Remember a few days ago when Erik Snow, tongue in cheek, declared rock music was "childish"?
According to a certain member of the Rolling Stones who knows Erik, "Blimey,
the kid was on fire in the audience dancing his ass off."

It still amazes me that people on here argue about set lists...for one thing we should be glad that this tour is even happening - many, including me, had serious doubts after the Keith acident that they would ever play again and I certainly didn;t think it would be a world tour. Also, of course they are going to play their greatest hits/warhorses. The vast majority of the people paying to watch them want to hear these iconic songs. When I was watching them at Glastonbury last year, I could over hear quite a few groups of people and they were going crazy at JJF, Brown Sugar Gimme Shelter. If they played more obscure songs, yes us hard core fans would be pleased (unless they murdered them) but there would be a lot of criticism for the people who had turned out to see them for the first time expecting to catch the big songs on what is likely the last tour of any note.
Cast your minds back over the decades, the Stones have never been particuarly adventurous with set lists and it aint going to change now. Just enjoy what is at the table.

With a setlist down to only 17 (Mick lead vocals) + 2 (Keith lead vocals) songs, it has become extremely difficult for any *real* surprises to surface during a show. You have the warhorses, you have the "semi-warhorses" (Street Fighting Man, All Down The Line, Bitch, Live With Me, Dead Flowers, Wild Horses,Ruby Tuesday, Beast Of Burden, Worried About You, Angie and the like = you name 'em!), and then you have the third category, the "real surprises" - extremely rare or looooong ago performed songs or even live debuts. In this category, only "Emotional Rescue" -out of all obscure songs!- managed its way to a quite regular setlist entry, whereas Lady Jane, Around And Around, Under The Boardwalk, Silver Train remained one-timers so far.

That's a fair point. I first saw them when I was 12 years old in Honolulu in 1973. I think that the show was a little over an hour long. But, I remember every detail - it changed my life; who knows what I might have accomplished if I hadn't spent hours upon hours on the Stones . . . .

It's not clear why they went from 23/24 in 2012 and 2013 in the USA and even 21 at Glasto to 19 now...

Le solo de Keith Richards à 1'41" çà fait du mal à la musique, ça se traine, c'est faux !

Well, judging from the youtube-video, Keith got the wrong key 2 times for some notes, but only shortly. The rest of the solo was ok, IMHO.

What a fantastic eevening it was last night to wrap up a great week for me. First beeing outside four rehearsals. Feeling the excitement build up for the show. It was a great experience to meet more of you iorrians from all over Europe. And beeing outside the rehearsals listening to the songs together with you is something I will never forget...
I have always wanted to be FOS at a Stones show. And yesterday I made it!! And it was great... so close to the band, seeing the interactions between the bandmembers and feel the energy from stage. And what an energy they had!!! Some mistakes as in "can't be seen", but thats just the charm about live performances. But to me, seeing a live rocknroll show is more about feeling the energy than to listen for mistakes and hoping for perfection...
A week where I was at four rehersals, met several iorrians, had a chat with Taylor, fischer, keys and fowler, saw one of the best shows I have ever seen of the Stones and made it to FOS, ended with getting one of the setlist from the stage. That one is to be framed and hung on the wall.
For you who are going to the rest of the shows: you have something to look forward to......
