Why do they rehearse three weeks after just half a year break and then play the same #$%/ as always? With two "new" songs not played in the last 25 years that will disappear after London.
UMT and Mr D didn't disappear after Hamburg..
right, but Play With Fire and Out Of Control did (the latter after the second show (Munich))

Why do they rehearse? Well if you are a musician, or an athlete, or any kind of person with quality and perfection in mind, you do know that you need to practice and rehearse, all the time, every week, every day, as much as you can. If not, then you will just ride into the sunset like fading stars.

Why do we even have a rehearsal thread at this point? It was fun back when people used to be able to congregate outside and hear what they were trying out different. Apparently no one gets that close anymore.

From the depart of "being careful what you wish for"...
Although I love seeing pictures of rehearsal spaces, set up, etc., I really wish I had never seen an iMac (or any other laptop/pc) as part of Matt's keyboard rig.
Peace,

Of course that's correct. But I just wonder why they rehearse maybe a dozen of very interesting songs during each rehearsal projects - and then they play almost none of them. In 1999 they rehearsed Gun Face, Jump On Top Of Me, Around And Around, Confessin' The Blues in Oakland and One Hit, Salt Of The Earth among others in Amsterdam. Only a few were once played - and only because they did a club show in London. That's pretty wired. They know from the beginning of the rehearsals that they won't play most of these songs. One exception was the Licks tour as a "theme-tour". Are they rehearsing those rarities just for fun. It's very sad that Jagger demands 14/15 warhorses in every show, because he fears not enough reaction from the audience. Why? Do more people buy tickets because they play only standards? I don't think so.

So they are using a different place?

Yes. They rehearse rarities in order to try them out. Some times they work in studio i.e. at the rehearsals, then as they bring the song on to the crowd at the first show they think may be it did not work so they don't do it anymore. If you have been touring for 50+ years then you know what you like and you know what is safe. Then you have something extra in case there is a crowd that is ready for it. But most of the time 90% of the crowd do just want JJF and SFM and Miss You they don't want She's A Rainbow or Memory Motel unfortunately.

U2 have been extremely quiet about their rehearsal location yet alone any leakage.
