experience> performance> set list
In general I love traveling to see live music. Live music has brought me to some amazing places, both inside the U.S. and beyond

I go for the precise guitar playing!
More seriously, I go for many reasons (and definitely not the setlist, I don't need to hear S4tD, JJF or MR ever again):
- seeing a classic band with such a classic catalogue (they're my new Grateful Dead)
- the Stones are still relatively new to me (got bit by the bug only a few years ago)
- the concerts are fun and I know these will likely be my last Stones shows
- and this summer: an excuse to travel (aside from the Dead, I've never spent more than 2 hours to see a band, this time I'm willing to visit multiple countries, so it's an adventure too).

I wouldn't want to hear them play Satisfaction 18 times in a row, no matter how well they played it, fwiw.

I wonder what you wrote before you had to edit? Must have been really over the top..

I certainly enjoy rarities in the setlist, but I wouldn't be unhappy with a show consisting of 17 performances of Jumping Jack Flash and 2 Midnight Ramblers...

The set list USED TO change from one tour to the next.
Not that much "on a tour" but, the Stones used to offer more of a variety of songs when they played a more fixed set list on one tour and then changed it up for the next tour.
The second time that I went to one of their concerts,they performed 12 songs which were not performed the first time that I went.
The "No Security Tour" was very different (set list wise) from the "Bridges to Babylon Tour" despite some common songs between the two. They were both different from the "Voodoo Lounge Tour" which was different from the "Steel Wheels / Urban Jungle" tours and all of the above were different from '81/'82.
That's actually what got me hooked to keep going.
By the time 2015 rolled around,and I knew that it would be only one song or two different,I decided to only go to one show and sit in the upper deck for $90. Honestly,I was still expecting two songs different,maybe three if I was lucky ..... and got just one song different from what I heard in the past.
I missed "Moonlight Mile" which leads me to the point that this approach of making the set list SLIGHTLY different from one show to the next at the cost of the less performed songs being rotated around is actually a worse scenario for long time fans than sticking with a new fixed set list for a whole tour. For example,you didn't have to worry about missing "Monkey Man" (which was new to their live set at the time) in 1994.

I would love to see a setlist consisting of two Jumping Jack flash and 17 Midnight Ramblers.
