A few debatable assertions here.
I wonder why 'All Down The Line' 'does not qualify' when it has been played on each of the eight most recently completed tours and on fifteen of the eighteen tours since its release in 1972.
With regards to ballads, 'Wild Horses' and 'Angie' should switch places, if one of them is going to be considered a warhorse:
'Angie' has been played live nearly one hundred times more than 'Wild Horses', the latter not featuring on the setlists for four consecutive tours, covering a period including the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
'Live With Me', 'Rip This Joint', 'Star Star' and 'Slipping Away' are all examples of songs that have been played live by the Stones more frequently than 'Wild Horses'.

So you didn't read all of what I said, specifically "debatable most likely but then again most likely agreed on, and, I suppose, almost or near warhorses? And a conclusion to figure out exactly what makes a warhorse - a song played on most tours, regardless of its release date or tours it wasn't played (Satisfaction, for example)."
They played Wild Horses in 1975, once in 1976 and then 1994 and 1995 and "recently" as well. I figured it was a stretch including it though (it's on practically every hits album so...).
Regardless of Angie being played 100 more times than Wild Horses... that's the point: songs they've played a lot. Not ALL of them have been played 90% of their shows since 1969. Etc.
