Once again they reharse all this great music,and then come show time is like they get afraid,and go back to the same old boring set,but like somebody else said we can't expect anything more from 70 year old men....

Hasn't Mick said in the past that they know that if they play obscure stuff that they will lose the majority of the audience? I don't know if it's a case of being afraid or rather just realizing that there are only 15 IORR members in the audience...

Again - songs on albums that have sold millions of copies apiece cant be, by any stretch of the imagination, described as 'obscure'. An 'obscure' Rolling Stones song is something like 'Jump on top of me' - not something from 'Sticky Fingers'.

If Mick is too reticent to perform them, it says more about him than the audience.

The show was brilliant. Sloppy as hell, way too loud and in a room full of echo where the best sound in the house was supposed to be.

After a blistering set by the warm up-act, Big Bang, I was curious about how the Stones would follow. One simple answer: By turning up the volume - loud! (And Big Bang was loud as well, mind you).

In short, the first half of the show was a bit shaky, with some exceptions:

- Worried About You was stunning!
- The rendition of Let's Spend The Night Together was probably the best I've ever heard
- Emotional Rescue was great fun, although Mick had some hearing problems (something he had quite a few times during the show - starting singalongs on the wrong beat etc.)

They had problems ending All Down The Line (which was a fantastic version anyway), and kept on playing forever, before Ronnie wrapped it up by pushing his effect pedal, playing the riff on his light strings to get Keith and the horns on track.

Then came Keith's set...

A lovely You Got The Silver. I like his other ballads, but on nights like these you'd want him to keep it in the setlist forever.

Can't Be Seen...
What a mess! What a lovely mess!! From the get-go, this is awesome. A guitar heavy version, with great singing from Keith. Then they get lost - or more correctly Keith gets lost, and Ronnie had a vague idea of what to do, but obviously wasn't quite sure What happened was that Keith just withdrew from it all, and kept on playing one chord. The rest of the band tries different solutions, because Keith didn't consider starting the next verse as an option. The Ronnie decides to step up. He moves over to Bernard and Lisa, points at Bernard and a couple of seconds later Bernard sings the beginning of the bridge, with Keith following a second later. All the same, this was a lovely experience of an organic band, who takes chances and creates music on the spot without taking themselves to seriously

MR was great as always, and Mick Taylor played his a$$ off. He got great reviews in the norwegian press, and the ever-returning question of why they're not using him more was asked again.

And now, there is a reason why the warhorses get played everytime! My goodness, how good those songs were yesterday. This Gimme Shelter is up there with the best ones ever. Despite Mick's hearing problems, something he coped with by cutting words and by "speak-singing", his interaction and dueting with Lisa was simply amazing. Of course I'm biased by watching that from a couple of meters distance, but it was lovely - and the crowd was amazed.

We know the rest of the set, we heard the songs many times in concert - but when played well, those songs are the best songs in the world - and yesterday they were goose-bumpingly fantastic.

They added a new little gosple coda on YCAGWYW after the ending, which took the audience completely by surprise. That was brilliant

Cheers to all the new IORR friends I've made during this week. It's been a gas!

Little disappointed that they've stayed with a 19 song set. But for most Europeans, they heard many songs for the first times which is nice. First time for Doom & Gloom, Emotional Rescue and and CBS, and Worried About You is a great deep track. Good show.

Thanks DP. I wasn't meant to be harsh...maybe I was, although the solo did resemble one of those hurdle jumpers at the olympics who are doing great and then trip on the 3d to last hurdle

So you seriously think that it should be forbidden to have an opinion about the setlist? I will see them in Stockholm, but I can´t deny that it would be nice to see some more "obscure" songs in the set.

aint nothing wrong with that setlist,
All Down the Line, ER. Worried, Lets Spend the Night! And any show with both Shelter and Rambler is great to me
Guess, im the only one who is unimpressed with the stage. The lighting looks great at times though.
