Take a chance you say? The Stones play it more safe everytour than any other band. ITS BEEN THE SAME SHOW FOR 10 YEARS NOW, What are you talking about? Its not about guts either. Its about broadening your horizon instead of being and old cash cow... thats what got the Stones to where they are and now they give us fans very little to be inspired with ( and thats the MAJOR bone of contension on this board ). Here are 2 of the greatest rock and roll song writers and they give you nothing back.. but ask you and I to pay 450 for a show... just to hear the greatest hits. IF the STONES had GUTS then they would dig deep into the catalog waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back and do Mother's little helper, lady jane, 100 years ago.. I mean their GREAT songs are never played.
With a catalog like theres why play it so safe all the time? Don't tell me the Stones have balls.... they don't. They lost the effort along time ago. Entertainers... no doubt the best.... very very very routine... routine is what they have down to a science... and you know it!
