There are so many threads and discussions on this topic you should probably do some searching and browsing on this site if you want more information. I assure the topic has been well discussed.
But to simplify years of discussion for you since you're new here:
It seems that most folks are just tired of hearing concerts with 2/3 of the same songs for the last couple of decades or more. They have a huge catalog to draw from and most complaints are that they don't draw from it more and stick to pretty much the same "warhorses". They might be the very songs you want to hear but lots of people on here have been to dozens of shows and/or have expectations of a more adventurous and creative approach to the setlists.
I'm curious what your 11 year old perspective is on the Stones vs. other "new" acts is. Do you like or listen to pop, rap or hip hop? Since the Stones are probably at least as old as your graqndparents, do you consider them an "oldies" band? What drew you to them in the first place?
Anyway welcome to the site and I look forward to your relatively innocent and fresh perspective.
peace

Thanks very much to making me more clear of how other people think of that. I kinda got introduced to the Rolling Stones from my dad... Ever since the concert got out we have been listening to Rolling Stones ALOT! I don't consider them "oldies" actually, well mostly since Mick still has his moves and his voice. They don't seem really old to me I guess. I listen to pop but lately I have been drawn to rock stations including The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Eagles, etc. It's odd now thinking about my perspective, I guess I'm transferring from new to older music. I still listen to the newer music at my house sometimes but now it's mostly Rolling Stones!!!!!

Thanks! Yeah, I mean the Stones are the Stones. Doesn't matter what they play

They could easily do songs like Lady Jane, Silver train, or Play with fire (which was very moving in 1989, according to the recordings). Even Heart of Stone would work in a stadium, I'm sure.

love the band as much as I love meatloaf, but not every night for the past 50 years.

My pleasure RS and thank you for replying to my inquiries. You seem wise beyond your years and obviously have a good ear for music.
A lot of us are a bit disappointed in the direction popular music has taken and believe the rock we grew up with is more musical, more creative and the best the world has to offer (so far). I guess every generation might feel that way about the music they grew up with, but some of us would like to believe that there was something extra special about rock music. Your attraction to it helps to affirm that belief, thanks for that!

As long as they are here, I am happy.
That being said, I DO* LOVE*** Beggars Banquet stuff but I really can't complain because their whole catalogue is a classic.
