If you want some more stats that p[aint a more complete picture .......
* "All Down the Line" :
This song has been played on almost every tour since it was released in 1972 except for 1982 + 1989 / 1990. It was performed only a couple of times in 1976. (I voted for "All Down the Line" myself given the limited options and the fact that I don't think that it has ever been played in Belgium since the famous 1973 concerts.)
* "Get Off of My Cloud" :
This one has been played quite regularly (for a non-warhorse) since 1999. The only period that they were not performing it since 1999 was on the 2002 / 2003 Licks Tour. It has not been played in Belgium since '76 as far as I know so,perhaps an option.
* "Bitch" :
This is another song that has been performed with great frequency since it returned in 1989 for the Steel Wheels Tour. The only tour since then that it was not performed was on the Voodoo Lounge Tour of '94 / '95 . It might be a good option for Belgium,though. Somehow,I don't think that it has ever been performed there.
* "Street Fighting Man" :
This used to be a warhorse until recent years. It was played in Belgium on the Voodoo Lounge Tour (both nights) and it was also played there in September of 2003 as well as four shows in the '70's.
* "Let's Spend the Night Together" :
They played this as a regular number on the '81 / '82 tour + on the Bridges to Babylon tour + on the 2006 / 2007 tour since it returned to their live set in '77. They already played it in Belgium in 1998 .... both nights.
* "Dead Flowers" :
Once again,this has been in regular rotation since it returned for the Steel Wheels Tour. They already played it in Werchter on the Bridges Tour. Why would they play it there again with all things considered and considering the fact that they have a 'laundry list' of songs of an equal caliber which have NOT been performed in Werchter ???? It's not as rare as it might seem.
Having said that,with a 19 song set (17 being Jagger lead vocals songs) and 13 of those being warhorses,every non-warhorse song is starting to SEEM rare.
This is what it has boiled down to.
