Would love to hear them do One Hit, always loved that track
One Hit was a big mess when they tried to play it in 1989, now 27 years later everyone but Ronnie is very far away from their peak in terms of musical ability.
It will probably sound like an even bigger sloppy mess if they play it this year.
Same with many other lesser known songs in their catalogue.
Same with many other more well known songs in their catalogue.
Sympathy for the Devil , Honkey Tonk Women , Miss You , Tumbling Dice , even IORR many times since 2013.
Sadly, you are right. There are some examples of trainwreck warhorses the last few years. For instance Honky Tonk Women in Milwaukee 2015 became a disaster when Keith played the intro out of time with Chuck's cowbell. These kind of incidents will probably become more usual for every new tour.
The only way for them to prevent trainwrecks is to properly rehearse for a long time before hitting the stage. Which is what I hope they're doing right now.

Yeah, I love the Stones but it blows my mind that they can screw up songs they've done thousands of times since the late sixties - early seventies. But that's part of the magic of the Stones. They're really technically not brilliant players, but put them together on a good night, and when the chemistry works, it's magic.
To me easy solution , give the cowbell to the drummer where it belongs periodQuote

Hey where's the guy who was disagreeing with me when I said Keith was prone to derailing the band onstage when he was in command of the music (intros solos)?
It's not funny, but there was a video of Keith not being able to start Honkey Tonk Women properly...this was after his head accident.Quote

I think my favorite derailment is... it's a tie between that 1982 She's So Cold and the Giants Stadium VOODOO show of Street Fighting Man where Keith just, what, falls out of orbit.
Although I don't think anything will top the key slippage of SFTD in Miami from 1994.

Darryl was standing next to him trying to get him to remember to start the song, gesturing towards his guitar. It was sad to watch but I don't know if it's still on YouTube.
Well this one was quite different...Keith had just rushed back from his injury and was clearly out of it. He looked very feeble, and Darryl was trying to coach him, almost showing him what notes to play.Quote

I've seen the Stones but six times and witnessed two trainwreck intros, one being the start of Let It Bleed in Philly 1981 - but not sure if it was Keith or Woody playing in the wrong key, and Giants Stadium 2005 where Keith ripped into Brown Sugar and the second chord was just glaringly wrong, think he just hit the wrong fret...

Eventually Keith took some tentative strums on the guitar and the song started. Like I said, it wasn't one of those amusing Keith f-ups, but very sad.

Yeah, I've heard reports from around that time that made me fear that Keith was finished once and for all, things like Chuck having to play the opening riff to Satisfaction for him and I saw a video of them doing She's So Cold where Keith was visibly lost and was Ron Wood was standing right in front of him, and you could tell that Woody was having to show Keith what the chords were. So glad he recovered but he sure ain't what he used to be.
No one is what he/she used to be.

Anyone wanna go in on renting the adjacent studio? We need at least 10 people to go in, it's $500 per day. For that, you can listen in and do all the set list whining you want.
