It would be abuse of this thread - or any other live concert thread - to post set list complaints. Truely. If you have complaints about the setlist then it would be OFF TOPIC to post complaints here. In fact it would be a campaign which is unacceptable here on IORR. Also, it is SPAM.
If you see someone who use IORR to campaign agaainst the set list on the wrong threads again and again please feel free to use the "Report this post", and I will look into it. I may not have time to delete many posts, but I may see if soneone should be closed out from posting for a while, due to the spam factor.
There is a tread for set list complaints : [www.iorr.org]
I am sure the Rolling Stones DO NOT read that thread. Also, I do know for a fact that they read a lot other here on IORR.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. This is a tour in 15 states, 15 cities, all over USA. 99% of everyone in the crowd have not seen the Stones in years. They want to hear the big songs. Any fan whoi love the Stones would love to hear JJF, BS, GS, SYMP, SMU and so on. Sure we love Lady Jane and Citadel, but they are not mainstream.
The Stones have finalized the ZIP CODE show. It is 19 songs, 2 h 10 minutes, one request, two SF songs, then one extra. Keith doews B4 and Happy. That is this tour. Please do not waste our time with campaigns to get back Mick taylor, another set list, other backup musicians and so on. This is the tour. Please use the current sest list as a base of positive comments. If you are geetting bored of the Stones as they do perform now, then sorry, you are on the wrong place here on IORR, posting on the live threads.

Stonehearted, you shocked me out of not writing! I was indeed talking about you and Dandelion Powderman! Hope you're well.
I didn't get negative feedback personally, but I was surprised at the number of Periscope comments -- like you said, Pete got more mention than Mick or Keith. (and the setlist complaints were a nagging continuation from earlier shows on this tour.) But I'll ignore it.
I've especially enjoyed watching the Stones as they've gotten older -- mistakes, miscues and all. They now remind me of those wise old Chicago bluesmen they enjoyed so much. I think there's a new depth to all they bring to their music. Muddy Waters would just chuckle if they repeated setlists or forgot words -- lord knows he did. ( I'm from Chicago and Have seen a few Muddy Waters performances that were all the better for his "mistakes."
Enough. Thanks for your response (and that of tumbling dice and Nikki as well), I'll not give up on IORR.

Fricking Awesome Show. You will be dead long before these guys can no longer do it. Great sound, great opener, bitch was awesome. Great rambler, miss you, gimme shelter, satisfaction. Smoked from beginning to end. Still got Milwaukee and Detroit. I m adding Indy and Pittsburgh. Can t go to enough shows like this.
And of course, mick as always, beyond the greatest singer ever.
Try going to a show. And quit telling everyone how you are so much better than that idiot MICK JAGGER!

Great quality in All Down The Line but unfortunately the Jagger spit on the stage habit is caught in all it's glory at 4:13 or so. Definitely took me out of the moment. It's like he's making a statement to the others. "I spit on that solo! PTUUUUEEE!!"

I wonder what role lighting might play in this ongoing thing....from Mick or any of the RS's vantage point, are the first few rows hard to see? are they too dark? or are all the glaring lights that are shining onto the stage such that it makes looking at the first several rows difficult?

When overhead spotlights are trained on you it is actually much easier to focus down and see things in the first couple of rows. The Stones have both overhead and spots in front of the stage pointing up, obviously looking into either could be problematic.
I'm guessing one of the reason Mick doesn't often visually engage with the people in the first few rows is that it might take him out of his performance game, if even for a very short time. There are subconscious elements involved when making direct eye contact with individuals and super performer Mick probably doesn't want any little thing risking his act. Plenty to think about without being distracted, however briefly, by the longing gaze of the beauty in the 3rd row center, Ronnie's side, 7th from the runway.

You'll learn, as men have over the years, don't spend as much if they don't put out.

Carolyn I think the main thing is whether Mick is comfortable singing to the folks immediately in the front row. Often times it is easier to engage with those who are further out. Remember that they are playing to the back of the house!

Keith and Ronnie usually make a lot of eye contact with folks up close, but Mick rarely does unless it's a small theater show. I believe it is because he is performing for the entire stadium and it wouldn't be cool for people in the back of the stadium to see him on the big screens appearing to cater to the front row crowd.

On occasion, Mick does make eye contact with people in the audience, as do Ronnie and Keith, of course.
Check out my book for instances of audience contact, in the chapter on fan interaction, up close and peronal.
I know, I've been surprised.
True, in general he's trying to reach everbody.

SOLD. I'm just beginning my own personal reading of the RS I have lots & lots of ground to cover-yours looks like a good place to start.
