Only if they make it their own and don't try to copy the studio single. Like for example a hot piano/guitar/guitar jam a la Sway with a reinvented/reinterpreted song like they used to do in the old days. Look at how they reworked Stray Cat Blues on GYYYO. Hearing the opening notes of that intense piano riff in the dark would be a really pleasant surprise. To play devil's advocate though, somehow that song is too "disconnected." Something about it being from a bygone era of Brian Jones/drug busts and all that, it reflects a small slice in time that is long long gone and disconnected from the essence of the band, IMO.

On another note I watched some of the Totally Stripped shows from 1995 recently. Assuming that they did not go crazy with overdubs, at that point Keith could still really play. I was even a bit shocked at how well he was playing. Alas, that was a long time ago.

How do we meet up before and after some of these shows? Should Bjornulf create another thread just for meeting? It would be a scream to meet folks face-to-face instead of online.

I'm pretty sure these infos will be posted on the threads that are linked on the first page of this one, like it was on the previous tours.

Same here! I never met another IORRian before... =o))
Hamburg, Lucca, Arnhem, Paris 2nd & 3d.

Its funny , i have met many IORRian's in the last two years and they always say i seem much nicer than i appear from my posts. Anyone else get this, the written word comes over all wrong at times.. People take things too personal on this forum imho. If i don't like Mick , it doesn't mean i don't like you sort of thing.

So if i vote conservative and you vote Labour we have to dislike each other.
I for instance fully understand why some don't like some aspects of Keith even though they love the Stones in general.
Its un-evolved as a human being to dislike someone because of their views.
For instance i think Doxa is a gem, a genius in fact but i disagree with most of his views. I don't know mate, generate division if you must but its not my bag. We are all one as it happens, with slightly different personalized variations, but of the same thing.

It looks like you fall victim to this as well.
Lighthearted jab, mate.

Not sure about "conservative vs Labour" argument (true blue Democrat here)
But if were both posting on a Democratic Party "fan-site" and you hated Obama, then yeah, it's going to affect my opinion of you.

I knew you were making a lighthearted jab, it wasn't an issue, i don't do lighthearted so much, you just end up talking about the Stones in a positive way all the time and it gets to sound like a relentless creepy PR stunt. I prefer to keep it real and hopefully this goes beyond nerds being nerds. I mean you are all virtual people here but i have made a few friends that i email and have friendly intelligent discussions with. It doesn't have to be this, "you're with me or against me" dialog all the time, there's room for people to converse on another level outside of our favorite band. Or maybe not.

Actually, it's one of those songs where sticking to the studio version might be a good idea, imo.

Its the relentless being positive that's creepy. Its not being honest is it.
This band as much as i love them have aspects about them that are negative.
I'm not getting at you MisterDDDD you're cool and balanced as far as your posts go.
Its fine to bang on about how great the live shows are etc, but in truth a lot of us have become bored with the whole deal.
We want more of the Sticky Fingers Fonda gig type of show.
Lets have the whole of Exile over two night's , now that would be amazing. Its doable. More varied set lists, who wants to hear Miss You again and again, replace it with Rocks Off, If You Can't Rock Me or Memory Motel.
The Stones have people that actually listen in and give feedback to the Stones from fan sites like this one, especially this one, so we need to talk about how we would love to see the Stones play such and such a song.

The discussion about We Love You as opening song is pretty absurd, but the audience might be pleased.

Assuming a crowd of 50,000, here's my guess as to audience reaction to "We Love You" as a show opener:

1,000--ok, cool, but they shoulda opened with "gomper"
5,000--@#$%& awesome!
9,000--is this that thing he sang w Taylor swift?
35,000--what the @#$%& is this? I paid $1500 to hear @#$%& "brown sugar" @#$%&!

Didn't have Not Fade Away have the same problem. But I think it worked.

It's the sort of pandering song they might do if Paul McCartney were in the band. But I hear they are, indeed, doing a reworking for the tour, which will be interesting. It will renamed "We Love You(r) Money, Not You."

Do you mean also reworking the whole set list?

Before I forget and to mention now, for everyone that is going to the shows, please do a real quick "before the show" crowd scan like this one:
[www.youtube.com]

That was cool watching the "before the show" video, but much better is if anyone going can Periscope the show. Last tour I got to see many songs from almost every different venue, it was @#$%& cool. We should plan something like this if at all possible. Biggest trouble, phones running out of battery. So we need 3-4 people for every show to catch it all. Not impossible!

AB-SO-LUTELY! I'm in support of this idea since long and I enjoyed the scope-feeds during the last tours tremendously. I promised myself not to miss 1 single show of this band as long as they are still delivering!

As for the battery: zero problem here - there are lots of cheap and very effective powerpacks to keep you going for hours!

Biggest problems left are the data-rate-supply of the given venue, which often is slow due to lots of people using it and the flatrate-contigent you have or the capacity of your connection.

Nevertheless - there are always folks who stream. Maybe it would be nice if we could have one or two from us at the show to cover the Keith-part of the show, because often times, it's here where the suppy of streams gets really thin.

People with new cell phones can record the show in 4K!

That would be so great. Out of their classic early period singles it's one of the only songs they have never played live. The others are Come On and Have You Seen Your Mother Baby, Standing In The Shadows.

Very nice!
Just had a look at HTW. What's funny to me: as the camera zooms off into the totale, the sound becomes very much better, more bass etc. As soon as he zooms again nearer towards the stage, the sounds flattens considerably.

Can't see the reason - the micro still is at the same spot, right? Or is this some kind of 'microphone-zoom' just like an optical zoom???
