why is brown sugar missing from the list.
From the THAT'S Interview with Mick: "Back in 2006, Chinese authorities cut five Stones songs because of suggestive lyrics - 'Brown Sugar,' 'Honky Tonk Woman,' 'Beast of Burden,' 'Let's Spend the Night Together' and 'Rough Justice'."

Isn't that the Tumbling Dice backdrop?

So still no hard confirmation on whether they played TD or not? Hopefully it will be confirmed by a soundboard boot of this unique show! Great setlist either way.

Wow, what a weird show - seats in the pit, no Brown Sugar or HTW; adding SFM and ADTL. Must have been pretty cool. I suspect it will be back to business as usual in Singapore, but this one will be nice to watch. Did they allow filming?

It was in so many respects a dream Stones gig. All the concerns about seats in the pit evaporated as soon as you saw the layout and took note of the fact that security was totally cool with the first 2 to 3 rows being out of their seats and hanging out up on the security barrier. Also, the setlist was somewhat of a departure from previous shows on this tour to date, so that was nice. Another observation, the stage seemed significantly lower in overall height than say in Macau, so even from the rail - there was a perfect view all the way back to Charlie and even behind him.
Met the most delightful Stones fans from Beijing, and aldo from Kazakhstan. Just the PERFECT Stones show really: the Rolling Stones on total fire offering up the most interesting setlistvin a good long while, the pure unadulterated pleasure of meeting a diverse range of fans from not only the host country but also elsewhere, not to mention enjoying the hell out of Shanghai for a week.
Had a blast. Thanks "Ms Travelling Companion", and thanks "Rolling Stones".

Question....
If Macau is part of the People's Republic of China, then why would songs be banned in one place, but not the other?

In the middle of the show, in fact during Miss You, Keith's personal assistant Tony Russell walked up to me and asked me if I was from Latvia. He gave me 3 guitar picks and took my "Latvija" scarf to give it to Keith. I had had the scarf at least since 2006, where you can see it on the Biggest Bang DVD (also Shanghai) during Midnight Rambler.
