Am I right firstly?
Secondly why did this happen only now on No FILTER...
And lastly as the band sounds so reborn, why has no one discussed this here?

Can’t bear your arrogant tone. I’m here to discuss something I enjoy and while you can answer as you like, there’s no need to be that blunt. Obviously the third part is subjective, and it’s something a few people have commented on, and I feel they sounded as fresh and rejuvenated as I’ve heard them in a long while, and that to my ears includes the tempi.

What is it with you? Rokyfan, obviously the pace can be measured, I’m not getting annoyed by someone expressing a different opinion, I’m annoyed by his attitude, his tone, which is plain rude.
My opinion was how rejuvenated and refreshed the band sounded. One poster said listening to them at these concerts reignited his passion for why he loved the RS in the first place, and I agree, and one of those reasons was the increase in pace IMO, not massive but significant I thought. Worthy, valid, interesting I thought but if it’s not pace maybe it’s something else. SFM IMO and Charlie’s drumming on MR are latter day masterpieces IMO....

Didn't people in the front used to get copies of set lists after shows (Licks, Bigger Bang, maybe)? . I remember seeing them posted . . .all songs had the BPM and the key listed (except Happy, I think that would say KR instead of having a metronome number). The point is the tempos are all set, everything is programmed through Chuck's kit, it's not like they can play faster on a given night if they are feeling it or something.

That would be the songs where Chuck does the count-in.
Songs that were started by Keith varied in tempo throughout the tour (JJF, BS, IORR, MR etc). Mostly, they tried to increase the tempo after Keith's intros, though.

Ok, so here's one from 2002 (autographed by Mick) with tempos and stage directions.

You're saying they have changed their procedure and Keith is now in control of each song and they run differently each night? What the setlist shows is that what you describe is the procedure for the two KR songs, and the rest are set in stone, as they say.
(Or maybe the numbers represent where Chuck tries to drag the number to after Keith's slow intros?)

You do remember that it's not the one setlist but more than one tour we used to see these after each show? Obviously the numbers are to tell the stage musicians the tempo of the song, not relating historical info. Also, the lights, cameras, etc. All coordinated to the beat of the song.
