I see your point Justin and you make a good one but from what I read Mick is notoriously worried about playing it safe. Unless I am remembering wrong Keef and Ronnie would love to stretch out the setlist but Mick does not want to take the chance.
I like many here would love to see more of the obscure songs played but doubt Mick would take the chance especially for a Stadium show which always seems to have the most vanilla set lists due to the size of the crowds.

They can still play the war horses and still mix it up with 23 or 24 songs.
Open up with a rocker...Let It Rock or Street Fightin Man.
Ruby Tuesday is good at Stadiums.
Drop Miss You for ever.
Start Me Up
Honky Tonk Women
Tumblin Dice
Brown Sugar
Satisfaction
Jumpin Jack Flash
You Cant Always Get What You Want
Paint It Black
Gimmie Shelter
Its Only Rock and Roll
Thats only 10 songs plus Keiths 2. If they did 24 Songs that leaves 12 to play around with
The problem is not the war horses / hits. The problem is lack of Songs

The band hasn't done 24 songs in about a decade. They are down to 18/19 songs these days. The ten tracks off Sticky Fingers plus any 8 from your list of warhorses would satisfy even the most clueless casual fan.

They did 22 last time I saw them in 2013 and had done 23 several times before that same tour . And now they are taking more time between shows.
With Keith doing 3 it would be possible.

It's not the 'warhorses', it's the way the music is played. In the Taylor era we got so many versions of for instance Brown Sugar. Compare the 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973 Sugars with each other and you'll understand what I mean. The same goes for Midnight Rambler. Street Fighting Man, JJF and others. Remember the way MR was played in Shanghai, that was something totally new and great, MR being a warhorse though.
"So many versions" of Brown Sugar? The song is played exactly the same way in each of those years. Taylor adding a slide in 73 to do his fills doesn't exactly constitute for a major shift in the song.
It's natural for a new song to grow and shift when played over time--Taylor's presence was not the driving force. Songs like "Beast of Burden" and "When The Whip Comes Down" already went through a metamorphosis from 78 to 81 and beyond. These shifts happen organically because of what the entire band feels not because of one person dictating how the song should go.
And what exactly was "totally new and great" about MR from Shanghai? You're talking about the wild bends and feedback effects Taylor was doing in the middle section? Besides that the rest of the song was performed exactly the way it's always been played and isn't that different from the awesome versions with Ronnie from 2006, 2002, 1999, 1994 or 1989.

Well if you don't hear it and can't follow my argument.... put on Brussels Affair the bootleg and then complain about the warhorses you have to listen to. I wish you strength.

I see tickets up front in NY on Keith's side for $3800. Is Stub Hub just anticipating having these tickets available or do they already have them. I'm confused.

BV, can you tell us anything about a potential date on the 27th? There were 3 cities under consideration - are they now all off the table or are there still negotiations ongoing? I realise nothing can be confirmed, but it would be helpful to know if there at least MIGHT still be a show on that date - because spending $1000 on flights is hard to justify for one show...

I doubt anyone has tickets yet. StubHub usually has them listed within seconds after the beginning of an on-sale and I'm not surprised they're advertising them more than a week in advance. I think it's based on speculation. Someone, with connections perhaps, must be confident that they can get these tickets and then gouge us on the secondary market. If StubHub can't deliver then they'll either refund your money or offer something comparable. At least that's how I think it works. Unfortunately, as the ticket purchasing process has evolved with technology, the business of "ticket brokers" has grown ever more sophisticated and opened more avenues of greed as well. It sucks being a plebeian who loves music.
That said, I'm looking forward to kicking off the tour in San Diego!

Question? If you purchased a house for $200,000 and a year later sold it for $300,000 because thats what the market price rate had risen too. Is that scalping or a pretty wise investment?

you can stop scalping if the industry really wanted. the good ole wait on line, one ticket per person and that person is the only one that can use that ticket. otherwise pay at the gate as you enter. and government regulation making ticket sales transparent. they can use the pick your seat system or even the old airline way of stickers on a map.
But Greed is winning as long as the sheep go along with their plan...

yeah, miss those good old days lining up for tickets for hours in the cold and rain, through the night.
so much better than buying on your computer and printing your receipt.
