If the song vote was up to me it should be album themed, just that, 3-4 songs to choose from. No stuff that has been released as singles. Different albums every gig, then start again when they were through the albums, but then with 3-4 other songs.

Chicago 1:

2000 Man
Dear Doctor
Miss Amanda Jones
Have You Seen Your Mother?

Chicago 2:

Live By the Sword
Depending on You
Dreamy Skies
Driving Me Too Hard

When you see the long list from which the 4 songs get selected,
most of the songs board members are choosing here are not included.
Obviously The Stones put out a list that they realistically feel comfortable
with. Does that mean that so many songs just don’t work out live?
Are to obscure for the rest of the not so hardcore fans attending concerts?

If this thread was a poll, it would be great to include some of the songs
most repeated and let fans chose from the long list the 4 that make the cut.
Then chose again for the song vote winner.

But it will never happen.

Heart of Stone


Let it Loose


We're Wasting Time


Mother Little Helper

Salt of the Eart

Con le mie Lacrime

Tell Me

Summer of '72 I was 17 and my mind was blown seeing it performed live in Norfolk.

Summer of '73 I was an 18 yo U.S. Navy midshipman (we were a Navy family) on a training cruise, on liberty in Barcelona. In a disco a Spanish girl and her friends' alcohol capacity and superhuman nightlife endurance had worn me and a couple of buddies out by 4 or 4:30 AM. (I had to be back on the ship to stand watch at 7.)

But Brown Sugar came on!

I was back on my feet and on the floor with Mercedes again in an instant.

lol love it, but now the idea of staying out all night then having to stand watch (or whatever someone’s version of going to work early in the morning is) makes me shudder

This is very smart.
If one is chosen, we would get rid of the three others leaving space for alternate songs.


....but they would come up with YOU GOT ME ROCKING

I'm shocked they haven't done more cuts from Hackney Diamonds. Keith should be doing Tell Me Straight. Why are they doing Mess It Up? They always do the weak track. Sad, Sad, Sad, or Flip the Switch. There's some lovely songs like Driving Me Too Hard.

Keith has been playing Tell Me Straight.

Every show since show 7 (second NJ show).

I've been to 12 shows from 1975 to this year, and I kept track of songs they have played. Two things surprised me:

I've heard 91 different songs.

The only songs I've heard at every show are JJF, Sympathy, and Tumbling Dice.

When did they skip HTW?

Didnt go to 78 or 81/82 ?

>> When did they skip HTW?

For me they did not play HTW for the jan 73 earthquake show. Otherwise I've heard JJF and TD every time.
