According to Setlsit FM, he is correct on both SF and Chicago in general.
In '89 The Steel Wheels tour did 3 nights at Alpine Valley, WI (Hop skip and a jump from Chicago) instead of actual Chicago which is a bit odd.
I still recall that dark and rainy night at freeking Alpine Valley... that place is huge... and parking in the swamp. But it was still fun!Quote

I have this in my CHICAGO-2 report:
"Mick said this was the 9th show at Soldier Field, and the 39th in total in Chicago..."
The above is based on notes I made during the show. Also, I made a note of Mick saying "38 shows in Chicago" during CHI-1, and also I do believe he said "8 shows at Soldier Field...
Then I have been contacted by a fan saying Mick said "10th" show at Soldier Field" during the 2nd CHI show.
Anyone with better memory than me? And what's the exact and accurate numbers, I did never get time to check with my files so far.

Xam-What I always found fascinating by looking at old setlists is how different the '65 and '66 Chicago shows were. The music definitely changed a lot on Aftermath.
As far as Chicago being spoiled, before sites like Setlsit FM existed, I had no idea in '97 how lucky we were to get: 19th Nervous Breakdown, Ruby Tuesday, Little Queenie, The Last Time, and Let it Bleed all in the same show. Spoiled indeed!
Sway, Sister Morphine, She's a Rainbow, She was Hot, Monkey Man and many more have made appearances in Chicago.

I have seen them more in Chicago than where I live, including 2 tour openers now.
Chicago is Stones fortunate, that is for sure. And indeed they play a lot of good songs there... I have found the best way to not worry too much about set lists is go see them tour after tour after tour. Eventually they will play every song one desires, except "The Lantern". When I finally got "Sway", after chasing it show after show after show, I closed my book on songs wants... now it is all gravy.
I may forget someday (prolly not) but until I do, my "acquaintances" (used to consider them friends) in Chicago will get heckled mercilessly for wimping out on June 21 (and/or June 25) 2019. When The Stones are playing 10 minutes down the street, one better have a DAMNED GOOD reason (being dead might qualify) for skipping the show.

Thegroove-No, none of those are included in the count just like the 3 Alpine shows are not included in the count. I forgot about Rockford in '81! The Cherboard Lounge show was actually a Muddy Water's show that Mick, Keith, and Ronnie were guests. Checkout Setlsit FM and type "Rolling Stones Chicago" and it will give you the count that matches what Jagger stated.
