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?Quote

They got 3 excellent concerts, full of great songs.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

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...

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

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?

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.

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