One Hit To The Body would be the greatest opener ever.

It would be interesting to have a new opener. Street Fighting Man is a realistic alternative to SMU and JJ Flash

SFM was the opener on quite a few arena shows in 2002. Great choice, imo. One of those songs that can't go wrong for the Stones.

I go for I'm Free to do what I want any old time...

They did try that 3 times in 2006, Boston, Halifax & Regina (2nd show)..........I guess Mick didn't rate it after a few goes............[www.iorr.org]

Exactly!

Open with Sympathy for the Devil.

You Got me Rocking.

They should start with Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé!

I've said it for decades: We Love You should be the opener. They owe us that much

YEAHHHHH!

Brother in mind - saying this since ages.
The hammering piano-opening, the waves of sound, Mick, with the chorus of Keith, Ronny plus the rest of everyone on stage

The only good thing about opening with SMU is that they get it out of the way (because you know they are going to play it regardless)

Go Back to '81 opener, "Under My Thumb"

I am afraid the "hammering piano-opening" would turn into a plink-plink-plink-piano-opening and the chorus of Keith, Ronnie and the rest would be a howling mess.

Have they ever done this song live? I cant remember but I dont think so.

They will do Start Me Up as opener anyway to set SA-crowds on fire right from the beginning.

Were I to decide I would go for Bitch or Rocks Off!

... The week it is featured as the "talk track" on iorr?

By my calculations it will be during the Ole! Tour.
It is kind of like a once in a millennium eclipse event
It would be a great shout out from the band to the folks at iorr (Rene in particular) and I think the song would go over well in Latin America.

Only concern: the keyboard part is important, not clear the band's current keyboardist is up to it.

Yes, as the opener.

No Nicky Hopkins, no We Love You :-)

Chuck did a nice She's A Rainbow (and is about to do it again on this tour), so I think that will work just fine

Why not? But not as an opener.
Though of course this will not happen.
But man maybe we'll get "Pressure Drop"!

It was funny that Nicky played it again in Rod Stewart's take on Street Fighting Man, on his debut album. I suspect he came up with that piano part

We Love You/Dandelion..Stones answer to Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever....Christ, almost 50 years ago this year...

Yeah, it would be nice if the boys play We Love You live...

The shutting the door-sound should be included

Has it ever happened that the setlist has been leaked out before the concert?

I don't know, but several times they rehearsed the song vote winner song in the stadum soundcheck before the concert.

Do you see SFM as a mainstream-enough track to use as an opener ?

I like the idea, but I don't know if they'll dare doing it in stadiums and in rarely/never before visited countries.
OK, they used Not Fade Away in 1994/95 but the scenography was adapted

Yes I know. But I mean the whole setlist

It's going to be the same basic show as last summer. Open with SMU or JJF. End with YCAGWYW and Satisfaction. 15-16 other warhorses and a quasi-ringer or two in between.

I know these things. I just do.
