I do hope they play at least once a Chuck Berry tune to pay tribute. What about Back In The USA with Keith and Ronnie on background vocals

The Stones have performed Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven".

I saw Metallica with my family a few nights ago and made a few relevant observations:
They have a new album out and the tour is named after the album.
They played an 18 song set.
They have a 'Snake' Pit in the front of their stage filled with contest winners, NOT VIP package-holders. It looked like a blast to be in there.
The entire floor was GA.
They played 5 songs off their new album. Including the first and second songs of the night. All 5 songs came during the first half of the show and were extremely well-received.
James Hetfield polled the crowd and approx 50% of a sold-out Comerica Park was seeing Metallica live for the first time. I saw a ton of young kids.
Metallica is an excellent stadium band and their show was absolutely phenomenal.
They proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that a rock band can, and should, play new songs onstage in 2017.
I hope The Rolling Stones are paying attention to this Metallica tour.
Three or four Blue & Lonesome songs, plus another new one, would be SWEET to see and hear this fall.

There is one not so slight difference between the Stones and Metallica playing new songs and taking chances. The vast majority of the crowd at a Metallica show are Metallica fans (I was one of them). The vast majority of the crowd at a Stones show these days are people that want to say they were there as a discussion topic with their friends/at work, and/or to say they saw the Stones and/or to buy a t-shirt to wear as a fashion statement. A huge number of those attending current Stones shows (at least in the USA) are at best casual fans that know most of the hits and nothing other than the big hits. If they were to play lesser known tracks or new stuff they would lose the crowd immediately, especially in a large venue and Mick is far too smart to do that. Quite simply, the Stones know who is buying their tickets and that's who they are playing for. It's not for those on the this board that want them to "shake it up." And truthfully, it's hard to blame them for that, especially with sky high prices for tickets.[/quote
Well, if here are so many casual fans, why should the band care what they hear as they've already got their money? And whose fault is it that the ticket prices are sky high?
Also, what about true fans and the band themselves? I've been a fan for a very long time but I will not pay rip-off price so hear virtually the same set on every tour.
I've searched the web in vain to find Mick J saying that a show without new songs would be a bore but he did say it.Maybe I've got it on VHS somewhere.
