Great report.
Opening show will definitely be the most special this time after the Mick issues.

It was also special in 2014, after L'Wren...
Right, Oslo 2014 had a really special vibe. And Mick came back in an amazing shape, he performed even better than on the Asia tour in Feburary. Also a special set list with Worried about you and Emotional Rescue.Quote

They can retire the blues tunes and put a classic Stones song in that slot.

Every tour it is the same. They play many songs during rehearsals, the warhorses and lesser known songs. And everyone gets their panties wet about the rare songs they are playing. But they never make it to the setlist.

If they do indeed play Sad Sad Sad and Harlem Shuffle, the set list isn't that different from STEEL WHEELS, really.
And yet they still rehearse JJF, SMU etc... good grief, that's ridiculous.

Based upon their history, I would agree with your assessment.
I wish to God they would drop Sympathy for the Devil for good. What a waste of space that tune is. Just recently, I went back and played a sample of that tune from all the good sounding soundboards and boots I have going back to Steel Wheels. From my conclusion (with the exception of the 69 tour), that tune has never sounded as good as when it was last played on the Steel Wheels tour. At least Keith played a mean solo with passion.

It would be fantastic if they brought ER back to the show. With that and Dancing With Mr D being the 2 "deep cuts" of the 19 songs they'll play, I'll have to take it.

its maybe how casual fans of the early stones felt in the 76 tour, expecting time is on my side, the last time. lets spend the night together, paint it black, lady jane, satisfaction, its all over now, not fade away, 19th nervous breakdown, etc and instead getting a lot of, if you cant rock me, its only rock and roll, fingerprint file, hot stuff, hey negrita, fool to cry, hand of fate, star star, tumbling dice, etc.

Everyone, we are NOT going to get deep album cuts. If we get one at all consider yourself lucky.
They will play 20 to 21 songs like they've done the past few years.
I'll bet 95% plus of crowd are casual fans. They like or love the Stones but aren't "purists" like we claim to be.
95% of the crowd will most likely "yawn" at Lady Jane or something similar.
Clap very politely at the end and wonder when HTW will start.
Case in point:
In April 1998 me and 25 other people in a group saw the tour closer in Toronto. ( A rescheduled date)
The Stones played Faraway Eyes. Me and my purist friend high fived each other when they played it.
On the bus, on the way home, 20 of our group went- "what was with the country song? Never heard it before?" Most people didn't like the song.
Me and my buddy loved it. 20+ others hated it or didn't know it.
21 years later? Probably same result.
I haven't seen the Stones since 2005.
So looking forward tohearing SMU, BS, JJF, Sympathy, PIB and so on. They're old friends, now
If my wife (her first show) hear Emotional Rescue? We'll be over the moon.

when i was at the o2 gig in 2007, last gig of tour, an older gent in front of me, well dressed in white cowboy suit and hat, with his wife, looked a bit blank a lot of the times songs started and regularly shrugged his shoulders at his wife as if not to know these songs, i got the impression he had come for the early warhorses or mid 60,s hits but instead at the first half of the gig, got rough justice, wanna hold you, she was hot, cant you hear me knocking, aint to proud to beg, i think he didnt know these.

StonedRamblerThe Rocks Off post said they were invited to come in after Midnight Rambler and PIB. Then they were playing "SMU, JJF, GS & S". So this seems to be the second half of the final setlist (after Keiths set). The rare songs are normally played in the first set. What's really interesting is that Brown Sugar was not played in the second set but Paint It Black instead. Maybe this means Brown Sugar could be the opener?Quote

Thanks - It's good to read that they are playing well. However, songs rehearsed or seen were not new as Keith indicated they would do in an article posted several days ago.
So maybe the setlist could look a bit like that:
Brown Sugar
IORR
TD
Ride em on down/just your fool
?
?

YCAGWYW
HTW
KR1
KR2
SFTD
MY
MR
PIB
SMU
JJF

GS
S

I would leave the stadium in tears if that was the setlist. My brother passed on the Stones this tour and paid $800 for two floor seats to Paul McCartney's show in Las Vegas. The first show of his mini tour is this Saturday in Petco Park San Diego. We'll see which show is the better value.
Is it because you truly have expectations of a different set list? That's a tall order. Everyone knows they're only going to do at least 2 different songs, the rest will be the nostalgic hits show.
