Please people! What do you expect? Just look at that bullshit setlists from Oro-Medonte or New Orleans. Even the no-warhorses are more than well known. Down to 19 songs. Nobody really needs the only rarity, Sad Sad Sad, although it seems to work live. No Harlem Shuffle, not even in New Orleans. We're back in reality I guess. Creating great fantastic setlists for them doesn't make much sense. It won't happen anyway. They are a Greatest Hits act now which has nothing to do with the 21st century. The will never play old insider favourites like Coming Down Again, let alone Had It With You. Anyway, IMHO 2018 was more interesting than 2017 and the first shows of 2019 more interesting than 2018. Better than nothing. But I don't expect many surprises for the remaining 11 shows (maybe in New Jersey?). The main reason they still tour is making as much money as possible. They have to attract as much "average" "fans" as possible which means: 85-90 % warhorses and well known standards/ pseudo-rarities. - As Billy Preston said: "That's life. You gotta deal with it."
But sometimes you get what you need..
Fool to cry
Sad sad sad
Dancing with Mr D
Mixed emotions 2016
Maybe few more?

This is an ultimate set list for any recent concert .
As a matter of fact they played the second disc entirely quite a few times (even during last tours). Although they made only 8 out of 9 this year.

Yes indeed. Although I don't think that Mixed Emotions is a great live song. People go buying beer or pissing during songs like this. Also Fool To Cry doesn't really work in a stadium. Real surprises still happen from time to time, especially in the first half of a tour or in 5-10 million inhabitants conglomaration areas where they played dozens of shows already over the years. To be honest I didn't expect them to actually perform Mercy Mercy although I knew they heavily rehearsed it. I think it had to do with Brian/Hyde Park 1969. This is comparable to performing Kansas City in Kansas City.

Fool To Cry REALLY worked in a stadium!
And people are not rushing to the rest rooms early in the set just because they start ME

The room for changes in the setlist is, as pointed out on page 1, 2-3 songs. And, to be fair, it doesn't really matter that much which songs they put there.
The rest of the setlist, 16-17 songs, is still the same and will be throughout the tour. Everything else would be a surprise.

Having seen the Stones 10 times or so since 1989, but not since the Gaylord in Nashville in 2002, it is my hope that we will get a "nugget to keep" in tonight's setlist. Based on the lists thus far, we'll get at least one, of not both, of Dead Flowers and Angie, but, given that we are close to Chuck's hometown of Macon (and he also has a house in Savannah), we could get a one-off (relatively speaking) like You Gotta Move in Atlanta in 2015 or even Can't Turn You Loose (Mick introduced it specially) from Atlanta in 2002.
I am good with whatever out of the 4 songs for the "vote", but I am hopeful that we get Let It Bleed or even Mercy Mercy again!

...it's not very likely that we will get something like a Chicago II setlist (which was actually worlds apart from the boring 2017/late tour 2018 setlists).

Really ? Düsseldorf '17 had exactly the same setlist as Chicago II '19 beside four songs :
GOOMC, SFM, Happy and Just Your Fool at Düsseldorf - Monkey Man, Play with Fire, Dead Flowers and BTMMR
at Chicago....boring ? Worlds apart...?
I don't think so...

Based on last night, i’m guessing no Sweet Virginia for Philadelphia on Tuesday. Interesting to note, the city hasn’t heard the song in 47 years. I sincerely hope, but doubt, they look at previous setlists in the city. I’m willing to wager we hear Angie Nd Dead Flowers even though the latter was played there in 2013 and made it onto Honk. I’ll cross my fingers for the two MetLife shows.

Well so much for trying to keep the setlist completely spoiler free till my show. And that actually would have been a thrill to not know that was coming. Thank you.
And before you say "well you shouldn't be on a Stones forum if you don't want it spoiler"... its been like a month and not a single thread title has had a song spoiler in it. I just assumed we were being courteous.
