I am pissed. How can they waste their last concerts ever in Japan with 19 song sets full of warhorses. I was already kinda pissed when I went to their concert in 2006. It was great, but the set was so boring, I thought then. Well, at least they did As Tears Go By and Streets of Love which must be considered rare treats by 2014 standards.

And before you kill me for being a setlist whiner: I am just not willing to spend hundreds of bucks of money I literally don't have for my absolutely favourite band to hear them play 40 Licks, Disc 1, Slipping Away and Before They Make Me Run! They could bring in more rarities in 2012-2014, so why not now?

They got 3 excellent concerts, full of great songs.

Come on. How many loyal Japanese fans do they have? A huge number. Many going to all the shows. You don't think those fans were disappointed with the lack of effort put into this three show run?

It´s pretty simple: CYHMK at Glastonbury was one hell of a highlight and I was "shocked" that they didn´t played it at thoe HP-gigs (which I attended). I doubt they will play it on that tour (was it rehearsed in Paris?), because it doesn´t really fit to the "setlist-system" (because it´s just a bit too long).

CYHMK is indeed kind of a holy grail concerning MT and the Stones, at least for many hardcores I think, and for me ...

But we have this great soundboard-bootleg from Glastonbury, track No9, play it loud and often!!!

Yes we must be glad we have Knocking in great quality from Glastonbury. Every time I listen to it it's a treat again. By far the best thing they did since the whole thing began in November 2012.

I'm sure there were people who went into that show tonight thinking "Night 3 - we're gonna get it".

I even bought the godfather release, one out of 6 silver pressed bootlegs I own! Guess who is playing lead guitar on the other 5?

I think the simple reason for omitting CYHMK in the setlist is that the band loves MR more.

They probably think playing several 8 minutes +-songs during a show is a bit too much as well.

I love both songs, and imo they could easily alternate every other show between these two excellent numbers.

I don't know a soul who was hoping for Streets of Love at the Tokyo Dome shows.

That's probably true, even though those who disagree, disagree loudly

+1. When at Hyde Park 2 I noticed the congas being put on stage before the gig started, I told everyone that we'd listen to "Can't You hear Me Knocking? and that I was so excited about it. Go figure what a disappointment was that song not being played!!!!

I'd agree with it since they ignored iCYHMK from 1971 - 2002 while Rambler was played quite a bit during the years.

How many gigs did they play in the US, and how many times did they play CYHMK? And the beef is that the Japanese didn't get it once in three shows? (Geddit? Japanese beef? Nvrmd.) I was very much hoping for it myself, but I sure as hell didn't regard it as disgraceful that I didn't get it, given the other great songs I got.

It's time for someone in the Stones camp to ask the fan base..."Can you hear the music?"

You mean with the exception of Silver Train, Doom And Gloom & Emotional Rescue the other great songs you got that you've been getting in Japan since their first visit in 1990?

And please spare me the oft-repeated line about them being great songs -- we all know that. But are they the only great songs the Stones have ever written?

I guess they don;t want to give Taylor the extended solo that he gets in CYHMK. Too out front. Rambler is much more of an ensemble piece. Too bad because CYHMK, when they play it, is spectacular.

Great review Toru A, thanks for that. Sounds like a solid show without any real surprises. It will be interesting to see what they maybe add as the tour rolls along.

And just to be contrary, I'll join your army DP for One More Shot, although we'll probably go down after it's fired.

There are few of us, but we are strong...

Add me to the One More Shot party - I'd have been here before but I've only just got home and read the thread.

As it was uploaded two hours ago, it probably is from today's show - but I don't know...

Thanks for posting!

Dandie, it's from Abu Dhabi!!! 100% sure (did conclusive research)

This MR I mean:

What attack! Talk of hitting the stage! Talk of starting with a bang! Look at Ronnie! This must be the 90s or something?

That's Live At The Max, filmed during the Urban Jungle World Tour 1990.

What a band indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, I was unclear. I'm not in Japan, I was saying that I was hoping for it on the US tour more than once or twice. Such as on a night when I was there.

And no, I guess the songs I heard aren't the only ones they've ever written, but I enjoyed the hell out of them, so I contained my disappointment over CYHMK.

Midnight Rambler from Tokyo tonight.

I was speaking generally about the same songs being played in Japan so I apologize for the appearance of it being directed at you.

The US shows were better than this. We got variety, relatively-speaking. I went to 4 and got Knocking on the last night. I was certain I was going to get in the second night in Boston -- I was disappointed that I didn't despite the fact I got a good Memory Motel and my favorite Emotional Rescue of the tour.

That's Steel Wheels or Urban Jungle, with Mick's mullet and Bill on bass at stage right.

Thanks!
It would be great to get Slipping Away in this quality too.

I am just back from the Tokyo Dome show number 3. What a fantastic experience. And how LAME and tasteless it is for people who DID NOT GO TO THE SHOW and who DO NOT EVEN LIVE IN JAPAN to complain about what the STONES served to the Japanese fans at this show. The show was great, the crowd was great, and everybody was happy.

Even if internet is open, it does not mean I will accept any kinds of lame and stupid comments about shows. There is a separate thread for comments about setlists and ticket prices. Please respect the fact that this is a thread about experiences and feedback from the show TOKYO #3. It is NOT a thread about set list policy.

Did you go to the show? Why do you fill this thread with your negative frustrations? I will suggest you move your comments over to the thread ab out set list comments, because I am really fed up of reading such off topic comments in a thread where people are supposed to report on what ACTUALLLY HAPPENED at the show. Not what YOU wanted them to play for some weired reason.
