high expectations.

I don't understand this (seriously). If you're looking forward to it and know you'll have a great time, how can you not have high expectations?

"About GS, my guess is that it is out of the setlist because Keith had trouble playing the intro on the last tour."

Dandelion, judging from the clips that happened on two or three nights, only, on the last tour. The intro was usually nice and sentimental enough, IMO.

I agree, but with Keith's swollen fingers, it was hard for him to do it. He had problems on all the shows I've seen. But seemingly, it was only during the intros...

I didn't mind that at all, and thought it was kinda charming. But who knows what Keith thinks? I was merely speculating here.

That one is not bad, where he really had problems with it was in 2012, and with the groove of the song in general, it was a bit painful to see that at the O2. Seems he was just a bit rusty.

With the fantastic HP versions I doubt this one is going away ;-) Could Taylor be heard on it yesterday?

I still hope that they will play Lady Jane again which sounded really great the one time they performed it in London.

Hopefully they got the message that if they bring out the qualities of three guitarists there will be spectacular concerts (even for those too young to remember Mick Taylor as a band member)!

As much as I appreciate MickT I always found that Taylor vs. Wood discussion simply ridiculous. It makes me happy to hert that they get along excellent with each other, the best thing that can happen to the Stones.

This photo makes me think of what Groucho Marx said to Ronnie when they met. GROUCHO: "That's the most ridiculous haircut I've ever seen. Are you a man or a chicken?"
