regarding the "19 songs" axiom. I think that "they" decided already month ago that 19 songs is the most they can confidently do with success night after night. In cases they feel conformable and in shape (most shows in the passing month) they extend some songs either with longer jams (MR) or just by adding a minute or so of extended "end of song" (JJF, GS, Satisfaction, TD). The pattern is obvious. I think that we should not expect that (relatively) occasional jumping into cold water we say, here and there, a year ago in North America with the MT playing in additional songs etc. etc.
Why do you think that is? I would think confidence would grow with each passing show, not recede. Part of me has thought for years they simply adapt the show to what they know they can get away with to satisfy each audience.

Look at the Wyman fiasco in Nov. 26/29 (the backstage issue) - does it sounds as if they make an effort towards "being special"?

... Huh? Which fiasco do you mean?

....But the crowd was indeed a bit lame, like everybody is getting a bit tired of it. Don't hope so...Maybe it's because a festival like yesterday opens up at 12.00, and the Stones come 10 hours later. Normally a stadium opens at about 5 or 6, and the Stones are there 4 or 5 hours later, quite a difference !
