let's hope there's more to come from that source.

I see so many posts, in various other show threads, suggesting that the vote is rigged or predetermined. It is typically met with a wink and a nod or a rolling of the eyes. Sometimes sarcasm and maybe a complaint or two. Tonight the vote song was dropped and now there's outrage about the voters not being given their due. I don't remember seeing this outrage before. Maybe outrage is the wrong word. As I see it, at the last moment, they decided to omit a feature of their show and insert a song they rarely play in tribute to a friend who had just passed away. And people complain.
Plus, weren't they on a time limit? What was their allotment and what did they play?

In responding to the poster above who said the crowd seemed "cool", to put it nicely, I was struck by the same impression just from seeing the crowd photos in this thread. I haven't seen any live clips yet, but on one of the previous pages when there are photos from the crowd looking toward the stage and you see the backs of audience members' heads you get the impression that they are just standing there, as though a cast of extras from a zombie movie, whereas in other recent concert threads when playing to a specifically Stones audience the crowd have their arms in the air and are pumping their fists.
I suspect this is the reason they start their set at these festival shows with Jack Flash, their loudest, most high powered number: to hook the crowd in right from the start, because in playing these festivals there's always the chance of not coming across with the same effect, because they will not be playing to an exclusively Stones audience.

Otherwise,I wonder if they could not have spared an extra four and a half minutes for the fan vote song. Call it 7 minutes with the break between songs - to be generous. Or at least put "It's All Over Now" in the slot occupied by "Miss You" or something .

Another one...
Hey, 'Simple Minds' still got it!
The crowd enjoyed them and I was back in the 80's for an hour.
Well done Jim!
I remember they opened somewhere in Europe in 2006/7. Germany me think.

Sorry, I try not to comment on these particular threads about particular concerts, because those people really seem excited about the particular concert they attended. But sometimes when I see these set in concrete setlists it does anger me. They don't listen to us. They don't care about us and what we want. And as long as they can get enough rubes to pay big bucks, they'll care even less. Hey, I know I'm whizzing up a rope, but there's so little time left with the band, and I hate to see it wasted this way. I guess I put the Stones on a higher pedestal than the other bands, and it's kind of sad to see them go out like this. I guess they already went out with A Bigger Bang.

Normally at this time we do a request song for people who vote online, but tonight we’re gonna change that…
Unfortunately our friend Bobby Womack we found out passed away today… so we’re going to play a song of his we used to play
IT’S ALL OVER NOW
And they can't play both the tribute and the voting song? Dull to make thousands vote and then let them down like that.

You. Never. Have. Been, To. One. Single. Show. Of. This. Tour. You´re. Home. And.
Judging. By. Setlist. That´s. Sad. At least for you.

As for the setlists ~ the way The Stones are rolling these days its their choice to play whatever songs they feel comfortable with. MICK doesn't like to take risks on lesser played songs, he knows they can pull these tried and true songs off well and the crowds go wild all over the world. Everyone knows these are the some of the best songs ever written! At this stage they are not trying to reinvent the wheel.
24FPS, we (fans) represent 1% of those who paid for a ticket...all the rest doesn't careQuote

We are what matters, not them. They have asked a lot from us in payment for their presence. The joke's on us that they have decided to give us so little.
