UNDER MY THUMB is going to win.
end of thread ;-)
Wasn't "Bitch" on a bunch of greatest hits albums ??? More of them than those which "Under My Thumb" was on ???
"Under My Thumb" was pretty rare until they started playing it again in 2006 ..... while they performed "Bitch" consistently in heavy rotation since 1989 (except for on the Voodoo Lounge Tour).
This is because the 60's-era is their classic period. The Stones' hits from this decade are the most loved and recognised to the casual fan.
100% agree with this. Their 1968-1972 is their most critically acclaimed work but the Brian 60s era produced many more chart topping hit singles and it is they that are best known to the general public. I personally prefer this part of their career to any other and would like to see them play more of it but at a guess, Royalties issues with ABKO deter them from doing so.
Talk about your favorite band.

UMT will 99.99% win, it's the only mainstream candidate.
Afaik, the song from Greatest Hits always wins. Only Twickenham was greatest hits free, resulting in much more equal vote distribution, with Bitch winning.
It makes me think how much the polls are played safe ;-)
Would be great if this slot is dedicated to a 'rarity' song, warhorses free.

Can't believe why All down the line and Rocks Off are scoring low.
These are absolutely two of my all time favorites and represent almost everything I love
about them Stones.
Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

It's rigged for the masses -
UMT,LSTNT,GOOMC will always win over fan favourites like Rocks Off, ADTL,Heartbreaker etc.
They would keep the well known numbers out if they were really interested in playing the "rarer" stuff.

I wish they will play "All Down The Line" or "Heartbreaker". Never heard these songs live and I will attend the gig... On contrary, I have heard "UMT" on every show I have a attended during No Filter tour!

I hope that Warsaw will hit a 20-songs set list to end the tour with a little something extra.
Play with Fire would be sooo great , as in Hamburg last year.
And why not Lady Jane, a gem I'd so much love to see them play
And for tomorrow, I'd pick All Down The Line

anything but UMT would be really really great (I can live with UMT, too, but I'd prefer any other of these four)

AS the band seems to be very well oiled and on fire, I would opt for "Rocks Off"

UnDEr My Thumb 1st song I ever heard them do back in ‘81 and don’t think I’ve heard it since - so I’d be very happy to get it. All 4 great choices. Having a blast in lovely Prague - can’t wait for the show!

All great songs and would be happy to hear any of them - they should play them all.
The vote is meaningless.

It isn't so much Greatest Hits songs that win over others - certainly this time out it's songs from the 60s that are overwhelmingly popular whenever they appear in the vote: UMT, LSTNT, Rainbow. GOMC.

The 1964-1968 period produced all the Stones' U.K. #1 singles. Eight in total!

I would vote for "Rocks Off" or "Heartbreaker".
"All Down the Line" was performed in the Czech Republic 2007 show.
