The boys are on the road in 2018! It's incredible!

So many songs have been there:

Jumpin' Jack Flash
Honky Tonk Woman
Street Fighting Man
Sympathy for the Devil
Brown Sugar
Let it Rock
Start Me Up
Satisfaction
Not Fade Away
Get off my Cloud

I am sure that I am missing a few.

Looking through my list of songs, here are some potentials:

Rip this Joint
Rocks Off
Bitch
Fortune Teller
Hang Fire
Dance Little Sister
Heartbreaker
Highwire
Plundered My Soul
Respectable
She Was Hot
Star Star

I think it would be a real surprise and great if they opened with Fortune Teller! A "More Hot Rocks" song!

They should do Sympathy again. That worked well.

Honest Man, Mixed Emotions or @#$%& Blues

- Street Fighting Man

- Shattered

Hopefully Jumpin' Jack Flash - a proper way to start a show with a blast of energy.

And since it's bound to be a warhorse, my next choice would be Street Fighting Man.
Next choice would be Start Me Up - while not a favorite, there's no denying that opening riff is a thrill - especially as an opener.

But if I was writing the setlist, I'd open and close the show with Midnight Rambler. Maybe unrealistic to play a song twice, but a perfect bookend with lots of warhorses in between.

Rip this joint, gonna save your soul, round and round and round we go......

The Honky Tonk Man on lead vocal.. Opening with Connection...

Or in honour of an esteemed IORR-member and Dirty Work fan:

- Fight!

- I wanna be your man (O2)

TE
Oslo

Come on. or We Love you.

Opening with SFTD is one of the special things about this tour, I think they will keep it and even though it works best in the dark, I think it will work in a daylight just fine.

They opened once with Midnight Rambler at the club gig in Australia 2003

Street Fighting Man

Wanna Be Your Man was a fantastic opener in '12, unlikely repeat but something similarly unexpected would be great! Dance Little Sister would work/

Other than Rip This Joint it would be a pee break. Plunder My Soul as an Opener? Are you kidding me? I would actually leave.

I would think Sympathy is a safe bet. They are still in the very early stages of the No Filter Tour.

Ticket Fighting Man

Mixed Emotions!

It's only rock and roll!

In Munich last year SFTD game me the goose bumps, but guess it would not work that well in daylight.
Rocks Off is a tempting idea, like the intro

Sue in Spain

My coat is torn and frayed, it's seen much better days, but as long as the guitar plays ....

Sympathy won't be as effective in daylight, so I think it's out. Id go for SFM or SATISFACTION.

PLEASE not SMU or JJF again !


sc uk

I must admit I do really like SMU as as opener but for something different I think Out of Control would be a great choice.

This Will Be The Last Time.

I kind of like Out of Control, although I still don't know why

Highwire isn't too absurd. Perfect opener, would absolutely work I think, although almost nobody knows the song and although it was never played live. But of course it will not happen. Jagger doesn't like new ideas.

Little Red Rooster

Route 66!

Sfm is great. But i think jjf or smu

Of course you can't start up with a blues or a ballad. You need energy and up-tempo. Preferably not a too heavy warhorse either. It shouldn't be dull.
In a way I think "Under My Thumb" was a good opener. Up-tempo, major scale, not too much of a warhorse. Just speculating...

Honky Tonk Women - 75, 76 or 78 version with long intro
