Discussing setlists is a bit like talking about the weather - something you do to pass time. Not at all unpleasant even though it seldom leads anywhere...

...Who says The Stones is just about energy?...
...Why on earth shouldn`t the band spend more time rehearsing?

I always wonder how in the world they can make it fresh for themselves, playing the same songs decade in and decade out. I would get sick of it, I think

Wasn't there a live act at the Fonda some weeks ago?
Didn't they try a very different set list there?
Somewhat like this:
Start Me Up
2. When The Whip Comes Down
3. All Down The Line
--- Sticky Fingers session:
4. Sway
5. Dead Flowers
6. Wild Horses
7. Sister Morphine
8. You Gotta Move
9. Bitch
10. Can't You Hear Me Knocking
11. I Got The Blues
12. Moonlight Mile
13. Brown Sugar
--- Encore:
14. Rock Me Baby
15. Jumping Jack Flash
16. Can't Turn You Loose
And they released Sticky Fingers Live on iTunes, so I was told.
But: Who cares? It Looks like even the hardcore stonesfans here on IORR have forgotten this experiment in a very few hours ...
May be I'm wrong ...

What intrigues me with regards to setlists is when a song is dropped mid-tour and is never heard again.
'Doom and Gloom' has been performed consistently (at every show? - I don't have the capacity to check) since 2012 but was dropped midway through the Zip Code Tour. I believe 'Can't Be Seen' was similarly unceremoniously discarded in 2014.
These changes stand out as, and i think this has been mentioned once or twice before, the rest of the setlist remains so unvarying.
Any thoughts on what causes songs to be dropped?

In my experience when a song doesn't go as planned for whatever reason, anyone has problems with it either musically or vocally the tune is dropped for the rest of the tour. Sometimes these issues are obvious and sometimes they are probably only perceived by Mick or one of the others.
I think they know they can always deliver 19 or 20 songs without having to risk one that doesn't meet their expectations.

Whilst that was probably the case with regards to 'Can't Be Seen' last year, the case of 'Doom and Gloom' still intrigues me: dropped, presumably never to be heard of again, after 64 consecutive performances on tour.
Were any of the musicians notably struggling with performing this song? Were they advised to drop it?
After having become so familiar in recent years, it was conspicuous by absence.
I wouldn't have batted an eyelid had it been dropped after the 50 & Counting or 14 On Fire Tours.

It wasn't really an experiment. They only did it once for a small, mostly hand-picked audience for the purpose of having a new recording to sell. I would have been ecstatic if they had played this on the tour. I was disappointed to only get .....crumbs from Sticky Fingers at Petco Park.
