From the reviews read I think this was a great show put on by the Stones tonight. By all accounts their playing was over par and there was a lot of energy. I wish so many would stop complaining that they played so many songs "again". These are great classic Stones songs and nobody can say it was a bad set because they played them. A real fan hears the slight differences in the performance of each song at every show they see and can enjoy that. As BV stated in his review there was a slight hiccup at the start of It's Only Rock & Roll but the band caught the tempo soon enough. Id don't expect them to be perfect every step of the way, if they were then I would complain that they are playing the same old thing. Enjoy it for what it is folks.
ROPENI - you make me think of Quasimodo in the movie saying "Sanctuary". You repeat yourself all the time. Just substitute "sanctuary" with "nostalgia act".Quote

Ladies and Gentlemen, let's hear it for the fantastic standing stones..........
1. Get off of my Cloud
2. It's Only Rock'n'Roll
3. Tumbling Dice
4. Wild Horses
5. Emotional Rescue...alright, alright, me and doom are new but we're just passing through, honest.....
6. Doom and Gloom
7. Bitch (winner song choice)
8. Honky Tonk Women
9. Slipping Away (Keith, with Mick Taylor)
10. Before they make me run (Keith)
11. Midnight Rambler (with Mick Taylor)
12. Miss You
13. Paint it, Black
14. Gimme Shelter
15. Start Me Up
16. Brown Sugar
17. Jumpin' Jack Flash
18. Sympathy for the Devil
19. You Can't Always Get What You Want (with 'The Senzoku Freshman Singers')
20. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction (with Mick Taylor)
Great setlist for the first of three nights, but I still have to maintain that Slipping Away has no place in a Stones show anymore, because Keith's voice is so shot. What will be interesting however is to see what they come up with for the next two Tokyo shows, how much variation there'll be.
Lets face it folks The Stones are and have been for the last 20 years a Nostalgia Act,no more no less,it could be Vegas or Tokyo they will play the same songs over and over,this is what the majority of the audience wants,they don't give a shit about M Taylor,hell, most of them probably don't even know who he is,forget about them doing "rare' songs,they only may play some of them at rehearsals,but would never do it at a big concert,once again their audience now days only wants the "hits",so if you want to hear the warhorses for the million times,then pay the $600.00 per ticket and have a great time,the rest of us wanting something different will never get it....

Standard set list for a first show in a city. Let's see what happens for Tokyo 2 and 3. They may pull out some gems the way they did at Staples and Boston second shows last year.

The opinions of people who were there, and rocking with The Stones, are the opinions which matter the most, I look forward to reading more of these. Thanks in advance.
Going forward these threads should be devoted to only those people who were there -- no setlist complainers or setlist praisers. The point of a message board is not to kill time arguing about stupid things, or is it?

Slipping away has no business at a Stadium show Keith!!!! It totally slows the momentum of the shows. Stick with Happy and BFTMMR. This is getting embarrassing,

I was a Rolling Stones fan in my ten's & twenty's. Growing older, I am not a fan anymore. I like music when it's good, don't like it when it's bad. I respect Ronnie Wood for his humanity, I respect Mick taylor for his sensibility on guitar playing. I respect Keith Richard for the wonderful songs he wrote (Gimme Shelter & Wild Horses as exemples), but I lost all respect for the band because of their greedy attitude.
Anyway, this picture is just wonderful. Ronnie Wood & Mick Taylor playing together with the Rolling Stones is a dream come true. This picture is the best I've seen concerning the Mick Taylor "slight return". If YOU (no credits) took this picture, congratulations. Thanks Ronnie, YOU and ONLY YOU, Ronnie, made this thing happening/happens/happened. Sorry for my English.
Remember BV, when you phoned me in 1995 to get a ticket for Montpellier, you got it. But when a stupid french girl-fan (sway Stones) asked you in the early 2010's to ban me you did it. And you did it TWICE. I never get the reason why, apart of a "Somebody complains against you so I had to take action" message.
Of course, If you want to ban me again, it's up to you.
