It was stripped down and hauntingly beautiful - as opposed to the non-dynamic synth/strings-heavy 1989-version, imo.

For me only " Dancing With Mr is special the rest is standerd or as expected .........the set is list would be great if "We Love You" is played ;o)
"Play With Fire" had not been performed live in concert since 27 and a half years ago and not in Europe in roughly 50 years.
I would prefer a little bit more energy in the performance of "Play With Fire" like in 1989 and Japan 1990 but,they are now 27 and a half years older than they were then. It's better to have it in there than to have yet another performance of something such as "Dead Flowers" again.
"Sympathy" almost had to be moved towards the beginning of the set. Not a game changer but,like I said,it had to be moved or dropped.
Also nice to have a couple of 'Blue and Lonesome' tracks in there instead of just 20 songs. It might be a good idea to consider some of the other tracks from that album.
"Dancing With Mr. D" was a complete surprise. Personally,I would have preferred "Dance Little Sister" but,I will take any surprise at this point and be grateful that it is a real surprise instead of the business as usual (not actual surprise song) , "Respectable" for an example. I hope that they keep adding them in.
You call Dead Flowers a song you don't wanna hear "again". I have been to 29 concerts and never have heard it live. 4 "new" songs for me yesterday. That's pretty good.

The fact they shuffle the set list a bit does not cancel the fact that there were
- 8 out of 9 songs from Hot Rocks, disc 2. Although they play SFM relatively rarely, the complete Hot Rocks, disc 2, was played entirely a couple of times during 2014-2016. See e.q. Buenos Aires show-1 La Plata 07-Feb-2016. Actually, HR, disc 2, is a core for their shows for ages, 7 songs per show is a routine. This time they just shuffle them a bit.
- 4 songs from Hot Rocks, disc 1. UMT and PWF surely are relatively rare.
- IORR, TD, MY, SMU are warhorses and appear almost every night.
- OOC was played routinely during 2014-2016. Personally, I call it modern day warhorse, it is not unique these days.
- Happy and Slipping Away. I want somebody call them a surprise and rare.
- 2 songs from B&L.
- Mr.D - a surprise song.
So, basically we got 1 obscurity (Mr. D), 2 new songs, 2 (or 3) rarely played (but still well known from Hot Rocks - UMT, PWF, SFM).
Why so much excitement? The fact they shuffle warhorses? I would say - this is a typical set list.

I guess that you have a point. I watched a lower quality video last night and today there is a better quality video up. I wouldn't call the 1989 version non-dynamic,though.
Anyway,I see a trend here since Matt Clifford has returned to the scene. He seems to be nostalgic about the songs performed in 1989 and 1990. First "2000 Light Years" , then "Can't Be Seen" , then "Mixed Emotions" , and now "Play With Fire" .
What will be next?? "Almost Hear You Sigh" , "Red Rooster" , "Blinded By Love" , "Sad Sad Sad" ??

They seem enamored with Out of Control among more recent songs. Why not try I Go Wild or Saint of Me for example?
I wish they would give Miss You a rest.

It was only the first show. Keith takes time to warm up. Literally. Usually he takes off his jacket. He was cold last night. He is not an extrovert like Jagger. That's why he always had to have a strong drink before a show. But since he cut down on the liquor he has to deal soberly with a sudden crowd of 80,000 people. Not easy for a shy guy. Give him time.

Maybe a bit late, but here is my "five cents":
what a fantastic way to start a tour! The setlist, great gosh, what a setlist! The interaction between Jagger and the audience was interesting to look at, those northmen seem a bit "colder", compared to southern audiences.
I never was Jaggers biggest fan, but now i have to think about that. Man, did he sing and perform great last night!
Richards played his solo. In different songs. In different keys. Often in the same key the song was in. Looking sharp, wise, great. A bit old, but he is. Still wouldn´t wanna mess with him. It´s good that he is anywhere, right? Mr Holz (thanks for that one, Sir Mick) is a living piece of guitar rocking comedy and almost slapstick. Worth his weight in gold! Mr Watts looked better than ever and played like a young god. Fowler rocks and grooves, Karl Denson is where he belongs now! Great tone, cool person, all thumbs up. Sascha Allen is good, although I still "think" about Lisa Fisher in the 90ies concerts.
I love the slower speed a couple of songs were played in. Fine tuned and groovin´to the max. Good stuff.
I could live without a few of the so-called warhorses but I can live with them as well very well. And the "masses" might need them.
The way back to Munich today had it´s tricks - my flight with Lufthansa was cancelled - and all the following ones were overbooked. But now - home sweet home, getting ready for Olympiastadion on Tuesday.
For a couple of hours I almost had started whining about the stress to get to that concert - and spending the time waiting for it. With the first beats of SFTD (my heart literally skipped a beat) everything was alright again. Enjoy while you can - concerts like the one in Hamburg are worth every effort.
Thank you and good night

Anyone who knows where to find that long sleeved red/white t-shirt Mick wore or is it limited Jagger-edition?

He took 2,5 song to warm up. He was all smiles during the B&L-numbers, and sounded great. The solos are only 3 percent of what he did in that 2,5 hour show.

Hairball, I wondered the exact SFTD opener- while I loved it, I was thinking Mick probably wants a solid punch / how about 'You Got Me Rocking Now'
and I must state:
Ron Wood is an Arabian thorough bred horse. Of the stud variety.
